Hello Children,
Y’all might recollect {Here} my taking a certain, unnamed Islamofascist appeaser to task for his blind, unquestioning loyalty to the Constitution.
Now it’s time to show this hippy and his long-haired liberal activist judge buddies how a PATRIOT answers conflicts with the Constitution!
If’n there’s one thing us REAL Americans know from watching Fox, it’s that we should be willing to give up some of our freedoms for some security!
As REAL American Bill O’Reilly points out {Here}, since it’s been done before, there shouldn’t be no problem doing it again:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)BARACK OBAMA: As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
With all due respect, the president is wrong. During the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus because he wanted the union to win the conflict. He suspended our ideals in order to win. Now, I believe Mr. Lincoln is one of President Obama's role models.
On Gitmo, Mr. Obama is playing to his far-left base. "Talking Points" understands that, but I must warn you, this is very risky business.
As usual, ol’ Bill has it right!
Just cause he don’t know his American history ain’t no reason to discount what he says!
And just cause it ain’t quite a equal comparison shouldn’t call into question ol’ Bill’s reasoning abilities.
Even the most basic research on the intertubes reveals the differences, namely that Abe Lincoln (and he ain’t no great President nohow!) suspended habeas corpus due to a nationwide insurrection (that was based entirely on states’ rights!), which implies that habeas corpus MUST be reinstated following the conclusion of the insurrection.
Here’s the key phrase: that during the existing insurrection, and as a necessary measure for suppressing the same
If we were to do that today (as Bill suggests), that would mean suspending rights for the duration of the “War on Terror,” a war which ain’t actually defined, so the rights would be suspended indefinitely.
But all that ain’t important. What is important is that Bill has pointed the way for the GOP out of the wilderness!
It’s time the Conservative movement mobilized behind a cause; an idea that will restore America as the world’s beacon of democracy!
It’s time to amend the Constitution!
What we need is an amendment appointing a FOURTH branch of government, one concerned with the spiritual growth of America!
This here person, let’s just call his new position Grand Parson, would be given the power to draft laws, declare war, negotiate and ratify treaties…just unimportant stuff so as the President won’t be distracted by all that minutiae.
I nominate Pat Robertson.
Now, this here amendment should also suspend (or amend) the following Rights:
First Amendment Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (Amended. America needs to return to God…the right version of God, though. None of that Catholic hooey, or Mormons…Protestant and Baptists only. Plus, with a state religion, we could do away with all that nonsense about “free press.” A merging of religion and state would mean the government is doing the work of God, so there wouldn’t be no need for redress. )
Second Amendment A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (Suspended for anyone NOT a Conservative W.A.S.P. Everybody else is to be suspected of treason, ESPECIALLY the gays.)
Third Amendment No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law. (Suspended. What, don’t you support the troops? Or are you a traitor?!)
Fourth Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. (Suspended. No more coddling criminals!)
Fifth Amendment No person shall be held to answer for any capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. (Suspended. We got to get tough with these criminals!)
Sixth Amendment In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense. (Suspended. More lib legalese to protect criminals)
Seventh Amendment In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law. (Suspended! Lord have mercy! I done forgot just how many of these “rights” exist just so criminals get a free pass! Enough with all this “innocent til proven guilt” nonsense! If you’re arrested, it must mean you did it. Why else would you be arrested? The new Christian Morality Police forces would only arrest the guilty!)
Eighth Amendment Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. (Suspended. Do I really need to say it again?)
Ninth Amendment The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. (Suspended. Sometimes the government NEEDS to restrict other rights! Especially if’n informed by the Morality Police.)
Tenth Amenement The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. (Amended. This one’s fine, but it needs to be understood that if’n any state crosses God’s voice on earth – the Grand Parson and his holy Morality Police – then they might just be in for a world of hurt!)
I’m afeard this might be the last chance us Conservatives got to seize power back from the Satan-worshipping/terrorist-appeasing/atheist/Marxist/Islamofascist Democrats!
We ain’t too popular with the general populace (I don’t know why! We done a right good job running the country the last eight years!). We ain’t got the numbers or the firepower for an outright revolution (thanks to the libs’ assault rifle ban back in the ‘90s). We certainly ain’t got the legislative power we had before.
Our only hope is an Amendment to the Constitution that would make the Constitution illegal!
Obviously, Bill O’Reilly and America’s favorite idiot-savant (Jim Hoft) would support this {Here}, as will any self-respecting Conservative!
Won't you please think of the children (white only)?
