Springfield- February 2, 2006 Following the cursory grand entrance and perfunctory bravado, President George W. Bush reported to the citizenry his State of the Union address. After declaring the state of the Union as “strong,” Bush gave us further observations and let us in on his administration’s plans. The Constitution Party of Missouri is left concluding that the only thing reflecting strength is the federal government’s insatiable appetite for regulation of U.S. citizens, economic debt, and world dominance. With the Bush administration accruing the highest debt of any U.S. presidency in history, the President promised more money for welfare schools, AIDS at home and abroad, the winless military conflict in Iraq (~ $1 billion/day), “the oppressed,” medical care/research, etc. To top it off, the President vowed to “end tyranny in the world” while calling for the renewal of the Patriot Act. Catching our collected breath, let’s briefly examine these issues and their implications. Each of the President’s goals lacks not the votes from the two-headed one party system in D.C. What is lacking here is fidelity to the U.S. Constitution with its delegated and enumerated powers, to which every elected official in Washington has sworn to protect and defend. None of these acts, not to mention multitudinous others, find any ground or authority in the Constitution. Thus, truly patriotic Americans are left with a runaway federal government accountable to no fixed standard, only the wanton desires of office holders and their groping constituencies. Sadly, too many Americans love plunder and its pork, and devote themselves to “my government, right or wrong.” They covet their welfare schools, and most other ill-gotten gain from their benevolent “servants” in D.C.; that is statism. The vast majority of Christians are quite satisfied with W the celebrity who declares Islam a “noble race,” one that worships the same god as they according to the all wise President; that is polytheism and blasphemy. While the President is saddling up to ride into the sunset on his conquest to end tyranny in the world, let us remember that he and Congress continue to fund abortion on demand, more socialized medicine, leave our borders porous, send jobs to foreign lands, give more power to unelected foreign bureaucrats, give us irredeemable currency and inestimable debt, and a future that is deservedly bleak. The Constitution Party of Missouri calls on all Christians to pray for President Bush and Congress, but have none of their revolution. Moreover, we call on all Americans to reject pragmatism, “compassionate conservatism”, democracy as a panacea, and all other wayward notions. As our first President declared, “Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair, the event is in the hand of God.”
