Recent statements by our politicians suggest that one small portion of one sentence taken out of context gives them the right to invade and regulate our personal lives to the point of a nanny state. Our founding fathers would be ashamed of those willing to sacrifice their freedoms for a little safety. They fought with everything they had to win our liberty from tyrants and just a mere flash in history later we have forgotten their sacrifices.
Here is the part being taken out of context:
Constitution of the United States Article 2 Section 3
...he shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed, ...
It would be real easy to rant off topic so I will control myself and get back to the take care clause. Our constitution is clear who makes the laws and it is not the President, it also makes it clear who who holds the ultimate power and it always comes back to the people. That is why it is so vitally important that we educate ourselves on our rights, read our Constitution, read our Declaration of Independence, pay attention to what our lawmakers and get back to being the ever vigilant people of the United States of America our forefathers sacrificed so much for.

From his famous "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech at
St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia March 23, 1775
For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom
or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate.
It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth,
and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country.
Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence,
I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country,
and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven,
which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President,
it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts.
Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears,
hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part,
whatever anguish of spirit it may cost,
I am willing to know the whole truth;
to know the worst, and to provide for it.

2 Chronicles 7:
13"If
I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the
locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, 14and
My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek
My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place.…
