They have medication for your affliction. You also could try wearing a tin foil body suit to protect you from evil Bush mind Control rays and it even works on cooties as well, or so I am told.
This has little to do with Bush but if you are sick enough to think everything revolves around him than go right ahead and believe that since this issue has nothing to do with Bush. I know you have a one track mind and every thing becomes about Bush but some of us actually have opinions that are not in any way related to Bush. This is one of those which drives me to speak out against tryanny and to openly denounce something that many people in this country hold to be sacred and above reproach but like those who have come before me I too must speak out against something that undermines the ideals of freedom, and liberty. Those who opposed the Constitution recognizing that it was likely to be adopted by those who supported it in special ratifying conventions did everything possible to ensure that a Bill of Rights would be added but those of you who supported it then opposed this and it wasn't until after the Constitution was ratified and the first Congress met that they approved a Bill of Rights. I am personally grateful for these being in writing but they amount to nothing when I am not represented. You can tell me that I can say whatever I want and it doesn't mean anything if I have no representative to speak in my behalf while others in my legislative district have their representative to speak for them.
No one in this country is denied representation. Not even foreign Terrorists. You need never utter the word Constitution again either, since you haven't a clue how it works.
You have no idea how our system of government actually works or enjoy the form of tyranny that is so subtly practiced by our government. Our system is predicated upon the basis that if two or more people run for an office and one of them wins and if those who disagree with that person object they and the person they voted for can just go to hell. If you are moronic enough to think that the person who won represents the person who they defeated and those who voted for them than you are sadly deluded.
The idea of self-government requires that either we or a person of OUR choice has a say in the government of our country but in America this isn't the case since we as individuals do not have a direct say in our government (direct democracy) and we don't have a person of our choice representing us or in other words we aren't a representative republic. We like to claim that this is what we are because it makes us feel good but we are far from it. I am not alone in my assessment of the Constitution and there were a lot of people who were bold enough to say as much during the period surrounding the ratification of the Constitution but once this oppressive document had been ratified and adopted it became a bad move to do so because you would likely be attacked even more viciously by the supporters of this undemocratic and non-republican document.
I agree with Patrick Henry who said, "I need not take much pains to show that the principles of this system are extremely pernicious, impolitic, and dangerous. Is this a monarchy, like England — a compact between prince and people, with checks on the former to secure the liberty of the latter? Is this a confederacy, like Holland — an association of a number of independent states, each of which retains its individual sovereignty? It is not a democracy, wherein the people retain all their rights securely. Had these principles been adhered to, we should not have been brought to this alarming transition, from a confederacy to a consolidated government. We have no detail of these great consideration, which, in my opinion, ought to have abounded before we should recur to a government of this kind. Here is a resolution as radical as that which separated us from Great Britain. It is radical in this transition; our rights and privileges are endangered, and the sovereignty of the states will be relinquished: and cannot we plainly see that this is actually the case?"
Henry speaking of this also said, "But now, sir, the American spirit, assisted by the ropes and chains of consolidation, is about to convert this country into a powerful and mighty empire. If you make the citizens of this country agree to become the subjects of one great consolidated empire of America, your government will not have sufficient energy to keep them together. Such a government is incompatible with the genius of republicanism. There will be no checks, no real balances, in this government. What can avail your specious, imaginary balances, your rope-dancing, chain-rattling, ridiculous ideal checks and contrivances? But, sir, we are not feared by foreigners; we do not make nations tremble. Would this constitute happiness, or secure liberty? I trust, sir, our political hemisphere will ever direct their operations to the security of those objects."
He goes on to say, "Consider our situation, sir: go to the poor man, and ask him what he does. He will inform you that he enjoys the fruits of his labor, under his own fig-tree, with his wife and children around him, in peace and security. Go to every other member of society, — you will find the same tranquil ease and content; you will find no alarms or disturbances. Why, then, tell us of danger, to terrify us into an adoption of this new form of government? And yet who knows the dangers that this new system may produce?" This form of government does not exist, where heads of families preside over their lands and gather together with one another in common council to determine the things that affect them and their families instead we take from the people the very right they should possess which is the right to self-government and instead trick them into accepting the diluted vote of someone on election day. This vote means nothing if you do not vote for the person who wins because you and they still do not have a seat in your government where everyone can debate and discuss the issues but instead you find those who do not agree with you sitting there making decisions that affect you and your family while claiming to represent you when in fact they do not.
But the most insightful statement by others in Pennsylvania was expressed in these words, "The convention sat upwards of four months. The doors were kept shut, and the members brought under the most solemn engagements of secrecy. Some of those who opposed their going so far beyond their powers, retired, hopeless, from the convention others had the firmness to refuse signing the plan altogether, and many who did sign it, did it not as a system they wholly approved, but as the best that could be then obtained, and notwithstanding the time spent on this subject, it is agreed on all hands to be a work of haste and accommodation. Whilst the gilded chains were forging in the secret conclave, the meaner instruments of despotism without, were busily employed in alarming the fears of the people with dangers which did not exist, and exciting their hopes of greater advantages from the expected plan than even the best government on earth could produce."
These words should tell us something about the climate of the time and the fear people lived under at the hands of the tryants who supported the new Constitution and still do. Most of those who came out in opposition to the Constitution did so anonymously for fear of being harmed physically (there were rumors that people who opposed the constitution had been killed) but there were men such as Patrick Henry who during the Revolution had said, "give me liberty or give me death" who still had the courage to step forward and to oppose the Constitution and the tyranny it represented with all the strength he possessed. Unforunately for us, he and others who did the right thing in opposing the Constitution lost to the despots who support it and to this day you tyrants continue to support it and when people speak out against it you practice a subtle form of tyranny over their souls and expect them to back down.
In even more shocking words those in Pennsylvania who oppose the Constitution said, "During the discussion
we met with many insults, and some personal abuse; we were not even treated with decency, during the sitting of the convention, by the persons in the gallery of the house, however, we flatter ourselves that in contending for the preservation of those invaluable rights you have thought proper to commit to our charge, we acted with a spirit becoming freemen, and being desirous that you might know - the principles which actuated our conduct, and
being prohibited from inserting our reasons of dissent on the minutes of the convention, we have subjoined them for your consideration, as to you alone we are accountable. It remains with you whether you will think those inestimable privileges, which you have so ably contended for, should be
sacrificed at the shrine of despotism, or whether you mean to contend for them with the same spirit that has so often baffled the attempts of an aristocratic faction, to rivet the shackles of slavery on you and your unborn posterity."
Of course, it offends your sensibilities to learn that the Constitution is the "shrine of despotism" and is the embodiment of what every freedom loving individual opposes. We wonder why we are hated by many people around the world. We would love to believe that it is because we are a free country and that we possess some sort of liberty that they do not but the truth is that they recognize tyranny better than we do because they live under a more overt form of it than we do in the form of their governments.
In predicting the future they said, "Thus it appears that the liberties, happiness, interests, and great concerns of the whole United States, may be dependent upon the integrity, virtue, wisdom, and knowledge of 25 or 26 men. How unadequate and unsafe a representation! Inadequate because the sense and views of 3 or 4 millions of people diffused over so extensive a territory comprising such various climates products, habits, interests, and opinions, cannot be collected in so small a body; and besides, it is not a fair and equal representation of the people even in proportion to its number, for the smallest state has as much weight in the senate as the largest and from the smallness of the number to be chosen for both branches of the legislature; and from the mode of election and appointment, which is under the control of Congress, and from the nature of the thing, men of the most elevated rank in life will alone be chosen. The other orders in the society, such as farmers, traders, and mechanics, who all ought to have a competent number of their best informed men in the legislature, will be totally unrepresented."
Even if you were to increase the numbers to those who now serve in the Legislature you realize that what was said then is true today especially when it comes to the fact that "most elevated rank in life alone will be chosen" while those who work at McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Burger King, or any job making less than $40,000 a year will not be represented in Congress because it simply is impossible. These voices among others are not to be heard and it is doubtful that someone whose interests are different from theirs would be an adequate representatives of those interests. This is hard for us to accept but it is a truth that resonates and that has resonated in every period of our history but unforunately for those of us who have the sanity to recognize the problem it would take more than a majority to change it. It would take the very people whose interests it is to preserve it to change it. That is members of Congress and the State Legislatures. Americans will not choose another Revolution simply because we are tired of that kind of sick, disgusting approach to solving our problems.
You better get some better foul words to keep people from actually reading what you write. Your absolute IGNORANCE is unbelievable. If your in my area I can suggest a cuple good doctors for you to talk to.
Why thank you for telling me about my ignorance as if the opinion of my enemy means anything to me. I am also going to continue using profanity as often as I want because I do not agree with your retarded opinion that thse words are foul instead I think the words spewing forth from your mouth in support of the oppressive constitution are foul. The only good thing about the Constitution is that which was added as a direct result of people who were willing to oppose it and who even threatened to revolt if a Bill of Rights was not included. So do I support the Constitution? I support those parts which are good and hope those which are bad are removed or better yet a new Constitution drafted which deals with the inequalities and lack of representation in our government.
But my interests and the interests of my loved ones come before your stupid ass and the whore you call your wife or the bastards you call your children. I am not saying that I intend to deny others who do not agree with me their rights but that I am going to fight for my rights and if that means that your rights are denied than so be it because my rights come before yours in my mind and if you don't like it than fight for your rights and vote for the jackasses you want to represent you but do not think for a minute that on election day that the war will be an easy one you stupid bitch because I INTEND TO DEFEAT YOU AND YOURS AND TO WIN THIS WAR AGAINST YOU, YOUR SLUT OF A WIFE AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ESPECIALLY IF IT IS YOUR BITCH OF A WIFE WHO DECIDES TO REPRESENT YOU AND THE MORONS WHO AGREE WITH YOU.
