Uh... you never read the constitution old man. I'm tired of incoherent morons occupying our government halls. Where are the scholars of social science? Where are the men of principle who stand on it even when it's not popular? The only one I see is Ron Paul.
There's taking a quote out of context, and there's taking a quote out of context where the dude isn't even given a chance to finish his sentence. It takes a special kind of sleazy to present that straight-faced.
@SirFalstaff44 Explain how. I guess if someone made a 5 minute speech and there was a video of them that showed 5 seconds of them saying, "I like to kill babies," would you say it was taken out of context then?
OK @amitbarfs, can you show how how this is a Fox News deal? This video was sourced from CNN and posted by some guy called "gw 15679" Is HE fox news [sic]? So it's put up or shut-up time lefty. Or are you just one of those leftist trolls who regurgitates what the DNC tells him to say.
@amitbarfs Oooo. That hurts. Calling me faggot. You're such a little boy.
So what are you saying then? That McDermott didn't say "Silly Constitution"? Are you saying that Fox News dubbed the tape and he didn't say that? I've looked at the clip six times and I don't see anything to identity it as a Fox piece. No credits no nothing. So point it out to me a**hole. Oh, and just to make sure you get your third grade spelling right, "fox news" is a proper name so it's capitalized like: Fox News.
@amitbarfs: Why not answer the questions a**hole? All you got is flapping jaws and nothing else. No proof. Nothing. You call names and obfuscate. YOU are the cancer pal. You and your little ankle biter morons hear the big kids talk bad about Fox News and then . . . you can say it too! Very good! Good little parrot! OK a**hole. I'll ask you one more time. Where's the PROOF that this clip was edited or sourced from Fox News? P-R-O-O-F, PROOF.
@amitbarfs: You mean that silly little Constitution that allows you to say "cunts" and not get your empty little head chopped off or your pink little ass thrown in jail? That one? You're such a frigging tool. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
@amitbarfs. I can see your point. And you know, seeing as you don't like it, you can cure the problem. Isn't that great? You can just hop a plane and move to another county that doesn't have one. If they'll take you. Like Cuba or Venezuela or Afghanistan or Iran or the Gaza Strip or most any place in Africa. Vietnam is nice this time of year. Maybe Sudan would be a nice place for you. So, you see, if you don't like that rotten old Constitution you can just go where it ain't. Bye, bye!
@amitbarfs If you're an American citizen you suck balls for saying "fuck the Constitution." ...or you're just a complete moronic imbecilic idiotic fucktard.
If you're not American, then FUCK YOU and take your dumbass country with you.
i am a citizen of america, but am not patriotic because i don't think i should be loyal to a country just because i live in some quasi-arbitrarily written political boundaries.
fuck america, fuck you, and fuck the constitution. let's remember, it was written in the slave days by slave owning cunts. fuck the founding fathers. fuck politics.
@amitbarfs They're based upon the principles of personal liberties. Let's remember the only reason we're allowed to say "FUCK YOU" or even "fuck the constitution" is BECAUSE of the Constitution and its 1st Amendment. We're protected by it.
Slavery has nothing to do with the fundamental principles of governing. Basically all of the founding fathers were against slavery, hence they negotiated the ban of importing of slaves (they knew they couldn't outright cut it off).
no i'm not. i'm just politically incorrect that's all. the founding fucktards were against slavery but they owned slaves themselves. nothing in my statement is incorrect. i understand they give american children very whitewashed history books in their schooling but if you actually read unbiased books they will tell you that the founding fagtards owned slaves.
@amitbarfs No, you're just a complete moron. Don't try to flaunt it as not being politically correct. You're just politically inaccurate and rude.
The simple statement "were against slavery but owned slaves themselves" in and of itself is true, but a true understanding of the times and history (as you certainly don't have) would allow for clearly mitigating circumstances.
FYI I don't read history books. I listen to lectures and read historical documents written by great men in history.
your comment is dripping with flop sweat, gramps. maybe back in your day they taught you that the founding enslavers opposed slavery, but in historically accurate and unbiased books (i.e. not ones approved by your government schools) it is a well-researched fact that the founding whippers owned slaves and had no qualms about it.
next you will tell me you suck cock but are against fellating men.
@amitbarfs Gramps? Ha! Actually, thank you. Most people tell me I look like a 17 yo.
I don't go to public schools. In fact I go to one of the only colleges that doesn't accept federal grants.
It's impossible to explain in full for you here, but yes, they owned slaves. Yes, they were against slavery. However, it was looked at EXTREMELY differently back then. For instance, what would the slaves have done if they were freed? That's right, they couldn't do anything whatsoever.
@amitbarfs Men like Washington saw his slaves as family (albeit like children) and they treated them as such.
Also, if they were FOR slavery, then why did they give blacks a political standing when they included representation for them? (albeit 3/4 per man)...which they were barely able to get in. And why did they impose a ban on the importation of slaves in the early 1800s?
@amitbarfs Like I said...you need to learn history, not just what TV series tell you about Southern slave owners. A minority of them were despicably cruel, but it's still atrocious either way. Even Lincoln was for an Amendment that would legalize slavery forever... until he knew that he had to free the slaves as a strategical move in the war.
Why DID they spend so much time reading the Constitution? It's been around for over 200 years, is widely published, and taught to school children! Isn't it a bit "silly" for them to waste our time while more pressing matters wear on? How many jobs did that reading create? How many soldiers' lives did it save? How much did it reduce the deficit? I can't believe any American honestly supports these guys wasting time. What are we paying them for? Fools.
In a March 31 HotAir post, Ed Morrissey wrote that the video clip was "[a] little unfair" because "McDermott is objecting to the time spent on reading the Constitution at the beginning of the 112th Session of Congress, not the Constitution itself."
He said he is tired of read the Constitution and all the "Silly" things they have been doing the past 16 weeks. Which means they read the constitution on the house floor durring that time so I take it that was silly also.
Just one more Un-American Statement by a Liberal.
Incomprehensible, how the McDermott types have followers who shove him into our system of government.
How can an American acquire such an jaded mindset.
I mean the whole lot, voters alike.
When filling a position in Washington, you would think: "Sharpness of mind" would be upper most on your agenda...perhaps a good trait, prior to opening your inarticulate mouth.
For everyone saying that it's taken out of context, why don't you post the rest of his statement as a video response, so that we can hear the truth you know so much about?
@Dotcom656 Rep. McDermott appears to be afraid of the Constitution. I wonder why? There is nothing silly about reading and understanding the United States Constitution. I like the idea of having a special session in Congress to conduct an official reading of the Constitution. (Can anybody say Bachmann?)
Democrat Representative declares he's tired of reading the Constitution. Well, seeing as how he swore to "support and
defend the Constitution", it's not like he didn't know what he was getting into when accepted the position.
And is it too much to ask for him to read the laws that establishes our Federal Government?... Surely we couldn't have expected him to read anything at all when he cast a vote for Øbamacare.
These traitors do really deserve to be shot, they are more so enemies of America than Osama Bin Laden. When the civil war erupts patriots will go after traitors like McDermott first and foremost.
“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
@amitbarfs Feel free to head South to Venezuela with Hugo or push for an amendment. The Constitution is our overarching legal document for the USA and thus is never "outdated". There's a process for changing it.
Wouldn't you agree that it's really outdated? We live in much different times than the douchenozzles who founded this country did. I think we should scrap it and start over with a much newer and more inclusive constitution that doesn't discriminate against people, for starters.
@amitbarfs No I wouldn't agree. There's a process to change it. If you can't get it changed with that process, then the country doesn't agree with you. Deal with it.
You mean amend it? That's like amending Obamacare. The better solution is to end it and come up with something more relevant. I have a real problem with honoring a document crafted by douchebags.
@amitbarfs Then again... Venezuelan immigration isn't very tight. Have a nice trip. And just a guess... if you think the founders are douchebags, you probably don't have a clue about them. By clue of course I mean actual facts rather than the revisionist history and talking points.
By douchebags I mean they owned slaves and shit. Other than that, yeah probably nice guys. Just like Obama is probably a nice guy. However, selling us out and forcing us to buy a product from his rich insurance company buddies is a douchebag move. It's really no different than the founding fathers' support of slavery. Any leader who forces compliance is a giant tool.
@amitbarfs But most of them are the ones that put the wheels in motion to end slavery at a time when many of them had businesses that profited from slavery. That's pretty awesome. Just because half of the convention wouldn't buy in without slavery doesn't mean you can paint them all that way. Look up when and why the slave trade ended. Check out the real reason for the 3/5 clause. You might change your tune. Most of the guys we know as "founders" were going against the flow to end slavery.
Uh... you never read the constitution old man. I'm tired of incoherent morons occupying our government halls. Where are the scholars of social science? Where are the men of principle who stand on it even when it's not popular? The only one I see is Ron Paul.
