Not applicable to Obamas action huh? Well why dont we just take a look at his actions and see just some of the many examples where he has been "unconstitutional" shall we?
Some of the tactics President Obama is using to subvert the Constitution and "transform" America:
The Czars: How Obama is creating a "shadow government" by appointing dozens of powerful executive officials, many of them radicals, that are not Senate confirmed, are outside congressional oversight, and report only to him.
The Courts: How Obama is packing the courts with judges who share his far left vision of the Constitution and is also working to expand the lower courts to pack them with dozens of new judges who would dominate the courts for a generation.
Executive orders: The sweeping changes in law Obama is enacting through administrative rulemaking and executive orders, end running the legislative process.
Domestic army: What Obama, his Chief of Staff, and the First Lady have said about his plans to create a civilian security force as large and well funded as the U.S. military and which would answer to Obama alone.
Healthcare: How the bill is just the first step in Obama's plan to take over the entire American healthcare system.
Cap and Trade: How Obama is pushing for a job killing carbon emission control system to give the government enormous power over the entire economy.
Stimulus: How Obama is using stimulus bills to engage in massive wealth redistribution and permanently grow government with new taxpayer funded programs.
Taxes: How Obama is shifting the tax burden to less than half of the population, so that a majority of voters has nothing to lose by supporting higher taxes on the rest.
Elections: How Obama wants to grant citizenship to every illegal alien in the United States, making them all voters with the expectation that they will vote for bigger government, paid for by higher taxes on others.
Card check: How Obama wants to abolish secret ballots in businesses voting on whether to unionize. Opening the door to massive intimidation to enormously increase the size of labor unions in America.
Guns: How Obama wants to radically restrict gun ownership in the United States.

If our founding fathers were placed in the circumstances today, I gurrantee it would be much more different. It should no longer simply be the foundation of our government simply because we cannot support the type of government it wants to support. It wanted representative democracy, which, we no longer are. We have evolved into a republic, and we Americans are too proud and naive to see that our constuition should adhear to that.
This by far is a very incorrect statement. This country was not founded as a democracy. In fact many of our founding fathers believed democracy to be the type of government that should never be used. This country was founded as a constitutional republic. That is exactly what our constitution provides. The problem is that our government has moved closer to democracy and that is why the constitution is so improtant. That document is the only thing that seperates liberty from tyranny. Now under the Obama administration we are inching ever closer to socialism. This is even more unacceptable because that means taking away our rights given to us by the constitution. So do I say we need to strictly adhere to the constitution and its core values? HELL YES!!!! I will sooner die free than live under tyranny.
