Of course. I know nothing of the subject, after all, so I have no position.

I think an Amendment to change CNN to the 'War Channel' should be included....

Hurrah! And an amendment limiting the amount of free coffee and donuts. Seriously, I don't mind paying taxes on a $20,000 hammer, but buying coffee from Starbucks last week alone for the entire White House staff put the U.S. another 2 trillion into debt.

The Homeland Security act is bad enough. Conservitives would destroy what few rights we have left if a constitutional Convention were called. Omega moves up a few notches on the THEM list.
How about ringing in on that one First of Two? Want to call a convention?

That can't be all bad. Maybe they'll reinstate the Order of Templar Knights into the army. Like, Texas Rangers in white uniforms with maltesian crosses. And a Document of Certificate in their breast pocket, explaining how they'll get into paradise if they die by the hands of the Saracen's infidel cousin, the Iraqi.

And how do you derrive that...
Bang goes that whole pesky separation of Church & state thing, for one.
...and that, from anything I have ever said? Oh, wait. You can't. You're just pulling them out of your respective asses.

Sounds more like it's based simply on a knowledge of conservative politicians. I hate to break it to you, but, were a constitutional convention held, you would have little to absolutely no personal effect on its outcome.

conservitives would have the utility workers spying on everyone. And we'd need numbers on our skin, to make it easy to keep track of all the liberals.
If the liberals were in charge, and the convention was called, it would be just as bad. Political correctness could become law. Either way, Constitutional Convention=Bad.
As for Vogy's comment. They don't call it the religios right for nothing.
Can you imagine trying to make this a one god only country? Or forceing schools to teach Creation. United Soviet States of America.
USSA does have a nice ring to it.
We have a constitution that has stood the test of time. It doesn't need to change, we need to change. The only real fault I have with it is that it didn't free slaves from the start. It took four years of war, and thousands of dead men for that to happen.
In case you can't tell, I don't think very highy of either side.

Yes, all... eight of them. Or perhaps we should start characterizing all liberals as being exactly like the dozen or so women who cheer over the million or two murders of unborn children every year?

Um... no. No. And further, no. That's just paranoia, plain and simple.
We have a constitution that has stood the test of time. It doesn't need to change, we need to change.
Except that times have changed. Are you suggesting we should just eliminate air travel all together? High-speed communications? Just so we can change circumstances back to what the Constitution was designed to fit?
