but I am no Freeper (you will not find a post by me at "Freakrepublic", although I do visit from time to time to check on the wingnuts) and we have already been hoodwinked and robbed of our constitutional rights.
The 1st amendment is defunct (remember the Free Speech Zones during the last election?) The 4th amendment is dead due to the War on Some Drugs and the War on Terra and the 6th 7th and 8th are on the ropes due to Bu$h and Co (Smirky can declare American citizens "Enemy Combatants" and throw them in a hole forever--without a trial) and the 9th and 10th are ignored completely by both of the dominant parties.
In addition, the power to declare war has been ceded by the Congress to the Executive branch which is precisely why we are in an Iraqmire in central Asia. Also, the Commerce Clause has been stretched to such lengths that it now allows for the feds to regulate and rule every aspect of your life and you no longer own your body or your property. Smoke some weed or take too much of a certain a painkiller and see how fast the feds haul your ass to jail.
I am not afraid of people knowing the Constitution; all I'm saying is the federal government has no business mandating the teaching thereof, it is a matter that the states can take up if they wish, after all, that is how a federal republic is supposed to operate.

And please, do not associate me with "right wing fascists" because you really know nothing about my politics or me.
