So I’m at an observance of Constitution Day last week and in a contest, testing our knowledge of the constitution.

Now, I’m gonna win and I’m one question away.

The moderator asks:
“Besides Constitution Day, what other day is celebrated concurrently? “.

“My Birthday!” I yelled.

“Wrong Answer” replied the Mod.

“You call my Mom on Wednesday and tell her that!” I protested.

The Mod says “Anyone know the answer?”.

So I’m looking around and . . . Nothing.

No one answered.

I turned to the gal behind me and whispered “Citizenship Day” and she yelled out the same.

Afterward, many people came up to tell me I’d been robbed and should have won.

“Mom’s not gonna be happy when she hears her son got dissed” I mused.

We all laughed.

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Constitution Day.

Happy Citizenship Day.

Of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention who stayed to the end, 3 refused to sign the document. One of them was Elbridge Gerry, later the fifth Vice President of the US. We should honor men like Gerry and the so-called Anti-Federalists because their skepticism about whether the Constitution would adequately protect our liberties led to the adoption of the Bill of Rights.

It is encouraging to see young people engaged in preservation of our Constitution, I’m sure they will encounter many obstacles to their mission every step of the way, which should only serve to strengthen their dedication.

They are doing this at the leftist indoctrination centers posing as colleges today? What are they trying to do, get themselves expelled? The constitution is very offensive to Allah Obama.
