CNN: Let's have a civil discussion.
Me: I'm in
CNN: You're a murderer!
A return to first principles?
Seems more proper, IMO.
Heeeeeey! Don't compare me to Obozo.
My ears are normal sized.
SNAP!
Of course have no objection to "return to first principles." The revolution was fought without a clear idea of the constitution, but the DoI contains some mighty powerful stuff. It is literally a revolutionary document in a political sense, and in a philosophical sense.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Almost spewed my coffee!
“1) Unecessary”
Well it would help me save time scanning through the posts since these trollvillian shapeshifters are skilled at morphing.
“2) counterproductive to make a scarlet letter list”
I wasn’t suggesting a scarlet letter list. I was suggesting a troll letter list using the letter T.
“2) Plus, such a list would itself become a subject of debate. Give the trolls less, not more.”
(I think you meant 3) I don’t give a pea turkey d@mn what it gives them. It will feed them less because we will know who to ignore immediately. Who runs these threads Trolls or people that want to discuss?
I hope stage 3 is just discussing how to dispose of the executed bodies of the criminals.
Whichever side has better discipline. You no doubt notice ebb and flow. There are times that the troll-induced off-topic dicussion becomes dominant. That happens when the non-trolls lose discipline.

This video shows that relevant things were taken from
the school to prevent solving the shooting
and that the drive throws other things out to
also obstruct and impede justice.
Who are these clowns?
Fathers of the “students”?
How dare they remove Evidence? unless they were in on it?
This also supports the real students who claim there were
other shooters.
Your posts usually make me smile. But reading this causes me heartache. Very sad indeed because it is so true.
LOL. Minor detail. But IMO, there is a serious issue with getting the public on board the MAGA-train, whoever is driving it. Otherwise Trump is no more than a 4 or 8 year speed-bump.
Then you want a new Constitution or form of government?
No. And the words of the DoI that you chose includes "to throw off such Government," which is different from "to throw off such form of Government."
I don't disagree with your preferred "return to first principles," it just isn't my preference. Under the NWO and open immigration scheme, we are a nation only in form. The left insists it is operating within the constitution, that it is following first principles, etc.
At bottom, our difference on this subject is nothing more than preference in rhetoric. We both agree that the government is operating outside of the constitution, and we both want to see that corrected.
Just clarifying.
You post that, and yet you feign ignorance with my post to you? Dear Lord. You need help.
You are watching a movie.
A movie has to have a script.
Once you've seen it it's a rerun.
They want you WEAK.
By breaking you down mentally.
SLAVE.
Slaves obey.
SHEEP.
Sheep get sheared.
DISTRACTION.
A trick of an illusionist.

Whorealdo is an ID 10 T!
As beautiful and powerful as our constitution is, it has not prevented the shift of power from the people and states to remote despots. Just one example, our government is enabling and encouraging invasion, just relabel the invaders "dreamers" and all is well. Crikey!
