This is why democracies are evil forms of government and why our Founders detested them... and why we don't have a democracy.

It was interesting to say the least. I never realized that so many foreigners were jealous of our Constitution and would like to see it dismantled. Some tried to tell us it was a living document to be changed depending on what was wanted at the moment. They felt congress should be able to change it on it's own.

Until they come over here and live under our constitution. Then they are the most ardent constitutionalists and some of the best citizens you can find in this country. I have met several over the years from many different countries and the ones that do the work to become citizens are some of our most ardent supporters.

The Naysayers are the ones who stayed where they were born and have never spent enough time, if any, in the US to actually start to understand the country.

:lol:

If a bare majority or even a mere super majority want to change it then they are going to be disappointed. It protects against tyranny of the majority. That is something most countries lack.

Not quite correct. It also requires it to be ratified by 3/4 of the state legislatures (both houses) and some states require at least a 2/3 majority of the voting citizens before the legislature will vote for it.


There is at least 5 steps to change any part of the constitution and congress only gets 2.

What a waste of time that link was - ignorance and attitude are ramped.

While I firmly believe in educating people and normalizing OC, the original poster on that linked thread is a total disaster, troll and is FUBAR to the Nth degree. Just not worth it.

Congress cannot change it on their own. Any changes proposed by the congress must be voted on by the various states. It takes 2/3 of the states to agree before it can be amended.

Edit: Sorry, that Old Curly Wolf beat me to this reply. :eek:

Most of these web pages are for "Birds of a Feather" and debates usually do not affect the viewpoints of the other members. Go to any "Readers Comments" section on any article on Townhall.com. There are lefties who have nothing better to do than to spout virulant rhetoric just to goad on conservatives. Their screenname appears on EVERY thread. They must not be gainfully employed and/or are misusing their employers computer.

I have better things to do than to debate a liberal on a web page. Go ahead if you want; framing your arguments will give you good practice in writing essays.

Arguing with a liberal is like wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty, but the pig likes it.

Ok, so given the post to which you're responding, you're hammering your own kind.

Nice...

Open carrying a gun is not covered by the right to bear arms; as depicted in the link below.

I'm not sure as to your intentions, here, Daylen. My only intentions involve the Constitution of the United States of America. I swore an oath to uphold an defend it, against all enemies foreign and domestic. I served in our military more than 20 years.

Open Carry is supported by both State AND federal rulings.

If you can't provide source documents to your claim, Dayleh, you'll be shoved into the same anti-gunner neverland all the rest of you and your compatriots' arguements find yourselves.

Tell you what, Daylen, here's a challenge you will very , very rarly find from any other source. Search me, ask me questions, divine why it is I decide to decide that which I decide to do.

Let's go further. Much further. Let's schedule meetings with respect to who and what I think about with respect to our Congressmen.

When posts don't quote properly, it is hard to figure out who said what. You can edit your posts to fix faulty quote tags after you have posted.

The problem is usually as simple as a single missing bracket.
