Think about it for a moment, and then picture the U.S. Congress. Pretty damn sad state of affairs we’ve got on our hands right now. It’s easier to picture the ones who believe in these brave words by John Adams.

The Democrats are trying to kill the constitutional duties of congress while advocating all sorts of unconstitutional duties. Like the Anti-Christ, they are the Anti-Constitutionalists.

Let me know if you’d like on the ping list; I’m hoping to expand it.
