Did that meaningless babble of a Sarah Palin word salad make sense in your head while you typed it?

Perfect sense, why do you have comprehension problems.

Umm, sorry . . . but no sense. It's a matter of explication problems, not comprehension problems

Area Man Passionate Defender Of What He Imagines Constitution To Be

Nov 14, 2009
ESCONDIDO, CA—Spurred by an administration he believes to be guilty of numerous transgressions, self-described American patriot Kyle Mortensen, 47, is a vehement defender of ideas he seems to think are enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and principles that brave men have fought and died for solely in his head.

Kyle Mortensen would gladly give his life to protect what he says is the Constitution's very clear stance against birth control.

"Our very way of life is under siege," said Mortensen, whose understanding of the Constitution derives not from a close reading of the document but from talk-show pundits, books by television personalities, and the limitless expanse of his own colorful imagination. "It's time for true Americans to stand up and protect the values that make us who we are."

According to Mortensen—an otherwise mild-mannered husband, father, and small-business owner—the most serious threat to his fanciful version of the 222-year-old Constitution is the attempt by far-left "traitors" to strip it of its religious foundation.

"Right there in the preamble, the authors make their priorities clear: 'one nation under God,'" said Mortensen, attributing to the Constitution a line from the Pledge of Allegiance, which itself did not include any reference to a deity until 1954. "Well, there's a reason they put that right at the top."
"Men like Madison and Jefferson were moved by the ideals of Christianity, and wanted the United States to reflect those values as a Christian nation," continued Mortensen, referring to the "Father of the Constitution," James Madison, considered by many historians to be an atheist, and Thomas Jefferson, an Enlightenment-era thinker who rejected the divinity of Christ and was in France at the time the document was written. "The words on the page speak for themselves."

According to sources who have read the nation's charter, the U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments do not contain the word "God" or "Christ."
Mortensen said his admiration for the loose assemblage of vague half-notions he calls the Constitution has only grown over time. He believes that each detail he has pulled from thin air—from prohibitions on sodomy and flag-burning, to mandatory crackdowns on immigrants, to the right of citizens not to have their hard-earned income confiscated in the form of taxes—has contributed to making it the best framework for governance "since the Ten Commandments."
"And let's not forget that when the Constitution was ratified it brought freedom to every single American," Mortensen said.

Mortensen's passion for safeguarding the elaborate fantasy world in which his conception of the Constitution resides is greatly respected by his likeminded friends and relatives, many of whom have been known to repeat his unfounded assertions verbatim when angered. Still, some friends and family members remain critical.

"Dad's great, but listening to all that talk radio has put some weird ideas into his head," said daughter Samantha, a freshman at Reed College in Portland, OR. "He believes the Constitution allows the government to torture people and ban gay marriage, yet he doesn't even know that it guarantees universal health care."

Mortensen told reporters that he'll fight until the bitter end for what he roughly supposes the Constitution to be. He acknowledged, however, that it might already be too late to win the battle.

"The freedoms our Founding Fathers spilled their blood for are vanishing before our eyes," Mortensen said. "In under a year, a fascist, socialist regime has turned a proud democracy into a totalitarian state that will soon control every facet of American life."

"Don't just take my word for it," Mortensen added. "Try reading a newspaper or watching the news sometime."

I do agree this gentleman needs to brush up,on the constitution, but I also question where his daughter gets the idea the constitution guarantees universal health care. What part of the constitution address universal health care.

So you believe no laws can be enacted in the US if they are not specifically stated in the constitution. Where did you get that notion? The constitution says nothing about a standing army either do you think the department of defense if unconstitutional. How about the department of health, education and welfare - is that unconstitutional? It's not the 10 commandments dummy.

It probably is on the teabagger websites he spends all his time on.

Good grief, the lack of actual knowledge is amazing . . . but at least Cruz will make the others look halfway intelligent

Where did I say THAT, I simply asked where in the constitution was health care guaranteed, which the young lady in the post seemed to believe it is.

So you also jump to conclusions when you have no idea what your talking about. Silly boy.

Could also be Helge that you are wrong. I have said on more than one occasion I could care less what is said about me.

Snubbies post insinuated I know nothing about the constitution, at which point I replied he had know idea what I know. Quimbian copies and pastes an article from a Calif. paper about a conservative who obviously did know little about the Constitution obviously directed at me. In that article his daughter said he did not know the constitution guarantees universal health care, this is where I questioned what part of the constitution covers that. Humbert then jumps in believing I was saying no laws could be created without specifically being mentioned in the constitution, then the three usual suspects jumped in with there typical attempt at embarrassing me. There is nothing in the smart assed remarks that would cause me to draw away from this thread, just pure childish stupidity.

FOXNEWS Now Makes $2.1 Billion a Year.

Suck it all you Fox News haters!



"The dominant cable news network for more than a decade, Ailes’ Fox News funnels billions into the coffers of Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox. SNL Kagan estimates the channel will earn $2.18 billion this year, the bulk of it from ad revenue and subscriber fees, dwarfing the potential of CNN ($1.16 billion) and MSNBC ($509 million). In fact, Ailes, 74, no longer views those networks as rivals. “We’re competing with TNT and USA and ESPN,” he says. Indeed, in February Fox News was the most-watched network in all of cable in primetime. And for the first quarter of 2015, the net jumped 10 percent in primetime among viewers 25-to-54, the demo most desired by advertisers."

I like what he said about 'rival' MSNBC:

"Will Turn on MSNBC 'To See if Their Blind Pig Can Find an Acorn'."..

Great business model, pandering to idiots.

There's a lot of them!

Another Fox News classic:

This fake Baltimore photo is from the 2014 Venezuela riots. That’s right: Fox posted a photo taken around 2,000 miles away and claimed that it was in the center of Baltimore. With the photo, they included the following text to bring people to their website:
“BALTIMORE IN FLAMES: A massive fire has broken out in a building that was under construction and the Baltimore mayor’s spokesman says it’s related to the riots…”

Ahhh the good old days. Its interesting watching old news, even from a decade ago, and remember how shit reporters of today are. Remember when they would investigate things? Find a loose strand and start unraveling it rather than the pathetic flag waving pep rally bullshit they present today.

When in doubt, blame Fox News,eh?

At this morning’s Catholic-Evangelical Leadership Summit at Georgetown, President Obama once again blamed Fox News, asserting that if we want to change poverty,“We’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues.”

Obama’s logic proceeded as follows:

I think there’s been an effort to either make folks mad at folks at the top or be mad at folks at the bottom. And I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges, leeches, don’t want to work, are lazy, are undeserving got traction. And look, it’s still being propagated. I mean, I have to say that if you watch Fox News on a regular basis, it is a constant menu — they will find folks who make me mad. I don’t know where they find them. They’re all like, ‘I don’t want to work. I just want a free Obamaphone,’ or whatever."

Sounds good to me. Dont trust bullshit mountain.

Economist Bruce Bartlett, a former adviser to both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, warned over the weekend that Fox News had damaged the Republican Party by creating a bubble for conservatives to brainwash themselves. In his paper “How Fox News Changed American Media and Political Dynamics” published earlier this month, Bartlett theorized that watching the network was essentially “self-brainwashing” for viewers, making them believe that the United States was a more conservative nation than it actually was. And so the Republican Party had responded by running radical conservatives that representative Fox News viewers, but not the true state of the electorate.
“Many conservatives live in a bubble where they watch only Fox News on television, they listen only to conservative talk radio — Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, many of the same people,” Bartlett told CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday. “When they go onto the Internet, they look at conservative websites like National Review, Newsmax, World Net Daily.”
“And so, they are completely in a universe in which they are hearing the same exact ideas, the same arguments, the same limited amount of data repeated over and over and over again. And that’s brainwashing.”
Bartlett asserted that it was a bigger problem for conservatives than liberals because they did not have their own network for a long time, and then they “drank very heavily from the Fox waters.”

We suppose you're a devotee of those 'journalists' on MSNBC then?

The conservatives I know who watch Fox News also watch the alternative cable news channels to catch up on how far out of touch these alternative channels are from reality.

Conversely, the whacked-out moonbats mired in those far-left fever swamps can't get enough of Fox News too!
