Too bad Mars isn't as habitable as Earth. We could move there, and let the liberals stay here on Mother Gaia (and ultimately starve without the productive class to feed them). We'd have to develop a system to shoot down any of their approaching spacecraft to keep their ideas out of our culture. We'd also have to add a couple of clauses to the Constitution, just for insurance:

No part of this Constitution shall be construed to mean in any way that the legislature, the executive, nor the judiciary shall be allowed or entitled in any way, for any reason, to re-distribute the wealth of one party or group to another group, irrespective of perceived or real disparities. The right to own property shall mean that NO ONE has a right to take it away from you, especially the government.

The Second Amendment shall be construed as to mean that you HAVE to own a gun, unless you're mentally ill, mentally defective, or a criminal. NO OTHER EXCEPTIONS ARE PERMISSIBLE. Being determined to be liberal shall not be construed as a mental defect, common sense to the contrary.

No legislator shall serve more than twelve years in the Federal government in any branch. No exceptions will be allowed, and no changes to this rule are allowed.

Ex Post Facto laws and bills of attainder really are illegal, just to remind any moron legislator or Supreme Court judge who can't understand the original text.

Freedom of speech means exactly that. Nobody can shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater. No other exceptions to this rule are allowed, period, no matter how good the intent. We'll call this one the McCain Mutiny amendment.

Gee, with radical thoughts like these, in print, I can almost hear the Gestapo at my door, wondering where I got these dangerous, destructive ideas.

Don't forget the most important thing...."this is not a living, breathing document."

You wouldn't have to worry about that very long. They wouldn't be able to build one. Perhaps they would feel that we owed them one or something though, and of course their courts would agree.
