Why are conservatives clueless about our Constitution?

[bigrebnc1775]

Conservatives wrap themselves in the Constitution and act like they are the only ones concerned with the founders principles in crafting this great document

The key component of our Constitution that Conservatives have declared war on is the idea of compromise. Our founders created a form of governent that was built on the assumption that there would be compromise. Congressmen and Senators must compromise with each other to craft a bill and get it passed....

I will give you this if you will give me that

That is how our government has functioned for hundreds of years. Instead, Conservatives have instituted a policy of....If I don't get my way, nothing will get done

That attitude is an insult to our founders who formed our very government out of compromise

When you have an idea about the constitution come lets talk.

 

[turtledude]

Actually, that is the ONLY way to get things done with a Congress that refuses to compromise. Would you prefer a compromise of..."Since you won't do anything, I won't do anything either"?

Yes, I would prefer that. The less Congress does the better.

You seem to believe that the more legislation congress cranks out the better. The record shows the opposite is the case.

Ah yes....the joys of anarchy

You actually prefer to be some minion taking orders than making your own decisions, don't you Worm Tongue?

Yes....I do prefer belonging to the greatest society in the history of mankind

"Belonging to a society" means you have to take orders from government minions like some serf?

More likely he is firmly attached to the public teat

They aren't "clueless" exactly...they just think the founders stopped writing after the 2nd Amendment...and only the 1st part of the 2nd Amendment. They pretend the "well regulated" part wasn't written.

The term "well regulated" refers to the mechanism for proper functioning. A well regulated engine, being essential to the proper function of an automobile, the right of the people to change their oil, shall not be infringed.

Hope that helps!

Ah, shitflinger is flinging shit.

Troll on shitflinger, troll on..

What is trolling about expecting our legislators to be able to compromise?
It used to be an American value

How does a militia function properly?

Command structure, training, registered and well maintained weapons, members in good physical condition

Prepared for that gun owners?

You claim that conservatives are "clueless" about a document you have never read and are dedicated to destroying - whilst misattributing elements to the document.

Find me the word "compromise" in there, shitflinger.

How does a militia function properly?

By being properly armed with regulation arms - i.e. "well regulated."

You may be full of shit, but at least you base your idiocy on absolutely nothing.

He had to have been a postal clerk or a DMV clerk....

gubmint union meant he couldn't be fired, with utter contempt for the public at his mercy. Retired at 52 with full benefits leached from taxpayers, but still bitches about "the rich."

Congressman Keith Rothfus Press Releases Rothfus The House Has Acted But The Senate Has Not

Read this and weep. over 200 bills in the Senate either passed unanimously or with no opposition, were sponsored by democrats or passed with democratic support and are being ignored by Reid. So much for Rightwingers claim that Reid is so smart.

Sorry Bubba, having 2-3 red dog Dems, ISN'T 'support'

Did you READ the link it was more than a couple dems. Hell about 80 of the bills were proposed by democrats and over 100 had no opposition at all.

Background on House Bills Stuck in the Senate

347 House-passed bills are stuck in the Senate.

196 of the 347 bills passed in the House passed with no opposition.

Over 98% of these bills passed with support from both Democrats and Republicans

Beyond those, 58 more bills passed under suspension (meaning they required at least 2/3 support).

In sum, 254 of the 347 bills passed by the House and waiting in the Senate either passed with no opposition, or with 2/3 support of the entire House.

61 of the 347 bills passed by the House were introduced by Democrats. Yet Harry Reid has refused to even bring up those.

The framework of our government cannot function without compromise

Barring compromise you get GRIDLOCK.......far from what our founders envisioned

And , of course, "compromise" means accepting fascism and socialism as our economic system. Taxpayers must feed you, provide health insurance you, clothe you and quench your thirst.

At the most basic level, a functioning militia needs to be armed. Otherwise it's just a protest.

Your statement is completely argumentative and has nothing to do with the wording of the 2nd amendment. The amendment states nothing about any point you made. It is very specific what it does cover. These discussions go smoother if we all stay on point.

“And , of course, "compromise" means accepting fascism and socialism as our economic system. Taxpayers must feed you, provide health insurance you, clothe you and quench your thirst.”

Don't know about 'compromise' but we could all do without this sort of inane, ignorant, and ridiculous hyperbole.

Nope. It's really only ever been a liberal value. It's a scheme where leftists get half of what they want, an right-wingers get only stuff they don't want.

It's not hyperbole. Republicans compromised every step of the way from the government we had in 1914 to the fascist welfare state we suffer under today.

Where does any document about the Militia say their weapons have to be registered?

So then, you couldn't find "compromise" in the Constitution? You are clueless about the document you seek to destroy?

We all knew this.

Now how the fuck can you have a well regulated militia if you have no idea what kind of weapons they have?

Mr DINGLE BERRY SIR:


In 1787 “well-regulated” meant circa 1787? meant well-trained and equipped
