The Constitution is the longest living documented form of government in world history. Take away that and you take away American pride.

It is not just a piece of paper, man. History and war have been fought over this Constitution. This isn't a matter of who's trying to do away or save it.

Instead, it's a matter of preserving a document that has made this country one of the top nations in the world and significantly one of the most strongest.

"We the people..." This is why the U.S. is even here today.

Considering Bush, on the State House floor, referred to the Constitution as a "God damn piece of Paper". And Alberto Gonzalez referred to it as an outdated document, I'd say you have the wrong party. Also lets not forget the Warrant-less wiretaps on U.S. Citizens a violation of the 4th and 14th amendments of the Constitution.

in my opinion, men and women have shed their blood and died for the words in that document, not some of them, all of them. To change, or dilute the meaning of those words does a great disservice to them and all of us. The words were written and have stood for over 225 years and have led us to be the greatest most powerful, influential and eclectic and diverse country the world has ever know. I wouldn't change a single word, or "re-define" any of it it. It stands in tact, as written or it stands for nothing. period.

that "piece of paper" as you call it is the very reason why we ALL can come here and voice our opinions.lots of us Americans ,democrats and republicans,still believe in the Constitution and that is why we are willing to fight and die for what it represents,this country is not perfect,but even with all of it's faults I would never live anywhere else.

So you would rather have the Constitution replaced with some form of fascism/police state as some conservatives seem to prefer?

Liberals, by definition, aren't big into preserving existing institutions, they prefer change - tearing up, amending, or, at the very least, re-interpreting the Constitution would be more thier style.

Liberals only use the Constitution if it favors them. Look at free speech, they want to shut down talk radio even though they tell us that conservatives support censorship.
Both parties could do a better job of following the Constitution.

Ha ha ha ha ha!! Oh, man - you are so damned funny! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Spare me, Skippy. It's the LEFT who is trying to take my gun away - which is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. Don't believe me? Do a search for Dianne Feinstein, quotes, gun control. Certainly an obvious genius such as yourself can recognize that Dianne is a very prominent Democratic leader.

Or how about freedom of speech? Look at how the far-left liberidiots treat INVITED conservative speakers at universities all over this country. Why are they so very afraid of the other side being heard?

Don't quit your fast food job, Skippy.

Edit: I have repeatedly asked the left for a CREDIBLE source that shows Bush called the Constitution a damned piece of paper, but there isn't one. Even a far-left media watchdog group says it's a BS story, yet it is commonly accepted as "fact" by some of the liberidiots on YA. It's a pretty frightening - and amazing - testament to the power of the Internet.

Liberals wanted to use the Constitution in their issues so that people will believe in their platform.

The liberals are not trying to save the Constitution. They're trying to shave it to fit their own short-term, poll-ridden agenda. The Constitution is the foundation of our country. Why would you want to melt the foundation? We'd have chaos.
