Just re-read the Declaration of Indepedence....give it a try to see.. |

how applicable the words then are today. It is shocking.
It seems to me that when some conservative starts harping on the intention of the framer's of US Constitution, this little document needs to be brought out and shoved down there throats.
The points made in the DoI seem to be just as directed at King GWB as any past king.
Read it and see if you agree.

Its also important to remember that the declaration was ignored from day one. The ideas of freedom, liberation, and real representation that rallied people to fight were not the ideas our government was based upon and never have been.

the only one that remembers during the late 60's and early 70's, the Nixon years, repukes were saying how out dated and un-necessary the Constitution was and how they needed to take steps to moth ball it. Funny how Nixon and the pukes back then said americans didn't need a bill of rights because the puke party would make sure they were safe from hippies and anti-war demonstrators, after all they were high on drugs and were demoralizing the american soldiers efforts to win the war. Things do happen in cycles, the pukes are back to McCarthyism and fear tactics. Remember under pukes you have nothing to fear except everyone around you, so be a good commie turn in mommy.
