They do. Cynically when it suits their purpose.

Have you noticed and absence of phrases like “as the Founders wrote” or “as we’re directed by the Constitution” from liberal democrats.

Democrats?? It's absent from the Pubbies also. The Dems have changed to meaning to words also. Spending is now "investing", indoctrination is now "education". There are more but I'm getting tired and ready for sleep.

Because they’re hoping we’ll forget them?

For the same reason that they don’t mention freedom, liberty, or personal responsibility.

Because they hate both. Everything the founding fathers said goes against their agenda. The Constitution is just an old piece of paper that they would love to burn and rewrite. Most democrats don’t have on shred of patriotism or love of country, NONE.

lol

You're right.

Worse yet, most of them really sort of reject many of the basic ideas in the Constitution. They have to do all sorts of legal gymnastics to get their gun control, abortions on demand, etc. fit into the picture with that archaic and silly document.

That's why liberals talk of a "living document" and the "framers" (Not to be confused with our founding fathers)........ They really do attack the basic underpinnings of the Constitution because in their secular, collective, egalitarian, and highly centralized world where a state has a monopoly on the use of force, this document represents an obstacle, unless of course you can completely redefine what it all means.

When did you last hear people say “home of the free, land of the brave”

Or, “It’s a free country isn’t it?!”

or “ever heard of freedome of speech?”

No, you don’t hear that in your daily lives, because people know better, or don’t believe it anymore.

What are you talking about, Democrats mentions them all the time. The Constitution is an outdated document and the founders were a bunch of slave-owning racists.

What’s the Bill of Rights?

Is it anything like a bill of sale?

To Obama types, the Constitution is an inconvenience at best except when it can be twisted to their advantage. Many also truly view it as an artifact of slavery. That canard has influenced a LOT of people, more than many realize. The idea that Constitutional America has some sort of original sin-type basic, evil flaw that must be repented of and paid for is a truism on the left. This thinkng creeps out in Obama's speech whenever he's not careful.

From my childhood in the 50s, I remember when Soviet Communists used to criticize our Constitution because it did not guarantee the 'right' to food, shelter, clothes, a job, education, and medical care (of course the Soviet constitution 'guaranteed' all kinds of things). Did not Obama say much the same thing about our Constitution fairly recently? He and his buddies are absolutely steeped in this point of view. They believe deeply that 'Amerikka' needs fixing, and lots of it, and they intend to do just that. Obama is busy 'fixing' things, already. This view of their country influences everything for them.

Another suggestion: Keep a pocket-sized copy of the Constitution handy by your desktop computer so that you can instantly rebut any fallacious “constitutional” argument that a ‘Rat may try to make.
