Top 10 Reasons Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water – #2

This is Day 9 of a 10-part installment.

2. If Officials Will Not Defend the Constitution, Tea Partiers Will.

Government officials, judges, armed forces, attorneys and others take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America as exemplified in this current oath for members of Congress. But, most of our elected and appointed officials nowadays seem to simply repeat the words without truly comprehending their meaning or feeling honor-bound by this solemn oath. Therefore, we Tea Partiers have become champions and defenders of the United States Constitution because those in Washington D.C. who have sworn to defend it ARE NOT!

We are completely fed up with politicians across the spectrum picking and choosing which parts of the Constitution they choose to follow and which parts they choose to ignore.  We are fed up with lawyers and judges trying to find and argue ways to get around it.  Most of the major problems we face as a nation could be solved if we would just go back to following this divinely inspired, unprecedented and unequaled, revolutionary document as it has been amended, which by the way the country has done 27 times.  Over 600,000 Americans died getting it right.

Nothing is perfect – but if the majority of the country does not like something in the Constitution, then there is a process for us to amend it rather than ignore it when the Constitution becomes inconvenient for whichever Presidential administration, majority of Congress or political party happens to be in power.

Here are a couple of amendments that Tea Partiers are considering:

  • Repeal the 16th amendment so the federal government cannot collect income taxes
  • Impose term limits on all elected federal officials, federal judges and maybe even Supreme Court Justices
  • Delineate the political elite are not entitled to have better benefits than We the People and “renegotiate” their “employment” contract so we can fire them when we learn they are not doing their job (such as not writing or reading the bills they enact) or fire them immediately when we learn they are not paying their taxes

In the meantime, we will use voter imposed term limits in 2010, 2012 and beyond.

Final word to those in office: truly uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America or GET OUT!

Monday we will unveil the Top Reason Why Both Parties Are in Tea Party Hot Water. Until then, enjoy the weekend and keep the tea brewing.
