Remove any one and may as well throw the rest in the trash!

They are rapidly removing one of the most important parts of the Bill of Rights, its preamble... How many of you know that the Bill of Rights has a preamble...? It is the enabling clause of the document, which ties it directly to the Constitution... Here it is...

"Effective December 15, 1791
Articles in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.

PREAMBLE
The conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution."

"One of the main purposes for the control and power of the
Establishment media is to keep the masses deceived and
ignorant about their rights and oppressions of their rights."
