Founding Fathers words should not be taken as gospel (Opinion)

Is "opinion" Canadian for "asshole"?

[Patrick1]

Is this satire?

This person probably also believes that felons that have "done their time" should be allowed their full rights to vote, and presumably own guns.

So Zimmerman, who is presumably innocent until proven guilty, and who got his time in court, and was declared innocent shouldn't be able to exercise his Constitutional rights, but ex-felons presumably should.

I realize that there is a lot of conjecture in what I just wrote, but probably I'm not too far off.

[Standing Wolf]

That was the speech where Roosevelt asked for a declaration of war. This time around, it refers to a declaration of blatant racism – Zimmerman may not be all white, but he looks it – and an indictment of unnecessary gun violence.

Marxists want what they want, and they want it right this minute, and if they don't get it, they're going to have temper tantrums, and if those don't get the job done, they'll hold their breath until they die, and then we'll really hate ourselves for not giving them what they want.

Hey, quit sugar-coatin' it and tell us how you REALLY feel!

Doubtful. It looks more like boredom.

Society evolves and laws change to reflect the evolution. It is no longer permissible to “own” anyone else. Now, some kind of gun control, like background checks, needs to be implemented.

Funny this Canucklehead should equate owning guns with owning people.

The eeeeeeeeevil NRA was created with an eye towards arming freed slaves so they could defend themselves against those who would drag them back to the plantation.

[VerySadAmerican]

The Founding Fathers words are not infallible. But Roosevelt Is?

These guys choose to believe what they want to believe. They truly believe Zimmerman banged his own head against the concrete.

[Texas Eagle]

Heh, heh.

My mother always told me if I don't have something nice to say about somebody, call him an asshole

[Intolerant in NJ]

Hate speech - give it the inattention it deserves.....

[Texas Eagle]

The subsequent trial and acquittal, to paraphrase the great American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt talking about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, will be a decision “which will live in infamy.”

Refresh my memory, Dudley Do-Right. Was that the same FDR who sent thousands of people to internment camps because of their race?

[smokingfrog]

Barry shoulda stayed retired.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Earl Warren made him do that, everybody knows that!

[smokingfrog]

For the know-it-all types like Barry of the North, I prefer the term “asshat.”

[YHAOS]

Ellsworth is unhappy that he wasn't allowed to decide the verdict.

Poor Barry. Cry me a river.

[Walkingfeather]

Written by a canadian....

[noinfringers2]

And wasn’t FDR the POTUSA who tried to pack the SC so his socialist programs would be declared Constitutional? Fdrset the standard of why two terms are enough.

[YHAOS]

Don't elevate Barry to the status of "asshole" . . . it's way above his paygrade.

Jus' sayin' . . .
