17. From one American "Untermensch," to one Untermonkey...

If the People in Washington, who voted yes on the "Patriot Act," would have ever read the Constitution and understood it, they would have voted NO! It's the mis-----leaders in our Federal Government who have studied wrong! About 75% of the people, "Untermensch," know the "Master Race,"(GOP) is full of Bushit and up to zero good, as far as, upholding the law of the land. The GOP(Crony Club GOPers)have NOTHING but contempt, for the Constitution and the rule of law. They ALL think that, Laws were made only for the "Untermensch"(You and I)to obey and to abide by and that the "Master Race,"(the politicians and their corporate masters)(the "Haves" and the "Have Mores")are exempt from any kind of accountability, to, we the "Untermensch,"(people)or our legal system.

YOU CAN'T HAVE A CIVILIZED DEMOCRACY, WITHOUT LAW AND ORDER.(not a REAL democracy)

So many critical, constitutional, items changing since 9/11, means that the terrorists are winning...They are able to totally disrupt the Constitution. What MORE could they have EVER hoped and Dreamed of doing? The USSR couldn't do it, Germany couldn't do it, the Japanese couldn't do it, but in five years the GOP and the terrorists have undermined our rule of law and the Constitution, utterly and completely. Bush and friends have helped the terrorists disrupt our entire legal system.

We never needed to torture anyone before 9/11. We never needed to do away with our 230 year old Constitution before. We are losing! LOSING the AMERICA that the founding fathers made possible with their sweat and blood. Losing the America that every American soldier in every war, since 1776, has fought and died for. The terrorists and their friends the neocons, have changed America from a democracy into a police state right before our eyes and WE, LET THEM DO IT! We let them make the proudest, hardest working, most productive people on the planet into their "Untermensch".(Second Class Citizens)(Sub Humans)

Edit...Tom's and the terrorist's other enablers have distorted the Constitution so much it is almost worthless as far as PROTECTING the American Citizen, from the same brutality we witnessed in those horrid photos of Abu Ghraib! I hope Tom and his friends and neocon enablers, of the fanatics overseas, are PROUD of their part in the cheapening and ruination, of our country's legal and moral safeguards in the Constitution for us and the people around the world!

5. Maybe DeLay should read it for the first time? n/t

[bridgit]

6. ppfftt, there'ya go..

:rofl:

[acmejack]

7. Unmitigated arrogance!

A Class A Blowhard. This man has no idea of the meaning of the word humility.

[Olney Blue]

8. She has devoted her life to the law- what an arrogant insult from DeLay.

He bugs me.

[bridgit]

9. this from a guy that kills bugs for a living...

:thumbsdown:

[foreverdem]

11. He probably needs it explained

That dumbass is probably hoping she can explain it to him.

[izzie]

14. If the gov. can remove protesters to special places we should

worry. And are they wiretapping on people who do not like the war? All these things should send up flags to people. Along with what the ex-judge said.Maybe DeLay does not understand it?

[zbdent]

15. Says the guy who could be tried for bribery, a "higher crime"

than a blowjob . . .

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Very honest answer. They really do have a different interpretation

of the Constitution, and because they've been allowed to operate freely with that interpretation, it just reinforces what they think.

[bridgit]

20. i think that right, think it's further a function of believing your own...

press that your propagandist puts out on your behalf, as well as your ravings to your dead political heroes when you walk the halls of a stolen WH, as a for instance, in the middle of the night...well, not "you", but you know who i mean :hi:

[Hubert Flottz]

19. K&R...

DeLay is a POS! A Common Criminal! How could anyone but another criminal vote for a pig like that?
