The Original 13th Amendment will be researched and if found to be thrown out illegally, it will be reinstated along with the one they replaced it with. If you want an explanation-GOOGLE IT!
Amendment 13 - Slavery Abolished. Ratified 12/6/1865.
1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Speaking for myself and not others I would say that the intent to displace the 13th amendment as it is now, was not the intention. Was not mine at least when I read over what was said.
I believe the call into bringing back what was originally considered the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution, not to overwrite the one that is in place, but rather bring back what was, and odd it isn't debated and discussed on a conspiracy site, a Constitutional conspiracy of sorts.
Whatyouknow, you constantly reveal your true intentions with your own language referring to those who you disagree with as being on a side and implicitly claiming a side for yourself, but what side exactly is that? Certainly not freedom. You are guilty of misquoting and attempting to impose your own cynical view of people on people who do want to be free.
You reveal your true intentions when you claim that the will of the people have more authority than natural rights, and any poster who would argue the point with you becomes an echo of Timothy Mcveigh. You are no less an agent provocateur than those who advocate violent overthrow of government. You constantly reference Mcveigh because you want those who advocate freedom to suffer the same fate as that man. Even if they have no intentions at all of resorting to violence.
Any posters who insist that change can happen peacefully, you ignore and pretend they haven't made any such argument. You are loathe to agree with this peaceful change because you are no more for peace than any other advocate of violence, the difference between you and the "other side" is that you advocate violence mandated by the "will of the people" all the while pretending that those people on "the other side" who are mandating the same thing don't count as people.
Your hyperbole is no different than any others in this thread or any other like it, and the tragedy of that is that you willfully and purposefully work towards a continued divisiveness. There are no sides to freedom there either is freedom or there isn't. It has been pointed out to you that revolt does not necessarily dictate violence and yet you pretend this point has not been made and choose to continue flaming the fire with those who would willingly advocate violence. How does this make you any less an advocate of violence than those you take to task?
...Second, we could repeal the 17th Amendment. ...
Then would you defend the rights of those who advocate change through peaceful means from the violence of government?
Will you castigate the dubious violence used upon peaceful protesters by law enforcement officers?
Will you vocally and staunchly protest the unconstitutional methods of creating "free speech zones" or a governments prohibition of peaceful assembly?
Or would you simply demand that those who are angry about these long train of abuses and usurpation's just keep suffering the abuse no matter what the cost?
Do you advocate freedom or do you advocate disarming the people?

You know what guys? I don't care anymore, if you guys want to go around blowing away Americans, and blowing up federal buildings, citing the Declaration of Independence as your excuse, it's your prerogative.
Just don't whine to me about being oppressed when your on death row for high treason against the United States.
Their you go again, putting words into our mouths. Find me one comment that calls for revolt right now and I will back your position.
Otherwise what you are doing is trying to censor peoples discussions on our government's blatant corruption and unconstitutional mandates.
As for death row, what are your absolute line in the sand positions. Do you have any?
It seems many of us cannot stand either parties corruption but as long as your party is in control anything goes?
I will speak for myself, I am sure others feel the same way, I feel both parties since JFK have been instituting unConstitutional statutes for way too long.
And I guess your type of provocateur really know how to push buttons, huh?
Fallacies to the max and lying about what people have stated. At one time I ignored you, but that has all been removed. We have to keep eyes on the likes of provocateurs.

Look them up.

I don't have the power or authority to censor your discussion, but apparently voicing my opinion to your opinion counts as censorship now?

Line in the sand? how cliché!

Well, let's see, no, it doesn't but that's not the point now is it? When "my party" does something I don't agree with, I let them know I disagree.

Oh of course they are.

I am hoping one day some poster will completely snap and it will be reported on the news that Joe X was removed from his apartment babbling incoherently "Damn you whatukno!" . But as of yet, nothing I have said has worked. I'm kidding of course.

I'm touched, really I am. But I haven't lied about anything.
