“Time to amend the U.S. Constitution”

That time has passed, we couldn’t get the support today in this atmosphere for such an amendment. We will have to wait till our countrymen come to there sense and get over the “politically correct” nonsense about the homosexual life being anything other than a path toward self-destruction and extinction.

Besides if we have to amend the Federal Constitution every-time the Federal Employees invents(IE: ‘discovers’) a new “right” invariably at the expense of other rights both enumerated and otherwise we will soon have a constitution in the thousands of pages, and very little freedom because with each amendment comes the potential for yet more illiterate Federal creativity.

The only amendment I would suggest we pass would be one that repeals the 14th amendment, which has thus far proven to be a most convenient source for most of this abuse while otherwise unnecessary. Being that it was an amendment passed by Short sited radical republicans in the antebellum period and ‘ratified’ only under occupation of the south and the presumption that even northern States could not resend their ratification of amendments, as several States did after elections on the matter proved the people did not consent to this amendment.

The time to amend the U.S. Constitution was 15 years ago, but a bunch of Senate Republicans insisted that it was “unnecessary” because they had passed the good ol’ “Defense of Marriage Act” that would protect us from activist judges. Back in 1999, the Federal Marriage Amendment would have gotten 2/3 of each house and easily been ratified by the state legislatures in 38 states, but today such an amendment would not get close to 2/3 in either house.

Time to remember—and to teach our children that which Webster taught of our obligation to select as our rulers “just(Honest/Righteous) men who will rule in fear(or reverence) of Almighty God. when we choose our politicians according to the how do they look on TV standard or the what will they give me standard—or any other standard contrary to that held forth by our founders —we have this problem.

Yes. Amend it so activist black robed tyrants can't, by their own whim, override the will of the people.
