because a bunch of morons, like yourself, have been led by the nose ring of slavery to believe that the Constitution was written to apply to Americans, when IN FACT, the constitution was written to apply to GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure that accepting the above MIGHT be difficult for you, but IF, IF you are able to understand and accept the concept that WE THE PEOPLE wrote that constitution and that it prescribes LIMITED powers to the government, you MIGHT have an inkling of the idea about freedom that the founders tried to provide

Again...Bingo.

Jarod is systematically using semantic fallacies and redefinitions to discard the Constitution.
Uncle is just throwing his usual psychoquackery, hallucinations, slander, pivots, and insults while he pats Jarod on the back for discarding the Constitution.

Yes, I agree, the constitution prescribe limited power to the government. What we’re talking about now is what are those limits. One of the things the government is allowed to do is provide for the common welfare of the people.

It's a good time for you to be backing away from your association with the Oath-Keepers and the other seditionists. Those fuckers are going to do hard time for their attack on the Constitution and seeking to impose their own government in its place.

I'm guessing sales of "The Turner Diaries" have taken a drop too. LOL

the General Welfare clause is not the catchall to provide for whatever is demanded by the people

https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/20...ansive-reading-of-the-general-welfare-clause/

Madison objected to certain provisions in the bill, but he was more concerned about the constitutional justification some were using to support the legislation. They claimed the bill was authorized under the general welfare clause. In a speech on the House floor, Madison said that while there was arguably justification for it under the commerce clause, it was not something that was supported by the general welfare clause. His speech is a stinging refutation to all those who claim the clause empowers the federal government to spend money for anything and everything under the sun as long as it benefits the “general welfare” of the country.

The Constitution limits the power of government, but it was written in order to give the central government greater power than it had under the Articles--the power to tax directly, raise a military, regulate interstate commerce, coin money....

Yes I agree, most documentarians on that time are clear that everyone was in consensus the articles of confederation Were too restrictive on federal power and created an unmanageable and unworkable federal government.

Oath Keepers are not seditionists. Slander.

They are not attacking the Constitution. They took an oath to uphold and defend it. YOU are simply discarding the Constitution.

WRONG.

The purpose of a constitution, ANY constitution is to define and declare a government. That government has NO authority or power other than that defined by it's constitution.

The very nature of a republic is limited government.

Redefinition fallacy. 'General welfare' does NOT mean authorizing socialism in any way. It has nothing to do with communism (such as the Social Security program or Medicare). It has nothing to do with fascism (such as controlling energy markets, automotive markets, etc.). It is a restraint. It is not a power or authority.

Go learn English.
