3rdnlng Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) I wonder who here is capable of such a fine display of intellect? http://www.mrconserv...-its-stupidity/ TO THE EDITOR: Republicans and “so-called” conservatives are at it again. They are claiming that the Constitution gives people the right to have guns without the permission of the government. If that were true, then how could New York and Chicago have laws against it? We Democrats are sick and tired of Republicans constantly using the Constitution to cover up their true plans, which are to make us all afraid of everyone else. Our great president came from a civilized part of the country where there is strict gun control, and he is only trying to bring the benefits of that more modern way of living to the rest of us. I don’t know the exact statistics, but I’m quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it comes to gun violence. But do Republicans and conservatives listen to the voice of reason? No, of course not. All they want to do is whine and complain about how gun control and wealth redistribution violate the Constitution, as if the Constitution were all that great, anyway. There are a lot of things that need to be changed about the Constitution, I’d say, and President Obama needs to change it. The Republicans are just trying to stand in the way, because the president is black. They even dared to question whether he was born in this country. I think all this demonstrates that the Constitution needs to be amended when it comes to the qualifications for being president. Right now, it says that a person has to be 35 years old and be a natural born citizen. Well, that is obviously unfair because there are a great many otherwise qualified people who cannot run for president because their mothers had to have a C-section. But because the Constitution was written a hundred years ago, nobody even thought of the discrimination that would result from a doctor having to deliver a baby in this unnatural way. Now that we Democrats are in control of the government, that’s just one more thing we should change in our drive to make life fair. Please withhold my name because I don’t want to get crank calls.

DC Tom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 This has to be satire... ...I hope. I think so. But on the other hand...it's Carteret County, NC. A county roughly the size of a sold-out Rich Stadium, but with one-fifth the education. So it could be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Nope. Letter to the Editor in the Carteret County (NC) News-Times. Either January 17th or 23rd of this year. Just because it was published doesn't mean the person who wrote didn't when they saw it actually was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Nope. Letter to the Editor in the Carteret County (NC) News-Times. Either January 17th or 23rd of this year. Which only means the editor's sarcasm detector was on the fritz. It definitely seems like a conservative poking fun at a liberals opinions. The part that throws me off is that at the end the writer throws in the logical stuff about C-sections. He could have added still births as well. That stuff should not seem fair to D or R.

3rdnlng Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just because it was published doesn't mean the person who wrote didn't when they saw it actually was. Yes, the person writing it could have been pulling a Crayonz, but they may have been equally serious. Have we not seen some crazy contentions on the left? I'm thinking along the lines of the video of the girl when she first learned of Obama's election, thinking she was going to have everything paid for her.

I do question when someone claims the Constituion is 100 years old. The fact that it was published with the possibility it was a crayonzesque letter says a lot about the editorial board of that paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azalin Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 most of my friends are libs, and they're not stupid. they're naive, idealistic, and continually rail against the injustices of the world, but none of them are anywhere near as moronic as the person who wrote that letter (if indeed it's an actual letter). the 'natural born citizen vs C-section' part almost caused me to strangle from laughter. thanks for sharing that.

If a lib congressman can think that Guam might tip over if we put too many people on it then this letter is possible for a lib to write. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
