Open letter to Ted Nugent - I’ll join the NRA when . . .

For the record, bho, Biden, Pelosi et al. all took oaths to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

People lie, people have no scruples. Sometimes your oath to the Constitution forces you to act against those who also took that oath, when it becomes apparent that their oath was highly dishonest.

Like the mooslims, commies have no problem with lying to achieve their goals. To paraphrase a line from my favorite movie, bho is a 6-cylinder Davis-trained commie.

Shackled by your ethics your more likely to be their b!*ch than their Huckleberry.    

My ethics are, What's good for me and mine is good and the rest can KMA.
Why do you think I plan to put the entire congress in jail and suspend the Constitution ?
So I can get things fixed so meat heads like FQ, or even a Maxine Waters or Barney Frank can't screw them up again.

Tom, this statement has been bothering me for a bit, and I need to address it. We already have a president who is getting by with ignoring it, suspending it should be an absolutely last-ditch effort.

You do not need to suspend the Constitution, you need to enforce it. You have the 10th Amendment which will allow you to make sweeping changes by EO alone. You can appoint aggressive US attorneys who will pursue the hirers of illegals, and those who pervert the laws and the Constitution, and I would suggest doing so.

And put kongress krittes in jail? WTF? What's all this rope for, huh?

I'm in agreement with Path on this one.  The last thing we want to do is suspend the Constitution.  The tool will work, and we can work with it.  Many that are ignoring it will be amazed someday when they learn what someone following the Constitution can do to them ... with rope 

Personally, I believe that if we are fighting for the Constitution to be followed we need to let it work and use it rather than suspend it.

They will be amazed briefly. Then that whole gravity thing will kick in. Still I am not amazed, but pleased, that you and Path agree with me here. A man has to have limits. Things he will simply not allow himself to do no matter how tempting they may seem at the time, no matter how necessary they seem even. A man has always got to have a line he just won't cross. If we are willing to do anything, we stand for nothing and everything we accomplish is meaningless. I think the Constitution (speaking politically) is a good limit. Its worked for quite some time, been reliable even under extreme circumstances, and unites us as the one value that a diverse socciety can pretty much agree on. Don't ever suspend it unless you want me, and most board members, taking that extended camping trip and marching towards your house.

Quick, Tom, Send me rope ... lots of rope!!!

FQ agrees with me ... This is happening way too often, and I can't take it anymore!

The Constitution is just like any other document drawn up by self serving politicians and contains several blatant errors that need to be adjusted.
For a few examples, Slavery was not addressed because Thomas Jefferson among others had his slaves mortgaged to the hilt and could not afford to free them, and did not have the courage to face down the other slave owning delegates.
There is no requirement for Senators and Representatives to be "of good Character" like there is for SCOTUS justices .
There is no mechanism to review the Constitutionality of a law before it is put in place, currently we must wait until a law is challenged before there is any review.
There are no provisions to either protect the BoR  from amendment, those "God given, unalienable rights" survive at the whim of the amendment process. Nor is there anything to prevent the passage of stupid laws like prohibition.
There is no way except armed insurrection to force the politicians to do the right thing, such as enforcing our borders.
The compromises and cowardice contained in the Constitution have already caused one war, so don't talk to me about the perfection of the document.
Every living veteran of congress should be arrested on RICO charges, the theft of the Social security trust fund and their refusal to enforce immigration law should be enough.
Lock them up ? Need to hold them somewhere while waiting for an empty phone pole or tree limb.

FQ, don't make threats like that  ("Don't ever suspend it unless you want me, and most board members, taking that extended camping trip and marching towards your house.")  If the people haven't risen up in arms yet they don't have balls enough to ever do it.
