WTF ???
Edited on Fri Mar-12-10 02:54 AM by Tx4obama
Someone please tell me why the fuck the Republicans/Palinites/Beckerheads want to go back to what the 'founding fathers' wrote in the 'original' U.S. Constitution - other than they MUST be against women and minorities.

Apparently they do not know/realize that in the 'original' U.S. Constitution there were no:
1) basic civil rights, property rights, and voting rights for WOMEN
2) basic civil rights, property rights, and voting rights for MINORITIES
3) civil rights and protections for GAYS
4) protections for WORKERS and regulations for industry
5) protections for CHILDREN

The U.S. Constitution was written BY MEN FOR MEN - BY MEN FOR MEN.

Women, minorities, and children were not included in the U.S. Constitution.
As of now Women, Minorities, and Children OUT NUMBER the 'white men' in the United States of America.
It is time that we all ORGANIZE and demand that we ALL retain our rights and it is time to tell the republicans that want to take OUR America backwards to STFU.

Remember: Voting is like driving, D to go forward and R to go backwards ;)

1. You should modify one statement to make it more accurate...
The U.S. Constitution was written BY MEN FOR MEN - BY MEN FOR MEN.


should read

The U.S. Constitution was written BY LAND OWNING MEN FOR LAND OWNING MEN - BY LAND OWNING MEN FOR LAND OWNING MEN.

If a man didn't own land, he could not vote. You can thank Jackson and Jacksonian Democracy for that.

The U.S. Constitution was written BY LAND OWNING WHITE PROTESTANT MEN - FOR LAND OWNING WHITE PROTESTANT MEN. :D
