Show me the active attempts to change those amendments.

Many of the campaign finance reform attempts are one of the most obvious. Some of them seek to ignore or get around the 1st amendment. Now that the USSC has struck down much of that effort some of the left want to amend the constitution to limit free speech rights.

Such as Udall's idea for an amendment -
scribd.com

or other ideas for an amendment that would eliminate the free speech rights of people acting through corporations.

see volokh.com

Then there is all the attempts to ignore, violate, or get around the 2nd amendment.

And you have Obama making law by decree, particularly in the area of health care.

You mention Roe vs Wade. That was another (successful this time) attempt to change the effective meaning of the constitution without even bothering with an amendment.

And there is just the general idea of the left to ignore any but very few restrictions on government from the constitution (while imposing a few that aren't see the last paragraph). Its not just the left, many of these attempts get support from Republicans and conservatives as well, but the left goes further.

Where do you see that kind of active and destructive behavior on the part of the left?

Eco-terrorism is more common that anti-abortion terrorism. Also there was groups like the Weathermen, the Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army, union violence, etc.
