Roundup Record Tribune & Winnett Times -

Have you ever been to the National Archives Building on Constitution Ave. in D.C.? There one can view original copies of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution, along with other documents significant to our origin as a country.

Are you aware of the fortress-like protection afforded our foundation documents? A dozen hostile tanks couldn’t defeat the defenses of that building, and in a time of threat the Declaration and Constitution retract into an underground vault so deep as to keep them intact from any sort of explosion known.

Q: Why do you suppose such vigorous means are employed to safeguard these sheets of paper?

A: Because they define our country. They tell what it was designed to be and how it was intended to operate, not in ignorance of changing times, of course, for the geniuses that created the structure of government incorporated into it lawful, sensible methods for adjustment.

To me, consequently, any person or organization that attacks the substance of those documents is inimical to the United States and is its categorical enemy.

Conspicuous examples of internal attacks on the concepts and freedoms guaranteed by these documents abound, and the source of every one is an individual or individuals prominent in some level of the Democrat party, the leadership and direction of which has been usurped or finessed by bona fide enemies of the United States. Consider mayors’ watching, if not encouraging, arsonists and looters to burn and plunder their cities; small businessmen and -women fined and prosecuted in violation of First Amendment rights on account of refusing to service homosexual unions erroneously described as “marriages;” continuing efforts, despite the Supreme Court’s patent declaration on the topic, to infringe upon our right to bear arms; military servicemen’s courts martial for displaying Bible quotations at their work places.

I’m not speaking of questions about paying our U.N. assessments, of farm subsidies, or of the amount of CO2 in the air, though these are important, too, but of the very foundation of the nation; for example, these assaults on freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, and if you don’t think the First Amendment is under attack, investigate a little deeper than what you heard from the New York Times, Washington Post, or CNN.

Don’t vote for your own ruination and downfall. You might awaken one morning to find a couple of new National Parks but no Bill of Rights.

Sincerely,

Larry Stanfel
