I have a great deal of respect for the founding fathers and their vision. Reading the Federalist Papers and a lot of the early documents, you'll see they were often at odds with each other and had completely different ideas from person to person. They figured something out that worked better than I think any of them would have expected in the long term.
That said, no regime is bound to last forever. I find it hard to be a conservative in a world that seems to have very little worth conserving. Our government has become evil and corrupt beyond anything even remotely acceptable, and the constitution didn't save us. The principles that our country was founded on was tailor-made for a nation that no longer exists. I'm afraid the modern American people are incapable of handling the kind of system envisioned all those years ago. I don't see a democratic republic functioning with the way people are today, especially people my age and younger. Our culture is a cesspool.
"Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” - John Adams
Um, it has to be applied in order to be effective. If most people don't even know what it is, don't understand the protections it offers, and if tptb are corrupt, of course it's going to seem to be useless. Use it in every instance you can, at every opportunity. I bet you've never relied on the constitution in any of your day to day life situations.
You kind of skipped over a part of that very Constitution your speaking of ...that goes on about tearing up a government when it stops representing it's people
That's the D.o.I. not the C.
Someone, maybe it was you, posted something very similar to this a while back. The short answer is you have never lived during a time when the United States Government and all 50 states were faithfully following the Constitution. You have no idea what it would be like if they did.
If someone is truly a conservative here what they want to preserve is more of an ideal than a personal experience. What the United States needs is Constitutional and Founding Renaissance period before anyone can rightly declare the Constitution is incapable of handling the challenges of today.
Here we go again with the bullshit shill posts from this guy.
"Our culture is a cesspool."
Fix that first, then see what happens.
John Adams gave you the answer fren.
Cringe
Sorry? The Constitution snt there to save us? We are pledged to save it. To do that people will need to start believing and acting accordng to it again. We simply stopped acting free? Stopped demanding service out of the selfish skags we elected. Now we have a chance to see them held accountable and for a message to be sent that the new and proper standard of the Consituation is going to be applied amd upheld against the government amd it will be .adequate normal again to eschew government help.
yes!
When elections are rigged at all levels, and many elected officials, judges, etc. are blackmailed, the country really isn’t representative of the general population. It is instead representative of the evil pieces of shit doing the rigging and blackmailing.
If we get fair elections then I wouldn’t be surprised if real MAGA oriented representatives would have a majority in all aspects of or congress and the executive. That would mean real MAGA would vote in real leaders for our spy agencies, the DOJ, department of education, health, etc.
The Constitution survived 50,000 dead at Gettysburg. It should work for a blue haired lefty revolt.
We will see a huge turnaround with the return of Trump. Part of the fix must be the teeth adds to the laws governing government actions. When there is no teeth, the laws are broken without consequences.
18 USC 241 and 242 must be enforced vigorously.
Before they could destroy the Constitution, they had to destroy faith and morality, which they have done a thorough job of. Things people would have been ashamed of 50 years ago, are now openly practiced and celebrated. The Law, is inadequate to restrain the evil urges of men and women. We must return to teaching morality to our children, or the great American experiment, is over.
Indeed. First the Articles of Confederation were tried. When the debt had to be paid, certain amenities had to be made. That is what you now know as The Constitution for the united States of America.
Of course, Amendment 1-13 ( the original belong in there)
As said, the problem facing humanity since Unam Sanctam, de basis for financing the Papal States, is debt & taxes. And the C.is no different. Once you start to think in terms of debt, history since Unam Sanctam becomes logical. Even the War of Southern Seccession becomes logical.
Lincoln did not save the Union. All he had to do was let freedom reign. But no, war rakes up debt. And debts ..... well ... Ask Mr. J.P.Morgan. Since then you know it as THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
You think so, then go live in another country Doomer. https://libertyfirstsociety.com/noncompliantmovie/

Maybe you should move to Canada? Or some other socialist country.
You should toss your TV's out the window.
