Read this, noob. From Rense.com:

We were blessed in 1787; the Con Con delegates were the leaders of a freedom movement that had just cleansed this land of tyranny.

Today's corrupt politicians and judges would like nothing better than the ability to legally ignore the Constitution - to modify its "problematic" provisions to reflect the philosophical and socials mores of our contemporary society.

The majority of U.S. voters just elected a dedicated leftist as President. Republicans are at their weakest right now! This is a horrible time to try such a crazy scheme. We cannot control the debate right now! Don't for one second doubt that delegates to a Con Con wouldn't revise the 1st Amendment into a government-controlled privilege, replace the 2nd Amendment with a "collective" right to self-defense, and abolish the 4th, 5th, and 10th Amendments, and the rest of the Bill of Rights. Additions could include the non-existent Separation of Church and State, the "right" to abortion and euthanasia, and much, much more.

Our uniquely and purely American concept of individual rights, endowed by our Creator, would be quickly set aside as an anachronistic relic of a bygone era; replaced by new "collective" rights, awarded and enforced by government for the "common good".

The problems our nation faces are not a result of deficiencies in our Constitution; rather, they are the direct result of our disregard for that divinely-inspired document of liberty.

There is no challenge faced by this nation that cannot be solved either by enforcing existing law, or in limited cases, by writing new law. We do not need, AND MUST NOT RISK THE LIBERTY OF THE UNITED STATES with, a Constitutional Convention!

Then it is a tragedy that you believe that a majority of the American people have no respect for the constitution. It is precisely because we have strayed from a strict interpretation and let courts find hidden meanings that we are in the mess we are in today. Do you think “busing” would have been approved if the people voted on it? Federal funding of abortion strained through a definition of privacy? Ban a firearm because of its cosmetic appearance? Spend another trillion when you have tens of trillions in unfunded liabilities? This is insane!
And please, easy on the Noob bs, I was fighting wars and putting my life on the line for this country when we still had a representative government that did not try to dictate every aspect of one’s life. The federal government has no right to take property (earnings or any other property) away from me or anyone else and give it to another party. That is a perversion of our constitution as well. It may take a trainwreck, and it appears that fiscally we are heading that way. The direction our country is going at present is way off track.

Amen. Too many in this country have rebelled against the words of our founders. They just need to repent and return to those words upon which our liberties and securities were founded.
