You're talking about bringing the Constitution up when you're already talking politics and/or history, yes? Because I think if you're citing it in pretty much any other circumstance people should be looking at you like you're a bit crazy.
Why would I bring up the Constitution in any other circumstance, unless somebody's rights were being violated?
What I'm talking about here is like what happened to me some years back. I said the First Amendment protects free speech on the Internet, and somebody said something like, "The First Amendment is cited only by kooks."
First, welcome back, you've been missed.
Second, most lefties hate the Constitution of the United States as they hate any restrain on government. So, for them, anyone who cites the constitution is some nut who believes in limited government.
Nice to see a lefty with some respect for the Constitution. There are lots of lefties at the forum, but most of simple totalitarian types.
If lefties hate the constitution, then so do right-wingers.
The reason most called people who bring up the constitution nuts is when the Ron Paulities come in and defend it to no end. The document isn't perfect and I respect the constitution and I learn to the left side of politics.
