Take those signs down and see what happens!
But, its the usual bon afaire around here... point to the anomalies to push your points. Throw the baby out with the bath water!
"Get rid of that nasty, outdated Constitution."
Would you please point me to the post on this thread where someone suggested that the US should get rid of its Constitution? I notice you put that in quotes, which implies you're quoting someone who actually said that. I don't trust that you know what quotes are for, so a post that asks for the removal of the Constitution in other words would be fine. Thanks in advance.

The name 'God' isn't mentioned in the Constitution. I think they dated it with the phrase 'Year of Our Lord', but you'd have to be a lunatic to think we're bothered by a common dating convention of the time.

Consider the possibility please, the you may be really, really clueless about what we're saying and doing. The Americans among us at least, like the Constitution. No one advocated getting rid of it.
Someone pointing out that Madison and Jefferson have been dead awhile and therefore it is the current Court's job to figure out how to apply the Constitution to real life cases. You can make a strong argument that the intent of the founders still matters because the High Court attempts to divine that intent in making their decisions; but you chose to go on a rant about tearing up the Constitution instead.
You don't know what's going on in this thread, Ronedee, to an extent that I have to wonder if there's something going on with you that's causing this confusion.
