Anyone who likes it hates America and the founding fathers and Jesus. I'm an American originalist. Articles of confederation, bitch!

I'm an Australian so don't really know much about your Constitution. But isn't it what America's moral, ethical, and sociological identity is built upon?
I don't mean to offend if I'm completely wrong.

No, you're thinking of money, although I can understand the confusion.

Hahaha. Yeah, that is soooo right.
But seriously - Why do you hate it so much?

Don't let User confuse you. He likes to be contradictory  Sad thing is that we are moving further and further away from the constitution. Soon it will be nothing more than a few words on a really old paper that means nothing to the majority of people. |

You should see the video fetured in the "Das Politiks" thread. I really think it has a bearing upon this very subject.

I'm not being contradictory. I'm out originaling the originalists.

I love the US Constitution. It's always amazed me how much I could love the Constitution, yet loathe and despise everything the nation it belonged to did and stood for on the international stage.
You've just explained that to me now.
I thank you.

I think he's referring to the fact that the Articles of Confederation were never retired, and the Constitution was created and ratified illegally. This is true. Washington convened what was called an Article 10 Committee of the States, under the Articles. They then created the Constitution and ratified it; the problem is that an Article 10 COS didn't have the power to do that. All changes to the AOC had to be unanimous among the states....
