Would any of the left wing want to apply their new standards of original intent to include the Second Amendment? Any takers, Ludi, Cid?



I'm not sure what "new standards of original intent" means, but personally I am in favor of the right to keep and bear arms. I'm not convinced the original intent was that people should only own firearms manufactured in the 18th century or earlier. :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cog', 'I')'m surprised the left now wants to use the original intent of the Constitution as their mantra about the purpose of the First Amendment. That being the "separation of the church and state" Christine is correct, those words are not in the First Amendment. That was however the original intent.

Honestly, CO might have been able to make that excuse if she had just shut the hell up, but she had to keep going back to it, so when Coons quoted the First Amendment, she kept expressing disbelief that it actually said "Congress no make no law...."

We know for certain she a neurotic, she's an idiot, she's a loud mouth, and her home schooling/conservative indoctrination has essentially left her so handicapped that her only career choices will be grocery bagger or conservative pundit. Don't worry, she'll belly up to the wingnut welfare trough and be a millionaire.

What we don't know is what favors she's supposed to do for the people who have poured millions of dollars into her campaign.

Christine O'Donnell really did think the audience at the debate was laughing with her and that she was nailing Chris Coons on the First Amendment.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '&')quot;It's really funny the way that the media reports things," she said. "After that debate my team and I we were literally high fiving each other thinking that we had exposed he doesn't know the First Amendment, and then when we read the reports that said the opposite we were all like 'What?'"

How stupid can you be? Even the next day she doesn't get it, and continues it through the next news cycle.

May have something to do with her Irish Catholic roots. Secularism is very much a Protestant development although it's making its way through the Catholic world.

Christine O'Donnell couldn't name a Democrat currently serving in the Senate, not even the one from her home state.

Republican analyst says she makes Sarah Palin look like a Rhodes Scholar. :lol:

Separation of church and state has nothing to do with the Constitution.

Aren't you a big silly.

Oh. I get it now.

Wow. This is a bit frightening.

The crazy, religious blue management team candidate points out, correctly, that separation of church and state is not part of the Constitution, and the crazy, red team incorrectly thinks that she's made a mistake, other than being frighteningly religious, and so they embarrass themselves by scoffing at her?

And this thread is an attempt to make her look bad, not for all the easy and obvious reasons, like her bizarre interview on masturbation, but for something she's actually correct about?

It's worse than I thought out there.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he concept of separation of church and state refers to the distance in the relationship between organized religion on the one hand and the nation state on the other. The term is an offshoot of the original phrase, "wall of separation between church and state," as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists Association in 1802.

That is a two part answer: First, she is stupid in the home schooled/Christian make believe university sense. But more importantly, there will always be a class of degreed "intellectuals" (often from the christian make believe university system) who will create absurd or obnoxious theories.

For instance you can say that the Constitution does not guarantee the right of habeas corpous. Which is "true" in a very literal and stupid way - it just says that it can't be suspended except in certain cases. Clearly, the founders assumed habeas was a given, a priori. But the conservative skips that part, and says it's not in there.

Everytime I see someone like Christine O'Donnell, it lowers my already non-existent faith in humanity.

I regret saying that Christine O'Donnell is dumber than a sack of hammers, because I need to make modifications to my chicken coop for winter, and my hammers are all on strike now in protest of the insult.
