Question

why does NEOKON leader Bush hate the BILL OF RIGHTS ?

Answer 1

Why do the liberals hate America? God I am sick of your idiotic questions.

Answer 2

Hmm, not sure on this one, oh wise, tolerant, well thought out deeply spiritual questioner, perhaps you should tune into that great philosopher of our time, Mr. Jerry Springer, who now has a radio show on Air America...

Wasn't it you, or was it one of the other liberal sheep, who said just the other day that all the people who watch Springer were neo-cons - while, gosh darnit, ol' Jerry is on Air America - that bastion of the liberals, now boasting as many as 17 listeners...

Answer 3

I know that you're not expecting a serious answer, but you're going to get one.

First, just so there is no confusing my answer with my personal politics or evaluation of our Commander-in-Chief...

I think that Dubya is an idiot with enough money and family
connections to keep him from being homeless.

In my estimation, Dubya is the worst president that we've
had since Herbert Hoover, who led us into the Great
Depression.

If he could get away with it, I think Dubya would try to
grab every penny he could for himself and his corporate
buddies, even if it completely destroyed the U.S. economy.

Now that we're clear on that issue, let me say that almost everyone, except for the Supreme Court dislikes some part of the Bill of Rights. If you take the time to read it, you'll find that's it's a very simple set of additions to the Constitution that probably worked out fine in the 1790's. But, our nation has changed to the point that James Madison (primary author of the document) could not have anticipated the ramifications of what he had written.

I would have to write a book to go through all the controversy. So, I'll just make a few comments on the First Amendment.

The First Amendment says that we have

*freedom of religion
*freedom of speech
*freedon of the press
*freedom of assembly
*freedom to sue the government

There is no elaboration on any of the five points. So, the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights is just that simple.

But, lets look at just two of those freedoms guaranteed to us -- freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

Freedom of religion issues:

*separation of church and state
*should churches have to pay taxes
*should private religious schools be tax free
*does freedom of religion include freedom from religion
*should worshippers who follow Santeria be allowed to slaughter animals during their religious service
*what if I wanted to resurrect the Aztec religion, which called for human sacrifice?
*should prayer be allowed in schools
*does including the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance violate the separation of Church and State?
*Is swearing on the Bible in court a violation of the separation of Church and State?
*What about "National Day of Prayer"
*If the mayor of your city has a "Mayor's Prayer Breakfast," is that a violation of church-state separation?
*How about some preacher giving an invocation at public meetings
*and on and on and on

[Obviously I can't examine each of those questions, but the two that you might find to be interesting are the ones about Santeria and Aztec religions. In the 1993 Supreme Court decision, Judge David Souter decided that animal sacrifice was a central part of the religion and should be allowed, but that his decision was not to be generalized to include human beings (Church of Lugumi Babalue Aye v. City of Hialeah).]

Freedom of Speech issues:

*sedition (preaching the overthrow of government)
*anti-war demonstrations
*obscenity
*child pornography
*libel
*slander
*flag burning

[In all cases -- except for child pornography -- the court has tended to uphold the literal meaning of the amendment, much to the chagrin of city leaders and war veterans.]

____________________________________________________

My point in taking all this time is to show you that you need to research issues that you intend to use for arguments. In a debate, if you say, "Bush hates the Bill of Rights," I can come right back and say, "You mean he's against pornography, sedition, burning the U.S. flag, and letting people kill animals during some pagan rite? Is that why you hate President Bush?"

Answer 4

And which part of the BoR are you claiming he is attacking?

I know you guys hate facts and evidence when you have the need to vent your 'feelings', but can any single one of you provide any proof to back up your ridiculous liberal spewing?

Answer 5

Because it gets in the way of him becoming the ultimate dictator. instead of the coward in chief low-life lying sack of shhhhit that he is!

Answer 7
