    About this ebook

    "We live in an age of relativism. Miller, a Stanford grad, class of 47, in English, asserts that he is an absolutist. That is, he has convictions. One of his convictions is that literature traces, depicts, illuminates and expounds human nature and circumstances with a profound wisdom unique to the author, not to the State. Creative literature brings to life what other men pass over as irrelevant to life. Miller is a veteran of WWII, holds a doctorate cum laud in English, and never afraid to try a new adventure. His is the pioneer spirit. e.g. new lands, more spaces, exciting opportunities, freedom. His stories reflect these qualities of character. When political correctness based on feelings and culture, it should be a relief to meet an author who deplores the lack of a will to discern truth compared to State- generated man made suppositions. Example: We cannot all possibly be equal. The latter has produced the curse of political-correctness. What has that to do with these brief narratives based on contemporary situations?
    Just this: We see the latter all around us. Not so, these critiques. Intentionally of a DC culture of lies and deceptions."

      HOW THE SOCIALISTS WILL DESTROY THE BILL OF RIGHTS

      Citizen:

      From THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—that to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles and organizing its Powers in such Form as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness . . . . That second paragraph is of utmost importance in the interpretation of the US Constitution.

      First: Rights are an endowment by our Creator, not an enactment by the State

      Second: they are inalienable; therefore they cannot be taken away by the State.

      Third: the phrase among these: indicates that there are more than Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

      Fourth: Those additional rights are contained in the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution, adopted and passed and signed at the same time as the first VII articles of the Constitution. They are known as The Bill of Rights. They are intended to protect the people from the possible dangers of a tyrannical government. Any tyranny, present or future, will attempt to remove those inalienable, God-given rights that block attempts by tyrants to gain power over the people, like a king.

      Fifth: Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed, that means from the consent of the people, not from fiats or regulatory laws or vendettas or political policies of the governing powers directed against the will of the people.

      Our founders were pragmatists. The Bill of Rights is a pragmatic document that protects the people from oppressive government. An oppressive government ignores the will of the people as the source of its power and direction . . . Any government constituted of self-willed demagogues is an oppressive government and, by the authority of this document and the instruments of voting and voting obligation the people are authorized to change that government to one that supports their will and the ends of their freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

      # Among these means that there are other inalienable rights other than Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

      # Certain means they are specific as described in the Bill of Rights

      # Those inalienable rights, the among these rights and the certain rights, are set forth in the Bill of Rights. Don’t take the Founding Fathers for fools.. Their Bill of Rights bore a specific and enumerated connection to their Declaration of Independence. They are given by God to suffering mankind. They cannot be altered or removed by the Congress or by the Supreme Court, or for that; matter, by any Lower Court or individual citizen.. When and if that proactive firewall: is breeched, the State then resorts to anarchy, the self-will of demagogues who lust for power, and the attribution to the people of irrelevance at law and dependants in entitlements. This shift of the basis of power from the people to the government is tyrannical. In a free society, it comes about by slow accretions of power to the demagogue tyrants and unnoticed loss of power by the people. This transference of power depends on the silence of the media—the voice of opposition.

      AMENDMENT 1—Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of their grievances.

      A right is to be distinguished from a privilege. A RIGHT is an endowed by God, not by the State . . . as endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Subjection of the people by a tyrant is not conducive to happiness, and certainly not to the preservation of life and liberty.

      INALIENABLE means they cannot be taken
