the "securing the blessings of liberty", eh? quote:
ORIGINAL: bipolarber Yup. We Democrats have an agenda alright! Want to hear how it offically starts off? Well, it's like this: "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." After that, there's a bunch of guy's names... and then we get into the real meat of the "agenda." By contrast, the Republicans have gutted the basic right of Hebeas Corpus. (the right to confront charges against you, and to confront your accusers) The concept behind this was first codified in the Magna Carta, and the idea of it goes back about 1200 years.) It seems the GOP also has an agenda... one that involves chucking people into prison without charge, for an indefinite period of time, and to torture them. They also seem to think that the government has every right to tap your phone, read your email, and keep records on everyone so they can be used against them. So much for the "securing the blessings of liberty", eh? So then why is it that the guy you all put on the ballot sounds more like Karl Marx than James Maddison and Thomas Jefferson? As for the people who we have in those "secret prizons" whe are being denied thier "rights" They are soilders of the enemy, An enemy that does not wear a uniform, that refuses to face our troops on the battle field, but instead use cowardly tactics involving IED's and fear mongering in a global attempt to destroy those rights that we hold so dear and replace them with Sharia law. I really don't think these ass hats deserve the protections of our Constitution or of the Geneve Convention, because they refuse to live by either, until they are captured that is. Quite frankly when it comes to things like water boarding, that is nothing compared to what happens to our people when they are captured, Imagine what that must be like to be foreced down on the floor, with your feet and hands bound with wire ties, a sack over your head, surrounded by figures dressed all in black who have just tortured you for days, who as they scream Allah Ackbar (god is great) plunge a knife repetitively into your neck to saw your head off. This has happened many many times through the course of this conflict, and I have yet to see Democrats come out to condem it, I have however seen Democrats call our troops baby killers, I have seen Democrats show up to protest at the funerals of the fallen who have died at the hands of these very same people who did the hacking to spew hate speech at the family of the deceased. And before you go lecturing me about what happened at Abu Graib, what happened there was not right, but it was no worse than anything that happens at a high school on any given day in America. It is the Democrats who are running around throwing pity parties and suing people every time a Koran gets tossed in a shitter, but where is thier outrage at the suicide bomber who lets his bomb rip through a crowd of innocent civilians, where is the outrage for the car bomber who maims a nineteen year old soilder for the rest of his life. None of that involves protecting the Constitution, in fact, I have seen Democrats in my day do everything in thier power to undermine the 2nd ammendment which is in my oppinion the most nessecary one we have, followed very closely by the freedom of speech. Yet we have had bill after bill, and law after law that has been designed to undermine this right, when the facts clearly show that gun control does not work. At the same time we have seen a Democratic President (Bill Clinton) Take the military, and slice dice disband and defund it so terribly bad along with our intelegence community that it left the door wide open for 9/11. So where in all this are the Democrats protecting my rights? Is it through insisting that because I own my own company that I deserve to pay higher taxes? Or wait, is it through trying to take away my ability to defend myself. You know that does you so much good, like in england where if some one breaks into your home you have to leave. What a bunch of crap.
