Are you a Constitutionalist or an Anarchist?

[Brassmouth]

Rebellion is unconstitutional.

One of the many reasons why the constitution is invalid.

 

[acptulsa]

Rebellion is unconstitutional.

Nonsense. The first amendment guarantees the right to be rebellious. Every election is set up to be a potential rebellion.

 

[mczerone]

It says we are fucked.

So go get fucked, then.

You force initiating, collective thinking, freedom hater.


RPFs will be just left with people who are willing to defend everybody's Liberties, instead of those few Liberties that align with what you seem to care about.

 

[rp08orbust]

Rebellion is unconstitutional.

Nothing in the Constitution proscribes secession though.

 

[Dr.3D]

Rebellion is unconstitutional.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

From the Declaration of Independence.

 

[mczerone]

Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist.

Cool. And why? Because as a member of the fedgov, he must seek to control it with the most effective means, a document that they all swear an oath to.

As I've said before, a Constitutional government would be a great first step, but it would just devolve again into the monolith of today.

the only place you and your dickbreath companions are going is prison or the cemetery. Your philosophy is a literal dead end.

You're assuming they can make it out from in front of their televisions. If they're actually convinced they can get any level of popular support, then they obviously don't get out very often. So, don't worry about them too much...

 

[Scofield]

Nonsense. The first amendment guarantees the right to be rebellious. Every election is set up to be a potential rebellion.

The Constitution is a piece of paper. The First Amendment is a recommendation, one our government no longer follows.

Go ahead and rebel, I'm sure your obituary will be well written. I'm sure a few people will skim over it on their way to the funnies.

I am quite impressed with the poll results, for awhile I thought there was only like 3 of us.

[Stary Hickory]

Constitutionalist.

 

[Pod]

The French went into anarchy after the French Revolution. How did that go?

Oh yeah, Napoleon rose to power.

No thank you.

Fail.

After the revolution they had a constitutional monarchy followed by a constitutional republic.

So if you want to avoid Napoleon rising to power it is constitutional republic you should steer clear from.

 

[Theocrat]

You Must Have Failed World History

Fail.

After the revolution they had a constitutional monarchy followed by a constitutional republic.

So if you want to avoid Napoleon rising to power it is constitutional republic you should steer clear from.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The French Revolution was indeed an attempt to establish anarchy within society, especially by killing the clergy during the "Reign of Terror."

 

[acptulsa]

Fail.

After the revolution they had a constitutional monarchy followed by a constitutional republic.

So if you want to avoid Napoleon rising to power it is constitutional republic you should steer clear from.

Fail. Napoleon was the monarch in their constitutional monarchy. The constitutional republic was enacted to replace them when the French got sick of Napoleonic bullshit.

So, if you want to avoid Napoleon rising to power you should go straight to the constitutional republic without intermediate steps.

 

[Pod]

That is something called a revolution.

I`m afraid it`s actually called the GULAG.

 

[Young Paleocon]

Fail. Napoleon was the monarch in their constitutional monarchy. The constitutional republic was enacted to replace them when the French got sick of Napoleonic bullshit.

So, if you want to avoid Napoleon rising to power you should go straight to the constitutional republic without intermediate steps.

Actually both fail: 1793-1799-Jacobins institute the Committee on Public Safety and begin the centralization of France and the first nation wide communistic regime in history, then the Directory is instituted. Napoleon becomes First Consul and then Emperor after that.

It seems to me the Constitution has failed stupendously at limiting government, and now only serves as a pretense of legitimacy for the criminal gang operating out of Washington, D.C.

That the Original Intent could be so far maligned makes me wonder if the entire concept of restraining 'authority' is unrealistic.

It's not the Constitution which has changed. It is the hearts of the people who do not understand and utilize the Constitution which has led to the failure of limiting government. Blaming the Constitution on failing to limit the government is like blaming guns for failing to protect murder victims.

I'm an anarchist, but I hold fears that if we had a true anarchy, a new government would rise up. Our current government has the potential to be small enough. If we had an anarchy, and it was taken over, the odds that it would be weaker then our Constitution are basically zero.
