People need to be educated on what Socialism is. I'm tired of people going around bashing socialism (and even communism) and not knowing what the hell they're talking about.

Also when she says" by the constitution" she must not know that basically every sentence in it starts with "We, the people..." -- that sounds pretty collectivistic to me.

What's worse than ignorance is ignorance bolstered by feckless pride.

What does your last statement even mean? In the original form women's right to vote wasn't protected? You can still restore the constitution in this nation and not take away people's right to vote.

Socialism has a good side? If I want to stand outside, smoking pot, shooting an ar-15 into anything other than a human being, on land that somehow after 30 yrs of no mortgage I still have to pay taxes on, bit$hing about anything I want, that's my right! But somehow I need other people's approval is not liberty.

don´t belittle her (or my) service..

Even more reason to be afraid of it and not get in it's way...

Although... I suppose you are right a smart giant might be infinitely more terrifying!

This video does perfectly demonstrate what is going on. Right wing media is scaring the shit out of people who don't and have never paid any attention to politics.

"What are YOU going to do?" The problem is people like her don't understand that WE, THE PEOPLE decide what happens in our country. We give the government power. The constitution only restricts the power of government, all rights lay with the original owners: WE, THE PEOPLE. If the people in office cannot wield the power we give them responsibly, take it away. They can only do what we allow, they are public servants, not royalty.

I think she might be retarded.

The giant may have awoken but is still as dumb as putty.
