"9/11 changed everything" ... no, it did NOT change the Constitution

[UrbScotty]

The Constitution still says we are entitled to rights.

If you don't like that, then GET OVER IT.

1. Ding, ding, ding! We have a winning Democratic soundbite here.

Everyone should repeat this over and over again to the media and to as many Republicans as possible.

[izzybeans]

2. That's right "The Constitution Changed Everything"

and the Bill of Rights made sure of that.

4. nice izzybeans!

14. I knew my whiney self-promotion would win someone over.

Thanks!

5. Please read my signature line...

9. This should be a campaign ad!

Short, simple and to the point!

:kick:

10. The sound bite that kills me

Randi keeps playing *asshat saying about FISA "that was 197x. This is 2006." What does that say for a document written toward the end of the 18th Century? Does that make the Constitution invalid?

[many a good man]

11. "Bush has a "pre-1776" mind set"

Love Feingold for saying that.

[EVDebs]

16. Give that a separate thread ! It's a winner by slamdunk ! nt

[UrbScotty]

23. I heard that (nt)

[progressoid]

12. "If you don't like the constitution then GET OUT!"

A nice twist on that old canard the radical right always throws out.

[MakeItSo]

13. It changed our reputation around the world, that's for sure

We went from a nation conceived and born during the Enlightenment, dedicated to reason, scientific theory, and the quest for truth, to a nation that avoids the truth at all costs, even when that avoidance imperils the inalienable rights and very lives of people both home and abroad.

[OneBlueSky]

15. 9/11 did NOT change everything . . . that's just a convenient . . .

marketing tactic that BushCo uses to further their fascist police state policies . . .

[Sejanus]

17. Fourth Amendment

The fact we are fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq doesn't alter the simple requirements of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution as it only deals with domestic searches

[OnionPatch]

18. That little ditty

"9-11 changed everything" is the most wussified thing I've ever heard Americans chant in unison.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed for my country everytime I hear someone say it. They have let the terrorists scare them into changing everything! Into giving up our rights and living in a state of fear.

I thought that was just what the terrorists wanted. :puke:

[calimary]

19. To anybody who yammers at me that "9-11 changed everything!", I hit

back with "Yeah? Well Katrina changed it BACK!"

DEAL with it.

[Initech]

20. It's about time someone said that!

[petgoat]

21. "Take My Liberty; I'm Scared of Dying," the chickenhawks

squawk.

Bunch of tories. I stuck a feather in my tinfoil hat and call it macaroni.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. Wow, 10 hours old already and only 21 replies? Let me add one, and a rec.

I think that line is brilliant and I plan to use it often. Thanks.

24. Bush is having a going out of business sale on the Constitution
