Exactly the problem. Liberals don't think; they emote. They let irrational "feelings" control their thoughts and behaviors.

So let us liberals see how YOU think. Is the US Constitution worth defending anymore? Since you've accepted a role to agree with the ditto head who is at least upfront about suggesting that the document is too old to be taken seriously.

Still laughing?
Yes, I am still laughing.
USA is a republic, not a monarchy.
Or are you perhaps calling your president a dictator?

Well, Obama is trying to be a dictator, but has not quite yet succeeded in becoming one.

Yep. It very specifically limits the powers of the federal government.

It actually does quite a bit more than just limit powers. It also defines them. But, that isn't the point of my concern, but your demonstrated ditto-headedness with someone who believes it is an outdated document.
