Why don’t democrats mention the Constitution or the Founders?

Have you noticed and absence of phrases like “as the Founders wrote” or “as we’re directed by the Constitution” from liberal democrats. Hmmmm, I wonder why? Could it be that they no longer recognize the Constitution as authoritative? Is it possible they’ve strayed so far from the principles of the Republic that they no longer submit themselves to the authority of the Founders writings? I think so. Their silence is deafening.

We’re living in surreal times, times where the “living” constitution has supplanted the real Constitution and it’s going to take some heavy lifting to get back on course, if that’s even possible. The 9th and 10th Amendments have been all but obliterated.

What can you do?

1. READ the Constitution. Learn it, know it. 2. READ the Declaration of Independence. Learn why the Founders declared independence from ole’ King George. 3. Read the 5000 year leap.

Be prepared to stand for what the Founders intended us to be, a small centralized government the protected our liberties, life and the pursuit of happiness. It’s getting very close to a time where people are going to have had enough and you’re already beginning to see signs of the at the tea parties across the country. This movement is just at it’s very beginning stages, much more will come.

Become good citizens again, learn what the Founders understood to be our unalienable rights from our Creator, not privileges granted by a government.

Because Lenin and Stalin were not “Founding Fathers” of the USA?

To be called a ‘Democrat’ in the ‘founding years’ was considered the ULTIMATE insult.

Don’t forget to READ THE FEDERALIST PAPERS;

Read the original CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION DEBATES, too!

Sorry for shouting, but I think that these are essential!

They’re too busy destroying the Constitution, rewriting our history, dismantling our military, stealing our freedom, destroying our security, pissing off our allies, and ruining our future. They’re busy Socialists.

Yep...after all, several of the Founding Fathers were slave owners, so why should anyone listen to them?

Isn’t “Founding Father” a terribly sexist phrase? We can’t have that!

ZEROBama's hard leftist and socialist tack reminds me of the ABC TV Miniseries below....losing our cherished American Heritage!

Amerika on DVD

AMERIKA (1987) - This 11 1/2 hour miniseries is the provocative saga of a Soviet takeover of the United States; a time that pits American ideals against a reign of tyranny. But more importantly, it is an absorbing drama about real people - representing all of us - and how they cope with the reality of losing their cherished heritage. Starring Kris Kristofferson, Robert Urich, Christine Lahti, Sam Neill, and Mariel Hemingway.

The GOP isn’t a whole lot better than the Dims tho. How many times did Juan McCain bring up the Constitution when discussing policy? Not very often, ‘cuz he doesn’t care much either.

The only one that did so regularly was Rep. Ron Paul...& he was vilified by the GOP Establishment.
