CBS RUNS SEGMENT CALLED 'LET'S GIVE UP ON THE CONSTITUTION'
Breitbart TV ^ | Jan 27th, 2013 | Breitbart TV

Posted on 01/27/2013 4:51:39 PM PST by Greystoke

This is our country. We live in it, and we have a right to the kind of country we want. We would not allow the French or the United Nations to rule us, and neither should we allow people who died over two centuries ago and knew nothing of our country as it exists today. If we are to take back our own country, we have to start making decisions for ourselves, and stop deferring to an ancient and outdated document.

Then the Union itself is dissolved, since the Constitution creates it. Works for me, let the blue states go full on red and the red states get our Republic back, while we still have a chance of saving a portion of it.

Then we Constitutionally declare socialism to be what is, theft and illegal. Abolish all socialist programs in the new Republic, abolish about 90% of the fed bureaucracy, give all the dead-beats and former fed workers a one way ticket to the moocher`s utopia, declare the gubmint "retirement plans" to be the responsibility of the old dis-topian leftist gubmint and let them have their dream society.

They`ll be practicing cannibalism in the people`s dis-topia within a couple of years.

The New York Times ran an op-ed at the end of December by this dude, same title. Let’s Give Up on the Constitution

It's bad enough these radical professors keep their jobs, but when CBS airs tripe like this, they are attempting to mainstream his radical views.

I thought that the original bill of rights could not be altered in any way, including by the amendment process?

I believe the Constitution only had two "unamendable" sections, one of which is no longer in effect.

Article V: Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.

The first of these referenced prohibiting the slave trade prior to 1808, when such prohibition was passed, so no longer applies.

The second is still in effect.

Personally I find it difficult to see how an amendment, which can completely change the Constitution itself, can be prohibited from changing this provision. But since nobody is proposing any change to this single provision, it doesn't seem to make a difference, as Hilary might say.

Why is this guy walking around free? Imagine if you or I went on CBS with exactly the same assertions. We are in the beginning of the War of Leftist Aggression. It will not be long now before shooting starts because of the mindset demonstrated here and at all levels of government. One would have to be blind not to see this eventuality looming on the horizon.

This gave me a stomach ache.

How many times in how many ways does this bunch need to tell us, they are through with the constitution? And why does it not phase anyone in power when the president on down denounce the constitution?

Why does it not rattle in the GOP or anyone at FOX News when the DOD and DHS classifies people who support the constitution as terrorists?

Is it or is it not treason for people in power to undermine and denounce the constitution?

I wanna go home! Wake me up from this nightmare.

Are these treasonous pukes for real?

OK, you first, CBS. No more 1st amendment.

The fascists are out of the closet. If we discard the constitution, fascism is all that’s left. The republic, branches of government, checks and balances, due process, the Bill of Rights, Enumerated Powers and the entire foundation of over two centuries of order are gone. What will fill the vacuum will be either the executive or the military. Either would be a dictatorship.

My only solace in these times is that treasonous idiots are identifying themselves. They will be brought to justice.

CBS RUNS SEGMENT CALLED 'LET'S GIVE UP ON THE CONSTITUTION'

Might as well have called it...

CBS RUNS SEGMENT CALLED 'LET'S START A CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA'

Same difference.

That was a nice post.

The reason so many people don't know history or it's importance is because it's not being taught to them.

Our schools have failed us.

The media, who really should know better, but don't, have failed us.

Our leaders have failed us.

This, obviously, is a prescription for disaster.

Personally, I don't see how we can avoid bad times ahead, but let me remind one and all - our freedom, that which we were born with, is our birthright, unlike so many other nations in history that have fallen by the wayside. We should instinctively know that something is wrong when others try by any means possible to deprive us of that which is ours.

Let me repeat that - that which is ours!

People are buying guns by the millions because they know in their heart of hearts things are going bad, and if we follow this path and leave it unattended it's end will not be a good place at all.

People know.

I could ramble on all night here on this subject, but just let me close by saying this country is ours, the protestations of Sam Donaldson and the like notwithstanding, and in the end, subversion will doubtless be met most resolutely.

If the nation falls apart, I think America's enemies overseas will be paralyzed, more than anything, by the cataclysm they'll witness. What will come in it's aftermath? Who knows.

But I am a free man. That's how I've lived. That's how I'm going to die.

CA....

They should have just titled it, “Let’s give up on personal freedom”, or “Just let your betters enslave you”.

I’m tired of “these people.” That’s the only way I can put it without delving into a string of obscenities that will get me reprimanded here. I’m to the point where sometimnes I think we should just says, “OK, let’s go to the alley/parking lot and rumble.”

So can I stop my paying my taxes?
Can I shoot liberal politicians?

If the Constitution means nothing - then nothing done in its name is legitimate either.

They’re going to take our government because no one in a position to stop them is going too. :(:(:(:(:(

Disturbing that CBS (and the NYT) is bold enough to run this opinion. :(:(:(:(

We have REALLY gone down hill. :(:(:(:(:(

Wow. That took my breath away.

Of course they KNOW BO isn’t Constitutionally eligible. They’ve known it all along.
