The Third Amendment

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

The above video is kinda crude but it explains all the reason why this amendment is no longer needed.  The Military including the Department of the Army, Navy, and Air Force are able to self sustain.  Again this amendment was created to keep the military out of private property, before there was a national military force.

"And another one bites the dust."

If all war broke out, the military has the capabilities to build forts and sustain itself for extended periods of time.  Military please stay out of my house during war and peace time.  Even after serving for 10 years, I still would prefer the separation.

The Second Amendment

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The right to bear arms.  Well in this day and age, with the speed of communication, there is no need for people to hide behind this amendment.  At the time this amendment was ratified many people were afraid of an unruly takeover by a foreign country.  Also, during this time the military was no really a military, it was a militia of private citizens with their own guns.

Who would want the above guy walking around with a sniper rifle?  Rick Perry stick to politics and leave the shooting to the actual marksmen.

Guns don't kill people, People kill People.  This has been the mantra of the NRA since their inception.  Eddie Izzard had it right "I think the gun helps."

The First Amendment

The Actual Text "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."


The First amendment means to me that people have the right to speak out against anything, without fear of government interaction.  People are able to peaceably assemble to protest any wrong doing.  

This video pertains to the type of people we have leading our government.  Politicians without a full understanding of the first amendment and therefore try to hide behind it once they say something other people don't like.  How can you enforce the constitution without a full understand or knowledge of the amendments.

The above link is an example of free speech during employment.  An employee of Home Depot was fired for wearing a button that stated "Under God" in support of our troops.  Or does it?  Can you really deny someone's first amendment rights if they sign a policy during the employment process?  If a company has a dress code that says "No non company buttons." is this a violations of the first amendment?

We the People! The preamble to the Constitution.
