If you aren't well-informed enough to have seen them one of the half dozen times they were interviewed on the various news channels, that's not my problem. Look them up yourself. They were completely smug, and very Berkely-esque, IMO.

And it's obvious that you don't think that the government has anyplace in your life. You "constitutionalists" fall back on the same ol', same old everytime you don't agree with a given policy - advocate disobedience, while equating your particular issue with The War for Independence, What if they come for your guns?, etc.....Along with the obligitory Jefferson quote. Fine. Side with the parents, who are most certainly free to break the law.

And are equally free to reap the rewards.....

Now's the point where you refer to me as the sheeple, the dimwitted who can't see the mass government conspiracy to take over ALL things, culminating in a New World Order eerily similar to Sanctuary in Logan's Run, etc, etc....

Gee you have them pegged pretty well! These so-called "constitutionalists" are ignoring the one constitution that really matters in this case, the Massachusetts Constitution. That document, written by John Adams (no lesser a founding father than Jefferson), clearly sets the foundation for today's laws governing the interests of the state in the education of the public. I doubt any of these "constitutionalists" have ever read it.

They couldn't possibly be as smug as you are. I don't have or watch television. Don't need a propaganda pipeline in my house. Most FReepers who think they have something worthwhile to add can back it up with at least a link to something. I have commented on what has been presented on this thread, both the article and other FReeper submissions. I would characterize your contribution as more of an emission.

Horse puckey! I beleive the government was intended to operate within strict boundaries, boundaries clearly set forth in the Constitution. The accusation that "us constitutionalists fall back, everytime, advocating disobedience" has no basis in truth. Something else you can't back up with proof. Just another broad brush painting of someone you disagree with created from whole cloth from your imagination. You're a mental gnat. Buzz off!
