Do you support the Constitution?

[AggieforPaul]

Or do you see it as merely a tool to be used as a stepping stone on the way to even less government than authorized under the Constitution?

[Kludge]

I support the Constitution when the Constitution supports me.

[heavenlyboy34]

Just a stepping stone.

[literatim]

I support it.

[Conza88]

I support it's use as a rhetorical tool in an age of manufactured consent. See: Dr. Ron Paul

I'd prefer the United States to dissolve, but in the meantime, I prefer the US government to be limited by its existing constitution.

[South Park Fan]

Stepping stone, if that is possible.

The constitution authorizes theft, so no, I don't support it, although it would be a heck of a lot better than what we have now.

[Standing Like A Rock]

I would be ok with a government as the constitution tells us it should be because at least it is legal, however I would prefer a government more like one under the Articles of Confederation.

On the other hand, in light of my recent thinking in http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=201547 ...

A government truly limited by the US Constitution could probably not brankrupt itself out of existence, as is my desire.

So I guess I would support the US Constitution with a an amendment guaranteeing every American the right to a Congressional gold medal :D

I can see the appeal of Minimalism, but I don't think it can work in the widescale.

I'm more entitled to the idea of a loose structure of city-states or regions united under a common cause of defense but otherwise controlling their own affairs. Much like the Ancient Greek model.

That's how the Constitution was supposed to work. In fact, it even says so:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government . . ."


Unfortunately, the Constitution's claws are no sharper than the people's.
