What do Barack Hussein Obama and Rick Perry have in common? They both want to change the constitution. Perry and Obama are two sides of the same coin.

This is the man who lecturers on family values and wants to ban homosexuality! Rick Perry is a hypocrite of the first order.

Don't we also want to change the constitution? Repeal the 16th and 17th amendment and add a balanced budget amendment?

The only difference is that the 16th & 17th A are not part of the Bill of Rights. Not so sure about Perry, but Obama wants to eradicate, targetting in particular the 2nd A, the entire Bill of Rights.

There's no problem with changing the Constitution, as long as it is done properly (and the only constitutional way), through an amendment that is passed properly... changing it by way of spurious interpretation or Supreme Court rulings, as has been mostly done throughout US history, is unacceptable.

I had a thought the other day... PLEASE don't let this turn into a religious debate. It was merely an observation.

Bush, and now Perry (among others), profess a belief in the bible. At times even a fundamentalism type belief. Yet, these same people consider the Constitution "just a goddamned piece of paper". They site the Constitution as being "out of date" and "not addressing current social norms". Well, the Constitution is just over 200 years old... the bible is over 2,000 years old. I just find it a juxtaposition difficult for me to understand.

I'm down here in Texas... and lots of us really don't like Dick Parrot (that's being kind). But, at least he is proposing changing the Constitution. For decades we have had politicians and judges changing it by pretending it says something it does not. Parrot is still a dick... but at least he is suggesting we make any changes according to the Constitution... through amendments, as specified in the document.

Yeah, but i doubt we would like the amendments he puts in.
