6. It's the same on this side of the aisle...

The complete ignorance of the very foundations of our own government has brought about this state of affairs. There are just as many Democrats as ignorant as that caller. They are EQUALLY dangerous. When was the last time you heard a teacher, or education pundit declare the need for 'civics' to be brought back into the schools? Not the kneejerk useless social and current events crap...real civics: the kind that explain the structure of the various levels of government, the documents that give authority fro those structures. Pretty sound bet not one in 100 have ecver heard a teacher or educator call for civics to be brought back into the schools. And yet normal people bewail cry constantly about this or that being unconstitutional, or illegal. When they themselves haven't the vaguest notion of what they speak. DU is FILLED with such utterances, day, after day and they differ only in perspective from the ignorant drivel of their counterparts on the criminal side of the aisle.

Ask yourself, "Am I one of those ignorant jackasses?" and if so what will I do to try and become less ignorant of the workings of my own government...including the school boards, cities and counties in which I live.

7. I imagine that caller could not recite one item from the Bill of Rights.

All they want is a fuhrer.

8. I wish I had stayed in the car longer to hear

but it was cold and I had to get back inside

9. A "republican constitution"

Doesn't the Constitution promise to forever provide a republican form of government?

That promise was made for many reasons but a primary one was to forever preclude the possibility that democracy could ever gain a foothold in the United States of America . . .

That promise ensures that certain conditions exist and will be continued (forcibly if needed) to keep that promise. Unlisted powers are granted to the government just to protect the founding principles of this nation. The powers government possesses reside in two places . . . in the general powers from the Constitution and those that reside in the "prerogative" of the federal government.

I would surmise the caller was alluding to how far we, as a people have permitted our elected servants to pervert those ideals and have allowed this government to stray so far from those republican principles.

Or we could just say the caller wanted to enact a constitution written by the Republican party . . . that sure would be easy . . .
