The constitution is too long.
It should have started with “Fuck you!” and ended with “Fuck you!” In the middle it should have said, “Provide for the common defense.”
The 1st Amendment should read, “Congress will make no law” and we are done.

[I had lunch with Jim. Instead of the usual gun control issues we were talking about the TSA and health care. This wasn’t even the portion of the conversation where the water I was drinking spurted out my nose.
Jim has some strong Libertarian leanings.—Joe]
I don’t like the language of the preamble or conclusion, although I certainly agree with the sentiments; thus, I like the proposed Constitution.
Anyone up for a Constitutional Convention?
I laughed out loud.
I dunno, Congress would only have to dream up excuses for violating one amendment, instead of tap dancing around a bunch shall-nots because they’re stupid illegal bills don’t consider the interrelation of the parts of the Big C. You know, like when dingbat disarmers tried to say the militia requirements were (invisible) in the Second Amendment, and then people who could read pointed out that they were elsewhere?
Jim for President!

Do tell, if you wouldn’t have to kill us afterward.
Lyle,
The world would be a very different place with Jim as the sitting POTUS.
On the water spurting–It would take too long for the set up and would lose too much in the change in media format.
The basics of it had to do with the government treating of injured veterans, my nephew who lost an arm and the vision in one eye, and a tongue-in-check remedy for the situation proposed by Sean and elaborated on by Jim. Remind me the next time we get together and I’ll try to give you sufficient detail and animation such that you find it at least somewhat amusing.
I can see the slogans now:
Jim is different, and different is good!
(full disclosure: I’m a Jim & I have similar views)
Joe; I’ll take you up on that. I’ll give you my remedy too, and we can compare notes. It involves the application of high explosives as a show of courtesy, but in this case it’s government treatment of the jihadist culture.
Try talking Jim into running for state Gubnuh.
