Also, it’s a shame the Founding Fathers didn’t think of a way to modify the constitution as the nation evolved
If this is sarcasm, well done. Thanks to leftist ideology, the nation devolved. The Founding Fathers had intended to base the country on the immutable rule of law, and on the people maintaining religion and morality in their private lives without the need to worry about the existence of an ever-expanding central government breathing down their necks telling them how to live against their conscience and coercing them to do so.

Most definitely sarcasm. Glad you liked it. I was pointing out how staggeringly stupid most libs are when it comes to understanding governance and the origins of the nation’s governance. I honestly doubt that any of them understand the amendment process. They complain endlessly about the structure of the governance of the country, but they blithely ignore the fact that the tools for addressing their complaints are right at their fingertips.

Of course, it really matters very little because the nation slipped the constraints of constitutional law long ago. The last small bulwarks against them are the electoral college and the use of an Upper and Lower House with different apportionment methods. If we ever lose those, we are doomed to be enslaved by the urban “elites.”

As you point out, the founders did not foresee many things including the emergence of communism and the constant threat it is against our nation, how it insidiously captures the minds of unthinking people and makes them “fellow travelers,” their evil methods of taking over the institutions and eating away at the soul of our nation, the failure of the people to maintain religion and morality, the expansion of federal government without any restraints, the enslavement of people by that government, the diminution of state governments, the emergence of a rapidly growing islamist cult antithetical to the well-being of American, the rise of parties, and the rise of gigantic corporations that call the shots in Washington rather than the People.
