The Constitution is Not What You Think

[Keith Broaders]

I think most everyone will agree that slavery is immoral. The fact that our wonderful Founding Fathers wrote a Constitution that allowed the financial elite to own other human beings reveals that it was an instrument that sanctioned this diabolical institution.

For many years I have considered the Constitution to be a document inspired by the Creator. I have finally seen through all of the smoke and mirrors and realized that was a document written by a bunch or rich white men to guarantee that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was only rights reserved for themselves and other rich white men.

The idea that the Constitution was written to free the people from the bondage is simply not true. The assertion in the Declaration of Independence that all men were created equal only did not apply in the government created by the Constitution. If you were a woman, a slave or an indigenous person your rights did not exist.

In the Declaration of Independence it was affirmed that we were endowed by our Creator with a set of unalienable rights which included the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our founders considered the right to own and dispose of property as one of our most fundamental rights.

If the framers of the Constitution believed that taxation was morally wrong before the revolution how did taxation suddenly become morally acceptable after the war.

How the Constitution dealt with slavery and taxation reveal that the Constitution contains some rather humongous flaws. If you have a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that contains garlic and horse manure the cookies are not likely to taste very good.

In my opinion the Constitution was an idea presented to the rich white men in America by the London Bankers who wanted a new government that had the power to tax the people in order to pay off the nation's creditors.

I would really appreciate comments about this rather provocative post.

A house that is build on a shaky foundation will not endure. Likewise a nation built on the premise that only rich white men had rights and that everyone else did not would not survive the test of time. Unethical men, wrote an unethical document and protected the rights of unethical rich white men to own other human beings.
