SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2016
This Sunday in America…
…at the Church of The Compassionate Conservative, Beloved Whistleblower Publisher, the Right-Wing Reverend Charles Foster Kane was once again asking his Political Parishioners to ask for God’s protection for the U.S. Constitution.
Yesterday was supposed to be “Constitution Day” in America as The Blower explained in our Special “Constitution Day” E-dition, but since September 17 fell on a Saturday this year, schools were supposed to celebrate Constitution Day on Friday when children were in school, and we’re still waiting to hear something about it from our local Kneepad Liberals in the Press.
September 17 was chosen because it was the last session of the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, during which the final version of the newly written U.S. Constitution was signed by 39 delegates.
Constitution Day was created by Congress in 2004 to require that all schools which receive federal funding offer some type of “educational program” on the U.S. Constitution, but it never actually defined what should be taught.
Here’s what our Founding Fathers had to say about The Constitution:
George Washington said, “The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.”
Benjamin Franklin said, “The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.”
John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
Samuel Adams said, “The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.”
James Madison said, “The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.”
Later, Andrew Jackson said, “All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a mere bubble, except guaranteed to them by an independent and virtuous Judiciary.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”
Ronald Reagan said, “The United States Constitution is the impassioned and inspired vehicle by which we travel through history. It grew out of the most fundamental inspiration of our existence: that we are here to serve Him by living free — that living free releases in us the noblest of impulses and the best of our abilities; that we would use these gifts for good and generous purposes and would secure them not just for ourselves and for our children but for all mankind.”
And Disingenuous DemocRAT presidential candidate Barack Obama described the U.S. Constitution as having “deep flaws” during a September 2001 Chicago public radio program, adding that the country’s Founding Fathers had “an enormous blind spot” when they wrote it. Obama also remarked that the Constitution “reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.” Since then Obama has trampled the Constitution too many times to count.
Now you see why this Sunday we’re praying for the U.S. Constitution.
