			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">I was sitting in Starbucks next to a couple college girls who were talking about politics.&nbsp; One girl said that her parents are &ldquo;Republican and all that&rdquo; and mused that it would be nice to &ldquo;marry someone who is liberal to balance it out.&rdquo;&nbsp; She went on to say that she wanted to &ldquo;get outside that bubble.&rdquo;<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">My dear young friend, It&rsquo;s not a &ldquo;bubble&rdquo; it&rsquo;s a value system.&nbsp; If someone is Republican they might be either liberal or conservative.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">If you are liberal you believe that the federal government has the primary responsibility to protect you and provide for your needs.&nbsp; They believe we are protected by government regulations, and we are provided for by taking money out of your paycheck and giving some of the money you&rsquo;ve earned to other people.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">If you are conservative you believe that the federal government&rsquo;s responsibilities are outlined and limited to what is in the Constitution and the subsequent Amendments.&nbsp; Specifically:<br />
</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;">Protecting citizens God-given rights (on-going)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> National Defense (on-going)<br />
    </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Establishing Federal Courts (done)<br />
    </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Copyright Protection (on-going)<br />
    </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Establishing a national set of weights and measures (done)<br />
    </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18px;"> Establishing Post Office (on-going)<br />
    </span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Everything else should be taken care of by the individual citizen or the state government.</p>
<p></span><span style="font-size: 18px;">The problem with getting outside a &ldquo;bubble&rdquo; is that requires destroying the bubble &hellip; and that bubble can never be restored.</span><span style="font-size: 18px;"></p>
<p></span><em><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">If you think that you should make the decision about who to help with your money and how much you should give them, then you my young friend are not liberal, you are conservative.</span><br />
</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">The Constitution will go the way of the Bible in America.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br />
Today the Bible is considered by most a quaint symbol of an idealistic time.&nbsp; At best it&rsquo;s remembered and referred to nostalgically, but it is also regarded as the source of manipulation and all that is evil in human behavior.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Likewise there will soon be a day in which our Constitution will suffer the same fate.<br />
Public officials will no longer swear to &ldquo;defend the Constitution of the United States&rdquo; but will rather simply &ldquo;affirm to defend the United States&rdquo; &hellip; then at some point even the United States will be replaced by some globally sensitive body.<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">I beg all Conservatives to prove me wrong &hellip; Fight to free our liberties from the death-grip of politicians from both the Democratic and Republican parties!</span></strong></em><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Kagan does not believe that our Declaration of Independence has the force of law in the United States.&nbsp; Clearly she lacks the fundamental understanding of our nation&rsquo;s founding and its subsequent laws.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">As President Lincoln stated in this Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861:<br />
</span><em><span style="font-size: 18px;">&quot;The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776.&quot;<br />
</span></em><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br />
J.M. Balkin, Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment, Yale Law School wrote:<br />
</span><em><span style="font-size: 18px;">&ldquo;What is the point of constitutional government in the United States of America? It is the eventual redemption in history of the principles of our founding document. I do not mean the written Constitution of 1787. I mean the Declaration of Independence of 1776. American constitutionalism is and must be a commitment to the promises the Declaration makes about our future as a people. Our country sprang forth from a revolution in political and social structure. The Declaration explains the point of that revolution, and hence the point of our constitutional enterprise.&rdquo;</span></em><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><object height="303" width="480"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kHdlOMBefxs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1" name="movie" /><param value="true" name="allowFullScreen" /><param value="always" name="allowscriptaccess" /><embed height="303" width="480" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kHdlOMBefxs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1?rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6&amp;border=1"></embed></object></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Perhaps Kagan&rsquo;s opposition to the Declaration of Independence exposes the fact that <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"><em><strong>while liberals claim to support the fact that all men are created equal, they neither legislate nor rule in accordance with this stated belief.</strong></em></span><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Lincoln said, &ldquo;On the question of liberty, as a principle, we are not what we have been. When we were the political slaves of King George, and wanted to be free, we called the maxim that &quot;all men are created equal&quot; a self evident truth; but now when we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves ourselves, we have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim &quot;a self evident lie.&quot;<br />
&#8211;August 15, 1855 Letter to George Robertson<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">One of the key differences between the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution is that it is the Declaration of Independence that affirms that we are &ldquo;all men are created equal&rdquo; and endowed by our &ldquo;Creator&rdquo; with unalienable rights.<br />
</span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">Kagan and the Obama administration will strip away our individual rights because they believe it is not God who grants rights but government.&nbsp; Thus Government decides who is allowed rights and under what conditions.</span><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="font-size: 18px;">This is exactly why our nation was founded, this is what the Declaration of Independence is fighting against, this is why the Obama Administration will nullify the Declaration of Independence &hellip; And this is why we must resist tyranny!</span></strong></em></p>
