If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.
Yesterday, my husband and I voted. Last night we had family over for dinner and, we watched the election returns. I didn't vote for our new president. The reason is because I've read the constitution and our new president believes in instituting change that is not sanctioned by our founding document. Our founding fathers were brilliant. The constitution does not need to be changed. It espouses freedom and individual liberty without trampling on the rights of others. The constitution does not guarantee that we will not fail but, if some assume that it does, we as a nation will dig a deeper hole for ourselves. My country owes me nothing, nor to anyone else, but to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote (not provide for) the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
To be continued......

Though our Constitution is possibly the greatest document in history, it does need to be changed. As our country grows and the world becomes smaller we need to adjust our way of life. We have needs that our Founding Fathers couldn't imagine. They did, however, anticipate the need for our Constitution to change. No, not President Elect Obama's change, but through Amendments. I think it's hard to disagree that our Constitution was changed for the better when we added the first 10. The majority of voters, including the fraudulent ACORN ones, have shown they don't want the America of the past. They want U.A.S.R. (Union of American Socialist Republics). Do I have to wait until 2012 before I see America, that true Americans love, again?
I agree that it has been necessary to amend certain aspects but, I believe that any change MUST fall within the confines of the preamble.
