Over the years the progressive thinkers (oxymoron) have been selling the idea that the U.S. Constitution is a living document that has the miraculous power to adapt to changes in the political landscape. They would have us believe that if a single celled amoeba can evolve into a eagle, the Constitution can become whatever our legislators want it to be.
From the beginning of time man has been the victim of tyranny and oppression at the hands of his fellow man. The Constitution was written to protect the rights bestowed upon us by our Creator. The unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and Property are eternal and so is the human nature. There will always be individuals that will seek to enslave the masses in order to achieve their selfish objectives.
When our Constitution is strictly obeyed it has the capacity to enslave the government and allow the people to be free and individually responsible for their own success or failure. When “We the People” elect wolves to supervise the sheep, the results are both predictable and catastrophic.
It is true that conditions change and the Constitution needs to be tweaked from time to time. This is accomplished through the amendment process. If people want a change we need to petition or elected officials to propose a Constitutional Amendment. After 2/3′s of Congress approves and 3/4′s of the states ratify the proposed amendment is added to the Constitution.
