Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War!
The Real State of the Union
by R. CORT KIRKWOOD
AgapePress
President Bush was supposed to have given us the "state of
the union" the other night, but instead he delivered a
vision of world utopia, with the United States vanquishing
evil everywhere.
And he unbosomed himself of the usual cliched political
rhetoric. "Leave no child behind," he said to the scripted
applause of the political elite before him.
So here's an abridged state of the union:
UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT
Most of the federal government is unconstitutional.
Thousands of bureaucrats toil in hundreds of agencies that
trespass the strictly proscribed list of duties with which
the federal government was entrusted.
Here's a random, short list of the unconstitutional agencies
that must be abolished: The Departments of Education,
Commerce, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban
Development, along with the Small Business Administration,
the National Endowments for the Humanities and Arts, the
Bureau of Indian Affair and the U.S. Commission on Civil
Rights.
And many constitutionally permissible agencies flatly
violate the Constitution as well. Chief among them are the
Congress, president and U.S. Supreme Court themselves.
Congress and the president spend most of their time creating
unconstitutional government and using other constitutionally
permissible agencies, particularly the armed forces, for
unconstitutional acts. Making undeclared war in foreign
countries is but one example.
For its part, the Supreme Court frequently overturns
legitimate state laws that violate the Constitution only
because of court precedents that also are unconstitutional.
Abortion laws are the best example.
In 1973, the high court overturned abortion laws in 50
states and the U.S. territories, perhaps the most
avaricious, frightening grab for power in its history. Since
then, regulating abortion in any way has been nearly
impossible.
Congress, the president and the Supreme Court have also
gutted the Tenth Amendment, which reserves for the states
any powers the Constitution does not give the federal
government.
TAXING POWER
The income tax, augmented by withholding, made this
unconstitutional government possible. Without the authority
to reach directly into the pocket of the American citizen,
Congress could not pay for it.
So dismantling the bureaucracy isn't enough. We must also
take away the instrument used to erect it. The income tax
must be abolished.
As anti-tax activists observe, Americans work full time
about five months a year to pay taxes for all levels
government. They slog away under the muzzle of the
unconstitutional bureaucracy's cocked revolver, the Internal
Revenue Service. That isn't freedom; it's slavery.
OUR MORAL CLIMATE
But we face a more vexing problem that will not be solved
with legislative tinkering: the culture war.
We profess to respect life, but murder the unborn. We
profess to respect the family, but we permit "no-fault"
divorce. We spend tax money on condoms and birth control
pills, then wonder why teenagers are rutting like insensate
animals.
We even permit the degrading, barbaric practices of in vitro
fertilization and "surrogate motherhood."
Meanwhile, the liberal media and its allies in public
schools, universities and the entertainment industry wage
unremitting war on the Christian principles that undergird
our laws. Art, music and theater offer a nauseating cascade
of filth that defame and degrade traditional religion,
culture and morals and historical figures.
THE REAL AXIS OF EVIL
The president didn't want you to hear all that, so he
disgorged some nationalist propaganda, rattling his saber
over the "axis of evil."
Well, the real "axis of evil," the real enemies of American
freedom, are not on the other side of the planet. They are
here: the federal bureaucracy, the politicians who created
it and the destroyers of our culture.
That's the state of our union.
