Perhaps we will all have to post a copy of the Constitution at each of our home's entry sites to remind our LEO brethren just what they swore to "defend and protect".

Yep.


I keep a pocket sized copy (I got two free form the Heritage Foundation) hand at most all times. I have actually, on several occasions, pulled it out and asked someone to "show me where it says" whatever they may be blowing gas about. Works every time.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

I had one of those but left it at my Father-in-laws last year.  I do have a copy on my phone though  ;D

For Independence Day I read the Declaration of Independence before we ate, probably haven't read it all the way through in 10-15 years.  Those that paid attention were struck by some of the reasons given and how close they were to what we are experiencing today.  :'(

Yeah...and now the Declaration is viewed by many in education as more of a subversive document than a unique Declaration of the natural rights of The People and their separation from tyranny.

No doubt tyrants would view it as a subversive document to be crushed, ridiculed and destroyed.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Seems like the 10th may have been the first to be bitch slapped over the couch.
Not even most of us take that one seriously, as far as optimistic expectations go, seems like..  :(
I guess it'll take the most digging to get back to, though I do think it would be quicker to rediscover the Constitution by going forward.. (New Party, new Country..)
With friends like these, who needs hallucinations!..
