I am so sick of these hypocrites going on and on about the Constitution today...as if they give a shit!!
Who passed the 'Patriot' Act? Using 9/11 to ram it through, handing it out at 3 am demanding a vote in the morning?
Who was caught illegal wiretapping on US citizens?
Who implemented Homeland Security and the TSA, two HUGE Government programs, wasting Trillions of tax payer dollars violating our Constitution?
Which part of the Bill of Rights don't they understand because Republicans have done nothing to protect our Constitution NOTHING!
Just as these bastards should be called out on their violations of the Constitution, they should also be exposed as having wasted huge amounts of money in their BIG government slush funds. I am sick of them blaming the poor for their spending!

They don't give a flying fuck about the Constitution and neither do a lot of Democrats.
they're the ones who seceded, remember? (conservatives, I mean)

The attempted military coup against FDR?
The botching of the Paris Peace Talks?
Iran Contra?
Secret Plan to End the Vietnam War?
Watergate?
Coup attempt against Bill Clinton?
Selection of George W. Bush?
That's the short list.

(1,076 posts)7. You do realize that
the Democrats helped pass the legislation you posted about, it wasn't just the rethugs. Everyone was whipped into a frenzy,they would have signed just about anything.So if we are going to do some calling out we should in all fairness be calling out some Democrat names as well.

(322 posts)9. oh I know! It is time for the Democratic Party (US) to take the lead and let the leaders follow
The Democratic legislators were weak and fearful cowards afraid to stand up to Bush and do their job as required by their Oath of Office "uphold and defend the Constitution"
We need to stand up to the Republicans and Big Government and show them how it is done. It is absurd that Republicans are constantly pointing the finger after everything they have done.
How will we have a voice?
The internet is about the only shot we have, so why don't the real democrats, like posters on this board, start creating the memes and sending them around the net?
We are the greatest democratic think tank, and we work for free! You would think the 'leaders' would utilize that.
Oh well, can't wait around for 'leaders', we are the ones we have been waiting for.
