Not logical.

Conservatives conserve the Constitution.

What other RINO changes does he want?

“Not logical.

This issue has apparently driven a lot of people off the deep end. Since when can’t a conservative amend the Constitution? Amendability is part of the essence of the Constitution. This particular issue is one thing, and so are general questions about how often it should be amended or how solemn and serious a process it is. But to say conservative = conserve = no amendments is just stupid.

And what does “logic” have to do with it? Since “conservative” is our label, we are “logically” compelled never to change anything? That’s insane.

So what was the conservative position on Prohibition? Was it conservative to change the constitution and deny people the ability to drink?

Or was it conservative to change the constitution later, and not “conserve” the constitution?

Or is it being liberal to both ban drinking and ban the ban on drinking?
