First, I advocate repealing the following amendments:

–> 14th – because it was intended to protect newly-freed slaves. We are fresh out of newly-freed slaves and this amendment is now used for mischief such as so-called “anchor babies”.

–> 16th – to make way for the Fair Tax. Our current income tax system is the basis for much of the corruption in our government. The Fair Tax (or something like it) would stop the “selling of tax indulgences”.

–> 17th – the Senate was intended to represent the State legislatures and we should give the States back that portion of their authority.

Second, I advocate 2 new amendments:

–> What I call the Equality Amendment. This amendment would state quite simply that all laws, statutes, regulations, rules, etc. implemented by the Federal Government would apply equally to every citizen of the United States of America, including members of government whether elected, appointed or employed.

–> A “clarifying amendment” that would state that no branch of government may delegate or otherwise assign a power enumerated to it by the Constitution to any other branch of government or to any non-government entity, including so-called “Government Sponsored Entities”

As you note, it would require 38 states to ratify a new constitution and we have only 28 which are red or tend toward red, leaving 10 of the blue devils that must be convinced. However, this 10 includes such states as New Hampshire, New Jersey, Delaware, Iowa, Maryland, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, all of which are apt to be conservative when it is needed. This would leave very few others that need to be convinced, and, best of all, a new constitution could actually be ratified against the wishes of California, New York, Illinois and Massachusetts.

Remember, it is dumb sheeple they are having to try to talk into voting for them. Nobody likes negative campaigning; but it is what works on thoughtless sheeple. Besides, it is excellent practice for what will be coming this fall in the General campaign against the Chicago street thug. ◄Dave►

The dumb sheeple problem is serious, and I too struggle with what we might be able to do to reverse the Progressive’s deliberate course of dumbing down American children, which they have been actively engaged in for over 100 years. Indeed, for some time now, I have been nagged by my conscience that this is where my efforts toward saving our country ought to be focused. Public schooling needs to be abolished; but this decision will not come easily in this society.

In the interim, we need to encourage thoughtful parents to home school their children, and help them do so in a way that returns our Founding principles to consciousness in future generations. Sometimes, I think I should just stop trying to awaken sheeple and spend my time trying to save some of their children. ◄Dave►

Back to only land owners can vote.

Obama may not be with us in 2013. See Fox News Sunday, Jan 22nd, 9PM Eastern.

Pathetic.

To repeat my favorite bit of wisdom… no body of rules or laws is ever any better than the people who enforce them. In the case of our founding documents, the ultimate enforcer is WTS.

In just the last few days, while talking about the GOP primaries, I have heard several otherwise intelligent people exclaim, in so many words, that they simply refuse to get involved. Sadly, I am unable to convince any of them that what they are really saying is that they refuse to take responsibility for their own liberty.

The usual comeback is that their input will not matter anyway so why try? To me, that is the functional equivalent of saying that a penny has no monetary value, even though 100 million of them is a nice fortune. BTW, I find quite a number of pennies in store parking lots because some people actually throw them away.
