#1 She probably can't read the 2nd Amendment and find a legal right for people to own guns, either.

#2 Blanche, you dumb biddy, it's "promote the general welfare" as in "get a job you bum", not "provide welfare checks". That means promoting a climate of laws that allow jobs to flourish instead of discriminatory (against Americans) tariffs and punishing workplace regulations that beg for what remaining jobs to be sent overseas. It means allowing people to pursue their interests and raising families w/o the government suffocating all initiative with confiscatory taxes of 50-60% of gross income.

#3 Sen. Lincoln, you ignorant C!

General Welfare means GENERAL welfare not welfare checks or robbing one part of the population to bribe another part for votes.

#6 Another example of sorrow, emotion, and feel-good, trumping reason and common sense.

#10 All persons running for Congress should be required to take a test on the Constitution. Results not graded, but posted for public view. I doubt most of them could past a impromptu test of this.

#11 Number 4 would have stumped Barry.

#12 He would have definately got number 8 wrong (How many states are there in the Union).

#13 These are just disgusting, ignorant, and arrogant people.

Blanche, learn something soon before the idiots that voted for you learn you know nothing. (and those were idiots that voted for you by the way.)

#14 FDR abandoned the Constitution and the Democrats have never looked back.

#15 Funny you should say that about FDR.

I have long since come to the conclusion that the person most responsible for saving our American Democracy, at least to this point in time, is Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto.

#16 FDR was the recipient of some of the first examples of revisionist history. Amity Shlaes gets it right in her excellent book "The Forgotten Man." Had he not died in office, he'd still be president today.

#17 We know how much boodle Mary Landrieu received. How much did Blanche get? Time to clean house (and Senate). These people are like a bunch of welfare queens ~~crack~~ on free Obama dollars. Except they are not free are they?
