America's Basic Principles

Our National & State Governments  have preserved our people in relative freedom for over 200 years !! Why Change It ??

Read More Below:
Our U.S. and State Constitutions serve two purposes:

1. They “Restrain” government power to protect the people’s rights.
2. They “Enumerate” what activities our government can perform. 

Our State and National governments were founded upon, “Mixed Constitutions”, in that the Legislative, Executive and Judicial branches work together to administer our government. Through a system of “Checks and Balances”, all 3 branches limit the power of the others, thereby protecting the God-Given Rights of the people. If each branch doesn’t function as intended, the system falls apart and government begins to infringe on the people who then serve as the last line of defense against Tyranny. As the Founders of America knew:

“Only an educated and active electorate can “Hold The Line”..and Protect The People”…

And yes, let us not fool ourselves into thinking that any nation in the world is oblivious. The process toward tyranny begins when, “The State” begins exceeding Constitutional powers, which is already happening in these United States. Please watch the following videos and become familiar with the importance of Constitutional government, an overview of government and economic systems, the proper  political spectrum and role of government,  and lastly why the Right To Defend Ourselves is so vital to a free state.

“It Is A Precedent Fraught With Danger to the Country, For
When Congress Once Begins To Stretch It’s Power Beyond The Limits
Of the Constitution, there Is No Limit To It, And No Security For The People.”

                                                   Horatio Bunce
                                           From the JBS Brochure..”
                                                A Humbling Lesson

*The Free Market*

Very simply, “The Free Market allows participants to exchange goods and services with a minimum of government rules and regulations“. That’s It in a Nutshell !! It allows you and I to set up a lemonade stand, or a table at a Flea Market. It also allows you to buy a new car, a house, or even take a job at your terms and not the government’s. It allows you to shop around and find the best deals or invest in opportunities that you expect will “Increase in Value which is called Speculation” It also allows Merchants to keep their shelves full as they meet the demand for goods. In the USA we are all accustomed to shelves being full of food and merchandise, however, this is not always the case in other lands.

The problem occurs when market participants seek an unfair competitive advantage…to profit more than the real and honest market will allow. The best channel for this is with the help of Government. “In exchange for support of their Campaigns and Political Agenda”, they will be given Tax-Payer monies, or granted Monopolies and special Legislation that they unfairly benefit from. This is called, “Corruption and it only gets worse as Government expands in size, scope, and authority. The ultimate example Is “The Federal Reserve” which has control over the nation’s money.

“Don’t be deceived into giving up the Free Market and exchanging it for a Government-Controlled-Economy…. One rife with Corruption and inability to respond to Customer demand..”

  • Scott Bradley , at “Preserve The Nation”, does a nice 7-part Summary of The United States Constitution.
    You can watch it here:


    …”If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed…”                      George Washington

    From the National Center for Constitutional Studies…
    The Proper Political Spectrum is based on “Political Power Not Political Parties !” On one extreme rests “Anarchy” where there is no Law and no established government power, while at the opposite end there is “Tyranny”, a system of excessive government control and oppression. The goal of the founders of America was to discover the “Balanced Center” between these two extremes…..to establish a system of “People’s Law” where there is a system of government with enough power to maintain security , justice and good order, but not enough government to abuse the people. The Founder’s Political Spectrum might be graphically illustrated as follows”:
    Picture
    The United States was set up as a Republic rather than a Democracy. Why? Theoretically, a democracy requires the full participation of the masses of people in the legislative or decision-making processes of government. This has never worked because the people become so occupied with their daily tasks that they will not properly study the issues, nor will they take the time to participate in extensive hearings before the vote is taken. The Greeks tried to use democratic mass-partipation in the government of their city-states, and each time it ended in tyranny…….A democracy becomes increasingly unwieldy and inefficient as the population grows. A republic, on the other hand, governs through elected representatives and can be expanded indefinitely…..pg. 153-154….5000 Year Leap…

    The Founders’ Unchanging Principles of LibertyAs we celebrate the Declaration of Independence in July and the Constitution in September, let us once again reflect on the marvelous principles underlying these two documents. The following is a review of these principles together with a comment or a quote by the Founders. Documentation may be found in 
    The Five Thousand Year Leap.
