Constitutional Amendments
02.27.04 (11:40 am)   [edit]
Bush has come out for a Constitutional Amendment proposing that marriage be defined as a union between a man and a women. Along those lines I propose another amendment that separates men and women in bowling leagues and tennis. No more mixed doubles. I mean what kind of message is being sent to our kids, that men and women can compete together in sports - it's unnatural, perverted, and degrading to gender-specific sports!


But seriously. The Puckered Right see the Constitution as a piece of paper that they can use to wipe their bottoms before shoving it in our faces. An Amendment to define marriage today. Tomorrow an Amendment against flag burning. But flag burning is merely a symbolic gesture so better to make that Amendment a ban against ALL forms of symbolic gestures against the U.S. Government whether graphic, written, or verbal. And, of course, we'll need a Federal Censorship Committee to review all allegations and make policy. Perhaps the current F.C.C. revitalized by an influx of Right-Wing Evangelicals will take on the additional responsibilities. They'll need to review content on T.V., newspapers, e-mail, IRC, and, of course, the Internet. Anyone found criticizing the Government will be forced to serve in the MIlitary or go to prison. As an additional bonus, this committee will also be authorized to censor anything they deem pornographic. That should clean things up.


And more Amendments. How about one outlawing abortion, period. All pregnant women will carry to term. And here's a cute kicker. The babies, if not adopted after a certain period, will be raised by the Government to serve in the MIlitary or National Police.


And to prevent pregnancies, sex before marriage will also be outlawed by an Amendment. Violaters will be required to serve in the Military, or go to prison.


We can have an Amendment against drugs. Convicted users will either go into the Military or go to jail.


Likely there will be a massive influx of youngsters in to the Military. The Military infrastructure will need to be beefed up. I'm sure a company like Halliburton will accept a lucrative contract and accept the challenge. With a swollen Military we'll need an enemy to attack. China or the rest of the Middle East should do.


There should be an Amendment removing the separation betwen Church and State. Face it, our money mentions God so the war is essentially over. God is everywhere and we are a Christian nation according to the Puckered Right. (Blessings to Saint Mel for driving that nail home.) The Amendment will declare Jesus Christ the National Lord and Savior but (for now) other religions will be tolerated as long as they publicly show acceptance of the Amendment. High Schools kids will have to watch Gibson's "The Passion" to graduate, like they (used to) watch "Red Asphalt" in Drivers Ed. School vouchers for private schools will be the norm. Those who can't afford private schools at all will have the choice between what's left of the Public School system or the Military.


In a non-related note, Schwarzenegger came back from an East Coast visit to Bush. The Gov didn't get any money from Bush for California, perhaps as a Federal message that California wackiness on marriage won't be tolerated. However Schwarzy made the trip worthwhile by raising funds for his own political coffers. Good. I was concerned his account was getting low and that he was spending too much time on California Politics.


Back to Reality, does any one out there care what these Puckered Political types are doing to our country? OK, we don't have a lot of money but there must be some way to get organized and make changes. Stop the corruption. Stop the Constitutional abuse. Restore our Freedoms and our Sanity. Bush and the Puckered Right seek to use our Constitution as a tool of divisiveness and oppression - qualities that are most un-American.

A enjoyable read.

(Saying you support an amendment, actively campaigning for it is one thing. Will it ever happen? Not a chance. Amending the Constitution is too hard--purposely so. Just ask Bill Clinton.)

An amendment that is bigoted against a group of people who do not hurt others and obey the law, represents the beginning of the end of the US Constitution.

Winston....all men are created equal. Do we really need to get into this argument? I don't disagree, but let's not pretend this all started with GWB.
