Who's to Blame?

[Keith Broaders]

We the People of the United States are quick to criticize our state and federally elected officials and blame them for the current state of affairs. Unfortunately, it is "We the People" that are ultimately responsible.

John Adams once said "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other". Benjamin Franklin observed that "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become c...orrupt they have more need of masters".

As the legitimate rulers of the land, we the people have elected representatives that lack the moral character and virtue necessary to maintain our Constitutional Republic.

Sadly millions of Americans that lack an understanding of the principles of sound government elect candidates that are as morally bankrupt as they are. To restore America, the greatest thing that we can do as individuals is become familiar with what Thomas Jefferson referred to as the "Laws of Nature and Nature's God". Any law that violates Natural Law is repugnant to the Constitution and our Divine Creator.

We need to become morally clean as individuals before we can hope to restore our nation. In order to achieve this goal we have a responsibility to educate ourselves and our loved ones on the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility. A thorough understanding of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is the foundation necessary for the restoration of America.
