The Medlock Post Ep. 74: Trust God or Trust Government

The Founding Fathers relied on their faith in the Creator to write the Constitution of the United States based on Judeo-Christian Values.  These Judeo-Christian Values developed in the Colonist to produce a “Public Virtue” which led them to a strength for Self-Government.  Not only did the Founding Fathers believe this, but also the Colonist who wanted to be free from Tyranny. Otherwise, the “new experiment” would not have succeeded as well as it has.

What Does Being an American Mean to You?

October 29, 2022

"What It Means to Be American" By Micah R. from Columbus High School in Montana

The word freedom comes to mind when we think of the question what does it mean to be American because America is known throughout the world as a country built on freedom.

“What it means to be American is a pretty complex topic,” to quote my English teacher Mr. Olsen. I didn’t fully understand what he meant by that until I started writing and rewriting this paper. When first analysing the question I didn’t think much of it and I figured it was a pretty easy question to answer. This question however, is like any other question and can have many different meanings depending on the person answering it. I’ve heard it defined as having freedom or being free. According to a survey done by George H. Gallup Jr. given to students from 13-17 about what it means to be American the majority of the kids mentioned freedom in their responses. One fifteen year old boy who took the survey said this, “Being an American means being proud of my country and defending our right to free speech and the freedom to be who we are. I will defend my right to be free to the death.” (George H. Gallup, 2016) The word freedom comes to mind when we think of the question what does it mean to be American because America is known throughout the world as a country built on freedom. The last line of our National anthem has the word freedom in it, “for the land of the free, and the home of the brave.” (Francis Scott Key, 1814) Freedom is a key part of America and is something we should cherish but it doesn’t answer the question fully, there is more to it than that.

Voting like freedom is an honor that you have in America. The right to vote is a very important issue that has been fought over throughout our country's history. In the beginning only white males who owned land could vote, then it expanded to all white males, women got the right to vote in 1919, and finally African Americans got the right to vote in 1969. The right to vote has been discussed and critiqued throughout the years leading up to equal voting rights.

Franklin D. Roosevelt said this, “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” (Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1902) This could happen if the percentage of Americans who vote keeps decreasing, we only have ourselves to blame for not using our right to vote.

America is a great country with lots of opportunities, I am proud to live here and be a part of this nation. I am eighteen now which means I can legally vote and I plan on doing so. I believe as an American citizen voting is a duty that I am obliged to and that everyone should when they are of legal age. As I’ve learned throughout my study of what it means to be American there are many different opinions and answers to the question. Each person has a different perspective on it, and we each have an individual opinion. Voting is one way to be able to use your opinion, and I believe that it is taken for granted. Voting is a huge part of this country and it shouldn’t be pushed aside. If no more than 65 percent of Americans vote during a presidential election, that is a problem. We must make voting more of a priority in society and get the voting percentages up to a higher amount. If voting is the way we choose who is president of our country, it should not be taken lightly. Voting is an honor, and it is a major part of what it means to be American. "

SCOTUS & Contemporary Politics by Richard G. Medlock

October 29, 2022

SCOTUS & Contemporary Politics

This is a response to an email this morning concerning the following article:

"Supreme Court justices spar over court legitimacy comments"

Let me start out by turning to the Founding Father that wrote most of the Constitution, James Madison.  There are two quotes from The Federalist Papers that will help us understand what might be going on with SCOTUS.

In Federalist 47 James Madison explained this “When the legislative and executive powers are united and the same person or body, there can be no liberty because apprehensions may arise at least the same monarch or Senate should enact tyrannical laws to execute them in a tyrannical manner. Or the power of judging joined with this legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control, for the judge would then be the legislator. Were it joined to the executive power the judge might behave with all the violence of an oppressor.”

Here, Madison is explaining the problems that will develop if "Separation of Powers" is not kept intact.  Tyranny.  We have seen this warning come true in the last few presidential administrations, even under Trumps admin.  But the movement had already started, and Trump's attempts at halting the movement were limited and have been completely undone by Biden.  This current administration is the gravest example of Madison's warning.  I believe the Democratic Marxists have intentionally escalated their plans to destroy America.

In Federalist 39, James Madison explained it this way. “The first question that offers itself is whether the general form and aspect of the government be strictly republican. It is evident that no other form would be reconcilable with the genius of the people of America; With the fundamental principles of the Revolution; or would that honorable determination which animates every votary of freedom to rest all our political experiments on the capacity of mankind for self-government. If the plan of the convention, therefore, be found to depart from the republican character, its advocates must abandon it as no longer defensible.”

On The Medlock Post, I have mentioned the question about new bills and laws.  "Which principle of the Constitution does this bill, law, regulation. or government agency apply to?"  This is what Madison is saying in Federalist 39.  Tom Herron and I discussed this on The Medlock Post Ep. 71 program Wednesday.  Every American should be asking this question right now.

How does this apply to SCOTUS and the cries that it is no longer legitimate?

Let's start by looking at the Dobbs ruling.  Those of us who opposed abortion have always asked the question, "Where is this in the Constitution?"  I think the six justices who ruled against Dobbs asked themselves that very question and found that principle was not there.  Upholding the Constitution in the Dobbs ruling and the other rulings they made earlier this year.

This is what brought about such a firestorm and screams of illegitimacy of SCOTUS.  The Marxists hate the Constitution and discredit that INSPIRED DOCUMENT as irrelevant.  They have the media on their side screaming the message of SCOTUS being over-rated and probably not necessarily needed in today's United States and especially not in the New World Order.

By discrediting SCOTUS, this can give the Marxists a good reason to ignore their rulings.  This is called "ANARCHY" by the ruling party and their followers. And the Founding Father's also called it, "Ruler's Law".

Let me finish with this quote concerning the Constitution:

“Anyone who says the American Constitution is obsolete just because of social and economic conditions have changed does not understand the real genius of the Constitution. It was designed to control something which has not changed and will not change – namely, human nature.”

W. Cleon Skousen, 5000 Year Leap

This "human nature" is what is driving the Marxists.  Power. Greed. Lust.  And it goes to the five conditions of society the Marxists are creating to maintain their Power.  CHAOS, DIVISION, FEAR, HATRED, AND VIOLENCE.

We need to "heed not the negative voices" in the world.  And as Thomas Sowell said, "Many on the Left are so enhanced by the beauty of their vision that they cannot see the ugly reality they are creating in the real world."

Thomas Jefferson said, "The Spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to always be kept alive.  It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.  I like a little rebellion now and then.  It is like a storm in the atmosphere."

We the People should be that "storm in the atmosphere" at all times and Stand Up to the Tyranny of the government.

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Renewing American Purpose (article)

Renewing American Purpose by Russell Vought

Statesmanship in a post-Constitutional moment

Whittaker Chambers once said that one of the most important cravings in the modern world is height. The ability to get up and see the lay of the land, above the various forces of history moving us when we don’t know we are being moved. This talk is an attempt to gain some constitutional height about where we are as citizens.

We are in a post constitutional moment in our country. Our constitutional institutions, understandings, and practices have all been transformed, over decades, away from the words on the paper into a new arrangement—a new regime if you will—that pays only lip service to the old Constitution. Our system is now much more like an unwritten constitution which operates based on precedents, like the English system. No constitutional amendments have been passed to enact this, but new legal paradigms have been introduced—a “living constitution,” independent agencies, permanent, “expert” civil servants—that have changed the underlying separation of powers at the core of our system.

How did this come to be? The Left at the turn of the nineteenth century were loud critics of the Constitution. Woodrow Wilson wanted an efficient, modern administrative state run by experts that could not be slowed by the Constitution’s separations of powers. He complained that the trouble with the theory of checks and balances, “is that government is not machine, but a living thing. . .. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other, as checks, and live.” But these complaints largely stopped during the historical developments of the twentieth century, and there is rarely any talk of a constitutional amendment on the Left. Why is that? Because the Left quietly adopted a strategy of institutional change that left the constitutional system of separate powers in place but radically perverted how they operated, their incentive structures, and their responsiveness to the American people.

The Left’s legal theorists adopted an approach to interpreting the Constitution based on it being a “living” document, meaning that its provisions should be understood to be malleable, keeping up with a modernizing nation. This was married with increased power assumed by courts, and the notion that nine supreme court justices would make all final decisions without any response from the other branches. Congress created so-called “independent agencies” such as the Federal Reserve or the SEC, meant to be independent from the direction of an elected president, but this principle impacted all the agencies, with career civil servants protected from at-will employment.
