In view of these vexing legal technicalities, I hereby disband the previously-convened committee to draft a blog-comments constitution.

Whew! God is kind and merciful.

“The professionally offended class will never back down. It’s their freaking JOB to find things to be offended by and to literally make a federal case out of every Christmas carol and person saying “God bless you” when somebody else sneezes.”

Let’s see how you feel about it when there are state constitutions disqualifying Christians from holding office. And don’t talk to the rest of us about the professionally offended class. Your brethren had control of all three branches of government for six years and you whiners STILL thought you were being persecuted for your faith.

I used a /s tag above but, alas, like a fool I enclosed it in angle brackets and so it went to HTML heaven.

Well, that’s what scofflaws like me deserve, I guess!

It is hard for me to see the point of making it legal for single women to go parachuting on Sunday. Shoot, I’ve been doing it for nearly 40 years and nobody has ever said squat to me about it. I DEMAND to be arrested. Unjust laws are unjust and must be resisted by every right thinking, liberty-loving patriot!

I think there’s a difference between a blue law still on the books and discrimination that’s encoded into a constitution. It will be interesting to see if Arkansas is still so hateful that it can’t even take this obvious mistake off of its constitution.

Would you have the same attitude if this were a constitutional reference that made a black person 2/3 of a citizen? I’m thinking you’re more of a hypocrite than a racist. You must have absolutely hated yourself when you were an atheist.

“And thus yet another law that nobody ever read (like the Stimulus Bill) will remain on the books, gathering dust until someone re-discovers it and gets re-offended by it.”

LOL Sad but true RT!! Though, I thought Obama had vowed to have government transparency? I thought that since we are a so-called democracy, he was adamant about the government be responsible and disclosing their spending activities so that the public could view it. So much for that! And people called Bush a liar????? Pot callin’ the kettle black.

What? No committee?
