Common Sense? More Like Rape: A Constitutional Rape-ology
PLEASE COPY, EDIT AND DISTRIBUTE WIDELY. Written by Englishmuffin ;-) I cannot vouch for the authenticity of all the purported rapes described below. The below is one humble citizen's attempt to elucidate the state of our nation. I do however urge you to start your own investigation of what is really going on. Is government incompetent or truly trying to destroy us? Does our current government align with that intended by the Framers of the Constitution?
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. (Declaration of Independence)
The Senators and Representatives... and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation. (Article II - The Executive Branch,Section 1)
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. (Article VI - Debts, Supremacy, Oaths)
Constitutionalists (includes those taking oaths??) beware, your government sees you as a threat:

or maybe the oath is outdated anyway (grin) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/21/AR2009012103685_pf.html

The Communist Manifesto
By comparison, let's look at policies by our government that align with The Communist Manifesto.
[edit]
10 Conditions For Transition To Communism
1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
See Eminent Domain, see many cases regarding federal confiscation of land.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
We've got that.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
See estate tax.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
See terror watch list, no buy proposals. See laws that demand taxes years after you have given up your citizenship and moved to another country.
5. Centralisation of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
See federal reserve and calls for world banking systems.
6. Centralisation of the means of communication and transport in tears after you have given up your US citizenship.
See FTC, USDOT. See federal planned military checkpoints within US and existing NSA monitoring of all communications.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
See federal takeover of GM and Eminent Domain abuse to take over farmland.
8. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
See prison labor. See forced service programs for young people.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equal distribution of the population over the country.
See non-enforcement of borders, growing federal authority over states.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference">[7]</sup>
See current education system, calls for free college education. Many schools now emply children in producing for the state.
