When the Constitution was written women and Black people couldn't vote. Would you go back to that?

Hey, I say we really go back to basics and revert the @nd Amendment to include only muzzle-loading muskets, you know, keep it real and authentic, just like the Founding fathers would...


...and, say, I've heard that old woman down the lane 'consorts' with farm animals... I wonder if she floats...?...

Guys… You’re yelling at me! I didn’t make the constitution. The forefathers did. And they were pretty smart dudes. They formed this country in fear of being killed.

Now I get it, to people like you that love Biden, a racist idiot, and that’s your right, it sounds extreme. Most of you are probably from another country And don’t get it, and that’s ok. This country is still in its experimental stages. But in this country we have to ensure the right people are voting, because our forefathers demanded it.

And the Capitol Hill being taken over, was written in the articles for the purpose of the people being able to change, alter or abolish the government.

The United States of America is formed on the idea that the people who live in it and are rightful citizens can change it however they please. Even by force if necessary. But in order for those people to decide, they need to be citizens here! That was absolutely fundamental. In one way the forefathers figured, especially since they were so concerned about owning property, was to give that right to property owners only. Not certain groups of people, not certain races, not certain sexual preferences, to land owners.

In order to be a property owner, you have to strive to be better than what you are. That means going out working, working many jobs, striving to be better every single day. Not depending on the government, not depending on mommy and daddy, not just being a waitress but a waitress that is going to be better each and every day. The forefathers were absolutely fixated about property being the centralization of the country. That’s why it’s highly protected in the constitution.

[bstanko6]

And just to clarify one point for my statement above, the idea of working hard was absolutely ideal to the forefathers. They were all about small government. But you can’t have a small government when there’s millions on welfare. Which is why I talk like this. I’m not saying people don’t need welfare, or help, but that was never intended by the forefathers. Big government is a no-no in this country. But we’ve gone so far from their wishes that is actually hurting us.

Shh, quiet!...

...Poor Mitch McConnell worries about that all the time and doesn't need to be reminded of yet another problem for declining GOP voter counts...

What you do with "your" constitution is not my business (I believe others here might want to object, as they think "their" constitution should be the same as yours but it feels somewhat differently).

remind me: where did the orange man get his wealth from? again?

That's not accurate. In order to be a property owner you just need enough money to buy the property. That money doesn't have to be earned. It can be inherited, won, stolen or any number of other non-working ways of getting it.

Many Chinese own property in the US. Aren't they vested then?

[Rockstar]

Correct me if I'm wrong but if Trump is found guilty by the Senate he loses any protections of his former office and susceptible to criminal prosecution. As my mind was wandering and pondering over the possibilities. I wondered if he would pull a Snowden and flee to Russia.

Not unless they are US citizens.

[Buddahaid]

I realize that but that wasn't postulated as a requirement so I played devil's advocate.
