Are you familiar with the term "Lip service is no service"? That is the Bill of Rights. That also describes your post.And what does a "Bill of Rights" do? Nothing. The Bill of Rights (first 10 Articles/Amendments of the CONstitution) is all smoke and mirrors. First off, you have no rights, you have privileges. Rights cannot exist when you have governments that can deprive you of them, manipulate their meanings or ignore them. All governments do all three.Totally stupid of course, as if toilet paper has a Bill of RightsWorthless compared to toilet paper.
Here is an example:
The 5th Amendment originally, in part, read, “life, liberty, and property.” It now reads, "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
See the difference? If you own property it is sovereign land and cannot be taxed or trespassed upon. If you "own" any real estate, look at the deed to it. You are listed as "tenant". A tenant is a renter. Who do you rent this property from? Its real owner, the government via taxes. Doubt that? Don't pay the taxes and see how quickly the real owner evicts you.
Why "pursuit of happiness"? Because it is so vague it can be interpreted to mean whatever the courts and the rest of government wants it to. Your opinion on what it means means nothing.
I could go through the entire Bill of Rights and show you how they do not protect you. Your government has had more than 200 years to manipulate your "rights", are you really so naive as to believe they are honest people who would manipulate them in your favor?
Wrong. The Bill of Rights explicitly controls what the government can do to you, the individual. It then makes it possible, when the government gets too big for it's britches for people to have the means to rise up and remove that illegitimate government. It is because of the Bill of Rights that this country is not already a socialist hell hole. The People have been asleep at the wheel of government for far too long. And they are now beginning to wake up.
Your assertions are wrong.
The Bill of Rights is a piece of paper (that no living human being ever agreed to, btw) that has no power. It cannot rise up and stop, start or take part in anything. Nothing. The only way it could have any illusion of power would be for the people to rise up and be its power. And people are not going to do that.
People ARE doing that. That is the point. The MSM is at war with the People. The political class is at war with the PEOPLE. Were it not for the constraints of that "useless" piece of paper, that war would be long over and we the People would be fully enslaved. The fact that we're not is a testament to the power of that "worthless" piece of paper.
