Why do liberals hate the constitution so much?

They simply don't know history. Religion is a great point to be made. I think they would be shocked and amazed to find out that when the Constitution was signed and began ratification, many states had official religions. The First Amendment was to guarantee the states that the Federal government would not override their official religion.

Thomas Jefferson emphasized this in the Kentucky Accords in 1798 stating the first word in the 1st Amendment was "Congress", meaning it was a state's affairs, not a federal affair.

The list goes on and on.

It's been going on for about 100 years now, and without educating intent of the wording of the Constitution by the actual words of those who wrote the document, and the arguments against it, as best put forward in my opinion by The Federalist Papers, The Anti-Federalist Papers, and other source documents from those time, the meaning is lost and the document becomes a "living document" with no meaning except that which someone says it has, rather than what it says and is meant and explained by those who wrote it.

Edit

I see I got a thumbs down.

Guess they know better what the Constitution means as opposed to the people who actually WROTE it meant.

how are liberals supporting the constitution when they want to change most of it?

The first amendment protects the rights of the people from infringement by the government. It says nothing about ones fellow citizens.

Wow.

You do realize that it is not a violation of your Free Speech if someone responds to you, right?

As long as what you say is VERBAL, and when they respond to you they only do in a VERBAL way, than your Free Speech was not violated.

They can hate Christians, just so long as they don't ban Christianity. And for the record, they don't hate Christians. Christians are great, and I am a Christian Democrat who finds himself quite accepted by the Democrat Party. What they work against is the Religious Right trying to force Christianity onto anyone who doesn't want it.

The Religious Right has gone against both Jesus and the Constitution by trying to FORCE their beliefs on anyone who is not a white male Christian. Not all Christianity has failed here, just the Religious Right. Jesus Himself said we were to use reason and scripture, not law and force, to show others why they should WANT to be Christians, and then let them make their own decision.

But the Religious Right is instead trying to make Christianity the law, and Christian beliefs the only way that can be lived. That goes against the Constitution, and more importantly against Jesus.

If anyone ever tries to make you get gay-married, you have a case then. I'll back you at that point. But right now gay people just want a secular marriage that is called a marriage, not to force you to marry them or to be in a gay marriage. So you have no case for violation of Religious Freedom.

They, however, do have a case for you violating their right to be equal and free of discrimination.

Again, they can CALL Fox News whatever they want. You can CALL MSNBC and CNN whatever you want. It doesn't even have to be true, you can just say they are fake and so can they. You can respond to them, and they can respond to you. As long as it all remains verbal, there is no violation of anything. It goes physical, then the law can (and is in fact required) to step into it.

Again, they can attack Tea Parties verbally, and you can attack anti-war protests verbally; just not physically. You cannot fight with them, you cannot kill them, and they cannot do either to you.

No one's rights, except those of gay people (and that is you guys doing that one), has been violated.

Aside from the fairness doctrine (which most liberals don't appear to support precisely because it is unconstitutional), you didn't cite one single example of liberals trying to strip anyone of their constitutional rights. Yes, some liberals had some nasty things to say about the tea party protests, but I didn't hear any of them say that those protests shouldn't be allowed. Yes, they rail against Fox, but I haven't heard any of them claim that Fox should be forcibly taken off the air. Yes, some of them are very critical of Obama's detractors, but they're simply making use of their first amendment rights in the same way that Obama's critics are. Your right to free speech doesn't include a right to not be criticized for your views.

They not only do NOT, but they've spent over TWO CENTURIES

risking their lives to defend that document and the body of law and

the precedents which underpin it.

Have you ever read the Constitution of the United States? How many key cases can you cite and quote?

Your ravings indicate you have NOT read that document or the

vast body of literature which support it.

Your rant drips of hatred. But worse, your "examples" are primarily fantasies. "Anti-war protests" haven't seen much scuffing of skin

since the early 70's, and even if rude things might've been said here and there about your "teabagging" pals, no one impeded their right to gather and protest.

And Fox twists and spins and, if we're talking about Hannity, lies quite frequently. The recent absurd attempt to claim that Fascist and Nazi movements, historically, were "liberal" and "left wing" flies not only in the face of all the scholars and researchers, but is a bold-faced fraud.

And that's just THIS WEEK. Other twists are endless.

So my friend, you need to read some books.

Lots of books.

And I'd suggest a logic course.

But most of all, reading a good, solid Constitutional Law book would be an epiphany for you.

Jefferson was a man "of liberal mind" and he had a great deal to do with those early documents.

Reading--and not internet trollling--might unveil a great many facts and ideas with which you are obviously unfamiliar.

Oh, honey, calm down. We're the ones defending the Constitution.

Would you support an organization that has as its mission statement "the guardian of liberty, working in the nation's courts, legislatures and communities to defend and preserve individual working rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the United States"?

Great, then join the ACLU.

It interferes with their ability to enact socialism, communism, dictatorships, and tyrany.

Perhaps the more they discredit and marginalize it, the more successful our dear leader chairman MOU-bama will be as he pushes forward with his unconstitutional agenda.

Dude, if that is the way you see America you really have to put down the Oxycontin Kool Aid and turn off your AM radio once in a while and check out what is going on in real life.

Liberals want control--freedom is a 4 letter word to them.
