The new pledge is as follows:

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the American Federal Government and to the Socialist Empire for which it stands. One nation without sovereign states, with injustice and indentured servitude for all.

Ask Americans what type of government we have and I believe most would say a Democracy. Unfortunately the dumbed down populace is both right and wrong at the same time. We are supposed to be a Republic but we're only a Democracy now. When Obama said he will redistribute the wealth, he really was saying you don't have a constitution any more you only have majority rule. To be more precise we really stopped being a Republic back in 1913. As you watch your income taxes rise over the next few years taking more of your wealth without your consent remember that the founding fathers never intended your wages be directly taxed. I mourn for my Children because they will never know America the Republic but only the perverted America the Democracy.


"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.
"
John Adams

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
Benjamin Franklin

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government -- lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.
"
Patrick Henry

James Madison - "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.
"

As Benjamin Franklin left the Constitutional Convention, on September 18, 1787, a certain Mrs. Powel shouted out to him: "Well, doctor, what have we got?," and Franklin responded: "A Republic, if you can keep it.
"


A Republic, Not a Democracy

Throughout the presidential election controversy, we have been bombarded with references to our sacred "democracy." Television and radio shows have been inundated with politicians worried about the "will of the people" being thwarted by the courts. Solemn warnings have been issued concerning the legitimacy of the presidency and the effects on our "democratic system" if the eventual winner did not receive the most popular votes. "I'm really in love with our democracy," one presidential candidate gushed to a reporter. Apparently, the United States at some point become a stealth democracy at the behest of news directors and politicians.

The problem, of course, is that our country is not a democracy. Our nation was founded as a constitutionally limited republic, as any grammar school child knew just a few decades ago (remember the Pledge of Allegiance: "and to the Republic for which it stands"...?). The Founding Fathers were concerned with liberty, not democracy. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. On the contrary, Article IV, section 4 of the Constitution is quite clear: "The United States shall guarantee to every state in this Union a Republican Form of Government (emphasis added). The emphasis on democracy in our modern political discourse has no historical or constitutional basis.

In fact, the Constitution is replete with undemocratic mechanisms. The electoral college is an obvious example. Small states are represented in national elections with greater electoral power than their populations would warrant in a purely democratic system. Similarly, sparsely populated Wyoming has the same number of senators as heavily populated New York. The result is not democratic, but the Founders knew that smaller states had to be protected against overreaching federal power. The Bill of Rights provides individuals with similar protections against the majority. The First Amendment, for example, is utterly undemocratic. It was designed to protect unpopular speech against democratic fervor.
Would the same politicians so enamored with democracy be willing to give up freedom of speech if the majority chose to do so?
Our Founders instituted a republican system to protect individual rights and property rights from tyranny, regardless of whether the tyrant was a king, a monarchy, a congress, or an unelected mob. They believed that a representative government, restrained by the Bill of Rights and divided into three power sharing branches, would balance the competing interests of the population. They also knew that unbridled democracy would lead to the same kind of tyranny suffered by the colonies under King George. In other words, the Founders had no illusions about democracy. Democracy represented unlimited rule by an omnipotent majority, while a constitutionally limited republic was seen as the best system to preserve liberty. Inalienable individual liberties enshrined in the Bill of Rights would be threatened by the "excesses of democracy.
"
Last week I introduced a resolution in Congress which reaffirms our nation's republican form of government. H.Con Res 443 serves as a response to recent calls for the abolition of the electoral college. The collectivist liberals want popular national elections (rather than the electoral college system) because they know their constituencies are concentrated in certain heavily populated states. They want to nullify the voting power of the smaller, pro-liberty states. Supporters of my resolution in Congress can send a strong message that every state still matters, and that liberty is more important than shifting majority sentiment.

Young Chuck in Montana bought a horse from a farmer for $100. The
farmer agreed to deliver the horse the next day. The next day he drove
up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the horse died.'

Chuck replied, 'Well, then just give me my money back.'

The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and spent it already'

Chuck said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the dead horse.'

The farmer asked, 'What ya gonna do with him?

Chuck said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'

The farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead horse!'

Chuck said, 'Sure I can, Watch me. I just won't tell any body he's dead.'

A month later, the farmer met up with Chuck and asked, 'What happened
with that dead horse?'

Chuck said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a
piece and made a profit of $998.'

The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Chuck said, 'Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back.'

Chuck grew up and works now for the government. He was the one who
figured out how to "bail us out".

My children and this country deserve better then the lessor of two evils. Your argument to vote for the lessor of two evils is not the least bit compelling to me and I will not waste a moment thinking about it. Conservatism is dead. It needs to be replaced by Constitutional Activism. Conservatism reduced itself to trying to slow the progression of socialism often going along with the very thing they claimed to be against. No longer will I call myself a conservative the name is meaningless. I'm a constitutionalist. No longer will I accept the institutionalized socialism that has been built into government. I know that the Federal Reserve, Dept of Education and other entities are unconstitutional.  I will fight to abolish them. I will not support any candidate who does not have that same goal. We have compromised ourselves to the brink of destruction. I will not compromise any more. We have accepted immoral men as our leaders and rationalized it as just the way things are. We may have passed the point of no return but I will never again be apart of the corruption. I will vote my conscience. I know in my soul the only wasted vote is a vote for the lessor of two evils.

"Toxic assets" that's what we own now as taxpayers. How does toxic assets translate into the government will make a profit? The investment phone solicitors at least make a better pitch for the hot stock that will be the next Microsoft. We didn't even get a good sales pitch. Just fear,sky is falling fear. So now comes the sacrifice part, no it won't be the Wall Street crowd that does the suffering. They have learned to play the Keynesian inflation game to a tee. They have their butts covered. The suffering will be where it always is the people that work. Who actually create something or provide a needed service, the real free market world. Small businesses that believe in the fundamentals of sound business and don't expand recklessly. They will suffer right along with the good people that did business with them . The real economy may very well be destroyed by the Keynesian libertines who gorged themselves on the perverted capitalism that really isn't capitalism but corporatism. Big government allied with multinational corporations, investment banks etc.. That jealously guard their turf like the most ruthless mafia family. America what promise we had.
But we didn't listen to our founding fathers who warned us not to blindly trust our government. To take care in who we elect and make the effort to be involved enough to ensure they kept their oath to defend the constitution. We got complacent and did nothing while the choices we were offered dwindled down to the lessor of two evils. So here we are now, all that hard work and dreams of a people who believed in America maybe wipe away by toxic assets and derivative bubbles bursting. Taken down without a single shot fired.

1 trillion dollars spent a year on a vain attempt to maintain an American Empire. McCain recently said he's ok with occupying Iraq for the next 100 years. And this is sanity? What arrogance these people are showing not only towards Ron Paul but to the American people. "We know better then that worn out piece of paper called the constitution". What happen to speak softly and carry a big stick? Yes have a strong defense, not to start wars but to prevent them from happening. Ron Paul is the only one talking like a true Republican. I pray to God that people see though the war propaganda and hear the words of a true patriot. A man who took his oath of office seriously to defend the constitution. Because look at the Government we have now composed of people who make a mockery of the constitution.  And look seriously at the very flawed men who claim to be Republican because they don't represent the platform the good people of the GOP have made.

When the constitution is no longer is the law of the land no right is safe. This was a local issue imagine the police being replaced by Federal Agents enforcing the The Patriot  Act with no warrant because some vindictive neighbor accoused you of being a terrorist. Now imagine The Violent Radicalization & Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act being enforced, This nut job ranting about the constitution, only terrorist who have something to hide act this way............. For those of you that don't understand police tactics, when a cop says why do you object  do you have something to hide? That's a ploy to get a person to voluntarily give up their civil rights. Never give this right up.
