I laughed out loud at this part of the article:

__________________________

I propose that we have a meeting of all the great minds (college professors, A-list Hollywood actors, people who watch “Downton Abbey”) to list everything people need — basics like food, transportation, and smart phones.

The first section — the “free stuff” section — of the new Bill of Rights will guarantee that everyone gets all these essentials. After that can come the “freedom” section of less useful rights that don’t actually give you anything, like freedom of speech (but let’s leave out the one about guns — they’re dangerous; people will shoot their eyes out).
And the brain trust will make it clear that if the “freedom” section ever conflicts with the “free stuff” part, then “free stuff” wins out.

With such an adamant demand from the left that a healthy young woman’s “social needs” should be government sponsored and the growing influence of the gay rights contingent, I can only imagine what we might be paying for in the future with regards to sexual social ‘amenities’.

Don't forget, the reason Obama gave for saying the Constitution is a “flawed document” was that it is negative. It only says what the government can NOT DO TO the people. It does not say what the government MUST DO FOR the people. This is ALWAYS foremost in his mind. It is how he wants to “fundamentally change” this nation.

Did you find the part about the govt having the right to regulate your flower garden, and force you to accept only their approved medical treatments?

Good stuff.

Mr. "I am my brother's keeper" himself dines in exquisite comfort night after night while his brother George lives in a cardboard box in Kenya on 12 dollars a month.

Or is it 12 dollars a year? I always forget.

Once Americans have been dumbed down to critical mass an Obama Presidency can happen..

And after deciding that you’ve seriously messed up, then a Romney or Santo presidency can happen..

Then; Newt and Ron Paul seem to be UnConsitutional in their platforms..

AT that time can the NEW Sodom be far away?..

It would be funny if it weren't true. Rome was doomed when the citizens discovered that they could vote themselves largess from the public treasury. We're heading down the same path.

It worked, I got a good laugh outta this.

Imagine a government so far gone that kid's sack lunches from home are searched and confiscated so the kids can eat government provided food at school. I am reminded of Vladimir Voinovich's novel Moscow 2042 where he satirizes that true communism would be achieved when primary matter (food) would equal secondary matter (feces).

I am hoping that was sarcasm but these days its hard to be sure.
