4,5, and 6, but definitely would consider implementing the other ones

#6 would be a violation of the 1st amendment. Is the 1st amendment an "antiquated piece of trash" just like you think the 2nd amendment is?

You know who REALLY thought the Constitution was trash?

... the Confederates.

Why did the care so much about the Tenth Amendment then? The Confederates were trying to break away from the tyrannical government in Washington because Washington didn't care about the Constitution including their Tenth Amendment rights.


The 10th amendment does not give states the right to secede .  The fact is the confederates are the biggest TRAITORS in our nations history .


If you support the confederacy that means you dislike this nation in my opinion and should never claim to be patriotic ever again . People like Yellowhammer at least have told the truth that they dislike this nation

LOL. Literally nobody argued secession was legal because of the Tenth Amendment in 1861. Most Confederate politicians agreed secession was illegal, they just didn't care, because their right to continue buying and selling human beings was more important to them. You should read the actual secession ordinances published by the Confederate states instead of parroting ahistorical talking points invented decades after the war to justify a failed rebellion.

(Also, LOL at implying Tom is part of the "radical left.")

It is a common misconception that the Confederacy is about slavery. That is simply not the case. It's about state rights and reducing the power of the federal government. I do not support slavery, but I don't support massive bureaucratic federal governments either. A confederate system is far more efficient and allows states to be more tailored to the desires of the people of those states.

So you dont support the constitution either , because it replaced the prior articles of confederation

Heh, the U.S. would most likely not have survived if the Articles of Confederation remained intact. It was "efficient" all right, if you wanted to have a bunch of separate countries emerging eventually.

At least people like Yellowhammer admitted thats what he would have preferred, but TheRealRight seems to want to have it both ways
