Brian, these are interwoven into the fabric of the Constitution. Unfortunately they are now out-of-balance. For instance, Article I defines legislative powers, Article II defines executive powers, Article III defines judicial powers and Article IV defines States’ powers; although this may oversimplify. Above all, “the will of the majority shall prevail.” Also note Amendment X reserves powers to the States, e.g. “establishment of religion” for instance. Checks and Balances include impeachment, veto and override of veto, recall, et.al.. Any of the 3 branches can interpret the Constitution and “it is plain that the supreme authority belongs to the Legislative and Executive branches, they cannot be re-examined elsewhere.” “Thus the Legislature makes the law, the Executive institutes its prosecutors against the infractors , the Judiciary decides on their guilt and pronounces judgement, and the Executive then again steps in and carries that judgement into execution.” “The practice of impeachment is a bridle in the hands of the Legislative body.” The legislature has the power to impeach justices who try to reinterpret the Constitution. Instead, we now live under the tyranny of a despotic oligarchy that Jefferson warned us about.

Perry, out of curiosity, can you tell me where “Separation of Powers”, or “Checks and balances” appear?

loboinok, unfortunately I have to self-educate. Once I learned some of the truth I became determined to educate others. I pressed others to join me and this resulted in co-founding a group called World View Awareness in Sikeston, Missouri. On Saturday March 3 for $5 anyone interested can spend all day with some excellent speakers (meal included). Joyce Morrison on immigration, private property rights & ACLU. John Stormer on our public education. Bill Federer on America’s heritage & the Constitution. There are others also. If interested, call 1-800-472-4674 or 1-573-472-9673 or 1-573-471-3700 or 1-573-471-7966.

Perry G Waltrip,

Excellent post!

If I were to speculate, I would say you are either an old-timer… or home schooled.

I am not surprised at what’s happening. Students in today’s schools are not taught the truth about the founding of our nation. The socialist-marxist-communists known as “liberals” know the “Communist Manifesto.” Every plan to take over a country is in force. They have taken over the education of our youth. Literally all of the founding fathers insisted that the Bible be used as a textbook to teach religion and morality. They knew that our Constitution was only good for a religious and moral people. The Declaration and the Constitution were founded on Biblical principals and the contents thereof parallel the Bible. When the Bible and prayer were removed from our schools, academic achievement declined while crime and social ills increased. Diversity will kill us! We must be united to remain a free nation. These are facts proven by history but few remember. If there are those that believe in “a wall of separation exists between church and state,” they should know that this statement appears only in one private letter from a single individual and is taken totally out of context. How can any honest person think that this overrides an entire government? Thomas Jefferson himself brought religion into his government affairs! The very same day the Congress approved the Bill of Rights they also called for a day of prayer and thanksgiving and even ordered the printing of 20,000 Bibles. These insane people hate Christianity and try to force another religion on us, atheistic humanistic paganism that destroys nations.

In addition to the placards, I would like to see the citizens of Rutherford County join together and purchase one of the huge new electronic color billboards and display the Ten Commandments in full living, moving, and breathtaking color right next to the courthouse if possible (on private land of course!). Some of these newer signs look like huge flat screen color televisions and come in sizes all the way up to that of the large billboards seen along main roads and the interstates. The full color, billboard sized displays are really impressive.

Additionally, I would like to see a nationwide campaign to encourage churches, religious organizations, businesses, and other groups or wealthy individuals to erect displays throughout the United States, especially along heavily traveled routes and in the larger cities.

If required to offset the purchase and operating cost, the owners could possibly sell some advertising time to the local churches, religious organizations, businesses, others who would like to sponsor or support the effort.

For those groups or individuals who do not have the money to purchase and operate the electronic color display signs, but who want to do their part, they could post the Ten Commandments on regular billboards and large signs. I’m sure there are many landowners around the country who would allow the billboards to be installed land without charge or rent.

I’m with Jimmy. I’m really not offended by the commandments. Hang them in my favorite restaurant if you want. As Camanintx pointed out, the religious symbolism is blatant and undisputed, so it’s just not right for the government to get involved.

BTW, I hope Mr. Sparks isn’t dumb enough to use public resources in his fundraising efforts.

Whatâ€™s so hard about that?

Nothing… if you can get everyone to take the same drugs you are obviously taking!

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

http://www.americanlegends.blogspot.com

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
Mark

The solution is simple really. All you have to do is get all major Christian and Jewish denominations to categorically state that the Ten Commandments are not an integral part of their religion and hold no more religious significance than the US Constitution. Then everyone would be free to hang them in any government office without fear of violating the establishment clause. What’s so hard about that?
