ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU
ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY JFK
A Free Nation Doesn't Do This

The concept of "government" in the United States, a.k.a United
Socialist States of America, is skewed beyond belief, intruding
into every aspect of our lives whether we realize it or not. In
so doing, people are being trained more and more to ask "why
doesn't the government do something?" The proper question to ask
is, "why don't we do something?" and leave the government out of
it.
Never did the founders of this nation envision a people of such
dependence on government less than two hundred years after the
American Revolution had freed them from the tyranny of the
British Crown. Nor did our founders envision a people who would
willingly sell themselves back into such tyranny by allowing
government to grow to unprecedented size, with unprecedented
expenditures [supposedly for the public good] and unprecedented
power to intrude into the lives of the people at every stage
from cradle to grave. Such a nation would have been unworthy of
the investment they made in the future of freedom and the
granting of liberty as the birthright of all Americans and the
acquired right of all legally naturalized citizens.
There is nothing in our Constitution that even remotely
contemplates a government that is in the business of child care,
education, enormous welfare programs, automobile or other
transportation design standards, the protection of trees, owls
and fish, health and other forms of insurance including home
mortgage insurance, the obesity and food consumption habits of
its people, underwriting higher education via grants and loans,
and the "right" to invade private homes or tap into personal
communications without just cause and a proper warrant. Nor did
the framers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
contemplate foreign nation-building by the federal government of
this nation at the expense of our citizens, the taxpayers, who
inevitably pay the bill, since government has no income of its
own.
Farther yet from the minds of the founders would have been the
idea that this nation would ever surrender control of its
treasury to a private institute deceptively named the Federal
Reserve Board, made up of private bankers, domestic and foreign.
All of the above has occurred, and most of it in the twentieth
century, with the final power being usurped from the people in
bills passed, unread, by the elected Congress after September
11, 2001.
People who understand liberty as more than being able to choose
to see the movie of the week, the big ballgame or the latest
miniseries on television do not sit quietly by and allow
"government" [which is now a catch-all term for the power
holders] to abrogate the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,
nor will they obey a Supreme Court whose interpretations of the
law of the land are so far afield as to be ludicrous. Public
disobedience is at times necessary when there is flagrant abuse
of power by those who assume and wield it because they are
backed up by the nation's police powers.
Perhaps the most flagrant abuse of this power by the Supreme
Court has come about by a total misconstruction of the First
Amendment, to suit the purpose of the government rather than to
assure the equitable application of the law of the land.
There is no such phrase in the Constitution as "separation of
church and state" or any "wall of separation between church and
state."
Read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and you shall find
no such statements. What is written in the First Amendment, of
which so much has been said and which the courts have so
maliciously misconstrued is this:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging
the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for
a redress of grievances.
Ample evidence of the intentions of the founders to rely
