In your case why read? It will never alter your fallacious interpretation of the real world? When you do find evidence proving they are fallacies you just kick in some cognitive dissonance and rationalize it away.


No worries.  You are hardly unique in this respect.

And you should feel blessed.  The socialists of the former Soviet Union provided no such permission to leave.  Still the case for China.  Yet in America even if you decide you cannot abide by its doctrine the Constitution affords you inalienable rights until you depart.  How is that for a gracious host?

the Constitution is nothing but a list of promises made by people who had power long ago...but no longer. 

It does nothing on its own. And the current elite clearly do not care about such promises...

Your appeal to the Constitution is simply impotent and strikes me as a little sad.. we are not 3ven ruled by the same KIND of people as we were in 1779. Talking about the Constitution is about as useful as talking about the reforms of Julius Caesar.

The Constitution was routinely violated after 1913.  A short list of things in the U.S. that blatantly Violate the Constitution

Marbury vs Madison (judicial review)
creation of the Federal Reserve
the Patriot Act
every war since 1960 ( Congress declares war, not the president according to the Constitution)
Citizens United ruling

the fact that we keep a standing army at all is against the Constitution if it is longer than 2 years

Article I, Section 8, Clause 12: [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years; . .

the constant appeals to a document that has been basically ignored for a century is pretentious and laughable

the 14th ammendment was also signed under duress for terms of capitulation for the confederacy...that should not have made it binding. 

And freedom of association and such was clearly violated by the civil rights acts.

to post all the ways in which we don’t abide the Constitution would be exhaustive and take days.  The most obvious example is the whole administration of FDR.  Social Security, income tax etc..

apologies to CP I know he is a fan of Roosevelt

the 14th ammendment was truly amazing ...because it clearly was not what us citizens wanted. In both the north and south the overwhelming majority wanted and expected Lincoln stated plan: to deport all the Africans. NOT to make them citizens. 

Even the majority of union soldiers who fought In the civil war resented this ammendment..but they hoped they could at least keep blacks out of the north.

Marbury vs Madison Not unconstitutional.
Patriot Act Yes I think this went beyond the confines of the Constitution
Every war since 1960.  This too is not unconstitutional.
Citizens United.  I agree with the opinion of the court.  The decision was a compromise and IMHO struck a good balance.

"the fact that we keep a standing army at all is against the Constitution if it is longer than 2 years"
This is not a correct assessment of S1 A8 C12.  Read it again and also read the entire section.

are you? Don't be ignorant. 

In the spirit of the framers of the Constitution, the vast majority of administrative powers were to be given to the states or even smaller jurisdictions.

This would include various economic policies like social security.

The federal government was really only there to Sort-of protect the autonomy of the states from foreign power
