Who cares about the constitution??

calfoxwc

No, I was referring to his radio broadcast information in which he says that the Constitution was a brilliant political document, but

was flawed, it represents the flaw of civil rights...

Well, it's been a long while since I listened to it.

If I'm wrong, let me know. I am paraphrasing his saying what he said, by simply "The Constitution is a flawed document"...

Here's the link:

You know what, Cal? You're right. He did say it.

However, his focus was on the text ratified in 1789. And that one definitely was "deeply flawed".

calfoxwc

Yes, he was, Al. But he clearly says that the flawed aspect he speaks about, "continues to this day", which

refers to our current Constitution.

Am I listening to it wrong? I end up with the same appraisal every time, just like I did before.

I can't list many freedoms the "constitution" guarantees us that haven't been watered down to the point of parody.

And even those anemic few that remain can be wiped away on the whim of five memebers of the supreme court.

Less than sit on the Politburo.

It's time we quit pretending it means anything today.

I am against the banning of any weapons. If I want and can afford a warthog gatling gun, I should be able to buy it.

The Constitution was written with no designation between military weapons and civilian weapons....mainly because civilian weapons were military weapons, yet the framers are widly praised as forward thinkers. If they had wanted the military and police to be better armed than it's citizens, I am confident they would have made such a designation.

I don't think they got it right on everything else, but somehow had a brain fart on this matter.

I am against the tracking of who owns weapons, and really, testing of any kind as that is a way to track who owns a weapon.

What I am for is the vigorous prosecution of criminals and putting them away on prison farms.

Just work them to death or to the point they don't have anything left when they finally get out.

Ballpeen so you endorse Warren Buffett buying his own Boomer Submarine fully equipped with 200+ nuclear warheads and using it if he wishes???? Maybe just a F-22 raptor and one B-2 stealth bomber for his airfield in Omaha. Like you said the right to bear arms has no boundaries...........

Going back be rational and reality. Neal Boortz is just another right wing talking head nut case. So quoting him and his bellowing about about Obama shredding the constitution is hilariously funny...........

WHEN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION RIPPED THE CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS FOR EIGHT YEARS IN THE MOST DISPICABLE WAYS............and Boortz fully endorsed that shredding

Rich, you gotta start staying on topic. Name calling is no longer tolerated and reverting everything and everything to Bush is old.

Not sure if even the lefties on this board read this stuff.

Peen I ask this in a serious manner,

Why would anyone need such a weapon?

The reason this is asked is because most of this gang banging shit going on is being done with ak-47s,uzi's and weapons of these kinds and I dont understand where they have a place in a civilized world.

I dont get it,I really dont......

Help me out here.

Blowing pumpkins to pieces with a shotgun is a lot of fun. Imagine the fun it would be to rip up some old scrapped car with the nose of a Warthog. That would make for a fun afternoon.

Really

Dan.....in a civilized world, I might agree....I guess I don't think it is as civilized as some.

Bombs and delivery systems are a different deal Rich.

John, you gotta stay objective. There was nothing I said that was off topic. The topic was the constitution I addressed whom has been shredding the constitution and it has been the Bush regime. Somewhere along the line the idea of having assault weapons as being a right came into the discussion and I addressed that as well. Neil Boortz is what he is so noone called him names and he is not here anyway. And yes the damage the Bush Admin has done is not old news it is unfolding news because some perhaps you are in denial about just how much damage has and is being done.

So John all I did was reinforce the view of those who understand the damage and idea that we need to start changing our way of thinking to progress this country.

If you choose to make s such views OFF TOPIC and OLD and call it name calling and make that view the enemy, you are not attempting discussion and debate you are fostering singlularity of thought and stifling debate.

The Constitution has been shredded and Obama has not served a day in office! The off topic and old crap was slingling mud about one who has yet to perform act one and then defend the mess we have now. SO please do not say I am off topic when a right wing hater like Boortz makes claims such as his. Hopefully, there are enough folks that it gets rejected for being over the top and totally hypocritical in light of the current situation and perhaps someday his moronic views will be more silenced than you are attempting to silence me while supporting AK 47's.

Mr. T

dont tread on me!
