As long as we have our Constitution, we can rebuild.

That’s right. We have the blue prints.

I humbly disagree...you must build a nation on the Foundation of a good and just populous. The Constitution, absent a moral and upright people, is just a piece of paper. How do we know this?

John Adams in a speech to the military in 1798 warned his fellow countrymen stating, “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any.

Our problem is a national lack of Integrity and Character, not a lack of Constitution. A good and just and upright people are not forced to rely on such a document as they will “govern themselves” - an immoral, corrupt, and unjust people will just ignore it anyway.

One need only look at how the Constitution is shredded each day to know which type of people we have now become.....

That is like saying that as long as we have the original drawings we can rebuild the twin towers. It takes a lot more than that. The Constitution is the written manifestation of an idea, when the people no longer understand the idea nothing can be rebuilt. I meet very few people who understand the idea and almost no one who is in power understands the idea. Our enemies have worked for decades to erase the original idea and replace it with a corrupt, distorted version that would seem comical if it were not so tragic.

Try telling the truth about the origins of this country and in most gatherings you will be shunned as a nutcase.
