Since today is Constitution Day……Sept. 17, 1787 the Constitution became the preeminent  law of the land…….

I know I bitch a lot about the Constitution and what politicians do and say in the name of the document…..at times I must claim intellectual bankruptcy because I do NOT understand the thinking nor the logical of those that stand on the Constitution as a political platform.

Have you noticed that Repubs tote the Constitution around like it was the Holy Bible and at other times they act like it is a ticket for the Tonite show?……the time has come for someone to step up and say just what part does this Constitution play in American political society……either it is the word and rule and laws of the land or it is a piece of paper that is worthless as the used toilet paper in your commode….what is it going to be?

I have already posted on the attempts by conservs to repeal parts of the Constitution…the 14th and 17th amendment to be accurate…..apparently these sections do not fit into their political plan or it is just a political tap dance to attract voters….either way it is repulsive on many many levels.  Recently when confronted by a disgruntled Alaskan Palin starting try to tell the person of what she was doing, at least in the political field….when asked what she, Palin, was fighting for she answered….

To elect candidates who understand the Constitution, to protect our military interests so that we can keep on fightin’ for our constitution that will protect some of the freedoms that evidently are important to you too.

Fighting for the Constitution?  In what way is she doing so?  A typical political answer…no specifics…lots of generalizations and slogans….sad that these dipsticks use such a tactic….it explains NOTHING to the voter……

I apologize to my conservative friends…but I must say this……John Stuart Mills once observed, “Not all conservatives are stupid but most stupid people are conservative”.
