Beaufort, N.C. Jan. 17, 2013 TO THE EDITOR: Republicans and so-called conservatives are at it again. They are claiming that the Constitution gives people the right to have guns without the permission of the government. If that were true, then how could New York and Chicago have laws against it? We Democrats are sick and tired of Republicans constantly using the Constitution to cover up their true plans, which are to make us all afraid of everyone else. Our great president came from a civilized part of the country where there is strict gun control, and he is only trying to bring the benefits of that more modern way of living to the rest of us. I dont know the exact statistics, but Im quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it comes to gun violence. But do Republicans and conservatives listen to the voice of reason? No, of course not. All they want to do is whine and complain about how gun control and wealth redistribution violate the Constitution, as if the Constitution were all that great, anyway. There are a lot of things that need to be changed about the Constitution, Id say, and President Obama needs to change it. The Republicans are just trying to stand in the way, because the president is black. They even dared to question whether he was born in this country. I think all this demonstrates that the Constitution needs to be amended when it comes to the qualifications for being president. Right now, it says that a person has to be 35 years old and be a natural born citizen. Well, that is obviously unfair because there are a great many otherwise qualified people who cannot run for president because their mothers had to have a C-section. But because the Constitution was written a hundred years ago, nobody even thought of the discrimination that would result from a doctor having to deliver a baby in this unnatural way. Now that we Democrats are in control of the government, thats just one more thing we should change in our drive to make life fair. Please withhold my name because I dont want to get crank calls. PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT
And this person is allowed to vote??
I’m fairly certain the lowland writer is not white
LOL! This just has to be satire. Not even the low-information voters could be this confused. (I know, I’m giving them a HUGE benefit of the doubt, but still.)
i know, hard to believe. but then, look at everything else going on. hoodabeleevedit
This absolutely has to be satire.
Who was it who said that democrats have their head up their a$$?
” PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT”
Because there is nothing below single-cell organisms.
It’s satire. And done very well.
The original letter reads like the comments on the local paper’s forum from what I call “the usual suspects”. These are the commenters that show up daily to provide their anti-God, anti-gun, anti-Republican, anti-freedom, etc. responses to various articles or letters to the editor. I jump in to give responses that balance the scales somewhat but it just gets tiresome. I’m constantly amazed at the number of lib-progs in northeast OK.
That's what I initially thought too.

A hint for the genius: The "C" in C-section stands for Caesarian. The procedure has been around for a very long time.
Wow. So much brain damage. Here’s my favorite part....
“but Im quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it comes to gun violence.”
Whoo! The stupid is strong with this guy.
maybe it’s just me, but I’m seeing more obama stickers now than before the election
PPTTF...huh, this is tame compared to some of the ramblings over at DUmmieLand. Some over there don’t want to amend the constitution, the want to get rid of it all together and replace it with the communist manifesto.
I was wondering if they were allowed to roam freely, or are they restrained in some fashion?
People! This is SATIRE.
Still, I don't know of any print rag that would knowingly publish a letter satirizing Useful Idiot DemoRats.
No, it's called the "final product" of the American educational system.
and you know that because islands don’t really tip over?
