Do we need a new Constitution?
George Soros is at it again, this time sponsering a conferance of the Elite at Yale to formulate a new Constitution with the goal of substituting it for our present Constitution in 2020..
Go through the links and see some of the proposals.....A "right" to a job "at a fair rate of pay", a "right" for a farmer to sell his products at a rate that suports his family....a "right" to have a higher education, a "right" to own a home, a "right" to health care, to name just a few.
Tell me, just HOW are these "rights" to be achieved whithout giving the government the ultimate control over every aspect of our lives?
The founding Fathers were wise in saying we have the Right to "pursue Happiness". Note that they didn't guarentee that anyone would achieve it, just that you had the right to strive for it. True success only comes through individual effort, government can never ensure equal outcomes, unless the outcome you desire is equal misery for all.
The frightening thing is that these are the people that will become our next generation of lawyers, judges, and polititians; that they could seriously debate this as a viable course of action bodes extremely ill for the Republic in the coming years. The time for the Second American Revolution may soon be upon us....and as Shakespeare suggested: "First, kill all the lawyers!", may have to become more than a cute phrase.
Now, who am I to argue with Shakespear.

Do we also get the right to own a weapons (pistols, rifles, etc.?), the right to worship and the right to free speech? or will those rights be outlawed according to this new constitution? I like the one we have now thank you.

The only guarantee in life is that we will all eventually die. Anybody who says different is trying to sell you something. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this meeting of the "minds". Can't imagine it will go down easy if they really try to introduce this piece of toilet paper as the new constitution.
