"We have the power to say that to ourselves and the people in our small sphere of influence"

Well I do anyways. You're doing everything in your power not to say it.

"As they do in fact use the 14th to create "gay marriage", abortion on demand, "anchor babies", ban prayer in public schools, and a whole host of wrong headed destructive ideas, it is in fact possible to use the 14th to do it."

Nope. Not possible. A slavery amendment after a war not fought over gay marriages would not do and could not do that. It's literally and actually and factually not possible. Only lies by people in power with an alternate agenda could create these things. Plenty of lies coming from progressives.

Here is what really happens. Progressives use thin air and whole cloth to create "gay marriage", abortion on demand, "anchor babies", ban prayer in public schools, and a whole host of wrong headed destructive ideas since it is not possible to use the 14th to do it. They just lump a lie on top of it like a cherry on ice cream. I'm sorry to wreck your reality, but there it is.

"Pointing out that liberals are abusing the 14th amendment is not the same as believing in a "living constitution.""

Enabling is the same. People go to jail for giving loaded guns to those with a history of suicide attempts and a known desire to do it again. Even moreso people also go to jail for hiring hitmen to off their spouse. "But I personally never killed anybody!" Tell your cellmate that you personally never killed anybody.

If you're going to enable the living constitution you're a supporter of it. You can't keep saying "and they used it like a hammer" and other such similar statements deeply rooted in a faithful trust while saying you hold a deep distrust of the very same thing. It can't be both.

Just don't be surprised when you get called out for trying to have it both ways.

I notice you keep dodging a point I keep making.

Do you believe the 14th amendment was ratified through a legitimate ratification process, and that southern states which ratified it actually represented the genuine will of the people of their respective states?

You keep portraying the 14th as a holy amendment sullied by evil liberal judges "lying" about it, but you never seem to address the issue of whether it was a properly "ratified" amendment.

I think you are afraid to admit the truth on this particular point.
