Ed, Ed! Why pretend?

Got a soft spot for the oldest written constitution in the world, the one for which every president upon taking office must swear an oath to preserve, protect and defend?
Then you're clearly a "jackass" according to Ed Schultz, who joins a long sordid list of lefties who can't hide their contempt for the founding charter that George Washington once described as "a guide which I will never abandon." Yes, he was the Father of our Country, but clearly didn't have a clue.
Since MSNBC decided last summer that it no longer needed Schultz's working class shtick, he's taken to bloviating daily on a podcast along with many of the same guests who used to nod in vigorous agreement with him on The Ed Show.
There he was on Friday, venting about GOP opposition to more laws restricting gun ownership in the wake of the San Bernardino bloodbath, when it became apparent that his loathing for Republicans also extends to the Constitution --

So what has to happen here, folks, and this is political tough talk -- if the Democrats don't want any silence, then they have to speak up and just tell the American people we can't get anything done on gun violence because Republicans are in the way. Put it on the obstructors. Put it on the people who always defend a piece of paper that was two hundred and twenty-five years old or whatever, back in a society that doesn't even exist today, the Second Amendment. There has to be rules and regulations for a contemporary society.
Translation: what's needed isn't that parched, faded Constitution, the one that nobody can actually read anymore, even if you crouch and squint over the copy in the National Archives. Nay, we needed a living, breathing Constitution, preferably numbering in the thousands of pages with all the new rules and regs, starting with strict limits on access to guns and public criticism of The Religion of Peace.
But until the Democrats become not silent and say that we can't do gun violence control in this country or any kind of gun measures because Republicans are in the way. Then maybe you might strike a nerve with the American people to get rid of some of these jackasses who live by an old document that is just totally outdated. We've changed the Constitution before! We've added to the Constitution but we simply cannot do anything about gun violence in America.
Later in the show, during a conversation with stalwart Obama apologist Jonathan Alter, came a moment of unintended hilarity from Schultz --

Jonathan, politically, do the Democrats need to become more vocal about this in blaming Republicans? And, you know, it's old style politics, I know, and vilifying the other side. But the fact is the fact that we can't get anything done on gun violence in America, any measures at all, because of the Republicans. And I don't hear the Democrats laying the straight talk out there like that and putting the onus on these, on the majority in the House, and talking about the filibusters in the Senate. What do you -- of course if wouldn't be now because they have the majority. What about that?
D'oh! Back when they were the minority in the Senate, Republicans all too often resorted to that evil stall known the filibuster. Now that it's Dems in the minority, the filibuster has once again proven indispensable, thank you very much. Liberals hardly mention the filibuster these days, go figure. But when this liberal did, he promptly strayed from the script.
Note the forward mounted rear sights. The No. 4 had the rear sights over the bolt. Also the No. 4 had an inch and a half or so of bare barrel forward of the front sight. Definitely a No. 1.
Oy Ok a little humanities. JRandom got me started on this. It’s from googled archives.gov
The term parchment is a general term for an animal skin which has been prepared for writing or printing. Parchment has been made for centuries, and is usually calf, goat, or sheep skin. The term vellum from the French veau refers to a parchment made from calf skin. The manufacture of parchment is quite involved. After the skin is removed from the animal and any hair or flesh is cleaned away, it is stretched on a wooden frame. While it is stretched, the parchment maker or parchminer scrapes the surface of the skin with a special curved knife. In order to create tension in the skin, scraping is alternated by wetting and drying the skin. The parchment is scraped, wetted, and dried several times to bring it to the right thickness and tautness. Sometimes a final finish is achieved using pumice as an abrasive followed by chalk in order to prepare the surface of the skin to accept ink.
Look around you, Ed. There’s a lot that is pretty messed up. All of the mess comes from two actions too many modern Americans seem hell-bent on doing: forgetting God and abandoning the Constitution.
Looks like a Lee-Enfield.
Me too. I did calligraphy. I actually used it in high school to get into the popular clique. :)
Writing stuff like “Rob Loves Nancy” and all that rot. :)
:I think you forgot, the lefties get to pick and choose at their whim what is good and what is not, who gets what rights and who gets none. Plus they get to change their minds to suit given circumstances.”
Of course you’re correct. But perhaps if we played the same game...then THEY would start harping about “following the Constitution”...
Then good, let’s take this SOBs freedom of speech
And also by now, the 32% rate of unwed parenthood among whites is steadily escalating past the tipping point where the black family began to die off, and so are crime, school failure, substance abuse and alienation.
But like with prayer in schools, the elites get rid of outmoded, unnecessary relics of the past "for the children", because they know what's best for the rest of us. Look how well it's been working out.
Next up, the Constitution.
Ed, Ed! Why pretend?
islamist facilitator.
Schultz is German. It is the past tense of Schitz.
The lines have been drawn for far too long. Maybe it’s time to try a national divorce and divide the community property.
try violating the constitution Eddie ole Boy and see how outdated it is
I thought he died.
We should be glad it isn’t actually on hemp paper or some lefty would have rolled’er up and smoked’er down by now.
Schultz is an old POS that is outdated..
That’s about right. Some were made in the US..
“Don’t laugh! You’re next!”
No Constitution, no God... Seducing anarchy, Ed?
