#third amendment

What has the state of The United States Of America come to, that something so precious, so grave in its grandeur as the third amendment has not been repealed yet? One waits and waits, time passes by quickly, one could wait all day, and its enough to drive a boy such as I mad. MAD I SAY. These ruffians say there isnt any reason to reppeal it, which is utter nonsensical poppycock, when you start truly thinking about it.

Must I, a humble patriot of sentiment and wit, endure this intolerable constancy. This ghastly predicament, Must I? MUST I TRULY? A world where one wouldnt let, cold, burly. swole, soldiers into their home, their dwelling, their very own domicile, a place where soldiers can find rest and sanctuary in these cold nights. A world where, one wouldnt let a measly private into your own living room?

No.. I won't allow it, ill be loud, ill be proactive, ILL LET THE WHOLE WORLD HERE ME SCREAM

I believe in a world, where we can all call, burly soldiers, big muscular soldiers with just a tad chest hair, unto our property, unto our home. I am proud to say I would let a clean, routine oriented man, with steady and strong hands, a true server of the proud nation, into my own home. Even into my own bed for warmth, for snuggles. Who wouldnt?

WAKE UP AMERICA. EVERYONE WOULD

In these cold nights. You should be ashamed if you dont support snuggling with soldiers.

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.

Now, the “manner prescribed by law” (probably Congressional, although there could be some really interesting cases there if the President’s war powers are enough) is definitely more restrictive than “the military can just order it whenever”, but I think people forget the last part, which does remain a pretty huge exception.

like if I could go back in time and show footage of this shit to the blowhards telling me why America Is Great, how completely one could overturn just everything they offered for a proof, but like -

the freedom from quartering troops was this thing they drilled into my little head in public school - long before I could formulate a concept or understanding of what that meant? the way the culture got it across eventually was extremely cruel and rude nazis shoving their way into french villages, taking all their food, killing people, setting up shop in their houses.

allowing police departments to remain in cities they've repeatedly violently attacked is the same thing - they attack the population, they do no other work, & it costs us a lot of money to pay them to torture, main, and kill us.

I'm not a defender of constitutional doctrine - but the Third Amendment is right there. It's not a lot of wiggle room about "except when we say differently" or "it's okay to forcibly inhabit a city if its governor is offended that people don't want to be attacked".

if the "government" isn't prepared to do anything but wield force against us, then it's just an occupying army & we have to get to work treating it as such - that means providing for each other and establishing systems to do what it won't do (and what its corporate backers will oppose).

The Founding Fathers were dumb. Because they made the Constitution and they numbered it, and the order is weird. They sat down, they had a feather- they knew how to make a pen, they were just being jerks.
