Though this is an original thought on my part I doubt I am the first to bring it up. It occured to me today that the liberals/dems (though not exclusively)are the ones trying to change our country from what it was intended to be. A quick look at the BoR will show you what I mean.
A1- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
Now I fail to see how that translates to "removal of religion". This one has been mutated beyond belief. What do you think free exorcise means? I say it doesn't mean a community has to hide their statues or Christmas trees from sight.
A2- A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Again, pretty straight forward. This has been attacked by Dems with such malice that it is almost comical. How can you take this any other way? Hello, McFly..... Maybe they meant actual arms, like as in your limbs? Wow is all I can say.
A4- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Ok, I can see where the Patriot act can be at odds with this. I need to do more research here. I would however argue that this is a departure from core conservative beliefs. We generally want big brother out of our business and yours.
A10- The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
This one is profound, Just think of all the programs that dems have put under the federal tent! I mean Daaaamn, read it! If the Federal Government does not have this duty spelled out to them, then it's not under their power/jurisdiction, simple really.
Since so much bastardization has occured on our founding documents it is no surprise to me that our system is so F'd up with judges writing law etc... It hurts my head.
Now please don't give me examples of specific people on my side doing this or that. I am talking about the core platforms of each party. I think it is pretty obvious which one has lost its way. As a homework project I would love to see a BoR written the way libs would have it. I don't need one from the conservatives as I have read that one already.
Man, rereading this I sound like Speeder except with supporting facts
I need a beer.
