So landowners are not included in the body of men saying "we the people" that allowed the federal government limited right to rule in their place?

On the contrary, most people will say that it is an absolute responsibility of the government to protect private property and rights thereof.

If you disregard (separate) landowners from we the people, yes then it would be a kind of blaspheme.
In June 1776, George Mason reiterated John Locke's theory of right to property in the Virgina Deceleration of Rights. But a few days later, on July 4th, Thomas Jefferson – penning the United States Deceleration of Independence – changed Locke’s original call for “life, liberty, and property” to: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

This has been seen as a recognition by Jefferson that also the have-nots needed a place in the society, in the new Nation. But I have never seen any intreptations that it meant property rights should not exist in the New World.

The dreamy socialist lyrics of Woody Guthrie have political repercussions on the rights of all of us. If the American people don't crawl out of that lullaby dream it will turn America into a nightmare.
