The 14th Amendment: Federal Precedence Over the States
by Al Benson Jr.

Reviewing the 14th Amendment in a nutshell, one can see that it was intended to accomplish certain ends that were consistent with the Yankee-Marxist mindset and its revolutionary aims for the country after the shooting phase of the War of Northern Aggression was over. And let us not kid ourselves—that conflict is still ongoing. True, we have emerged from the shooting phase of that struggle and now we are smack in the middle of the cultural genocide phase. It was and is truly the ongoing Amerikan Revolution!
The United States played the part of Esau on a national scale. We traded our God-given birthright for a mess of moldy federal pottage and we did the exact same thing again when the country voted for its current Marxist-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, or whatever his real name is. So many alias’ for him have floated around we hardly know what to call him anymore. Like Esau, we now weep because we do not have God’s blessing. We don’t have that blessing now because in our apostasy we don’t deserve it. We deserve what we got—Lincoln and Obama—and unless we repent and turn around nationally there will be more Lincolns and Obamas.
Instead of having God’s blessings, we now labor under such socialist legislation as the 14th Amendment (and the Patriot Act, and “health care” reform).
What most do not realize, because they were “educated” in those brain laundries we refer to as public schools, is that the 14th Amendment redefined citizenship. Up until the War, a man was a citizen of the united States due to his being a citizen of his state of residence. A man was only a citizen of the united States due to his first being a citizen of Texas, or Ohio. His state citizenship gave him his status as a united States citizen
.
After the adoption of the 14th Amendment, a man became, foremost, a citizen of the united States, and his state citizenship was, to all intents and purposes, secondary or non-existent. It didn’t matter. This change was consistent with Northern revolutionary aims, and it opened the door for future federal intervention in the various states in more areas than the federal government had any legitimate business being in. Now the Feds tell us they can force everyone in every state to buy health care insurance and they will fine us or jail us if we don’t.
Were the states to exercise their proper governmental role, this would not be possible. Will they have the intestinal fortitude to do that—to really do it, or will they just pass meaningless wordy resolutions in an attempt to fool the voters into thinking that they tried? We will see.
Some have reflected that the adoption of the 14th Amendment (never legally ratified) opened the door to the adoption of the 17th Amendment—the direct election of senators by “popular” vote. You can almost, in overview, see an evolutionary process in this, whereby we first lose state citizenship, then national citizenship will go by the boards, until ultimately we become only “citizens of the world” under the domination of the Communist-controlled United Nations. What? You doubt the UN is Communist-controlled? Can anyone spell A-l-g-e-r H-i-s-s ? If you don’t know who he is look him up on the Internet.
In response to this questionably ratified amendment, both states and people need to start checking into something else that the “historians” have decided we didn’t need to know about—nullification. Look that one up on the Internet, too.
