Carrie Underwood – The Champion ft. Ludacris

They say that every champion is all about his principles

A quote from Alexander Hamilton: If it were to be asked, What is the most sacred duty and the greatest source of security in a Republic? the answer would be, An inviolable respect for the Constitution and Laws—the first growing out of the last. It is by this, in a great degree, that the rich and powerful are to be restrained from enterprises against the common liberty—operated upon by the influence of a general sentiment, by their interest in the principle, and by the obstacles which the habit it produces erects against innovation and encroachment. It is by this, in a still greater degree, that caballers, intriguers, and demagogues are prevented from climbing on the shoulders of faction to the tempting seats of usurpation and tyranny.
Be champions of the Constitution and the Rule of Law.

  5. Perfection.
    Unfortunately we’re in age where apparently it’s become acceptable to self-define everything… and attention spans are the length of a tweet. (eye roll) I can imagine my coworkers wouldn’t even understand half the words — nor would they sit down to puzzle out the meaning.
    Even so, here’s to that sacred duty.
    Hugs.
