After K. Hughes, New Rule: KNOW THY US CONSTITUTION!
Edited on Sun Oct-02-05 01:30 AM by texpatriot2004
This is my idea for a new rule (thank you Bill Maher for the inspiration). The idea comes to me after Karen Hughes has completely embarrassed the US in her attempt to improve our image.If you are ever employed by a "President" (either elected or pretending to be elected) must have, at the very least, a working knowledge of the Constitution of the United States of America. Period. Not only is she embarrassing but she's also dangerous...did you guys see the article in the Guardian entitled "Osama's Little Helper." It was right on target. Karen Hughes should stay her stupid soccer mom ass at home. However, we all know that the US Constitution is not something this regime is familiar with. Perhaps they have their own version which that lying lunatic * spends his time cutting and pasting using his little scissors before coloring hour starts.

1. It's the same as televangelists batting the shit about bible verses
they don't know what they are talking about, but it doesn't matter, the money flows in anyway.

3. Hey maybe you could teach it to them? Be a mentor? A tutor?
What's your patience level? Is it a virtue you have? How about your ability to deal with evil?

4. Thanks.
I especially like the easy reference to the amendments. They keep popping up on Jeopardy!

7. I got a pocket-sized one and carry it with me. When people say
something about the Constitution and what it says (usually right-wing fundies stating an untruth), I can pull it out and ask where does it say that?

8. Teachers in most states are required to be tested on the US AND
theri state constitutions. So are, of course, new citizens.

EVERY citizen should be required the same prior to HS graduation, IMHO.
