America, we've got some bad news: Our Constitution isn't going to make it. It's had 224 years of commendable, often glorious service, but there's a time for everything, and the government shutdown and permanent-crisis governance signal that it's time to think about moving on. "No society can make a perpetual constitution," Thomas Jefferson wrote to James Madison in 1789, the year ours took effect. "The earth belongs always to the living generation and not to the dead. Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years." By that calculation, we're more than two centuries behind...

what proof do you have that any slave he procreated with did not give herself freely?

Links please...

A slave, by definition, is not free from coercion including threats against her life. What manner of scum would consider a slave master having sex with his slave not to be rape?

So, how exactly are liberals fucking over human rights and how exactly are conservatives upholding them?

Taking aside that all the evils listed above came from the Democrat party.

The Liberals, Progressive, Democrats (whatever you want to brand yourself today to hide from your deplorable past) is the party of unrestrained abortion and eugenics which eclipses all the past vile Democrat racist policies of the past. Millions of lives snuffed out with Dr. Mengele picking through the dismembered arms and legs looking for organs to sell.

How on earth can you claim Liberals are upholding "human rights" when your party is the party of killing MILLIONS and MILLIONS of unwanted babies?

Gosh. No wonder Republicans keep losing elections. It's abortion abortion abortion. Morals morals morals. God God God.
What the F is wrong with you guys? The Bible is a book written by illiterate idiots, which has already been proven wrong a million times by science, but you brainwashed wackos just don't get it.
That "like" was supposed to be a "dislike" Sorry.

This is not a 1st trimester abortion.

Most democrats, most progressives, and most liberals oppose third trimester abortions unless the mother's life is in danger. As for second trimester abortions, that's the gray area and there will always be a gray area because a fertilized egg does not become a person in a single, discrete step.

Not bad Dan. There is hope for you. Sadly, you eventually convince me there isn't every time.

Yet you have zero proof there was any coercion. You just draw conclusions and apply them to the entire populace of slaves and slave owners.
A slave master in love with a "slave in name only", and with reciprocating love from the woman, would not, by definition, force sex onto her.
By your generality below, you are stating there was never a case, given the tens of thousands of possibilities, that a slave owner and slave would not have fallen in love with each other.
Given that you have a modicum of intelligence, I find it hard to believe that you don't already know this.
So the obvious conclusion is that you just shitted out a sentence to work the insult "what manner of scum" into the conversation.
Well done, GeorgieBoy! Well done!

One doesn't have to be religious to understand that killing unborn babies for convenience is a major ethical dilemma. You only has to have a basic understanding of Science, Biology, Ethics and Law to be uneasy with this practice.

And it is not Republicans always bringing up abortion. The last 2 presidential election cycles had Obama and the Democrats running on the "War on Women" meme scaring all the Nancy-boy Democrats and the women that Republicans were going to steal their lady-parts. McCain and Romney stayed miles away from the abortion debate.

What these videos are doing is exposing the monstrous lie that people like Dan and the Democrats are still perpetuating that abortions only involved scraping out a couple cells or a cyst. Now we have leading Planned Parenthood doctors and managers on video talking about delivering live babies (infanticide) and delaying abortions to allow the baby to get bigger to better harvest the organs to sell.

Most normal people with a basic understanding of Science have major qualms about this practice and are no longer able to hide behind euphemisms of "choice" or "reproductive health".

People like Rand Paul are already turning the debate around on Democrats when he said a few months ago "Ask the DNC if it's OK to kill a 7 pound baby in the uterus".

One more idea for our new constitution: high inheritance taxes. It is very common among Republicans to argue two contradictory things:

1. everyone should rise or fall on their own efforts (meritocracy)

2. it is wrong to tax inherited wealth

But inherited wealth is the exact opposite of meritocracy

Each person should be free to pursue happiness, liberty and improve their lot in lift. The reason why the Enlightenment happened, and why Europeans got on boats was to escape the elitism (lobbyists), fifedoms (unions), pharisees (expanding corrupt government).

The fact that the regressives did an end run around the Constitution and the intent of the bill of rights, does not mean we need to overturn what is still the most progressive government foundation ever. We just need to go back to basics and overturn the power created by elitism (lobbyists), fifedoms (unions), and pharisees (expanding corrupt government).

The Progs want to ban the Bill of Rights too!

OK, so start writing! Please post your new constitution in this thread.

I have some ideas for it:

* publicly funded elections

* absolute prohibition on secret courts

* absolute prohibition on national security letters

* a right to privacy in all your electronic communication unless you are specifically named as a suspect in a crime

* specifically affirming that corporations and unions are not legal persons. only "natural born" humans are persons.

* prohibition of income tax and sales tax, to be replaced with a land value tax and tax on radio spectrum

A major forgotten idea from the Enlightenment: Authority and Power corrupts the wielder worst of all.
