Action on the basis fact and justice, rather than emotional rage

Folks,

I think that we have been going about solving many of our nations problems in a way that is not effective - here is why:

- Although absolute truth exists, many of do not have an understanding of every answer known to man.
- Although we have our ideas, beliefs, and morale, we don't share the same with others (hell, we don't completely agree with each other).
- We have goals and ambitions, so do others.
- We will never win over everyone to our causes (we may never reach a majority).

Let's go back to the basis. Rather than, for example, trying to win over other on Life issues, lets focus on precedent and Constitutional powers. Even folks within the pro-life movement disagree on many different aspects of abortion et al. Organizations that are like minded in their approach to different areas of certain movements also disagree internally on various issues.

What keeps organizations together despite disagreements? Their Bylaws. Although dissensions may occur within organizations, their statement of beliefs and procedures for operation are listed in their constitution and/or bylaws.

The same principle goes for America. Our bylaws are our constitution. Lets be realistic, and use the constitution to our defence. After all, pro-lifers will not win the battle on defining life and it's origins, because as it stands, there are so many "operational definitions." Focus your attention on Roe v. Wade. First, the precedent for the case in very weak (Griswold v. Connecticut). Secondly, according to the Constitution, the U.S. Supreme Court did not posses the powers to create this new law regarding abortions.

This was just an example, but there are absolutely not definers for many areas of morality in our country any longer - consensus about norms is severely breaking down. All we have is law, because it seems to be the only definer as to what is "right" and "wrong" in this country, despite our religious beliefs. And while all we have is law, the US Constitution is supreme. The founding fathers prepared for a weakening consensus, not only because they understood Government, but also because they understood human nature.

Lets defend our constitution. This is the only true justice that exists within our country, aside from God and His Sovereignty. Once the Constitution is upheld again as being supreme, and is adhered to by Government, our freedoms and rights will be secured and will allow us to fight for what is right and just.

Although I plead with you all to defend the constitution, I do not say that we should not fight for what we believe to be correct. I only say that, as a default, we turn to the constitution because it is all we have to secure our freedoms in this country.

Live for Freedom, Fight for the Cause!
