I understand your confusion but I would point out that it is based in flawed assumptions and poor education.

In fact, the framers took great care to draft a Constitution and a Bill of Rights which allow for all people to be free, independent, sovereign.

It is the GOVERNMENT, drunk with power, which has acted against such reason.

The Constitution is perfect in it's design complete with instructions on how to amend it.

People, who find more comfort in getting lost in American Idol and football and have no interest in being the "check" against corrupt politicians by learning and understanding and taking part in our system, are more to blame for what is transpiring here in the United States.

Please explain.
Exactly which one does or does not apply to you?

but what will happen between the time the old Constitution is burning and the new one is in effect?

my guess is that you won't survive to live under a new Constitution...its the only thing keeping you alive as it is.

.

"Don't be a fool by accepting advice and ideas from clueless retards."

That would be you (OP)

Eh.

Again, reading comprehension FTL.

*sigh*

OP I posted the complete bill of rights above.
Please point out where it mentions skin color.Or where it specifically discriminates against you.
If you can't your just another troll.
Go start shit somewhere else.

OH, for gosh sake quit taking yourself so seriously, no one else is.

If you can read them in their entirety and not find portection for all men(inclusive of all, both gender and any other distinction) then you are blind.

.

Where does it say that? In the constitution or Bill of Rights.
You can imply any thing you want.Show me the words the words are law.

He's just another victim of Wikipedia opinion and can't decipher "all that hard language" of the original document.

Hey well if that is true, then all needs be done is for the supreme court to rule that the original principles written into the declaration of independence and bill of rights applies to all persons regardless of sex, race, religion, creed or color. And to enforce this decision through the judicial system on a case by case basis.

But they would have to refute the 14th amendment to do so, so that might get dicey.

You really need to further educate yourself before spewing such....

Lol you're pathetic.

.

I want to see exactly where it says that THIS CONSTITUITION does not apply to American Indians, Black men or even uses the words savages or slaves

.

Lol you're pathetic.
lmao

Makes you a Hippocrate does it not.
To bad you just lost all credibility.
Troll

Eh. I'm accurate. Ask any credible Historian. You're the troll.

The declaration of independence and the bill of rights were not "perfect" documents, but they were a summary of the rational philosophers that blossomed during the enlightenment.

The ideas of natural rights began with the magna carta and graduated with the likes of John Locke, Francis Bacon and Rousseau. The constitution was an attempt to codify these principles to form a government of the people for the people to ensure and protect these rights. How can one individual like Obama credibly re-write similar codes that summarized hundreds of years of academic thought and philosophy to ensure everyone's guaranteed rights?

In your world, I think you would be better served by a dictator, but then again maybe that is what you want.

This is a White Christian Nation. Don't like it, leave.

All your bellyaching is eventually going to awaken Jacob.

It's past time we rise. End Liberaism. Send these ungrateful peasants back to their nations.

Words of advice for Jacob;

This battle we find ourselves in puts us all in great peril. We must begin to awaken to the truth of our days. We will prevail, but we must;

Be Openly Intolerant of Liberal Ideals (fuck political correctness)

Teach our Children about their heritage.

Embrace racism. Nationalism.


There are still many, many more of us. All it will take is for your neighbor to see "you" stand up and speak out.

Fuck you commie fag!

OP is Obama posting under assumed name..

You still haven't shown me the words.
Its a general belief in this thread that you are an id10t.
Does that make it true without the words Or just because I imply it?

LOLOLOLOLOL.

Why don't you leave? My ancestors have been on this land for well over ten thousand years. And even though I'm a Christian, this is NOT a Christian country. So shove your bigot self-righteousness up your ass.

Lol.

Lol exactly the same response for anyone who doesn't agree with your fucked up Founding Fathers. Poor fuck. It's time for you to go home.
