Are you a Constitutionalist?

You Might Be A Constitutionalist If . . .
by Chuck Baldwin

I originally published this column back in January of 2005. Since then (and especially lately), many people have called and written with requests to republish it. So, with a few minor revisions, here it is.

More than thirty years as a student of American history, constitutional government, and the Holy Bible leads me to the conviction that the two major political parties in this country (at the national level) are equally culpable in stripping America of its founding principles. In my opinion, both the Democrat and Republican parties in Washington, D.C., have zero fidelity to the U.S. Constitution and zero respect for America's foundational precepts.

In my studied opinion, neither the Democrat nor Republican Party (at the national level) has any intention of slowing the out-of-control expansion of government. Neither party has demonstrated any loyalty to preserving and protecting our constitutional form of government.

Like National Socialists and Soviet Socialists of old, the only thing that concerns Democrats and Republicans today is who is in power. Both are equally willing to destroy the freedoms and liberties of people without conscience or regret as long as their party remains in control.

I am absolutely convinced that without a renewed allegiance to constitutional government and State sovereignty, there can be no resolution to America's current slide into socialism and oppression. Therefore, it is critical that we cast aside our infatuation with partisan politics and steadfastly stand firm for the principles of federalism and freedom, as did America's founders.

Might you be a modern-day Minuteman who understands the principles of freedom and federalism? I offer the following test. Read it and see if you, too, are a Constitutionalist. (Yes, Martha, this is another Jeff Foxworthy spin-off.)

[flintauqua]

So exactly how many can you disagree with and still be a Constitutionist?

[Anmar]

Guess again anmar.  35/36. 

Wow billy, so you are against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?

[Sarah]

I'm actually 36/36, though may be one or two I waver on, but for the most part am and am a member of the Constitution party, though I don't usually vote that way.  Here's their link:

So, I guess I beat all of you.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............34 out of 36....kinda iffy on two............

the religion ones?

I'm still trying to figure out how someone who is pro war got a perfect score.  Being in favor of the wars contradicts 3 or 4 of the questions.

[pamsback]

yeah other than guaranteeing EVERYBODY the right to practice.....think they should just stay out of it.

[Varmit]

No, I am not against the iraq or afghan wars.  As Commander-in-Chief the President has the authority to defend the nation and take military action without the consent of congress or a declaration of war.  Article 2 Section 2.
