Is it just me
or is the second amendment the only part of the constitution the repugs like? I am not trying to be flame bait. Just asking a question.

1. They also like the one that says it's American to screw as many people as you want...
...in any way you want ~ for money or just to get your rocks off.

4. I never realized that was part of the constitution
But based on the way things are going you are probably right.

13. yeah, the preamble really reads like this...
the pursuit of life*, liberty* and the pursuit of i've got mine so fuck you.

*said right is pursuant to that deemed acceptable by those who feel that they know better and that what they want is what you will get whether you like it or not.

2. Nah
they like the Fifth Amendment almost as much as the Second. The rest of the Bill of Rights are Liberal burrs under their collective saddles though...

3. Let's them be phony patriots
Just like getting all riled up about fetuses lets them express phony piety without ever having to actually do anything constructive for anybody.

Phony Greedy Fucks. That's all they are.

10. You asked about one amendment
You got answers. If you have questions about the rest of the constitution, ask.

15. I understand the constitution
I was kinda being a smart ass regarding the 2nd amendment and the narrow minded bigots who show up at presidential events with guns. I am pretty sure that they wouldn't have allowed them within twenty miles of the asshole,

6. They only like the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Edited on Tue Aug-18-09 04:39 PM by TexasObserver
They like the freedom of religion, as they misunderstand it, from the 1st.

They like the second.

They like the third.

They hate the 4th, the 5th, the 6th, and the 8th.

They love the 9th and 10th, as they misunderstand them.

They hate the 13th, 14th, and 15th, except to the extent they have perverted the 14th to protect property interests and political contributions.

7. i think some believe all other rights can be gotten (or taken) by using
or threatening the use of the "arms" supposedly guaranteed to every individual by the 2nd?

8. Sure seems like it. I have some Rep friends and the second is the one that probably
comes up the most though I agree with them on it so not exactly a debating point between us. About the only other one we agree on and agree neither side really cares about but likes to throw around when the other 'team' is in power is the 10th.

14. The ones they DON'T like:
Thou shalt not murder
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's ass (or his wife's ass, either)
Thou shalt not commit adultry
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not have any other Gods before me

Oh shit, they've gone and convinced me that Jesus wrote the Constitution.

20. Shoot, I totally missed the biggest and best: Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Without hypocrisy, there would be no Conservative, Family Values party.
