I read the link. I can't find the word that is offensive.

We were warned they are after the country. The new age of knowledge has taken over real history and the documents that are the back bone of our nation.

To the Left I proudly say Happy Fourth of July. If you want my country come take it from my cold dead hands. That is your charge. I am charged with defending my nation.

I wonder how many other countries have a harmful language warning above documents that helped established the founding of their nation.

There is no slavery language other to outlaw it, do you find the outlawing of slavery offensive?

That's because YOU might be "offensive", Z, to the folk who are offended re the Constitution. I'll go out on a limb and speculate that the word "God" is a problem for a lot of folks. Not to mention the idea that the very BASIS of Constitutional Principle is that "inalienable Rights" come from God and cannot be abridged by any majority government or group of people.

Happy Fourth Bro. Don't get too hot out there whacking at that ball.

insure domestic Tranquility,


Maybe it is harmful to certain segments of society if they cannot upset the domestic tranquility in order to force weak-willed politicians into caving to their demands.

BUT - I am even more upset that I never noticed the misuse of the word insure..

to "insure," relates to monetary compensation for a loss covered by the contract with the agency.

What is meant is "ensure," which means to "make it happen."

on second thought, perhaps 'the upset' are mad that damage from their riots may be 'insured' so that no harm is really done - and that means their upsetting the domestic tranquility would not work so well.

It's not a word it's a phrase.

"The right of the people" is harmful language to left agendas.

The left is trying to nullify the Constitution. This is just the latest attack on it, and it is coming from within.

The words are still on the paper. History doesn't have a redaction tool.

Yes but if you delve deeper into it and allow for the the context of the times, it's actually quite a beautiful, foresightful and compassionate document.

With far less effort we could have worked to deliver that context and educate about the abolitionist streak within nearly all founders. They were among the first in the entire world to conjure a potential end to African slavery.

Instead the modern left did what they do best - work to tear down and destroy instead of to buttress and contribute

I'm not triggered by the Constitution.

This isn't some conspiracy about attacking our rights or anything of the worst. This is simply about the references to slaves.

They will propose to abolish the Constitution in the near future.

The slaves were most likely not considered citizens by any Colony. This was quite a concession to allow any sort of voting percentage for representation.

I believe that to be the context of what is written.
