It's a new year and resolutions have been made about everything from eating and drinking, to spending and saving, to gaining and losing, to doing and refraining. To the extent that these obligatory resolutions are well intentioned, this year I purpose more.
I personally resolve to take better care of myself and to become an advocate for personal exercise. I resolve to eat less garbage. I resolve to be even more involved in helping those who cannot help themselves. I resolve to help free those in prison and to help teach the uneducated. I resolve to pursue and represent the "Truth."
TRENDING: America's most dangerous demographic
Accordingly, I resolve to take better care of myself and encourage others to do the same by exercising my constitutional rights as an American citizen imbued with evident truths that proclaim "... all men are created equal, that [we] are endowed by [The] Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." I hold these truths not based on natural law as such, but based on my belief in the Triune God.
My equality is not based upon education, economic or social attainment, but rather upon the firm belief that God created us all equal, in that all men have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I intend to pursue this truth as never before.
Our lives, our liberties and our pursuit of happiness are being threatened and eroded by socialist liberals and spineless legislators on a near daily basis. I am but one man, with one voice, but I resolve to exercise my voice in a more demonstrative and aggressive way to begin reclaiming these fundamental rights.
My copy of the Constitution contains an introductory sentence that reads:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Allowing your copy says the same, I read no wiggle room in it, i.e., any provision that nefarious malefactors should be allowed to corrupt and erode the guarantee therein contained. While most would argue that the subsequent Bill of Rights augments this sentence, I am increasingly persuaded to agree with Alexander Hamilton, who referring to same wrote:
I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulatory power, but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible preference for claiming that power.
– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 84, 575-581, May 28, 1788
Accordingly I purpose to aggressively exercise my right to live my life free of the tyranny of that which Hamilton warned.
I resolve to not imbibe the garbage that people of ill will and malicious self-serving intent force upon us under the guise of good government, inclusion, environmental necessity and diversity. Good government isn't manipulative practices, unjust taking and/or attempting to control and micro-manage my life – specifically my thoughts, feelings and behavior.
I resolve to aggressively help those who cannot help themselves. Tens of millions of unborn children have been murdered under the damnable heresy of "choice." The right choice is not to get pregnant. The way not to do that is to behave in a morally responsible way. That includes the married and unmarried alike.
To destroy an unborn life for no other reason than because it is deemed an inconvenience is a barbaric evil. People rail against the killing of pigs, cows and chickens, but at least the killings of these animals are for a worthy and noble good, i.e., human sustenance. The murdering of unborn children is for selfish convenience, no matter how the argument for same is shaped. Those poor innocents are simply discarded into incinerators and landfills. Where is the outrage on their behalf?
I further resolve to help free those in prison and to teach the uneducated. Many today are imprisoned in ideological, self-limiting prisons that create dependence and servitude to a few. They are in bondage to lies, misrepresentations and ignorance. "Truth" shall be my sword of emancipation, because only truth can set men free.
My resolutions are not intended to bring me applause as though I dropped two pants sizes – they are intended to bring freedom to myself and those who will hear and act.
