All we can do is maintain our integrity and vote.
I agree with you 110%. I consider myself a liberal because I am a constitutionalists. This means that I support and believe in the constitution as the backbone of our country's greatness.
Republicans have been trying to destroy it for years and are constantly opposed to court rulings that uphold it.
A couple examples:
- abortion was made legal based on the 1st amendment where a person has a right to privacy concerning what happens to their body. That is why it is considered 'choice'.
- prayer in public schools was not allowed based on the 4th amendment where no one religion can be given more value than another nor funded by tax dollars
You see, I, being a constitutionalist, will accept any ruling the US Supreme Court decides. I do this because I believe that constitution is the core of our value system.
Republicans believe in accepting the civil liberties given to them in the constitution but reject the ones they don't like or don't agree with.
It's the very typical Republican double standard.

I think you're confused. Liberals think of the constitution as a "living document" that can mean anything (Liberal activist) judges say it means. Conservatives believe that the constitution should be strictly interpreted and changed only through the amendment process.

Liberals do have their uses, Preserving the Constitution is not an example. Abiding by it is not what Libs do. The 2ND amendment is and example of where the Libs want to forget the Constitution was ever wrote.

I desire liberals ought to embody reality. you will see that , by making use of ways many answer, questions, that they ignore what you and others ask ... They communicate about what they prefer, no longer in reality turning the question in yet another direction , yet in many circumstances about issues that dont actually have some thing to do with teh question. all the worlds a level for his or her agendas, and their personal version of reality. info is basically what they prefer to look at, condemning in reality who they prefer at the same time as they prefer. maximum dont have a answer to any situation, clone of lots of the leaders they save on with. Their time table is determined by making use of conservatives.. quickly as a conservative contraptions an time table they merely take that particular same situation interior the different direction. So yea... reality... look at it.. renowned.. even if you wont embody it. ( to the few liberals with a mind accessible... this wasnt directed at you in accordance to se... merely maximum folk of libs )

that is why liberals are always trying to put false modifications or look into the life of jefferson to figure out the 2nd adment. they are easy to understand - just read them and take from it only what it says. If the founding fathers wanted you to analye anybody's life to come up with the meaning they would have added that in there.

You can get it back by voting, using your brains. (Not you specifically, but all Americans.) I am not an American but I am very concerned about the way American politics is going because everyone in the world is at risk when the crazies take power.

yes, you are so oppressed.
i would like to congratulate you on being the first whining liberal to actually suggest finding a way to do something about what you are whining about.
