What exactly is the United States Constitution? Well, I say it’s the people’s warrantee. I say it’s the people’s guarantee of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.


Let’s say we buy a new car. They all have warrantees/guarantees that go with them. Most have a 100% warrantee on the drive train, (engine, transmission and rear end.) Let’s say the transmission squats long before the warrantee runs out. We go to the dealer, (the guarantor), and say we want it fixed free of charge to our self. The guarantor says, "wait a minute," "the 100% guarantee on the drive train doesn’t really mean the transmission. It only really means particular parts for the transmission and those are not the parts your transmission needs. Furthermore we really meant to mean the guarantee covered those parts and didn’t really mean it covered all of the labor cost. If fixing it takes longer than we think it should, you’ll have to pay the extra cost." We reread our warrantee and none of what the guarantor is saying to us is actually in the written text of the warrantee/guarantee. Would we stand for such a bleeping scam? Would we let them get away with it?


That’s exactly what happens when the right or the left try to make the absurd argument that just because something isn’t in the text of the Constitution, it was really meant to be there or because any correct definition of particular words in the Constitution don’t really mean what the dictionaries say they mean. And they tell us that the only reason something is in the Constitution is because it was "intended" for a single purpose and other purposes are exempted, even though no such text of exemption exist in the Constitution. Or they say even though no text exist in a particular article or amendment to the Constitution to establish their particular claim for something they wish was in it, it’s really supposed to be there and it’s just common sense to know that.


Well folks, When politicians and political talking heads tell you what the Constitution really says, pick up your copy and check em out. You’ll very, very often find out they’re just used car salesmen selling you a junk transmission.

It's pretty much explained in the Declaration:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

It was a contract among the people represented by their states at that time.
