You may note that our present problems have little (not nothing) to do with poorly judged amendments, and everything to do with ignoring and/or twisting the Constitution’s wording and intent.

It is always the Lincoln Loving Butt boys that have no trouble with the bastardization of the Constitution.

In your case you are on record as saying the 16th and 17th amendments have done no harm? What?

Please work on your reading comprehension.

“little (not nothing)”

Do you seriously contend we’d be in the mess we are if the Constitution (as written) had been scrupulously followed, including the arguably poor choices of the 16th and 17th?

In any case, a true lover of the Constitution must support all amendments, since the provision for amending the Constitution is fully part of the original Constitution.

Or rather, he must support those amendments until he can get them repealed.

FYI, I sent the message below to the Moderator:

I have no idea what your policy is on this issue, but I do get tired of this gentleman’s unprovoked personal insults. It also seems inappropriate for a site dedicated to conservatism, which IMO should include a certain decree of courtesy and decorum.
