Let me tell you about our Constitution.

SInce we're getting facts straight I thought I would interject a bit. Only three men stood against the Constitution without a Bill of Rights, Elbridge Gerry, George Mason and Thomas Jefferson (in a letter form France to James Madison). However Elbridge was no Anti-federalist - he whole heartily supported Hamilton and his ideas. He just understood what a governent could do to the people without a proper leash.

George Mason penned them himself. Without his hustling on it, we have been denied the chance to watch incredible principles erode away before our very eyes.
 
“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.” -Lysander Spooner

I used to be the "SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION" kind of guy a couple of years ago, but Spooner states my view now quite well.

The powerlessness of the Constitution cannot be blamed on the document itself but the people who were supposed to defend it.

Generation after generation we slowly started to take all of it for granted and forgot that liberty must be fought for every generation.
