[From article]
Cicero believed that the Roman Senate should be composed of men who were "virtuous and wise -- in other words the 'best men' of the Republic." Cicero was a proponent of natural law and it was these natural laws that would secure "men's individual rights” so many years later as the Founders established a new nation. Consequently, the Constitution " bound both individuals and their representatives in government to a moral code which did not permit either to take the earnings of another without his consent. Under this code, individuals could not band together and do, through government's coercive power, that which was not lawful between individuals."
Natural law is "the ultimate source of Constitutional Law." Consequently, the Founders "did not establish the Constitution for the purpose of granting rights. Rather, they established this government of laws (not a government of men) in order to secure each person's Creator-endowed rights to life, liberty, and property."

We now know that Obama recently met with men who call for the destruction of the United States. In fact, there is no pretense anymore as Obama maintains that one of his duties is to protect and defend Islam while serving in the White House. In fact, he has stated that he "considers it part of [his] responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
[. . .]
All the elements underlying the American political system were thus rejected by Muslims before the USA had even been created. One has to wonder why this barely registers with this President of the United States.
[. . .]
And we, the people, are still waiting for Congress to take firm action that is not only legal but very warranted as Obama continues to break the law regarding Obamacare and immigration. Moreover, it is becoming clearer that Obama will secure the economic defeat of the United States (a jihadist promise come true) as our debt spirals completely out of control. Obama tightens the noose around business owners with intimidation and regulations. The national debt now stands at $18 trillion.
[. . .]
Instead, Obama casts aspersions on Christians and Jews. He is a pathological liar intent only on maintaining power and control. Be it his stance on gay marriage or his outright prevarications about Obamacare, his is a forked tongue. Clearly his disingenuousness and callous disregard are constantly evident in his ongoing doublespeak.
