Tea Party Critics are Constitutional Illiterates
The Preamble begins..."We the people". Rights come from God not politicians who think they are God. Tea Partiers are not terrorists. Terrorists seek to destroy. Who was the real destroyer in the debt ceiling debate? Elected leaders who did the job they were hired to do which includes making their government accountable again? The British no doubt considered those who believed such things terrorists…we call them patriots. The “Silent Majority” will once again he heard in 2012!
Food for thought… When Visa rejects your purchase because you have exceeded your credit limit are they terrorists?

God is not mentioned anywhere in the constitution, save for the phrasing of the date.

If your weren't trying to state what the Constitution says, they why even post about the Constitution in the first place? Now I'm more awesomer than you Mr. I'mmoreawesomerthanyou.

The Declaration of Independence certainly makes references to a creator...
but yeah, let's focus on where these rights come from rather than whether or not they exist

You know of all the people that post on here RobertN is the most idiotic. I don't really even mind the libs if their points are well articulated. We can just agree to disagree but he never actually adds anything except for these little attacks that do nothing to prove his point. Its laughable :patriot:

There is a pretty significant difference between a legal document and one that is not, especially when the central point is constitutional literacy (at least nominally ... it's really the stupidity of Joe Biden from what I can tell).

What was your point? That you have no clue as to what is in the Constitution? I will grant you that.

Joe Biden, Main Stream Media, Liberal Democrats...I think we're all tired of being vilified when all any of us wants to do is bring some sanity back to government. The point of the post was that its our right to do so and that the people (voters) who gave them that power will hopefully take it away next year. I think we are in the middle of a reawakening and remembering that we have the power to change things. The Declaration noted "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Governement, laying its foundation on such principals and organizing in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness". Well...its time.

What made my post idiotic? You made yourself look like an idiot by saying "God" in your post then try to pass it off as "typing to fast". Nice try moron. You might be able to fool most of the other nutjobs from the right but you can't food the intelligent people here(left or right).
Btw, I do realize you really aren't a rightwinger or really believe this crap. I am just playing along with your game.

RE: Tea Party Critics are Constitutional Illiterates
Incidentally, my wife informed me that it would be my fault personally if we were hit by rolling blackouts because I installed a device to prevent her from turning off the lights on our front porch. But it will save me from kicking in the door one of these days when I get home late.
