I’m not trying to be unfair here.

This is what you stated: No piece of paper can preserve our liberties.

This is where you said it: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2413487/posts?page=148#148

So why do you claim to support it?

Yes, ultimately you and I or others must take up arms if things get too far out of hand. That doesn’t mean the document hasn’t protected us, has not been useful as we stake claim to it’s premises.

That paper has definitely served to help preserve our liberties. Without it, we would have far less liberty today.

Look, I realize where you’re coming from, but I don’t care for the statement that no paper can preserve our liberties. That isn’t entirely accurate, and it just lays waste to the idea the Constitution is an important document. At least it does IMO.

Thanks for the response.

Our Constitution is a near miracle from God.

I swore to support to defend it almost 40 years ago and continue to do so.

Left alone, no piece of paper can preserve our liberties.

Our Framers got it right and unfortunately saw the future.
