in the world i'm aware of that has such veneration of its national constitution, and it's also interesting to compare the united states constitution with the 50 state constitutions. that most americans really aren't aware that they live under a state constitution as well as the national constitution. and except maybe in massachusetts because john adams drafted the 1780 massachusetts constitution, and it is, in fact, the oldest constitution in the united states. but otherwise there's no sense of veneration or faith in state constitutions. most states have had around three constitutions. georgia and louisiana have had 21 constitutions between the two of them. and there's a much more instrumental what is the constitution -- what has the constitution done for us lately view at the states. they're amended all the time. some people use that as a criticism of state constitutions. i actually think that might be a strength. the united states constitution partly because it is the most difficult to amend constitution in the entire world and partly because of of this degree of veneration has been amended extraordinarily rarely. i mean, if you put the bill of rights to one side because that's re

lot to just doing that because the fact is what we are going to argue is that american exceptionalism, the american declaration of independence, the american constitution, the american federalist papers, the founding fathers of america are the source from which we draw our understanding of america, he draws his from radical left wingers and people who don't like the classical american. and one of the issues, one of the issues we are going to address head on. she would be a great first lady and with your help she will be a great first lady. one of the key issues and i'm prepared to take this straight at the president and frankly straight at the elite media. one of the key issues is the growing antireligion bigotry of your elite. -- of our elite. and if you get a chance, if you go to newt.org my campaign site there is a 54-page paper there on the balance of power putting the judiciary back in its proper role and eliminating dictatorial religion bigots such as judge berry in san antonio who issued a ruling that if the students not only could the stew you dents not -- students not pray at their graduation. if they used the word benediction, the word invoka

the fact is, what we will argue is that american exceptional was some, the american constitution, thelist papers, the founding fathers of america are the source from which we draw our understanding of america. he draws his from saul lewinsky, radical left wingers, and people who do not like the practical america.

to turn with me to rahman's 3:23, and romans is basically what we call the constitution of our faith. this is just like the american constitution is the constitution of our nation. it lays out what this nation is about and what this nation will accomplish, and the book of rahman's -- romans says the same thing, 3:23. romans 3:23, this tells us something about ourselves. it says "this righteousness' from god comes from faith in jesus christ to all who believe in jesus christ, godson." there is no difference, for all have sinned, all. who is all prove that is every person. remember, going back to genesis 1, he created heaven and earth, and that means that he created everything in it, all of mankind, so in roomans 3:23, when it talks about "all," it is all of mankind. all have sinned. who in this room is good? no one wants to go in that column? maybe after last night, no one wants to admit it. all have sinned. everyone has since. everyone, this book says, falls short of the glory of god. now think of it. god has glory, and he wants to put his glory on his creation. what are we? we are his creation. how do we know that

and they are promoting things that do not comport with american values or american law or the american constitution. and why do we actively give legitimacy to things that work to promote values in the world that are different than ours? it makes no sense to me. to do so just because we want to open up relationships -- there are all sorts of other ways to have relationships with other countries as opposed to do it through organizations who are working against our country. systematically decide whether we will keep their relationship or end the relationship, defund it, and narrow hours for dissipation. maybe that will send a message because the menu will the be flowing as it has in the past. maybe that will send a message that we need an international body that reflects international human rights that the united nations clearly does not.

he writes or rewrites the american constitution at one point to give full rights not only to blacks,but to women, and he goes to canada to hold a constitutional convention among blacks in canada, many of them fugitive slaves. and during this convention they nominate positions for legislature and president, and they nominate a black man for president. so any of you who voted for obama and felt very progressive in doing so, john brown would say you were 150 years late to the party. [laughter] so he really is extraordinary in that way, and black men fight alongside him and write about how there was no hint of prejudice or condescension in brown's band. i think he was really true to his beliefs. i think your second question was response going around talking? um, the only negative concern you know, what's interesting, brown's a very polarizing figure, obviously, and raises all these very raw issues that are still with us, race, religious fundamentalism, violence, terrorism, the right of individuals to, you know, oppose their government, do ends ever justify the means. and what's interesti

. >> some people don't appear to understand the american constitution. if you're in england and you're a candidate, you're the leader of a party and your party wins the majority on elecon day, the next day you're kissing the queen's hand and prime minister and you're in chge of the whole government. in america that's deliberately not what the founding fathers said. at any given moment in america we are governed by the last three elections, not one election. have united states senators elected in 2006, we have united states senators and the president elected in 2008 and we have united states senators and the house of representatives elected in 2010. what happened was tt that the public more than at any other time in american history made a drastic shift in their views they elected decisively the democrats in 2008 and then shifted-- at least the peopl who voted-- shifted in 2010. so what you have are t incompatible groups of people in office. so the paralysis is not a case of personality. it's not a case ofechacs, it ishat's the way the american system work

i think it tells you how little president obama understands about the american constitution, the americanystem, and the process of governing. what you need is the opposite. you need a president who says how do i get us to work together? you need somebody who says, gee, this has been a mess. why don't we sit down and as a new year's resolution -- i'd of felt better if he invited all 535 house and senate members to come down to the white house for a couple of days and chat. no negotiations, just can we find some common ground? could we do something together? i was asked a while ago, how would i start to break it up? senators webb and warner have a bill that would allow development of oil and gas offshore in virginia. they're both democrats. it's a bill i agree with. i would urge the house republicans to pass their bill exactly as it is. send a democratic bill to the senate on behalf of more american energy, more american jobs, more revenue for the federal government and challenge senator reid and president obama to stop a democratic bill that has bipartisan support. i would look for excuses

executive director of the asian-american action fund, a national organization dedicated to getting more asian-americans involved in the civic and political process. asian-americans constitute one- third of the city's residents over here. i'm here to speak in favor of item five and against no. 4. i am an election lawyer. i drafted the brief that defended ranked-choice voting in federal court. ranked-choice voting has been good for the city including asian-americans. before ranked-choice voting, we used to have december runoff elections were no one would show up to vote. 30% or 40% in november would not show up in december. in the asian-american community side, there are two candidates for a few who finished first in november but lost in the december election. ranked-choice voting allows voters to cast and select a consensus winner in the one election, not t garrido. after ranked-choice voting was introduced, representation of asian-americans in the order of supervisors here as well as citywide offices went up from three to seven. age at of 11 seats -- eight out of 11 seats is representative -- represented by minorities. it is easy to use. you write your traces. the error ra

the difference. one final point. there was another constitution adopted at the same time of our constitution -- relatively the same time. that was the french constitution. another revolution that occurred. it was modeled after the american revolution. there was a difference. i think it went through -- what? 20 different constitutions? it was a document with radical freedom. but they did not have a declaration of finance like ours. -- a declaration of independence like ours. there is liberty and brotherhood, but no fathered. no rights from god that the government had to respect. they just believe that power should go to those who control. what did they do if they did not have rights and respect for each and everyone of you? they trampled you. it was the tyranny of the majority. we are a country that is going away, as we are, from those god- given rights that are the foundation of limited government. we are a country that is on our way to france. ok, let's get some young people. a young person right there. before you answer, how many more questions to we have? ok.

come to her aid the media congress bar associations law schools and the american public failed to come to the defense of the constitution now there dr roberts is talking about obama's policies such as targeting americans for assassination without due process but back to kitty genovese see the case and her death is often cited as an example of the bystander effect so what exactly is this is otherwise known as fittingly the genovese syndrome and it is a slow social psychological phenomenon that refers to cases where individuals do not offer any means of help in an emergency situation to the victim when other people are present so the question now are we seeing the bystander effect in the political process electing candidates republican and democrat perpetuating the same policies the american people going along with it providing legitimacy to policies that benefit america's elites policies that dr craig roberts was just talking about back to murder according to media reports thirty eight witnesses watched and failed to intervene the murderer fled the scene after getting the attention of a neighbor then actually went back t

the constitution, as if it were written by god. how could this have happened? because it was so at odds with his experience and that of other americans in 1787 and 1788. in that period of the constitution was attacked rigorously. it was under fire. let me give you a couple extreme examples to make my point. there was the newspaper writer who in october 1787 said the constitution was the work of wealthy and ambitious spirit, conspirators. and nothing less than, and i quote, ladies and gentlemen, the most daring attempt to establish a despotic aristocracy, and the freemen of the world ever witnessed. and then on july 4, 1788, a group of anti-federalists in albany did what i suppose would be to us unthinkable. they celebrated the fourth of july by ceremonially burning a copy of the constitution along with the news of virginia's ratification. not as william lloyd garrison would later do because it was packed with slavery and a further continuation of slavery, but because to these men it undermined everything for which they had fought in the american revolution. and so it was a very appropriate thing to do on the fourth of july, burned th

senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said the "president has arrogantly circumvented the american people." the constitutionws for recess appointments, article two, section two says presidential power to fill up vacancy an czys that may happen during the recess of the senate by granting commissions which will expire the end of the next session. also keeping them honest, president obama exercised his power fewer times than other recent presidents, democrat or republican, at similar points in their presidencies. the white house complains they've been facing more delays. >> president obama currently has a total of 181 nominees pending before the senate. they've been pending for an average of 165 days. we've had an unprecedented level of obstruction when it comes to the confirmation, often confirmation routine pintment as ennominations. >> keeping them honest, though, the white house this white house did something different this time around. when the president nominated richard cordray, the senate wasn't totally utterly completely in recess. it looked like this. a few senators show up. someone bangs the gavel.

the scripture is what we call the constitution of our faith. it is the constitution, just like the american constitution is a constitution of our nation, it lays out for us what this nation is about and what this nation will accomplish. the book of romance does the same thing in the word of god. it rose -- it lays out for us what our faith is about. turn to 23. this tells us something about ourselves. it says, this righteousness from god comes through faith in jesus christ to all who believe in jesus christ. there is no difference, for all have sinned. that is every person. remember, going back to genesis i, that was the creator. he created heaven and earth, but that means that he created everything in the earth, as well. that is all of us. all of mankind. when we talk about all, that is all of mankind. let us go back to that. there is the difference, for all have since. let me ask you, who in the service could? no one wants to go in that column? no one wants to admit it. after last night. all have sinned. everyone. everyone falls short of the glory of god. think of that. god has glory and

your primary will be the key, if i'm nominated by the republican party and i become but president, i will point constitutional judges who believe in americane are endowed by our creators. they believe that the constitution is a contract and their jobs are limited to interpreting the law, not rewriting it. i would seek people like that. you cannot just rely on that. if you look at the history of the united states, starting with the revolutionary war,the number two complete of the american resolute -- revolutionaries was against activists who they regarded as dictators. the number one complaint was no taxation without representation. they set out, and the constitution, to limit the judiciary. they created three equal branches. the first branch, which you belong to, is the legislative branch, the largest and closest to the people. the second is the executive, the president. the third and least powerful is the judiciary. this was all set in 1958 by the court that asserted that the supreme court was the last word on the constitution. that is factually false. the supreme court is one of three interpreters of the constitution. the other two are c

the united nations does, they are run by countries, groups of countries whose values are not our values. and they are promoting things that do not comport with american values or american law or the american constitution. why we actively participate and give legitimacy to things that work to provide values in the world that are different than ours makes no sense to me. to do so just because we want to open up relationships, there are all sorts of other ways to open up and have relationships with other countries, as opposed to using organizations that are posed for country. i would go through the process, looking at every one of these different un agencies and bodies, and systematically decide whether we are going to keep that relationship or and our relationship, de-fund it, and narrow our participation. maybe that will send a message because the money will not be flowing as it has in the past, but that will send a message we need an international body that reflects basic international and human rights, which the united nations does not. [applause] >> senator santorum, thank you very much. we are nearing the end of our time here. as we did for speaker gingrich, i'd like to give you five minutes or so

the american people to have a serious philosophical discussion about to we are. he is a disciple -- i believe in the declaration of independence. the constitution. rific. i believe in american exceptionalism. we are just people, but we have inherited from the founding fathers, an understanding of self-government, which is exceptional. it has enabled people to come from anywhere on the planet and learn to be american in a way that no other society can do. it starts with the opening phrase, we hold these truths to be self evident. there were not offering an ideology, they were trying to understand the truth about how humans can live together. all men are created equal. it was flawed and execution. we had slavery, women had a secondary role. we spent 200 years working to make the ideal of normal. it was the right ideal. at a time when you had kings and queens and emperors. they go on to say, this is the heart of the american experience, the number-one issue that we have to win in the next year, we are in doubt by our creator with certain unalienable rights. this is at the heart of the american experience. got endows each one of you personally with s
