71% Of Obama Supporters Say Constitution Should Not Be Upheld
Rasmussen ^ | Rasmussen

Posted on 09/05/2008 4:54:18 PM PDT by markedmannerf

While 82% of voters who support McCain believe the justices should rule on what is in the Constitution, just 29% of Barack Obama’s supporters agree. Just 11% of McCain supporters say judges should rule based on the judge’s sense of fairness, while nearly half (49%) of Obama supporters agree.

Unfortunately for those 71% of Obama supporters, I and quite a few other Americans took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the U.S. against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. We ended that oath with, "so help me God."

Just a FRiendly reminder to that 71%.

Wow. I wonder what Obama will say about this when he is asked by our top-notch “mainstream” Democrat journalists?

But as Sean Hannity says; “we don’t question their patriotism”. Whatever that means.

I love Hannity, I really do, but he's been tough to take on the radio for a few years now. He wastes too much time passionately (and fruitlessly) trying to convince scumbags not to be scumbags. I miss the sarcastic, acid-tongued Jerky Boy from his early days.

I’ve kind of been shying away from him myself. I’ve actually gotten through to the call-screener to try to talk about a homosexual school indoctrination issue a little while back. I was mocked off the phone by her. None of the big talkers talk about those issues. Confusing.

“...could it be ...satan ???”

Clearly, yes.

The problem is, not everyone believes nor accepts that fact that evil is metaphysical (i.e., supernatural) as well as physical. At one time, when society was taught Christianity (in all it’s different incarnations - “freedom of Religion” meant the different variations of Christianity, as it was originally written - and the Bible was the first printed thing people actually read) people had an understanding of the nature of good (the moral) versus evil (the immoral).

Then comes the socialists - with their moral relativism, humanism, atheism, etc., and their goal was/is to destroy the old society (sweep it away) and replace it with a humanist Utopia.

Now of course, if you have no moral base, then ANYTHING is permissible - killing infants, killing the elderly for example, all in the name of “The Greater Good” or “The Common Good”.

That’s how they believe. And Christianity IS their enemy from the git-go; Karl Marx (old Moses Mordecai Levy himself) said it from the outset.

Pretty explicit annunciation of their intent...

So, that being said, we need to defeat Scratch’s foot soldiers in the ground war, while preserving our souls in the spiritual war.

I never understand why a true socialist wouldn't just move to one of the many socialistic countries that have the socialized medicine and all the other centralized cradle to grave planning that they want, and leave America the land of the free alone.

In a free country, there are many forms of capital that don't appear on balance sheets. The only way socialism can appear to work is by harvesting that capital. As long as it holds out, things will appear to work better under socialism than they do under capitalism. As it runs out, though, socialists who are desperate to avoid failure, will need new sources of unharvested capital to sustain their ideology.

Imagine that a large retailer was taken over by someone who promised to give all the employees an immediate 10% pay raise, while discounting all prices by 10%. Sounds like a good deal for everyone, right? What if the new CEO puts 10% of purchase receipts in his pocket and only bothers to restock 70% of the goods that are purchased? Still a good deal for everyone, right? As long as the inventory holds out, anyway.

It means that he has a clue about how to penetrate Liberal Mind Fog Disorder.

The trick is this: if Hannity were to openly state that certain individuals are not patriotic, liberals would immediately hear him as making a personal attack against him and ignore anything he had to say. On the other hand, if he makes clear that he is not going to claim them unpatriotic, and sticks to that, then liberals will be more willing to listen to what he says. To the extent that it's possible to have a conversation with a radio, it would go like this:

Classic Jedi Mind trick, but many who are not familiar with Liberal Mind Fog Disorder won't understand the need for it.

How dare you question their patriotism like that!

I understand (as far as normal, linear thought processes will allow me) what you call "Liberal Mind Fog Disorder". It is better known as "malicious stupidity" and it's a waste of time trying to cure it. Personally, I don't care to listen to somebody (Hannity) who attempts to cure it because that amounts to a waste of MY time.

God bless Sean, though, because he is truly a passionate conservative and his Freedom Concerts are a thing of genuine beauty and greatness.

FRegards,

You don't understand Liberal Mind Fog Disorder. I don't think many conservatives who weren't previously liberals can really grok it. The disorder neither causes nor implies a lack of intelligence, but rather imposes certain blinders. Given that liberals vote in significant numbers, disparaging them as stupid isn't a good way to win elections. Removing their blinders so they'll join your side is a far better course of action.

Personally, I don't care to listen to somebody (Hannity) who attempts to cure it because that amounts to a waste of MY time.

Listening to a grade-school teacher lecture about how to work with basic fractions fractions would probably be a waste of your time, but that doesn't mean such lectures are worthless. You're already a conservative. Hannity doesn't have to convert you. That's great. But don't dismiss him simply because you've outgrown his material. There are millions of people in this country who haven't.

A Republican goes undercover at the DNC, asking Obama supporters to sign a petition giving the Gitmo detainees “basic human rights” such as access to MSNBC, NetFlix, etc.

You need to see this video, and post it to everyone.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jacob-s-lybbert/2008/08/30/hot-air-tv-instant-classic

These Dimtwitocrat Fools don’t realize that the guy is putting on, and they start signing the petition. More telling is the comments they make.

We truly have a HUGE problem in this country...
- Hale

Jason Mattera is the guy in the orange jumpsuit, pretnding to be a Gitmo Detainee. At the recently concluded Democratic Convention, Mattera “[put] on his orange jumpsuit to petition DNC protesters in support of Netflix and MSNBC (and Jihad Olympics!) for the deprived Gitmo detainees.” You see, this is the perfect way to poke fun at people—like Recreate 68—who take themselves way too seriously.

The funniest moments? I agree with Michelle, who posted the footage at Hot Air:

the eco-conscious couple’s reaction when Jason suggests the ultimate carbon footprint solution. Hackysack with Little John Edwards. And: Jason’s got some mad ballroom dancing skillz

"Somebody should forward this to Justices Scalia and Thomas since I'm pretty sure they need a good laugh or two."

Somehow I don't think they would find it funny. They are fighting a constant war against that.

Having seen the Lord Jesus work in the material form, directly in response to my spiritual cries for help, I would agree to the fact that evil is in fact a material as well as a spiritual-plane phenomenon...

Once the personal fight was accepted [ that He is really truth and exists as Master of my destiny], then the Spirit battle became as real as the material, and I will carry the fight forward till He relieves me of the bondage of 'the world'...[a place that is being essentially governed by the dark spirit for the time being]...

we cant win that fight, [its His to win at His choosen time and place] only carry on in His name and continue His Will, and wait for the 'time' to come...whichever time it will be and whenever it will be...

wow what a rambling mess...8^]...

LFOD...

Wow, that’s creepy. “Fairness” is very subjective. No small, select group should define fairness for the whole nation based solely on their whims.

I agree. I knew some people felt that way, but not that large a percentage. It’s frightening so many people are willing to give their power away to nine unelected judges.

What I think is....that the Pubbies instinctively know that the Constitution is part of the very "soul" of this country...albeit they might not be able to tell you much of what's in it. But, they know it's very important.

I think most Dims on the other hand...don't know what the Constitution is...nor do they care.
