Reply #5: It's Fun To Needle Wingie-Dingies w/Federalist Papers, BUT [View All]

[Vogon_Glory]

I admit that it's great fun to needle right wingie-dingies with the Federalist Papers, especially the more obnoxious reactionaries who boast about their belief about "strict constructionism" and other right-wing shibboleths, but it doesn't work as well as I'd like. Usually when you flatten some right-winger's point or other with something from the Federalist Papers written by Hamilton or Madison, their knee-jerk reaction is to say that such passages have been "misinterpreted."

Yeah, right. Sure :sarcasm:

Somewhere in my upbringing, I was taught that if I lied like some of these self-described G*d-fearing "conservatives," I'd be incinerated by a thunderbolt hurled by a wrathful J*h*v*h, with an eternity in eternal Hellfire to follow.

I'd recommend a trip through The Federalist Papers for all aspiring Democrats, especially in these times.
