Many founding fathers had experience in the colonial government.

When are people gonna get it.

What we adults consider important, just isnt to the idiots and not only is history and science not important to them, they are angry at science and history.

they won't ever hear about it if fox doesn't report it. And if they do, they will simply dismiss it as a media invention.

Do you think that Trump knows this also? Somehow I don't think that he knows.

That ought to be his campaign theme song!

Don't know much about a science book.

Don't know much about the English he took.

Apparently don't know much geography.

Don't know much trigonometry, though he comes from the weirdest angles.

Don't know much about economics. Don't know what a calculator is for.

But he does know one and one is three.
And if from this election he would flee.
What a wonderful world this would be.

And Mental Ben couldn't quite grasp an understanding of "I'm a little tea pot"

James Madison, also present, wrote the document that formed the model for the Constitution. Other U.S. Founding Fathers were not there, but made significant contributions in other ways. Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, was serving as ambassador to France at the time of the Convention.

Jeebus wrote the Constitution and the Angel Gabriel delivered it to the Founding Fathers in the National Chapel.

It was delivered on Christmas Eve - by Jesus himself, riding on a Raptor and carrying two rifles, a pistol, a shotgun, ammunition for a battalion and several grenades. He then allowed Chuck Norris to receive the document for safe keeping before rewinding himself in the Shroud of Turin and elevating into the sky to sit at the right hand of his daddy.

God was big into slavery and women not being able to vote.



BTW George Washington said that the bible was based on fairy tales too.

Or at least his name is on the book as author.

Actually a lot of people erroneously think that Jefferson is the main author of the Constitution. In fact, Jefferson probably had some influence but was in Paris when it was actually written. James Madison is usually given the most credit, although the Constitution was essentially written by a committee of delegates to the convention, which was supposed to merely revise the Articles of Confederation, not write an entirely new document, which is what happened.

Apologies to Harlan Ellison

...sentence. Carson's mouth-breathing supporters would no doubt respond, "Huh?"

And we used to think neurosurgeons were smart. Carson destroys the saying "it's not brain surgery."

when a Nordic man with light brown hair and blue eyes showed up among the rest of the more swarthy population of dark complexion, dark brown eyed masses.

I say the biggest miracle of Jesus is that NO ONE EVER ASKED HIM ABOUT THAT!!!

Jesus: (intoning heavily, with theatrical pauses on each syllable)"Verily, verily I say unto thee..."
Peter: (nervously)"Ugh, excuse me, Lord?"
Jesus: (haughtily replying with terse anger and irritation) "What is it NOW, Simon Peter? Can thou not seeth I am intoning vital knowledge about figs again?"
Peter: (still nervous, avoiding eye contact and kicking his feet at the loose sand) "Oh, yes, I am very sorry about that m'lord...its just the people over in Bethlehem are getting upset again and they keep sending emissaries to us that I have to make go away and all...anywho, long story short, they are asking the eyes and hair questions again...what should I tell them?"
Jesus: (haughtily replying with more terse anger and dismissiveness) "Tell them I already explained that earlier in the book...go back and read it in the spirit and you'll see.
Peter: (exacerbated)"Ugh, excuse me, Lord? But they wanted to know what THAT meant too."
Jesus: (now quite angry and looking to tip over tables in the vicinity)"Just make something up and tell them to believe it or I will cast them into the fiery lake. NOW, where was I?....Of yeah....Verily, verily..." (fade to black)

The imagery makes me want to

are exactly what James Madison was referring to here:

Spot on!

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a lot of turning in my grave to do."

Turn to figure out who were the good guys.

Or three state capitals.

For his next trick, he'll read us the newest version of "My Pet Goat"

Like the tides going in and the tides going out, it's a mystery.

LOLOLOLOL

is too good a word to use for Carson.

Cleopatra!

Q. Was Thomas Jefferson a member of the Constitutional Convention?
A. No. Jefferson was American Minister to France at the time of the Constitutional Convention.

Q. What did Thomas Jefferson have to do with framing the Constitution?
A. Although absent from the Constitutional Convention and during the period of ratification, Jefferson rendered no inconsiderable service to the cause of Constitutional Government, for it was partly through his insistence that the Bill of Rights, consisting of the first ten amendments, was adopted.

this ignorance and stupidity is an endearing quality. Carson will be back in first place tomorrow morning.

Oh wait...he's black. Maybe not.

The answer, of course is James Madison.



Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.

James Madison

and don't know either.

I'm certain a majority of Americans don't know who authored the constitution, but a majority of Americans aren't running as Constitutional conservatives.

Carson's a buffoon, though he's ensured himself a lifetime of generous speaker's fees through this Presidential run, which was very likely the point of the exercise.
