I know the election’s momentum is gone, however, if your ideas on politics are in a state of stasis, perhaps this will stir your political deprivation. In the past I have written rather sternly about why I think it would be a consistent decision for Christians to abandon the Republican Party and join the Constitution Party. So, for some of you who have never heard of the Constitution Party or have and are interested in learning about it, here are 30 propositions that may determine if you are a Constitutionalist. If you agree with all of them and still desire to remain in your party of choice, then at least you share the same principles we do.
This list is compiled from Chuck Baldwin.
1. You might be a Constitutionalist if you believe that elected
leaders should really obey the U.S. Constitution.
2. You might be a Constitutionalist if you believe that before
the United States invades and occupies another country,
Congress must first declare war.
3. You might be a Constitutionalist if you believe the federal
government should live within its means, like everyone else
is forced to do.
4. You might be a Constitutionalist if you think that taking
away people’s liberties in the name of security is neither
patriotic nor does it make the country more secure.
5. You might be a Constitutionalist if you would like to see
politicians be forced to abide by the same laws they make
everyone else submit to.
6. You might be a Constitutionalist if you understand that we
have three coequal branches of government that are
supposed to hold each other in check and balance.
7. You might be a Constitutionalist if you believe that the
federal government has no authority to be involved in
education or law enforcement.

control laws do nothing but aid and abet criminals while
trampling the rights and freedoms of law abiding citizens.
9. You might be a Constitutionalist if you believe that the
income tax is both unconstitutional and immoral and, along
with the I.R.S., should be abolished.

government had no authority to tell Alabama Chief Justice
Roy Moore that he could not display a monument
containing the Ten Commandments in the Alabama
Judicial Building in Montgomery.

Congress nor the White House nor any sovereign state is
required to submit to unconstitutional Supreme Court
rulings such as the Roe v Wade decision.

freedom has nothing in common with illegal immigration.

America.

Scouts are not a threat to America.

agents who murder American citizens should be held to the
same laws and punishments that any other citizen would be
held to.

independence.

the job of government to protect and secure God-given
rights not use its power to take those rights away.
