Bill of rights for government?
Examiner.com ^ | 07/25/10 | Conservative Examiner Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 07/26/2010 2:56:48 PM PDT by Copernicus

Second, Obama asserted that the biggest problem with the Constitution is that its Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments, place limits on government power. He then went further to suggest a horrific concept that should serve as a clear warning signal to anyone who values freedom--he would prefer that the Constitution affirm the rights of GOVERNMENT.

This is the smoking gun, the big enchilada, the proof positive that Obama and like-minded Leftists, Socialists, Marxists, Fascists, whatever you wish to call them, do not value at all the concept that citizens should be protected from government power but actually advocate for the rights of government rather than the rights of individuals.

Given this shocking fact, the following is perhaps a little foretaste, a prediction based on fact, an observation as to what the Obama minions would prefer in such a 'government bill of rights.

1. Congress shall pass no law restricting the power of government to limit the speech of citizens, limit their religious activity, prevent them from gathering in large groups to protest, or mandating the press to report only what the government deems to be 'appropriate' through its approved outlets in the mainstream media.

2. The right of the federal government to register, microstamp, restrict, ban, and/or confiscate firearms and ammunition from citizens shall not be infringed.

Since the current Congress has apparently managed to institute absurdly UnConstitutional Laws, a Bill of Rights to extend Government Power is not far-fetched.

Best regards to all,

Governments have no Rights; only Power and that is usually at the end of a sword or gun barrel!

Anyone who thinks different is one of the following, ignorant, delusional or useful idiot…

After that statement made the rounds I thought Lawrence Tribe would have tried to have Husseins law degree yanked for cheating in his con-law class faster than USC chucked Reggie’s Heisman.

This is embarrassing. How do people who voted for this @#$^!@# not run off cliffs? The news should be filled with stories of people who set themselves on fire screaming for forgiveness. This is at least a 10 million Hail Mary offense.

The real question is how to get them TO run off cliffs!(rhetorically speaking of course).

It can not be that difficult.

Best regards,

You obviously don't know the Obama rules...1. You must have life insurance. 2. You must receive permission to die. 3. The beneficiary is Obama.

4. After you die you will be duly registered as a democrat.
