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.

What guided us to that point:

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed…

What makes us stand out from tyranny:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

What makes us stand up to tyranny:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

What we have gotten away from:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

What Whoopi Goldberg needs to read about:

1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

And this one too:

1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

One that has gotten out of control and is being used to destroy what makes this nation great:

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Regardless of the various outcomes on November 4th, 2008, I still believe that common sense prevails in this country. No matter how obtuse the youngins in this country fall for the clap-trap that a centralized controlling government is best for them, they ultimately reject it.

For the people who believe that the government must provide for them, they are a tougher nut to crack. But they can be brought back from the brink.

On the morning of November 4th I will vote early, go to work and come home and watch the results as they unfold. In the end, whatever happens, will happen. If this is truly an historic election and the man who has been pre-ordained by the media wins, so be it. If the man who was the maverick the media adored until he won the nomination wins it, so be it.

This is what elections are all about, but what if there is a movement to change things or to tear what makes this country great after the election is over? Then we have a problem and lots of us who would like to wake up in the morning and look forward to great days instead get be beaten over the head with redistributing wealth (or future wealth) or punishing those who are sucessful are going to pushback against these hordes.

I hope the other side realizes this.
