ValerianSteel: You have to remember the South is largely Red owing to the history of the United States, the Civil war (which was primarily hinge on slavery), and the 2nd amendment. One prominent democrat is not going to change the ideology of the South. 2 Likes |

Roland17:If I may. I answer this with a simple question; Are the realities of the American society when the founding fathers wrote the constitution the same as it is today? I guess No.The laws of the land must always reflect the realities of today. 3 Likes |

happney65:Tramp is a documented racist. That's why I hate his guts so much. Anyone that knows what racism does to young mind will loathe the trampy bigot. I grew up when Reagan was purposely flooding minority neighborhoods in America in the 80s with drugs to fund the war against the Sandanistan government of Daniel Ortega in El Salvador. The damage is still with black America up till today. That's why I take umbrage when I see the clowns on nairaland who have no knowledge of happenings in America shouting and foaming in the mouth about a Racist dog who couldn't give a damn about them. 3 Likes |

Roland17:I accept this as very true but we need to combat the fact free and ignorant culture in the South.I believe that's the main issues.They'd rather thump their Bibles first and sing first amendments before ever considering voting someone with clear agendas that can help them. The South lives on a reality on its own which is 'We are the real Americans'.This election has clearly shown us how the minds of an average Southerner works. I find this map humorous,it's meant to be funny but truly it's what they believe. 2 Likes

ValerianSteel: I share similar sentiments,however, in moderation. If the constitution is viewed entirely as a living document that evolves then its safe to say the Republican party would gradually become extinct if they don't change some of their ideologies. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Roland17:I believe the constitution is a living document that should be interpreted in a way to suit the 21st century. I hold my strict constructionist buddies in high esteem, but I don't really think the founding fathers thought that their 18th century document would be a rigid one. For example, the likes of Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Quincy Adams or George Washington couldn't imagine that man would fly in an airplane, discover electricity, or invent nuclear weapons. Besides, if we are to follow the constitution strictly by the letter, then only citizens who are members of a regulated militia would be eligible to own firearms. So, I believe the constitution should be interpreted in the context of present and future circumstances. 2 Likes |

happney65:I agree. I own two guns myself but I still believe there should be common sense gun laws. I remember years ago, NRA used to send me all kind of offers and discounts papers so I can join them. I called them up and ask how do they know my number. They told me they bought my phone number through the shooting range I used to go. The people at NRA led by Wayne Lapierre are bunch of racists and fools. 1 Like |

I think the biggest problem with the Grand Old Party is its refusal to evolve as they hold strongly to the founders view of the constitution and that is why Trump is seeking a supreme court judge who shares similar constitutional ideologies like Justice Scalia. 2 Likes |

One, I inherited from my maternal grandfather and the other I bought with my money but you don't hear me whining about it. Grow up Lucas! 4 Likes 2 Shares

Trump responses were issue based rather than a tax-diversion talk with no values. America have never been weak in foreign policies than what we are experiencing under secretary Hilary and is godfather Obama. Vladir Putin is even more famous than Barrack Obama this days |

I couldn't help myself last night. I laughed so hard most of the time and Hillary couldn't help it too, oh goodness lmao...i mean Trump was a real entertainment to watch. Did you observed how he left there in a hurry. I thought he would go chat up people who came there for him. He was gone real quick but Hilary was still there taking pictures and greeting people. She should not rest now!!! I hope she will continue to do well and people will go out and vote for her. Lucasbalo: 1 Like |

armyofone:You are absolutely right. Tramp is worse than deplorables in my book. I was against McCain and Romney when they ran against Obama in 08 and 12 but I know that they are honorable men that I disagree with on policies. Tramp is just a two bit professional con artist cum racist whose hatred for women is legendary. This election was over the day Mr Racist clinch the republican nomination. Hopefully, the Party of Lincoln will regroup after November 8 for the betterment of America because we deserve two strong Parties for check and balances. 3 Likes |

I'll put up my 'conspiracy' hat for a second.... In December 2016, president-elect Hilary Clinton names current First Lady Michelle Obama as her Secretary of State designate. In February 2017, Michelle Obama is confirmed by the US Senate as Secretary of State. Sec Obama serves for 2 years, takes a 4-month sabattical before announcing her run for President in 2020. President Clinton had earlier announced that she won't seek a 2nd term in office. 1 Like |

CFCman: The constitution cannot and should not be a living document that politicians can manipulate as they wish. Airplanes and nuclear weapons have nothing to do with laws. The idea that only 9 men can tell the whole nation what the constitution says is even absurd. That creates a situation where presidents fill the courts with ideologues that will defend their position instead of interpreting the document the way it was meant to. If liberals think that the consitution is a living document then they should be in favour of calling a constitutional convention by the states and let start amending the whole thing to fit into the so called "21st century". Isnt that a better idea than making laws that have been passed election issues? The left wants to repeal citizens united, the right wants to strike down rowe v wade even thou the laws are on the books. The phrase "well-regulated" was in common use long before 1789, and remained so for a century thereafter. It referred to the property of something being in proper working order. Something that was well-regulated was calibrated correctly, functioning as expected. Establishing government oversight of the people's arms was not only not the intent in using the phrase in the 2nd amendment, it was precisely to render the government powerless to do so that the founders wrote it. If you read direct quotes from most of the founders, you will understand that they want normal citizens to have guns to protect themselves and that should even undercut your well regulated militia logic. 1 Like |
