BARBARA'S BUZZ FROM ATLANTA

http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/freedom/doi/text.html http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am14 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101130/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_gays_in_military The Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." followed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, "1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" DADT is an abomination and goes against every moral and legal law of equality in America. Would someone please tell John McCain he took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and since he's chosen to ignore that fact, it's time to retire, it's time to resign, because he's beginning to act and look like a doddering old fool!

elite than you may think. Look around and listen carefully.

12. They want us to
get it through our heads that the Constitution was not written for us. Only them. Old white men a few Hundred years a go. If you look at the document I'm sure John McCain's name is on it.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
