Reply #83: Re: Shouldn't we be consistent in our support of our Constitutional Amendments?

Ah, now there's an interesting question to raise in this forum. In the past eight years the rights guaranteed by the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th amendments have been essentially erased. And not once did I hear the slightest cry of outrage or call to action in this forum. Of course, it was mostly "those people" who were being held without charge, arrested for their beliefs, denied their right to trial, etc. etc. WE would never be denied that stuff!
I can't shake the awful feeling that to many in this forum, if the day comes when the Bill of Rights has been whittled down to one amendment, they'll still brag about how "free" they are. Just as long as that one amendment is the 2nd.

And they'll be singing at the top of their lungs this refrain - Gibberish so monumentally meaningless; a pile of such illiterate bullshit that it earned for its composer a Presidential appointment to the National Arts Council:


"I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free."
