End the Constitution of 1789?

Should we destroy the Constitution? Is it worth much anymore? Should we call about a Constitutional Convention and break this document that has stood for over two centuries? I say, yes! The Constitution is a document that is not followed anymore and isn't something most of our leaders care much for:

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face, it’s just a goddamned piece of paper!” - George W. Bush

CNSNews.com: “Madam Speaker, where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to enact an individual health insurance mandate?”

Pelosi: “Are you serious? Are you serious?”

CNSNews.com: “Yes, yes I am.”

Pelosi then shook her head before taking a question from another reporter. Her press spokesman, Nadeam Elshami, then told CNSNews.com that asking the speaker of the House where the Constitution authorized Congress to mandated (sic) that individual Americans buy health insurance as (sic) not a “serious question.”

The Constitution that was written from 1787 to 1789 has some things not in it anymore. One of the checks upon Democratic vote was the Senate elected by the legislature rather than the people. That is gone. Another provision was no direct taxes on income.. we now have that. Gold and Silver were the only legal tender and the Congress was given the power to coin and not another. We no longer have Gold or Silver coins or backing and only worthless paper as our currency.. and not to mention a secret Central bank that is not audited and not regulated.

Our Republic was formed to unite the foreign peoples who had won their new indepdence and keep them from trade wars and European-styled deceit. It was not to make universal laws and have a powerful Central authority. This is what we have today, and it is something to fear. We ought to destroy this document and create a new. There is much to be said on this subject, but for now, I will leave you with a quote from the Market Anarachist Lysander Spooner:

“But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.”
