1403 - The Constitution



Found this on John's facebook page. It's an article about the constitution. An in depth article. A looong article. So I won't waste any more of your time here. (except to tell you Boehner is an idiot as shown in the article)

THE CONSTITUTION explained.

This is a great article. Unfortunately, the people who most need to read it won't, because their tricorn hats have slipped down over their eyes.

From the article: “This is my copy of the Constitution,” John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, said at a Tea Party rally in Ohio last year, holding up a pocket-size pamphlet. “And I’m going to stand here with the Founding Fathers, who wrote in the preamble, ‘We hold these truths... [etc]” Not
to nitpick, but this is not the preamble to the Constitution. It is the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence.

Okay, so I think we all know what our Speaker meant--he meant that he hadn't read the document in his hand!

Boehner is a fine and decent man, a fellow Ohioan, and one helluva statesman. How can you mock such an incredi Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Cheers Mike!!

When I read the Constitution, I just skip over the parts of it I don't like. Just like they did when they read it on the floor of the house.

B - I'd never heard of a tricorn hat before. Seen one. Didn't know what it was called. I learned something today. Time for a nap.

J - They were reading the constitution because it had never been read in congress before. It still hasn't.

MM - I see you were having a nightmare and talking in your sleep. Woke up. And went right back to sleep.

J - There's no sense in confusing yourself with facts. That's just crazy.

Is Boehner 3rd in line to the presidency? That's sad that a ranking leader of the free world fails to do his homework that should have been done in Jr. High School.

Even Ben Franklin had questions about the document. Interesting. It just goes to show you that the constitution is much like the Bible. You can make it read however you want.
