    The right has NO respect for the Constitution beyond their misreading of the 2nd Amendment

    The left has no leg to stand on. They have pushed to use the federal government to usurp states rights for nearly a century. It is a truth so obvious that the route you're taking would be laughable no matter the company.

    You all have got to find a consolidated voice. And that voice must have truth to it, not a bunch of smoke and mirrors that relies on a large enough amount of retards to win.

    The left has trained its base to wave upside down flags, when not burning them, and scream chants such as, "America was never great!"

    The amount of retardation is off the charts.

    Cherry picking certain arguments for absurd retorts implying the left cares anything about America - whether economically, culturally, nationally, or as to sovereignty - only serves to add "zero integrity" next to the treason charge.

    Embrace the sell out globalist brand, and take the ride it brings. If the left's beliefs are truly noble, surely they'll have no problem owning the charge.

    I can quote you the constitution forwards and backwards, that's why lefties annoy me so much. The constitution to a conservative is the law of the land. The constitution to a leftie is a fluid document that changes at a whim.

    Reading/quoting means nothing if you don't understand what you're reading and respect ALL of it

    Lie Lie Lie.

    Obama is a Constitutional Scholar - the equivalent of a Ph.D in Constitutional Law. He was also the editor of the Harvard Law Review.

    Trump has a degree in lawns and driveways.

    The ONLY people I've ever heard diss the Constitution as a relic, were Republicans.

    I fully understand it. However, according to your posting history, you know very little.

    Maybe 0.00000001% of the right believes that. Not a great example.

    Democrats like to burn books like "Tom Sawyer" because it has the "n" word. And the left won't allow conservative speakers on college campuses. It's the left that likes to stifle free speech.

    lol. It's alright for them to do that, with neo-Nazis and KKK, making up a 100th of a percentile.

    But call all women whores in your reply, and watch them freak out.

    Their bag of tricks knows no bounds.

    No. Understanding the constitution is COMPREHENSION. Interpretation uses imagination and novelty - great for artists but not applicable to a law which must be administered impartially and with equality.

    The typical...."If you don't agree with everything I believe in, you hate America" BS the far right has touted for years.

    If you keep looking down on others, they will never look up to you. . . . To gain respect, you must show respect.

    The fact that liberals place higher value on intangible goals doesn't make them ignorant or diminish the worth of their accomplishments.

    There is absolutely zero proof that Barry is such. I'll take someone with practical experience and a history of doing great things over an "intellectual" all day long. As for lefties and the constitution, that's all they do is diss it...until they want to use it against someone.

    The fact that every single major city that lefties have had full power of for more than 3 years are devastated wastelands prove that "intangible goals" aren't achievable. Try some practical fixes instead of things like soda taxes and the like.

    You think American Nationalist is a LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE?:eekeyes:

    So, basically, we are our history? Sorry, you show a good grasp of our history but it isn't who we are. That might suffice for many European smaller nations that really have little else besides their language to distinguish them from others but no, that won't do for us. Just as Russia is not its geography our history MANIFESTS who we are, but it is not who we are itself.

    We define something mainly by saying what makes it different from everything else so let's look at what is different about American History, what event in our origin and throughout most of our entire story is different from almost everybody? What one event above all others made America the greatest and most powerful nation in the world that we are today?

    The answer is that America alone was populated by the largest migration of people in the history of the Earth. Between 1800 and 1924 something like 25 million people came to America, and that is a larger mass movement than any that went before in the entire history of the planet Earth, larger than the Volkenvandervung (sp?) of early medieval times which shaped Europe, larger in fact than what had been the entire human population at any one time for millenia to about 1700. Jefferson thought it would take a thousand years to fully settle the vastness of just the Louisiana Purchase. We did that and more by 1900

    America IMO is the most diverse nation on earth and the most successful because we are the most multicultural. We, above all others, are a Nation of Nations and a land of immigrants. In no other place on Earth is it considered polite to ask "what nationality are you?" but it is one of the first things we want to know about someone. In America alone we can say that except for a really very small minority we have all come from somewhere else.

    And it is our Constitution that allows us all to live together. A document which tells us how we can all form a polity and yet remain free as individuals. It is, IMO and that of many scholars, a sublime instrument of transcendent genius, the greatest manifestation what may still be the greatest period of intellectual attainment in the human experience, The Enlightenment.

    Do you agree? or do you think that something else besides a multicultural society under our Constitution defines America and should be seen as the essence of American Nationalism?

    To claim the "left" has not been interesting in the US Constitution is insulting and presumptuous ....... and very Trumpish.

    At least we know now you're not pretending to be a female. You should write a book. You're professor material.
