My point exactly. We've been propagandized. But now that information is freer, and Gen. Grant's guns don't pose a threat, the subject can be discussed once again.
The issue is not whether emancipation or suffrage of African Americans can be obliterated. Virtually no one agrees with that. The question is whether the many asserted offshoots are legitimate.
One way to de-legitimize them is to deligitimize the amendment itself, and start over. What we end up with would be more precise, narrower, and less prone to abuse.
WTF?
All I said was that these amendments would be ratified today in a nanosecond, and you agreed that that is so.
Does that make YOU a "fervent defender" of the overthrow of the Old Republic?
Why, er, um...no. But the bluntness of your post led me to believe that you were.
If you're merely pointing out the practical difficulties of doing it, well, I agree. But as I said before, just bringing up the subject could lead to a breakthrough. There are a number of possibilities, but until they're discussed, it's not even going to have a chance to happen.
Sir, if we do not speak bluntly, nothing will be accomplished.
Yes, it is too much to ask of leftist propaganda organizations to "snitch" on their Overlords in the government.
Besides, we are all too busy watching the Peterson Case, don'tcha know?
Well, then bluntly put forth your proposed solution!
Exactly correct.
We don't need another CC, we just need to return to the original document, and its intentions and rules.
Which "original document"? The one with ten amendments? No amendments? All the amendments we have now, except for the ones you don't like?
Your statement doesn't hold any water.
Either we add amendments that fix things, or we revoke the ones that have caused trouble, or we renegotiate the whole damn thing.
