Visit the official voice of the Conservative Constitutionalist Movement. It isn't a party or a mix of parties, it is simply a movement back towards our Constitution. Blog posts are updated almost daily to help keep you up to date on current events from a Conservative Constitutional perspective.

The Conservative Constitutionalist Movement

See if I can make that link active for ya...


Now...is this different from the existing Constitution Party? Do you support the CP? If not, how does this CCM differ from the CP?

TIA

This is not the Constitutionalist Party. This is not a party at all actually. I am registered as a Republican (primarily so I can vote in the primaries). This is a movement for anyone who thinks that our Federal Government has moved far beyond what is allowed by articles 8 and 9 of Section I of the Constitution in conjunction with the 9th and 10th amendments. We live in a post-constitutional era and my goal is to bring us back to the Constitution. Party affiliation is no object. Desire to return our government to a Constitutional size is a must. Members of the movement include Republicans, Conservatives, Constitutionalist, Libertarians, and Independents. No Democrats so far, but we'll see what happens. It is purely grass roots.

Hi friday, nice to meetcha :2wave:
Welcome to DP!
 
Thanks for all the welcomes everyone! I was here a long time ago (maybe two years ago) and then have been very busy for a long time. Hope to be back more often now that I have my blog going and am getting back into it more.
 
Good morning from the UK
 
Good evening from France

Good evening Paris. Are you in Paris? I was there earlier this year too. I took a trip through Europe in May.
 
The American Constitution, brilliant as its intentions might have been, has most clearly failed to keep government power in check, and what you're supporting is more of the same. Why? Blind faith?

Thanks. I used to be a Parisian for more than 30 years (I turned 36 during MJ's funeral last August). I now am in Normandy, but I still go to Paris once a week. I hope you had a fun time in Europe.

Ps My handle comes from Helen's lover. How about you friday, do you venerate Venus?

Paris, the other place we stayed in France was Caen. We went to Normandy to see the American cemetery and the Normandy beaches. What a beautiful part of the country. And excellent Cidre as well. If I ever get to go back to France I would love to visit that area again.

Alex, I would argue that it is not the constitution that has failed, but blatant disregard for the constitution. The document is no dictator and only works when we follow it. Years of big government political thought, radical judges, and basic human selfishness have put us in a post-constitutional era.
 
The document defines a system that is supposed to have checks and balances to prevent run-away government power. That system has started to show cracks as early as the Whiskey Rebellion, and was completely subverted by the time of Lincoln. Etc.

We need to reexamine the philosophy and practicality of "limited" government from scratch.
 

We were off to a bad start. If America had tried to fight the Revolutionary War and the Civil War at the same time we would have remained a British colony. Therefore, when we reached the civil war, the north had to violate the constitution to stop the south from violating the constitution. It's a mess.

But I think the constitution is an incredible document and would work if we followed it. You can try to remake limited government, and I would be interested with what you come up with. I will continue to fight for the limited government advocated in the constitution.
 
The South wanted to secede, which was it's right.

The North used aggression to keep it in the empire.

(And no, I don't support slavery, but that that justification of the war was popularized after the fact, and there were better ways of phasing it out that would probably have been more effective in the long run.)
 

This group would have to demonstrate their understanding of the Constitution in order for me to care. For instance, how do you feel about drug laws?

Only people can fail.

Glad you asked. I don't think that drug laws are constitutional on a federal level. On the other hand, taking my money to pay for welfare for those who have fried their brains on drugs is also not constitutional on a federal level. I would hope for some sort of simultaneous resolution on the federal level, and then a state by state solution.

Ahhh... I guess that means communism didn't fail as an inferior system, North Korea and East Germany just got the shallow end of the gene pool... :lol:
