The Days After "Constitution Day"

The past few days have been a disappointment to me. Oh sure, the economy tanked, but that's not it.

Obama's fervent support doesn't care about what he says or does as long as he's called "Democrat". He has said this about the Constitution in his popular 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope", he writes, “I have to side with Justice Breyer’s view of the Constitution, that it is not a static, but rather a living document and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world.” In other words, the United States Constitution is a “living document” that Obama would like to twist and change.

And, John McCain's folks have set at naught his wartime abrogating his sworn responsibility to the Constitution. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here, but it needs to be discussed. Furthermore, had John McCain and his fellow Republicans truly wanted to end legal abortion, they could have passed Congressman Ron Paul's Sanctity of Life Act. Year after year, Dr. Paul introduced this bill, and year after year, it sat and collected dust in the document room on Capitol Hill.

My friend Alan Caruba (http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/) says, (I've posted this before)

"The nation’s capital is all about politics. It’s a company town and everyone who lives or works there knows that “issues” may energize those who follow events from afar, but it is taxation and the redistribution of money that is the real business of Congress. Who gets to do that is the reason the two parties square off against one another."

This is what we see today. The media won't hear of a third party candidate. And thus, we won't either. You can find out something about a true patriot at http://www.baldwin08.com/ .

Thanks for your time.
