I have problems with the first amendment -- I think Islam should be outlawed.
I have problems with the second amendment -- I think it needs to be more clear that I can carry concealed anywhere at any time.
I have problems with the 16th amendment -- income tax is wrong.
I have problems with the 17th -- direct election of senators is wrong.

The US Constitution failed to stop us from drifting toward a socialistic servile state. On paper, it reads pretty well, but after 200+ years of practice, we've ended up in a bad place.

I'd like a reset, because I don't like where we are.

Not really a 1st amendment problem; Islam is not a religion, but a political, and legal, system with the trappings of a religion.

I have problems with the second amendment -- I think it needs to be more clear that I can carry concealed anywhere at any time.

I'm not sure it's a problem. Just needs a second section: "It is the right of every Citizen to keep and bear arms; no law or tradition withstanding, any government officer, official, or judge attempting to abridge this amendment shall forfeit all enrollments, pensions, and retirement benefits."

I would actually rather an income tax than a property tax; the latter means that you can never, never own your own land and become independent of the government.

Agreed; the States themselves [as entities] have no representation in the federal government.

I lay much of the blame on the judiciary: precedent is a horrible, horrible thing, it is nothing less than judges playing the children's game of 'telephone' with your [legal] rights.

What we need as-a-country is real, moral, righteous life... the kind that only God gives.

Many living Americans have fought in wars and been permanently scarred because of it. Many other Americans have lossed loved ones. Many Americans have died in such wars.

The common denominator for all:

They swore an oath to defend the Constitution. As did I.

No one in their right mind would want to get rid of it.

That is because we have a Post-Constitutional government like Mark Levin states.

So many current laws should be Null and Void because they conflict with the Supreme Law of the Land. They are provable UNCONSTITUTIONAL. We The People have to make sure the judges quit twisting and warping our Constitution into Marx’s Manifesto.

If we were following the Constitution—Muslims wouldn’t be allowed to become citizens, because they believe in another political system and want to overthrow the Constitution, and polygamy denies equality under their law to women. Polygamy is illegal here.

We need to return to laws prior to Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. who removed God’s laws from our legal system. We have one standard —where our Rights are from-—not from Satan—or Barney Frank. God=Given Rights are the only one compatible with our Constitution.

All laws giving special rights to any group-—including special health care for Congressmen-—and DOE are UNCONSTITUTIONAL-—as is Obamacare.

We have to impeach judges and get them to quit being activist judges and acting like a ruling elite. This is not an oligarchy and the judges are ignoring the Supreme Law of the Land.

The Constitution—as it is— is near perfect.

The Constitution doesn't endanger our liberty and longevity...
..POLITICIANS (elected by an ignorant and nonchalant people) endanger our liberty and longevity

We've ended up in a bad place because:

(1) We didn't insist on enforcing the Constitutional matrix of governing principles...

(2) We passed amendments that weakened the basic framework ... as you accurately noted...

(3) We have taken a laissez-faire approach to the (lack of) teaching American history and imparting American ideals and values in our education system for the last 40 years...

--AND--
(4) Lately --we have elected TRAITORS!!!
(Just sayin')

Can you imagine...??

Attempting a "reset" over a several years period with the radical left occasionally running the country??

IMO --
We should do all that we can to reject the ideas and usurpations of the radical left...

IOW -- Toss them out of the halls of power by a large margin.. and with a stern warning.

Pray for a God-sent revival of our faith and renewed honor for the sacred laws that serve as foundation to our earth-bound laws....

--AND--
Promote a renewal of our historical values and a refreshing of our history --

This Constitution will do just fine --
...Should we again choose to live by it....

Again.... jmho...
No flames...
Just tryin' to think it through...
