I happen to like them and do not want them changed. I think they are great documents that need to be kept? I happen to think that these documents are part of what makes America a great place and do not want them violated or changed. I think these rights must remain intact in order for America to retain its integirity as America.
Do both librals and conservatives and any other parties believe this? Would you like to run your life based on your choices and your values with out the interference of the Government? If yes please tell me your pollitical affilation. What I am suspecting is that many Americans want the same thing. We just want to live our lives as we see fit as individuals. Do you agreee? Is this how you feel? Conservative or Libral or Independent or Libertarian?

Yeah, but will the current administration allow this? Bush has decided that he can say whatever he wants about anything because he is the self proclaimed "decider". Personally the constution is more than a museum piece. I would like to keep it in use.

Well people say bush cannot read so every paper looks the same to him I imagine. That shows us how he really feels about us. I miss the old republicans of days past. I am a libral, but what happended to the old ones the fiscally conscious ones who believed in mimimal government involvement, liked funding schools and libraries, did not like to waste money on war. I miss them. You never know how good you had it until it is gone.

I consider myself a far left liberal. Why? Because I am a constitutionalist.
I believe in it fully.
The right to bear arms. Freedom of speech. Separation of church and state, etc... I even recently ask a question about s. of c and state because some like to argue the const. didnt really mean it. Yes it did and I gave proof.
Anyways, I consider myself a liberal democrat because of my dedication to the constitution and the civil liberties that come with it.
Bush has been quoted as saying, '... it's just a **** piece of paper' when he was once asked about the constitution.

The bill of rights and the constitution are the documents that provides for the framework of the government and the freedom of the people. Thus, the articles must be respected and put to practice.

The bill of rights is not about principle. They were not put into the constitution because people felt that it was the good thing to do.
They were put there specifically (And please read the preamble to the bill of rights.) to protect the citizens from the government. Our forefathers knew that the government could become dominated by corrupt and power hungry individuals.
They also knew that democracy was "Two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner."
The idea of liberty being a "well armed sheep."
I offer to you, patriotism is not about following your government to the end, it is not in putting your complete trust and unquestioned loyalty to your government. It is about trust and loyalty to your country.
Your country is made of people, not of politicians.
