Lautenberg: Republicans “don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution!”
Hot Air ^ | 25 Mar 2011 | Ed Morrissey

Actually, it’s difficult to hear Senator Frank Lautenberg’s patronizing follow-up, because the right-to-life counterprotestors taping his remarks reacted vocally to the idea that an elected official would divide up Constitutional freedoms based on whether people “deserve” them or not. His allowance that he’d give those freedoms to Tea Partiers despite their political views might be even more offensive than his initial remark on Tuesday, as he addressed a Planned Parenthood demonstration: … The Republicans in Congress claim they’re concerned about the budget balance, but it’s a disguise! It’s not true! It’s a lie! That’s not what they want. They want — they want other people not to be able to have their own opinions. They don’t deserve the freedoms that are in the Constitution! But we’ll give it to them anyway.

Hey, douchebag, I defended these Constitutional freedoms for the first 20 years of my adult life. I risked life and limb for the abstract idea of freedom. Don't think you or your ilk can simply "decide" to take them away.

I'd kill to protect them then, I'll dam sure kill to protect them now.

The oath I took said "...against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."

Dear Senator Laftinturd, that is why we have a second amendment.

You may find, Senator, that many of us are willing to defend our right to the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution to the very death.


Yours, should you decide to make it necessary.

Molon labe, senator!

Just step your decrepit carcass up to the plate and tell us, “Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in!”

Oh...wait... your colleague Diane Wealthy Hypocrite Feinstein already said that and earned a gigantic “F*** off, Senatrix!” in return.

Now you just start banging on doors and roaring “I’m here to take away your guns! Shut up and do as I say!”

Otherwise senator, you’re just a fizzy Alka-Selzter in the middle of the Jersey Turnpike.

Shut up and eat your pudding Frankie. It’s almost time for a nap!

Just in case anyone was curious the genesis of my Freeper name...

I joined up in November of '02 shortly after the whole debacle where Robert Toricelli (The Torch) was replaced on the mid-term ballot by Lautenburg (The Mummy).

As many will remember Toricelli was jettisoned by his party because polls showed he was slated to lose due to his various pending criminal indictments. Problem was the Dems wanted The Mummy to be put on the ballot even after the statutory deadline to change a choice of candidate on the ballot had passed.

The Dems complained that they were being denied the ability to offer a Dem party choice to the electorate even though it was transparent that their party elite had forced Toricelli out, thus their "disenfranchisement rationale" was the result of their own purposeful doing. The D-Heavy NJ Supreme Court simply rubber stamped that argument and The Mummy has been haunting Washington DC ever since.

Over and out.

Of course not. He will collect every dime he can from the taxpayers, and maybe like some other Dems he will collect them even if he is too old and/or sick to go to the office. Then when he dies, we will be asked to praise him for his many years of public service. Barf.

“These men (in public office), in point of fact, are seldom if ever moved by anything rationally describable as public spirit; there is actually no more public spirit among them than among so many burglars or street-walkers.”

I live next door to Adolph and Eva. Even though they are of some age, the liberal hate and irrationality is very much alive in them. If their party boss gave them the OK to be violent, they would, I’m sure.

As long as I have a rifle I have a vote Mr. Lautenburgh . My grandfather put up with night riding cross burners of the KKK because he was Catholic & the Klan was the armed auxillary of the Democrat party.

If you think I will let you or any other a$$h*le from the DNC or a alphabet agency do to me & my loved ones what your party & its goons did to my grandfather you are in for a very rude shock. Nuff said.

The people in NJ absolutely need him for their own psyche. Like the MA people with EMK and the WV ones with Robert Carlyle Byrd.

NJ people believe in “public service” so long as the “services” are delivered to them!
