Republicans want to drastically change our U.S. Constitution, the one they say they love so much
Edited on Thu Aug-05-10 04:35 PM by Tx4obama
Despite calling themselves “constitutionalists” who want to “protect the Constitution,” and “strict constructionists,” conservatives want to change the Constitution as we know it. Think Progress runs down the agenda:

* Repealing citizenship
* Repealing Congress’ power to regulate the economy
* Repealing Congress’ power to spend money
* Repealing Congress’ power to raise money
* Repealing equality
* Repealing fundamental rights
* Repealing election of senators

4. They try to destroy everything they say they love.
So, when they claim to love this country, be afraid. Be very afraid.
