wait, the Constitution isn't flawless and sacred and perfect?

This is sneaking dangerously close into "if it's in the Bible, it must be moral" territory, which is the entire point of my argument.
1) Banning the non-factual thinking that a centralized, top-down, price-controlled, government-mandated health care system will result in an improved, cost-effective, innovative, compassionate, patient-centered practice of medicine in the future.
2) Banning the non-factual thinking that the government can spend and borrow its way out of debt.
3) Banning the non-factual thinking that government spending adds or stimulates the economy. It either first taxes money from the economy before "redistributing" it, borrows money that would otherwise be used by private investors or prints money threatening the value of the dollar. No wealth is created however.
If I'm reading this correctly, a state could designate the power to choose its electors to Donald Trump.
This is evidence of stunningly bad design in the US Constitution. Just awful.

No the point of your argument and your amendment is, in your words, to ban "religiously informed thinking" because it is "non-factual thinking."
So you are not dangerously close, you are in the territory of "if it's in the Bible, it must be false."
You are free to think what you will of the Bible and those that think it Holy (that's your free exercise of religion), but if it's "non-factual thinking" you want to ban might I suggest the following:
1) Banning the non-factual thinking that a centralized, top-down, price-controlled, government-mandated health care system will result in an improved, cost-effective, innovative, compassionate, patient-centered practice of medicine in the future.

It's not that the Bible is false. It's that the Bible isn't in and of itself a source of information.No the point of your argument and your amendment is, in your words, to ban "religiously informed thinking" because it is "non-factual thinking."

The level of disconnect between what GOP supporters believe and how the really real world actually is and behaves is suggestive of mental illness, at this point.
Yes, well let's give it a proper, scientific sounding name then. Debtspiral-phobia.
It's the fear of watching the European welfare state crumble before our eyes while continuing to follow in your footsteps.
If the GOP cared about the debt, they'd tax the top 2%. They don't care about the debt; they care about 2012. By making debt the issue, they prevent the government from taking care of the real issue: jobs.
You really are completely nuts.
not to mention they can sit back and let obama take the blame for everything they have and haven't done. yet if a republican gets elected in 2012 and things don't get better, suddenly it'll be the democrat minority who's supposedly being immature and preventing progress. when the republican president wins by a landslide in 2016 and the economy naturally starts to improve, then it'll be real progress at work thanks to the republicans.If the GOP cared about the debt, they'd tax the top 2%.

It's a relatively limited amendment in scope. It would really only affect a couple debates.
Almighty God hath created the mind free...All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens...are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion...No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion.
I posted that amendment at 3:30 in the morning after a night of heavy drinking.
Was everyone in this thread drunk?!!??!??!

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
At the beginning. Generally if I'm posting after 2AM on a weekend it's a safe bet.Was everyone in this thread drunk?!!??!??!
