It's fairly dumb to not understand this. That's the whole point of the post - that Scalia has balls to accuse the left of stealing the Constitution when they themselves are in the act of destroying it. It's obvious who is threatening the Constitution here - which is why I said it is probably Scalia's unconscious guilt that drives him to say what he did.

You don't even suspect what the original "Constitiution" meant to address ..... soooo I'll tell you.... it was a departure from the (at the time) British and European tradition of class or caste. Which held that YOU were what your parents were..... period. If you were the son of a cobbler or a carpenter... that was YOUR destiny in life ..... period. The Intent of our constitution was to release YOU.... and .... ME ....and ALL from that mentality. Liberty and freedom meant (to our founding fathers) freedom to be what OUR capabilities allowed..... a place where we could swim or sink according to our own inate abilities. It NEVER intended to GUARANTEE success to the incompentent. Until you understand that you understand NOTHING about our country or it's founders.....

Political Correctness defined :
A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

You must understand, this Gentleman has been shaped by the Welfare System. He got his "Education" from Affirmative Action, and actually believes we owe him and his kind everything. |
