I think that's what many want. A new nation based on the ideals of left-wing sociologists and their interpretations of an ideal society. Standards are applied retroactively, without regard for the standards of the time.
Although I realize that the USA government is far from ideal (and far from the worst), I believe that because most occurrences of starting anew (at least for governments) involve violence, it is not worth risking. Reform is slower, and may not achieve the intentions as well as a restart, but is more civil.
