According to liberals, the U.S. constitution is outdated.

The U.S. governing system was designed by our forefathers to allow for amending laws so that as things change, future generations could add or modify as they see fit. Progression of mankind is a must. Ergo, our laws governing ourselves must change too. What was acceptable/unacceptable 200 years ago is largely no longer relevant today.

We aren't following laws anymore--that's the only way to bring on communism.

Who decides that we're not following them?

H. G. Wells. When the Sleeper Wakes 1898-1899

The franchises had been broadened until it included masses of ignorant men, 'urban myriads,' who went in their featureless thousands to vote together. And the natural consequence of a swarming constituency is the rule of the party organisation. Power was passing even in the Victorian time to the party machinery, secret, complex, and corrupt. Very speedily power was in the hands of great men of business who financed the machines. A time came when the real power and interest of the Empire rested visibly between the two party councils, ruling by newspapers and electoral organisations— two small groups of rich and able men, working at first in opposition, then presently together."

Any organisation that became big enough to influence the polls became complex enough to be undermined, broken up, or bought outright by capable rich men. Socialistic and Popular, Reactionary and Purity Parties were all at last mere Stock Exchange counters, selling their principles to pay for their electioneering. And the great concern of the rich was naturally to keep property intact, the board clear for the game of trade.

And this spreading usurpation of the world was so dexterously performed— a proteus— hundreds of banks, companies, syndicates, masked the Council's operations— that it was already far advanced before common men suspected the tyranny that had come. The Council never hesitated, never faltered. Means of communication, land, buildings, governments, municipalities, the territorial companies of the tropics, every human enterprise, it gathered greedily. And it drilled and marshalled its men, its railway police, its roadway police, its house guards, and drain and cable guards, its hosts of land-workers. Their unions it did not fight, but it undermined and betrayed and bought them. It bought the world at last.

So the magnificent dream of the nineteenth century, the noble project of universal individual liberty and universal happiness, touched by a disease of honour, crippled by a superstition of absolute property, crippled by the religious feuds that had robbed the common citizens of education, robbed men of standards of conduct, and brought the sanctions of morality to utter contempt, had worked itself out in the face of invention and ignoble enterprise, first to a warring plutocracy, and finally to the rule of a supreme plutocrat. His Council at last had ceased even to trouble to have its decrees endorsed by the constitutional authorities,...

You have found a transcript of the EU legislation.
Some of the laws even go back a thousand year.
All residents shall bathe every Saturday night.

In Scandinavian countries, Saturday is called "lördag," or laurdag, the name being derived from the old word laugr/laug (hence Icelandic name Laugardagur), meaning bath, thus Lördag equates to bath-day. This is due to the Viking practice of bathing on Saturdays.

I'm sure that Drumpf knows about this:)

...as it is purely in the eyes of the ruling class. And the only beholder that matters today is the ruling class. And the ruling class is now changing them at will.

Do you really think Trump isn't part of this ruling class?

Why do you expect Trump to improve the economy?

Several organisations have looked at his business performance and declared him, unsuccessful, one of them saying, if he had invested the money he inherited he would be at least twice as rich today.

And if you look at my post 1774827 and read the link you will see that he also does not seem to doesn’t understand the difference between a projected budget shortfall and a budget deficit. And yet you seem to think he can improve the US finances. I think that is very wishful thinking.

But if that is your opinion then so be it. But if it comes true I hope you able to suffer the consequences. Quietly.

The majority of AMERICAN CITIZENS believe the whole can needs to kicked over in Washington and the professional politicians(read pathological liars and felonious thieves) run out of town.

I would much rather that be accomplished by a Capitalist Pig than by either of the Socialist/Communist/Idiots running from the left.

There are SO MANY shining examples of the wonderful lives enjoyed by those living in Socialist societies......N. Korea, Nicaragua, Cuba...and all the advances made in technology and medicine in those vaunted venues.........

Where did I say that?

Your support for him suggested you thought he possessed the appropriate ideology to move this country back to where you think it belongs.

Well, your selective reading (as many others in here do) suggests you're going to disagree with me no matter what I say.

I think your selective interpretation of my opinions makes you think I'm going to disagree with you no matter what you say. I used to agree with a few things you said in the past before you erased it all. I even still agree with a few things you say need to change. I simply disagree with your method and your political position.

Guy has always, from his first moment here, tried to turn those not in 100% complete agreement with him into an enemy. And Trump will probably do the same. Call Obama a dictator and then cry out for some other authoritarian to undo his work. Ironic.

Gary, I'm fully aware of all the ridiculous laws *still on the book.* You're just highlighting the fact that our ruling class is too busy trying to usurp power away from the people and one of the ways to do this is to *selectively* enforce the laws on the books since the laws are interpreted in their eyes only.

Ruling class? Sorry. These laws are the laws "reserved to the states OR THE PEOPLE." The ruling class is smarter than to pass this crap. No, only the people a/k/a "the commies" pass laws like these.

Or are you saying the people are the ruling class?

<ed>And isn't Drumpf a populist, a reflection of "the people" a/k/a "the commies."
