You need only reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in their struggle for independence.

How can this man if I may call him that uphold his office as I know most state Contitutions closely follow the US Constitution he is in violation of both.

Proving that he is willingly ignorant of a great number of facts.

That’s why “endowed by our Creator” is the CORNERSTONE of *ALL* our rights.

If you don’t believe in God, like most of the Left, then the State is its own god and can grant and rescind rights at will.

Any man or group of men that can grant or rescind rights at will, or even according to the vicissitudes of a “majority”, is TYRANNY.

That shows how much Stephen Cohen knows about the Constitution. He knows nothing about it, and cares nothing for it.

Exactamundo!

Consider the more accurate definition of today’s extreme Left:

Merriam-Webster Dictionary definitions:

Tyrant: an absolute ruler unrestrained by law or constitution

Tyrannical: being or characteristic of a tyrant or tyranny

Oppressive
1 : unreasonably burdensome or severe
2 : tyrannical
3 : overwhelming or depressing to the spirit or senses

That is why Oppressive is really the correct way of describing those people.
