Robert Francis O'Rourke (AKA "Beto" Despite Having No Hispanic Connections Whatsoever): Maybe We Need to Ditch the Constitution

If there's no Constitution, there is no America. It's the document by which we agreed (and continue to agree, if reluctantly) to belong to a nation called the United States.

If we're ditching the Constitution, we're ditching America. Which is actually fine by me -- but if you attempt to ditch the Constitution and keep actual Americans enslaved under a no-longer-American government, expect violence.

Because that's straight-up tyranny.

From a Washington Post interview:

Throughout the two-hour interview -- which was often interrupted by bystanders urging him to run for president -- O'Rourke boomeranged between a bright-eyed hope that the United States will soon dramatically change its approach to a whole host of issues and a dismal suspicion that the country is now incapable of implementing sweeping change.

When asked which it is, O'Rourke paused.

"I'm hesitant to answer it because I really feel like it deserves its due, and I don't want to give you a -- actually, just selfishly, I don't want a sound bite of it reported, but, yeah, I think that’s the question of the moment: Does this still work?" O'Rourke said. "Can an empire like ours with military presence in over 170 countries around the globe, with trading relationships . . . and security agreements in every continent, can it still be managed by the same principles that were set down 230-plus years ago?"

It doesn't work for many on the left. So let's compromise and split the country into states that still cherish the Constitution and those who want to be free to date other political systems.
