It's a 30+-minute lecture. I know that the lyberals like quick little sound bites, things they don't have to think about for more than a second or two, but I would suggest that all lyberals watch and listen to this lecture. It runs contrary to your views and you might actually learn something.

It certainly does shed some light on why the US ranks low in education, increase in crime in many major cities and more immigrants entering into the US, legal or not, believe the Constitution is unimportant to them. Some are even openly hostile to the Constitution. This is true for many of the progressives, pre and post LBJ's Great Society ambition. I think many progressives truly believe mankind has the power to control everything, to include people other countries and the environment, placing more value over the environment than the livelihood of families. It's a world I just cannot comprehend. It's certainly not freedom.

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

"I don't give a god*amn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a god*amned piece of paper!"

I've talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution "a god*amned piece of paper."

And, to the Bush Administration, the Constitution of the United States is little more than toilet paper stained from all the ***** that this group of power-mad despots have dumped on the freedoms that "god*amned piece of paper" used to guarantee.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, while still White House counsel, wrote that the "Constitution is an outdated document."

Both the Democrat and Republican party embrace a more progressive agenda which is difficult at times to tell them apart. I'm talking about the more moderate Republicans.
