The very concepts of honor, limited government, individual freedom, and mutual respect seem quite alien to him.
LOL.
This displays the core conceit of Liberalism, which is that it is the Government's role to solve every problem. The truth is, the people solve the problems themselves.
Makes me wonder what a “constitution as written by a liberal” would look like.
“Honestly Stuck On Stupid Leftist Butt-Munch” is more accurate.
Must me that’s why it was published in the ‘paper of record’ in the FAILED EMPIRE.
“Makes me wonder what a “constitution as written by a liberal” would look like.”
I seem to remember some half-hearted humor on this - written by those who tried to suppress their intelligence and write like a lefty.
It was not a pretty sight.
And if ever implemented, would most definitely be the cause of Civil War II.
Our Constitution, whatever its perceived flaws, is far better than the constitution of Great Britain. It has NONE.
There are no constitutional restraints on the raw power of the English government. NONE. Hence the arrival of the welfare state and socialized medicine in England. Hence the decline and fall of the secular and drunken British state.
Someone should ask the guy why he thinks the words “WE THE PEOPLE” is written so large on that mouldy old document.
***Makes me wonder what a “constitution as written by a liberal” would look like.***
Google the ‘constitution’ of the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to find the asnwer to your question.
Or ash the President, First Lady, Cass Sunstein, ad nauseam.
It’s intersting that the left cannot ensconce itself as a governing entity without lies, deceit and murder. Then, when it achieves power it cannot maintain that power without force (including minimizing the population’s gun ownership) and more lies, deceit and murder.
Yet, the Marxists see themselves as the most enlightened people on earth.
"Signed up"? That's like saying you can't eat unless you're signed up as a member of the human race. Surber does not know what he's talking about here.
A "well-regulated militia" implies two things: 1) every armed male citizen of age is automatically considered part of the militia; and "well regulated" means well-disciplined, or skilled. If the people can't keep and bear arms for themselves, and thus become competent in using them, how will they be expected to come together as the militia and defend their town, state, or country? Liberals who think the militia is something you "sign up for" are just stupid.
Surber falls into two failed and faulty mindsets in this piece: "only government can fix problems" and "words in the Constitution mean what the Progressives have defined them to mean in the last 100 years."
“I believe that Ezra Klein’s honesty was an unintentional mistake.”
Yep. When you spend a good part of your life lying about your ideology, slip ups will happen.
He imagines law and order is some sort of magical field effect ~ not just an agreement among all of us.
Frankly, I'm getting quite tired of Leftwingtard magical thinking.
Sorry, All, I guess I’m still waking up... I mistook Surber’s quotes of Klein for Surber’s own words. What I said about Surber applies to the Journolister himself, not Surber.
Great summation of the mind of a Progressive/Socialist/Marxist/ whatever they call themselves on the 28th of each month.
I’ll bet the little metrosexual turd-fondler could dazzle both of his readers with a learned article about gay sex education for 5 year olds and the benefits of multiple abortions. Ah,,, the fruits of higher education.
It was nice that he did it while were all for a few days, so we had a minute to contemplate the liberal mind, and what it thinks about our founding documents and if they had their way, where we would be in 5 minutes if they got total control.
These are the ramblings of a fool, but they are the thinking of the socialist.
Their BS about settled law has killed millions, and that same BS will soon be heard about health care
I'd really like to think you intended to write such an thoroughly ironic comment....
Some people can oversimplify anything.
