Liberal Columnist: 'Throw the Entire Constitution in the Garbage'
Newsbusters ^ | January 29, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

"Throw the entire Constitution in the garbage."

It shouldn't surprise you to find out that this is the secret sentiment of some liberals. However, what is unusual is for them to state it right out in the open as Ryan Cooper did in his January 26 column in This Week. What is different about him is that he flat out stated that we need to get rid of it in America's Constitution is terrible. Let's throw it out and start over.

I’m actually willing to compromise.

Let’s not discard the Constitution, but let’s suspend it for a year.

During that year, we can round up and summarily execute every single liberal in the United States.

Those liberals that are particularly egregious, we can slowly torture to death.

Then, after that year, we can reinstate the Constitution.

The dumbass. There's already a way to amend the Constitution. It's difficult. It's difficult on purpose so that any change has wide support, not narrow support for the lasted fad.

But liberals know they'd never get the wide support for their dumbass ideas, so they use activists judges to do their bidding.

We’re supposed to take advice from people who don’t know the difference between a boy and a girl?

It’s a good thing that Trump retrieved our beloved Constitution from Obama’s White House dumpster.

And there are some here on Free Republic who spout nonsense that the Constitution and the rule of law is dead. You can practically hear them calling for rolling out retribution à la the French Revolution.

Bring out the guillotines! Vive la Maximilien Robespierre! LOL

Cooper, locate a country that has the type of government YOU want and MOVE there.

Our Constitution is for US. If you don’t like it, you can leave. Numerous ports will accommodate your exit.

Just because YOU and your liberal/progressive cohorts don’t like it does not give YOU and your liberal/progressive cohorts the right to change it to the way you want. Besides, considering how many failures the liberals have produced over the years, you would be crying about the resulting new government in 25 years or less.

Look at California, for example. The more liberal and foreign it becomes, the more bankrupt it becomes. It only survives because of FED tax dollars — and those dollars are from us out here in fly-over country. If California did secede, it would be applying for foreign aid from DC within months.

I have had the impression that a lot of leftists have been throwing the Constitution in the garbage for a long time.

“Iraq has a parliamentary democracy. This was imposed by our government. Think about that.”

Wrong.

They Iraqis chose their own form of government. They wrote and ratified their own constitution.

What you propose is pretty much the process used to cleanse Egypt of the fanatic Muslim Brotherhood. That has turned out well.

A cleansing of America involves great stress in the leftist bastions of the great cities.

To restore America, there must be great destruction. There must be great numbers killed or exiled. Prison is not feasible because there are just too many domestic enemies.

The suggestion of partitioning California has merit if similar partitioning occurs in Oregon and Washington. Those areas must be purged

In the east, all north and east of New Jersey and New York must be purged. The area around Philadelphia might be purged as well.

Leftist bastions in the South and midwest must have the populations purged and exiled to the major purged areas on the coasts.

Such action will destroy the United States but the replacement will be America, Euro values will be purged.

We had a man there and could have dictated. Professional bureaucrats agree with this writer.

The Left is finally ditching the mask and letting us know what they REALLY think.

The narrative is this. There can be no social justice without an all poweful Marxist government granting total power to an enlightened few who have been down with the struggle. Black folks can't get a fair shake in a capitalist society. Or even a free society. Things are stacked against black folks in a free society. Enter a Marxist dictatorship to dole out "social justice" according to the whims of whatever the few wise deem socialy just.

A system of checks and balances on government power social justice? Not so much.

A bill of rights guaranteeing freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, the right to bear arms, freedom of religion et al., social justice? Nahhhhh

Gotta have a Marxist dictatorship. It'll be fun. Just trust it.

Before the ink could dry on that magnificent document people started to rip it apart, a new breed of feudal barons whose ancestors are still at it today, Ryan Cooper not withstanding.

Liberty and freedom does not grow on trees!

so·cial jus·tice
noun: social justice

justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society. "individuality gives way to the struggle for social justice"

Social Justice = Communism

They hate it because it is an attempt - an attempt, mind you - to limit their god, government.

I saw this a few days ago. Ryan Cooper needs to die of terminal "Schoolhouse Rock" earworm.

*****

In 1787 I'm told
Our founding fathers did agree
To write a list of principles
For keepin' people free.

The U.S.A. was just startin' out.
A whole brand-new country.
And so our people spelled it out
The things that we should be...

You can’t show Schoolhouse Rock anymore in schools. Especially the one about the “Melting Pot”. The term “Melting Pot” is now considered ‘racist.’

Oh, I know. Go find the videos on YouTube and read the comments - especially those that are obviously from uneducated minority types.
