Happy Constitution Day

[Offthemat]

The Constitution is the briefest and most enduring framework of ordered liberty in human history. Its durability lies not merely in the parchment but in the will of a people to respect the boundaries it draws. The Framers understood that no words, however brilliant, could restrain the restless appetite for power unless sustained by a culture of self-government and law.

As Roger Kimball observes in this essay, that culture is now breaking down. The Constitution itself is being weaponized, its provisions twisted into instruments of partisan revenge. Such selective enforcement is not a neutral lapse but a central feature of our cold civil war — a struggle between those who seek to preserve the constitutional order and those who would replace it with raw power. Whether the Constitution remains a marvel of liberty or dissolves into mere parchment depends on which side prevails.

This is not our father's America.

The wingers threw out the Constitution in January. Checks and balances are gone as Trump rams e.o.s down our throats.

WHITE GUYS, RIGHT? That's what you want me to say?

Not to mention, slave owners that only wanted WHITE, LAND OWNING MEN to vote. That's what we should  go back to, right? Because these guys were perfect. Spoke directly to the all-knowing Grndat? Is he the one that also told them to allow legalized bribery for politicians?

It’s a shame that people that follow false gods like GRNDAT weren’t SMART ENOUGH to write such a document that is the foundation for the greatest country the planet has ever known.

GRNDAT would kick your Christian God's a$$.

No chance.  He’s not even capable of creating someone smart enough to create an article like the constitution

It's trash, compared to several European countries, Canada and Australia. Trump ignores the Constitution anyway.

GRNDAT oversees everything. IT was the one in control of the writing of the Constitution. GRNDAT oversaw better governments too though, such as Canada and much of Europe and Australia.

With your imagination why don't you write a book instead of spending all of your free time making stuff up on this forum?

It would probably be a lot better for everyone and make you money possibly.

Grndat is an IT. Period. IT transcends sexuality and has no need for genitals like your God does. IT also has an interest in everything in the universe, not just humans. 

Grndat isn't interested in creating the perfect environment for humans in the United States. IT has an interest in every thing, everybody and every organism in the universe. Creating the perfect environment for white men in the United States isn't on it's agenda.

One's opinions on God and Christ does not change the influence that Christian theology had on the American culture, values, and laws... that so many people want to live in.

[mspart]

Correct, i don't think people in the US generally want to live in a theocracy.   That is better left for individual voluntary consideration.   But I think most people want to live in a well regulated society that is governed by timeless principles of individual liberty.  Those principles are espoused in the Constitution and Judeo/Christian thought.

Those are very universal principles that are foundations for most civilizations throughout the history of the world. Ignorant for Christians to believe that they invented them.

The acronym "GRNDAT" does not have a widely recognized, standard meaning. It is likely a typo, a specific technical term, or an informal shorthand

. The context in which it was used is crucial for understanding its intended meaning. 

Here are some possible explanations based on search results:

• Typo for "GDT": It could be a mistyped version of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), a system used by engineers to define and communicate acceptable variations in manufactured parts.
• Typo for a company name: It might be a typo for:
  • Gradiant: An engineering company specializing in water and wastewater treatment.

Grndat is THE God. I'm the only living Prophet at the moment. If u want to be saved, I can help you but use its name and recognizing its lack of gender when praying to it is the main thing.
