President Joe Biden has given his State of the Union speech before Congress and the nation. Of all the socialistic and ridiculous things he said, the MOST outlandish and scary thing was his statement, “We the people ARE THE GOVERNMENT.” What? How far out is that?
When the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, we had no central government. We lived under the rules established for each individual colony. Each colony had a representative in the Continental Congress, and from that gathering of patriots came the idea of forming a central government, a more perfect union of the colonies. The people had just thrown off the tyrannical rule of King George III of England and desired for themselves a government that would be sensitive to and acts in accordance with the wishes of the people. In forming the core document, the Constitution, that would define how the government should operate, they reserved for the people certain rights and privileges that the government would have NO PURVIEW of. That means that the government should NOT intervene, in any way, in those areas that are spelled out in the Constitutional amendments. They are our Bill of Rights!
