A 'Living' Constitution is a Dead Constitution
Ron Paul was right when he said this in his new book, The Revolution: A Manifesto. Every time we decide that something in the Constitution is no longer relevant to the times, the Constitution becomes a document that gives no more direction than a piece of blank paper. How can we uphold liberty when we continually spit in the face of the document that shows us the way?
If You Don't Like It, Ignore It
"If you don't like it, just ignore it" is a popular saying. I am sure we have all heard this a few times in our lives. The saying makes sense, and it seems like it would be a good thing to follow. I mean, if we do not like something, then we should just ignore it, what is fundamentally wrong with that idea? In theory, nothing is really wrong with it. In reality, it makes everybody complacent and ignorant by emphasizing that nothing is worth judging and dissecting. The other problem is that people become hypocritical when they try to support this viewpoint. People tend to preach this reasoning when they are criticizing and berating others for not abiding by the very ideology that they are now ignoring.
