What? A lady during Q&A voices her opinion. Something wrong with that?

I'm tempted to say "yes and no." Yes in the fact that they helped to form a nation that, on paper, would never be ruled by evil people because of the balance of powers. But that was before amendments were added or struck down in favor of dirty politicians, such as the one where Senators were appointed and not elected.

No in the fact that the writers, for the most part, were not Godly men and they in fact wanted to set up a government much like we see forming now but inadvertently set up a government that was viewed by many as being a foundation for a nation to experience true spiritual growth, not the heresy out there now.

Treason does, treason is. Being pResident doesn’t make one immune, it makes it all the more serious.

Real USAians want to know, or perhaps they’re starting to know and want it fixed.

He may have caught flak from the AP, but in this one they can pound sand. Obama is a public figure, whatever any of us may think of him, and photos like that are public domain for artists to make use of. If that one dude can put a pic of christ in a jar of piss, than color manipulating a photo of the one should be ok...

Obama has stated in the past that he does not think that government should be limited by our Bill of Rights, and has discussed at length that these “negative rights” stand in the way of his ability to accomplish his agenda.

The lady made an assertion that Obama “is operating outside the structure of our Constitution”. Romney did comment on her assertion by stating that “I happen to believe the Constitution was not just brilliant but probably inspired”.
I think that the reason that he did not address her “treason” remark was that he probably thought that it had merit, but he was too polite to say so. After all, it is fundamental to the job of a US President that he defend the Constitution. It would be a betrayal of trust for a President to take substantial action to the contrary.

Quite a can of worms for a major candidate to open up at a town Hall meeting.
