In the clip, Beck says:
“I have been a supporter of the Article V Convention of States. I have been a pretty big supporter, a vocal supporter. I am reversing that today because after some real thought and prayer, we are not the people to open up this sacred document. We are not the people. That was a God inspired document that was divinely written. You can read that from I don’t know how many founders. The very hand of God was involved. Benjamin Franklin even said that. The very hand of God was involved in writing that document. Do you believe that we could send that kind of delegate today? Someone who, when they got to an impasse, somebody like Ben Franklin would say, let’s pause and go to church and pray. They did not politic. They prayed. I am not for opening up that Constitution any more because we are not that people any more. When we are that people, I will be for it again. When we have demonstrated our humility and our obedience to God, and I am afraid it is going to take a massive beat down of our country to get to that place, then I will be for it again. Some day we will be humble enough, we will recognize God, some day we will not be an enemy to God, we will not be so arrogant. When we are those people, I will support the Convention of States. But I withdraw my support, and I am sorry to say that. It is because of the fact that this Constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone other than a religious and moral people. We are not those people and we should not stain this document.

As to serious consideration of your boorish tone, inflected with a sense of moral superiority, I do agree with you, a further utterance of your clucking would be a waste of time.
Please read up on the 17th Amendment, how it was passed and a bit on how our Beautiful Constitution works...
I do believe we both see the current track this country is on and we know it’s not a good one... all jousting aside, it’s time to consider an appropriate approach to righting the ship, we owe that to much to those patriots past and future generations..
I don’t have to trust Santorum when I already know what he is saying is true.
But thank you for your low-info opinion.
We do agree on that. Cheers!
Yeah, just what we need: Californians and 20 year olds voting on what the Constitution SHOULD say!
Do your homework...
If you’ve read that book, you are truly a rare find. Mine is so dog-eared and used the its falling apart. I’m going to scan the book into a pdf.
Did you ever hear about Rossum’s daughter? Strange story.
Re: Your fourth paragraph: Maybe, but I believe not.
If the Founders were smarter, they would have put a protection on the Senate’s selection process as a foundation of their republican form of government.
Hamilton’s Fed #84 was dead on about the dangers of a Bill of Rights, but wrong in others.
Fascinating stuff!
You have no idea of my info, jackass. Santorum is a typical political opportunist, the guy needs to get a real j-o-b. His routine is getting tired.
That’s two posts now that show your info level very clearly.
FO dick head. You’re the reason the GOPe has such a hold on people. Piss off.
LOL At least I understand what I read.
I doubt it retard.
Your doubts don’t carry any weight.
Nor does your GOPe sensibilities. Go away.
This makes no sense at all. It's ridiculous even as an adolescent taunt.
You know you have a learning disability. I told you several times, you and Santorum are pathetic losers. GOPe trash. What’s to argue? Go away.
If you reply to me I will reply back. It’s the polite thing to do.
You’re kind of a trash-mouth aren’t you?
You’re kinda trash. GOPe loser. We can go on and on, I’m game, loser.
You misspelled lame.
No misspelling by me loser.
You’re not in a very good mood, mommy buy the wrong Hotpocket flavor?
It’s truly amazing how emotionally fragile you are.
One little comment has you sputtering out of control.
Get a grip, snowflake!
