‘We the People’ Loses Appeal With People Around the World
By ADAM LIPTAK
Published: February 6, 2012

Sure, it is the nation’s founding document and sacred text. And it is the oldest written national constitution still in force anywhere in the world. But its influence is waning.

In 1987, on the Constitution’s bicentennial, Time magazine calculated that “of the 170 countries that exist today, more than 160 have written charters modeled directly or indirectly on the U.S. version.”

A quarter-century later, the picture looks very different. “The U.S. Constitution appears to be losing its appeal as a model for constitutional drafters elsewhere,” according to a new study by David S. Law of Washington University in St. Louis and Mila Versteeg of the University of Virginia......................>>>>......................>>>>................................http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02.....-the-world.html?_r=1

The NYT always gives us such an honest fair unbiased appraisal of the situation.

The communist manifesto?


The lawmakers of this country, in either party, have perverted the constitution so much that it bears little resemblance to the desires, dreams, intent and ideals of the founding fathers.

Ya can't continue to run a country on this constitution when the goal is to be eaten up by the globalist.

The constitution is probably the only thing left between the U.S.'s sovereignty and being swallowed up in socialist globalization.

Ron Paul is the only one still holding tight to the constitution!

We the...ah,,,,ah,,,,uh,,,um....ahhhh,,,,,yeah, I've lost interest


that's our new American Creed.....thank you 'reality TV',,,we now have a REAL solid foundation for our nation.....we should be proud


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.


STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
