The election is over and in less than 1460 days we will be holding another one to determine the next four years. There has been a shift in the public’s opinion. That shift will not change the next election without an educated voter. The next election will not stop high taxes, the next election will not stop government officials from interfering in state affairs, the next election will not give the country term limits, the next election will not give the country fiscal restraint.
...and in my humble opinion neither will a COS. A very good friend once made the comparison to the Ten Commandments. When God saw his children having trouble living the ten, did he then issue the eleventh?
Hmmm, our 1787 Constitution was written in stone by perfect men?
No, God did not issue an eleventh. But He did trust us to have good sense and understand what a COS will do. Are you not tired of the corruption? How about regulations? Or do you think the Fed Gov’t will willingly let go of the power it has claimed? If you do, I have some desert property in the Keys to sell you. And the COS movement is a God given movement. You’ll see that this time next year.
The flaw in that argument is that there have been 17 amendments besides the Bill of Rights already.
To have your perfect constitution back we would have to repeal all 17, which a COS could do.
“Some men look at constitutions with sanctimonious reverence, and deem them like the arc of the covenant, too sacred to be touched. They ascribe to the men of the preceding age a wisdom more than human, and suppose what they did to be beyond amendment. I knew that age well; I belonged to it, and labored with it. It deserved well of its country. It was very like the present, but without the experience of the present”
