That's precisely what it is...

I was debating one of these nitwits one time and he actually said that if 3 million people were killed as a result of his interpretation of the Constitution then he was fine ith that.

In the end...I've found that the overwhelming majority of these types are nothing more than frustrated contrarians who rail against almost all authority. They are more anarchists who desire license than Patriots who desire freedom.

I just took a look at your home page. Well thought out positions and some impressive research. Looks like the Marines found one of the few good men. Thank you for your service.

You and those like you do more to safeguard the Constitution
than those who mutter that they never personally signed any social contract.

Simply know what rights and freedoms are worth, and have a grasp on the actual threat levels that have you quaking in your shoes and looking over your shoulder.

The Founding Principles are philosophical in nature, and apply to humans and their rights as given by the Creator simply because they live. These Principles know no bounds of time or hardship.

The Constitution prevailed through a number of "real wars". Why do you image that threats should have more impact on those principles than actual warfare. (Which you so obviously haven't experienced.)

Yes, a lot of Americans died when the Twin Towers were attacked. Many died at Pearle Harbor, but no one spoke of suspending the Constitution as a result of that attack. The only difference between now in then is that young people of today have no idea what the reall differences are between this Nation and all the others: Life under the Constitution.
