How Dummies Set A New Tone

January 27, 2011

The Dummies Follow Boehner and Read aloud the Constitution.

Notes;
1. It’s time for Washington to have a new tone … And to set the new tone in Washington, we’re going to read our beloved Constitution to you.

“Republicans in the House of Representatives flexed their new political muscle with a multiple-hour, line-by-line reading of the Constitution. It was the first time that such a reading had taken place publicly in the chamber and it fulfilled a campaign pledge pushed by the GOP’s conservative wing and the ‘ tea party” movement.”

2. Here in my pocket is my constitution.

“ ‘This is my copy of the Constitution,’ John Boehner, the Speaker of the House, said at a Tea Party rally in Ohio last year, holding up a pocket-size pamphlet.”

3. Here it is, and “I’m going to stand here with the Founding Fathers, who wrote in the preamble, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
“ ‘I’m going to stand here with the Founding Fathers, who wrote in the preamble, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ Not to nitpick, but this is not the preamble to the Constitution. It is the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence.”

4. “We the people-“ “That’s my favorite part.”

Could there be any doubt?

5. And to make a Christian country … That’s what the founders intended.

“Our Founders expected that Christianity — and no other religion — would receive support from the government as long as that support did not violate peoples’ consciences and their right to worship. They would have found utterly incredible the idea that all religions, including paganism, be treated with equal deference.”

6. Impeach Obama! Yay!

7. The most corrupt President ever…

Incoming House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said on Sunday that when he previously said during a radio interview Rush Limbaugh that Obama “has been one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times,” he was referring to the Obama administration and not the president himself.

9. … and his Harvard elitism.

Asked whether Obama shares most Americans’ values on the mosque and other issues, Paul responds: “I think he is a liberal elitist and that he believes that he knows what is best for people. And this is true of a lot of liberals.

14. … engaging daily in blood libel.

“Within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible.” Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin Swings at Media’s Blood Libel, Kate Schwartz, 1-12-2011 http://www.newser.com/story/109570/sarah-palin-swings-at-medias-blood-libel.html
