Are Conservatives with Ginsburg or the Founders on the Constitution?
American Thinker ^ | February 18, 2012 | Selwyn Duke

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg said in Egypt recently that she "would not look to the U.S. Constitution if [she] were drafting a constitution in the year 2012," it was no surprise. In that the Constitution militates against a nanny state and preserves a status quo, it is by its very nature a conservative document. This is why liberals hate it so. And, as the power of the left grows via their control over the culture, their teeth and contempt for the Constitution are displayed ever more (see Obama, Barack et al.). But what of conservatives?

Some may say that I need not ask; as reflected in the rise of the Tea Party and Ron Paul, constitutionalism is all the rage. In truth, though, while conservatives generally mean well, most just play at constitutionalism.

"What are you talking about, Duke?" you may ask. "I believe in constitutional adherence!" Well, let's conduct a little test. What do you think about Social Security?

Constitution? We have a Constitution?>>>>>>>>>>>>

You are right. Obama and his hoards of liberal fascists call it the U.S. Resititution. They swear their allegience to the U.S. Resitution and to the Nation for which it stands, one nation, divisable at the whim of the latest liberal fascist president,under a president/god.

Obama is merely the first of many liberal fascist presidents, if Obama and the RINOs have their way.
A pox on all of them ....and worse.

A good read:

Where is the "American Thinker" on the eligibility issue?

Nowhere, like the rest of the gutless cowards.

They have lost all credibility. I won't read a single thing these traitors have to say.
