If you don't believe in the preservation of the Constitution...then you can take Sam Adams advise.
There are millions of us out here who will go down persoinally before that document is shredded. it, and the underlying principles that bear it up are what make us free and lends meaning to that free life.
Discarding it, forgetting it is to invite unimaginably worse conditions.
In WW II we were shocked back into reality and awakened. We can be again. But only so long as we remain free and do not discard the unalienable rights and the moral underpinning to them.
So...discard it if you will...but at your and all of our peril. I shall not.

Don't put words in my mouth. I like the Constitution just the way it was written, and I'm a proud patriot. Even so, a WMD attack will change everything. Look at the world-wide stock markets today and a few days ago when the first Turkish bombings took place. They dipped. But a real WMD attack will crash them, ergo, no economic activity, no pay, no way to get the things we all take for granted every day. People will totally panic and the military will have to step in to prevent total chaos. You can stick your head in the sand if you want to believe it won't happen.

IMHO, that's when we went to sleep, and we still haven't woken up. That's when the Left took control.

The Institute on the Constitution educates citizens on the Founders' Constitution. It's a helpful bulwark against tyranny. You can find more information

Sorry..... another bad anology. There wasn't a risk of WMD in WWII (until afterwards during the MAD period of the cold war). The hypothesis put forward was a WMD attack in America. Geez, in WWII, we didn't even fight on our home soil.
So when we are "shocked back into reality " this time, get ready for an unleashing of nukes by the USA onto every rouge state in the world. An attack of WMD on our soil would result in unimaginable damage, but rather over there and there and there and there...... than more here.
