This Vocal Democrat Hates The Constitution, Says We Need To “Start Over”

1776 declaration of independence
Christmas 1776: The Day that Saved America
Now, let’s look a little closer at the “transcendent” aspect. You don’t have to make much of a leap to realize I’m referring to a connection to God and morality. If natural, human rights are derived from something that transcends mere humanity, what is that something? Answer: Objective moral principle and the unchanging God from whom those moral obligations originate.
The Founding Fathers of America (and most of their contemporaries) understood this. We see it in the opening paragraphs of The Declaration of Independence:
“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed….”

I don’t understand Democrats on any level – emotional, intellectual, rational, or otherwise. The stuff they say simply doesn’t compute. Take, for example, their claims that our political and cultural systems are remnants of a racism, patriarchal, cisnormative past and actively oppress everyone other than straight white males. Besides not being true at all, what does that even mean?
The only systemic racism that’s been codified by the federal government in the past half-century is affirmative action – and that works directly against the straight white male population – so it’s impossible to comprehend the complaints.
However, since they apparently believe their own lies, Democrats are now coming out in favor of repealing, scrapping, and rewriting our Constitution, the very document that has given rise to the richest and freest country in the history of humanity. Here is a rich, fat, soft-handed black (i.e. knows few struggles common throughout history) telling us we’re all wrong for pointing out the obvious:
This guy talks a mile a minute without saying anything, so I have included a transcription below. In response to the observation that our current system denies voting rights, equal legal treatment for LGBTQ folks, and abortion, guest and author Elie Mystal went on a meandering rant.
“Hahahaha, sure! But, I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Like, if we could throw that out and start over with a new document that was more inclusive of everybody, that was written by everybody – at no point have black people, brown people, or women had a say a say in actually writing the Constitution or the amendments If we could throw that out and have a delegation of all Americans to write a new one, I’d be all for that. That’s what they did in South Africa…interpret our Constitution so that we extend justice, fairness, and equality to all as opposed to whatever the heck we do now.”
Our Constitution isn’t perfect – hence, amendments – but it is a heck of a lot better than South Africa’s newer version. I will have to write a separate piece on that.
Suffice to say, it’s been an open secret for a long time that Democrats hate freedom and this country. Barack Obama wanted to fundamentally transform this nation, which is admitting that our system of government allowed for too many individual rights. In recent memory, events like the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa prompted fringe, lunatic authors to pen pieces exclaiming “freedom” was a dog whistle for white supremacy. As I wrote at the time, that would have been news to black slaves, and it makes you wonder why Black Lives Matter complains so much about their heritage then.
Relatedly, the other open secret is that Democrats hate what the Constitution guarantees. A theoretical limited federal government is anathema to leftist yearnings of absolute power. When the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, a supposed arbiter and supporter of one of the most important documents in human history, was asked about what new countries should model their systems after, she responded by saying that South Africa had a better constitution than America. For the record, South Africa’s constitution codifies racism against whites through property seizure and the vague notion of redressing past sins.
And it’s bad enough that Covid allowed the federal apparatus to ignore enshrined constitutional agreements altogether. Freedom to assemble? Worship? Speak? Work? Self-medicate? Travel? Think, even? I shudder at the thought of our current state of affairs operating under the Constitution. I can’t even imagine living in an America without the Constitution at all.

Sadly you may well be right. Too many American secular progressives seem to welcome such an outcome here with open arms.
Woke, CRT, and 1619 propaganda all rolled into one bi coastal progressive elite hatefest against the 1776 America we all know and love.
We don't all love everything about 1776 America.
But we can certainly be proud of our eventual creation of a constitutional democratic republic.
There is a lot to love about our 1776 founding and the struggle for independence and to form a lasting government. The founders gave us the cornerstone and foundation upon which future generations could build a more perfect Union.
A lot to love and at least three things to remember as not so great. (1) slavery (2) the taking of land and life from native Americans (3) the political disenfranchisement of women.
We've ended slavery and women are now able to vote but I think reparations for what we did to native Americans will never be able to be paid in full.
True that overcoming slavery was a difficult challenge and giving women the vote took too long but as to the last point, just about every nation on the earth can say that about some people group that used to be there.
I think one of the best examples of systemic racism embedded into laws and institutions was (is) the redlining of real-estate into segregated zones to protect property values against people of color moving into white areas.
This was a policy implemented in partnership between insurance companies and the federal government underwriting mortgages.
