Been listening to the news on and off all day. I guess they did read the Constitution in the House of Reps today -- but cut out reference to the 3/5ths and other clauses regarding "persons held to service or labor." I don't know. Slavery was part of our history and it was repealed (that magic word!). It's kinda like censoring Mark Twain.
I'm really kind of surprised that so many liberal-socialists were so incensed about reading the Constitution. Some were positively furious about it. I suppose like holding up a crucifix in front of a vampire, or brandishing silver bullets with a werewolf in the room. Ezra Klein, who works for the Washington Post, seemed to see the whole thing as absurd. After all, who gives a shit about the Constitution? Apparently Mr. Klein is a graduate of the Pazzo Pelosi Academy of jurisprudence.
What's even worse is the self-proclaimed liberal "scholars," who look at the Constitution as a nice document that was meant to be superseded. After all, the Founding Fathers didn't really know much about government, did they? Why, the Constitution is standing in the way of "progress."
Progress to what, you know? A forward motion by itself doesn't imply a worthwhile destination. That is to say, you can "progress" into a brick wall or a pile of manure. Just because you're busy-busy-busy and doing things doesn't mean you're doing worthwhile things. And I must say, I've been rather appalled at how stupid and just plain ignorant the liberals are as they try to argue against conservative principles. I mean, really, I hope they keep on talking, because the more the more the say, the more obvious becomes their addle-brained, knee-jerk, pig-headed stupidity.
By the way, Reps Anthony Weiner (the weiner) and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (also a weiner) have been all over TV whining and yelping and exposing their lack of rationality. All they say is, "We need...." I need a couple million myself. But it's rather silly to actually believe that "I should have...." and/or "Other people should give me....." I think Weiner and Wasserman-Schultz are breathing examples of the failure of public education in the USA.
Let's see, we already have the Twit Sisters (Maine senators), so perhaps Weiner and Wasserman-Schultz should become the Doubletalk Twins. How's that? They both talk A LOT, and very fast, and the more they talk, the less sense they make.
Heard from Paul Ryan no less than three times today talking about how the CBO's report on socialized medicine is "smoke and mirrors." Steve King, another Rep, noted that the bill could only work if doctors accepted a 21% cut in the pay they get for Medicare patients. Won't happen. Doctors would probably find something else to do. And Paul Ryan has come up with a sort of total deficit of $701 BILLION to pay for socialized medicine over 10 years, I believe. Over 20 years, it's more than a trillion.
But go ahead, Weiner, Wasserman-Schultz, McGovern, Hastings, Slaughter, Pelosi, Comrade, keep on insisting that socialized medicine will cut costs overall.
Nobody believes them anymore, or ever really did. Which is why they had to bribe so many senators to get that bill through. It just goes to show you, when you exclude your circle of friends to other people who only agree with you -- or worse, who only suck up to you in hopes of gaining favors -- you tend to lose all sense of perspective and the general "narrative thread" about real life on the planet.
Somehow, I think the 112th congress is going to be just a whole lot of fun.
Save the Republic.
