The COTUS is the will of the people. It was voted for by the people
You voted for it? You parents did? Your neighbor? Your cousin? Your teacher? The clerk at the grocery store? The child who was just born at the hospital 30 seconds ago?
Or you inherited it and were forced into the social contract already in place around you under pain of punishment up to and including death if you violated it, depending on what terms, exactly you were in violation of?
why do so many cons care about a pledge written by a socialist????
Who cares you its written by...I'm just saying it seems like the libs chokewhen they have to say "under God"
Every time someone mentions the Federalist, I wonder whether they realize that there were also the Anti-Federalist Papers

Why do you hate the Constitution?
Most adults realize that by accepting the benefits of living in our nation, one is bound to respect its' laws, limits, and civic responsibilities. Wingnuts dependant on govt welfare develop an entitlement complex and are the exception.
In practice, that's been fairly accurate.Every time someone mentions the Federalist, I wonder whether they realize that there were also the Anti-Federalist PapersCongress will be the only judges of the general welfare.

We're 'bound to respect it's laws'?
So we shoulda loved it or left it instead of changing it if we disapproved of slavery or approved of women's and minority suffrage?
Weren't the FF, by accepting the benefits of being British subjects , bound to obey it's laws- and yet... they were traitorous bastards.
That's a bogus quote, dude. There is no evidence that either Adams or Hancock ever said it.John Adams and John Hancock:
We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! [April 18, 1775]
Do you know what the "general principles of Christianity" were, according to John Adams? They're not what you think they are.John Adams:
The general principles upon which the Fathers achieved independence were the general principals of Christianity I will avow that I believed and now believe that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God.
[July 4th] ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
John Adams in a letter written to Abigail on the day the Declaration was approved by Congress
Moral religious people don't want the government advising them on their duty to trust, or not to trust, in God."We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." --October 11, 1798
The Convention rejected that argument and Franklin's motion for daily prayer. God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech
The General Convention of 1787 rejected the motion for daily prayer.we had daily prayers in this room
According to liberal Protestantism, God has gifted all men with freedom from civil authority over purely spiritual things. The thirty-seventh article of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States Book of Common Prayer declares that the civil magistrate hath no authority in things purely spiritual.
