It is hilarious (to me) when someone resorts to the “founding fathers” “it’s in the Constitution” etc etc, argument. How many times has our government used the constitution to wipe it’s *ss ? The (don’t forget to play the national anthem for background music when you read a copy) “Patriot Act” alone proved the Constitution and Bill Of Rights are not worth the paper they are written on. With all the endless and mind boggling corruption how can any person in their right mind take politics seriously ? I cannot comprehend how ANY citizen believes ANYTHING our government says.
This is what happens when your government of laws turns into a government of men.
