Why is it that Democrats seem to have the most problems with the Constitution?
Yes, I know the standard answers, but bear with me. Are not liberals usually the ones who are so concerned about everyone’s constitutional rights? It’s always the left who worries that someone’s rights are being infringed, usually in some contorted, strained context.
Here we are, supposed to be worried about Bushitler listening in on calls originating into or out of Afghanistan (as if there couldn’t possibly be a national security interest in doing so), and apparently the leftist presidential nominee has a problem with the central f-ing concept of the Constitution as a limit on governmental power. WTH?
Lest we forget that President Wilson thought the Constitution was outdated 90 years ago and unnecessarily limited the power of the president. Ditto for FDR.
Every leftist professes love for the Consitution and bemoans threats to it, while at the same time essentially denouncing it as an antiquated document for which allegiance to it signifies membership in the John Birch Society.
Libbies are friggin’ schizo about the Constitution. Obama is no different.
I think an intersting question is - if liberals love the Constitution so much, why do they hate justices who interpret it strictly?
And of course honest leftists know the Constitution is a huge obstacle to their cause. But yeah, the average liberal is totally schizo about it.
The left just wants enemies of the United States to have unlimited freedom to commit espionage and terrorism. They also want common criminals and deviants to have extensive freedom to destabilize society. That does not mean they want ordinary people to live in freedom. That is why they want to silence Rush Limbaugh but they have no problem with Islamists inciting violence. That is why your Bible is a horrible, offensive intolerant book but pornographic "art" that blasphemes God is a wonderful manifestation of tolerance. That is why they are little troubled by violent criminals using guns but they are horrified that a peaceful citizen keeps a gun in his house. That is why a foreign terrorist has the rights of a citizen while a citizen has no rights.
