The Constitution and Freedom

I know that Glenn Beck has a mission this year of educating his viewers and listeners on American History and the Constitution. I am beginning to think that perhaps it is a goal of Fox News to educate Americans on the history of this nation in an attempt to return the power to the people. Judge Andrew Napolitano is a Fox contributor and this week did a five part series on the Constitution. It is worth watching a couple times as it reminds you of what you may have learned long ago but forgotten.

We spent 10 days in Washington DC last year for much the same purpose. Educate ourselves on the United States of America and the history of this country. Remind yourself of the goals in the creation of this country as you watch our current government officials greatly accelerate the dismantling of individual freedoms and explicit goals and protections intended by our founders. Remind yourself of how many generations have felt so strongly about this nation and the principals upon which it is built that they were willing to die. They died just to insure their decedents had the same opportunities and freedoms they had been granted by the Constitution and the system of government that created a free people. They died to leave the country at least as good as they had received it, however this generation of politicians empowered by a very selfish and uneducated electorate is robbing from the future both money and individual freedoms that were the foundation of this free country.

This link is in 5 parts starting at the bottom and working up and each is probably 9 minutes. May need to watch some of this multiple times to absorb the entire meaning of our founders intent.
