Politics & Government - 29 March 2007

Bill of Rights (Liberal Version)

Amendment I
There shall be no show of respect for any Christian religion, or people who believe in a Christian religion, or Christian-based holidays, and no one who professes belief in any Christian religion shall be considered fit for any government position or office. No law shall abridge the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people, peaceably or otherwise, to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances, unless that speech, that press or those people are in support the actions of Republicans, or in condemnation of the actions of Democrats, or might be construed as giving offense to anyone.

Amendment II
The military and police being the only forces necessary to the security of the State, the right of the common people to keep and bear arms shall be removed, weighed down with restrictions and regulations until private citizens can no longer own anything that might be used as a weapon.

Amendment III
No soldier shall, in time of peace, be regarded as necessary to maintaining that peace. When at home, soldiers of any rank are to be considered disposable, interchangeable, dull-witted robots, who can be instantly trained at need, and considered dangerous, uncontrollable, dull-witted barbarians bent on murder, rapine and torture when overseas. As a group, American soldiers are to be lauded and pitied, but individually, reviled.

Amendment IV
The right of all people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against any searches and seizures shall not be violated without a court-ordered warrant, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by the kind of evidence of wrongdoing that could only be gathered with a warrant, and the warrant must precisely describe the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Personal security shall be considered inviolable for American citizens, foreigners living in America, and foreigners living elsewhere.

Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, because crimes are the fault of society, and not the individual. Republicans and Conservatives, on the other hand, shall be deemed guilty upon indictment by a grand jury, or even upon accusation of wrongdoing. No person shall be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb, nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, unless that person show evidence of Conservative thinking. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, unless that person shall be unborn or mentally incapacitated, or otherwise be deemed useless to the State, or a burden. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation, public use being defined as anything that might benefit the State in some way, including higher tax revenue from said property.

Amendment VI
In all prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial in the media, and later, if necessary, by jury. Guilt shall be determined by the extent of public outcry that can be created over the nature of the crime, but reduced by the level of celebrity status enjoyed by the accused. The word of anonymous witnesses and experts may be used as evidence in the media trial. If a person found guilty of a crime is able to claim disadvantaged status -- meaning non-white, non-Christian, non-male, poor or homosexual -- that person shall have the right to full and open public sympathy by celebrities and members of the media, unless that person happens to be Conservative or Republican, both of which are forbidden to members of disadvantaged groups.

Amendment VII
The right of trial by jury shall be preserved for captured opponents during time of war, who shall be accorded all the rights and benefits of American citizens in addition to the disadvantaged person status, which shall automatically be granted to all "enemies" of America.

Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted, not even curtailment of any freedoms or rights whatsoever. Those held for committing a crime shall be afforded luxuries in entertainment and food to make up for the injustice of being incarcerated, as well as the right to at least one book deal.

Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people, especially the unquestionable rights of abortion, tax-paid health care and gay marriage.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution are reserved to the Judiciary, who shall have the power to overturn decisions made by vote of the people, amend the Constitution and even change the meaning of the words written herein at will and without recourse by the people.

As soon as you start criticizing Bush or Republicans they start ranting oh you hate America, you want the terrorists to win, you're the enemy from within, blah, blah, blah.

If liberals have the "race card", conservatives got the treason card and the liberal media card. Don't take any responsibility. Just blame the media.

It's not a topical or a sarcastic question, I really want to know why this was not a realistic option to a war that's how old?
Couldn't less than 20 Marines have done the job in Iraq or anywhere else America has gone since the 1980s?

I keep hearing this assertion and I'm sorry, but it's crap. None of us has lost our freedom to speak freely. Don't assume that freedom comes with a guarantee that no one will react, or react negatively, to what you have to say. You are still allowed to speak. You do not have a Constitutional right to the final word.

I'm amazed at how few people in the general public, media, and politics have neither the brains nor guts to call our tactical situation in Iraq precisely what it is. An occupation.

Proof positive that if you repeat something often enough, people will believe it.

The leader of germany in the 1940's............. ummmm... Hitler! oh ya. Well, remember how if you said something bad about him or didn't like him they'd throw you in a prison or a camp without even a trial. Hmmmmmmmmmm................. Now lets think about this.......

I was told he was in the Air Force !? If he was alive today, he would be in his late 60's. He died of cancer. He lived in MONTREAL, CANADA when he died.

Is it legal for public schools to be sending home religious materials, such as ads for "this Sunday’s revival at this church" or "resurrection Easter egg hunt" events at local churches?

Also is it legal they hold "bible classes" as an elective during normal school hours.

Now your child doesn't have to attend...but if they do not, they sit in an empty classroom with 1 or 2 other kids or get shuffled off to another class (normally the grade below)

This often adds to childhood pressures as it becomes a reason to tease the child that didn't attend.

Are they able to do this to kids?....are the pressures of school not enough?

this is happening in NC state...please answer only if you really know something about this I do intend to take action on this matter.

Company A submits a bid for a project by Company B. After doing so, Company A realizes that a mistake has been made in the calculations and that fulfilling the conditions will bring about bankruptcy. Nonetheless, they cannot withdraw their bid and win the contract. Even though Company A is still legally bound to perform, is there any way out of the contract, taking into account the harm that it will bring to employees and subcontractors which will invariably not be paid in full?
