“The constitution reflected a enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day and the framers had that same blind spot.
I dont think the two views are contradictory. To say that it was a remarkable political document that paved the way for where we are now and to say that it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day.”

Sorry... too late... McCain's not listening anyway.
I do think it is appropriate and emblamatic that the first words Obama will speak as he is becoming president will be a lie when he takes the oath of office since he has no intention of "faithfully protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America."

Excerpt:
This raises the question of whether Mr. Obama can in good faith take the presidential oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution" as he must do if he is to take office. Does Mr. Obama support the Constitution as it is written, or does he support amendments to guarantee welfare? Is his provision of a "tax cut" to millions of Americans who currently pay no taxes merely a foreshadowing of constitutional rights to welfare, health care, Social Security, vacation time and the redistribution of wealth? Perhaps the candidate ought to be asked to answer these questions before the election rather than after.
