Re: NYT: The Constitution Is An Out-Dated, Anti-Democratic Relic
The NYT has dummies writing for them. The Senate originally represented STATE governments not the citizens of those states that is what the House is for. The Senators used to be selected by the State legislature, instead of elected by the citizens of the state, to represent the state legislature in Congress. That's why each state gets two and is not based on the population of the state.
 Quoting: New World Man


And it should be this way again. The States themselves need representation as a balance.

Yes, this is what helped erode state power.

Re: NYT: The Constitution Is An Out-Dated, Anti-Democratic Relic
The Constitution IS NOT DEMOCRATIC at all! DUH.....

We have a Constitutional Republic. NEVER a democracy.

The Constitution IS NOT MEANT to save us by itself. It is meant so that WE, The People- THAT WE SAVE OURSELVES by outlining and codifying our Natural RIGHTS, given us by our Creator! EVERY STATE CONSTITUTION has in the very first line thanks to the Creator. Each one is different, but there it is.

That NO MAN/NO ONE can take those Rights away, EVER!

If they try, the 2nd Amendment is specifically FOR THE PURPOSE OF KEEPING THOSE RIGHT. (after all other forms have been exhausted)

If the Constitution is banned, then ALL AUTHORITY is NULL & VOID. The USA will not have a Legislature, Judicial or Executive Branches. No official military. No official police/FBI or any other agency. NO RULE OF LAW. The Constitution is the reason for being-of the USA. It is our foundation, which is why the commie baby-killers want to destroy it so badly-they foam at the mouth about it, and must (eventually) be put down like the rabid dogs they are.

Without it we are in anarchy.

Those that choose to work for banning our Constitution are a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to WE, THE PEOPLE.
 Quoting: WEDGE5th


I do believe your very first line is the central issue causing some major panic as to folks starting to figure this out. Anarchy never works out well for very long.

And I would totally support rewriting it to include that missing 13th Amendment. That right there would solve a lot of shady shit that plagues us today.

Oh...and to whomever on this thread gave me red karma, all I can say is I must've touched a nerve about mentioning the inclusion of this mysterious amendment. Oh, and you forgot to sign your red karma vote, bless your heart.
And thought struggles against the results, trying to avoid those unpleasant results while keeping on with that way of thinking. That is what I call 'sustained incoherence.' ...David Bohm

They are mad that the framers wrote it in such a way as to protect us from assholes like them.

-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------------------------------------------------​--

Think the Constitution Will Save Us? Think Again

The subversion of democracy was the explicit intent of the framers.

Consider a few facts: Donald Trump is in the White House, despite winning almost three million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton. The Senate, the country’s most powerful legislative chamber, grants the same representation to Wyoming’s 579,315 residents as it does to 39,536,653 Californians. Key voting rights are denied to citizens in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and other United States territories. The American government is structured by an 18th-century text that is almost impossible to change.

These ills didn’t come about by accident; the subversion of democracy was the explicit intent of the Constitution’s framers. For James Madison, writing in Federalist No. 10, “Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention” incompatible with the rights of property owners. The byzantine Constitution he helped create serves as the foundation for a system of government that rules over people, rather than an evolving tool for popular self-government.

 Quoting: Flintdick


It's lesser the term limits that are the problem and more so us being given, and then us "selecting," shitty people to run our country.

We need to understand and except our own culpability in the downfall of our nation if we ever hope to regain our strength.

It's everybody's fault. Sure, originally it was the evil elites, but now we've allowed ourselves to become so corrupted through fear and intimidation of death, that we are essentially living a dystopian nightmare without realizing there is another choice.

The choice?

Stop being so fearful of breaking other people's fake, dumb laws/rules or offending them. If you know you're right, speak your mind and stand your ground.

Actually if they wanted to report accurately, their article would say 'Trump won by 77 electoral votes'. We the people do not vote in a President directly - popular vote is completely irrelevant - we vote for electors.

And THAT is what makes the United States of America a Republic and NOT a Democracy!

Yes, but the Communist Takeover of the U.S. is continuing regardless what we do. There's no way to properly deal with this Communist Takeover of the U.S. without it involving up to alot of physical violence, and that's how the Communists are winning.

They know how to bide their time, who to sacrifice, and generally stay hidden both in plain sight and in the shadows. They have decades of successes in subversion of a number of countries. If they can successfully take over the U.S. that's it for Humanity.

 Quoting: Ohio Leopard


All I read is "Opinion" written articles from the progressive left, that frames the exact same question... And it seemed to start under Obama... where the constitution and bill of rights should be gotten rid of, because it's outdated. Now, I respect people and their opinions, but when you have a monopoly with the progressive left who have infiltrated every sector of our country, who spew nothing but hatred for this country...

And where I'm coming from is simply that if you have a differing opinion from theirs, they want to destroy your life. And we have seen this play out time and time again. So, we have this same reoccurring narrative running over and over, but they want to have a socialist system where we have all of our rights stripped from us, and they lord over us, telling us what to think and say.

There is no question that the schooling system has beaten into our children to be obedient subjects, and not thoughtful citizens that practice the trivium philosophy. So, we have a lot of young people coming up, and they all think that Capitalism is evil, and that social controls are necessary.

The very people that are the preachers have weaponized our system and turned it against us. Now, wrong is write, up is down, left is right, Satan is good, God is bad, government shouldn't be questioned... You get the point.

This where I'm coming from. We have places like Venezuela that is dying under socialist control... and people are eating zoo animals and food out of dumpsters, but our news won't even report the absolute horrors of all these other places that practice the very thing that the writer of the opinion article likely advocates.

I am not trying to be a dick here, I'm just saying that this still is the greatest country in the world... and we have people within, that want to destroy it.
