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
