Beaufort, N.C.

Jan. 17, 2013

TO THE EDITOR:

Republicans and “so-called” conservatives are at it again. They are claiming that the Constitution gives people the right to have guns without the permission of the government. If that were true, then how could New York and Chicago have laws against it?

We Democrats are sick and tired of Republicans constantly using the Constitution to cover up their true plans, which are to make us all afraid of everyone else. Our great president came from a civilized part of the country where there is strict gun control, and he is only trying to bring the benefits of that more modern way of living to the rest of us. I don’t know the exact statistics, but I’m quite certain that Chicago is a lot safer that Morehead City, when it comes to gun violence.

But do Republicans and conservatives listen to the voice of reason? No, of course not. All they want to do is whine and complain about how gun control and wealth redistribution violate the Constitution, as if the Constitution were all that great, anyway. There are a lot of things that need to be changed about the Constitution, I’d say, and President Obama needs to change it.

The Republicans are just trying to stand in the way, because the president is black. They even dared to question whether he was born in this country. I think all this demonstrates that the Constitution needs to be amended when it comes to the qualifications for being president. Right now, it says that a person has to be 35 years old and be a natural born citizen. Well, that is obviously unfair because there are a great many otherwise qualified people who cannot run for president because their mothers had to have a C-section. But because the Constitution was written a hundred years ago, nobody even thought of the discrimination that would result from a doctor having to deliver a baby in this unnatural way. Now that we Democrats are in control of the government, that’s just one more thing we should change in our drive to make life fair.

Please withhold my name because I don’t want to get crank calls.

Arent we talking about FOX news here?

:facepalm:

It's hard to believe that isn't a troll letter....anyway, moving on to the broader argument - if the constitution has become outdated and irrelevant in the opinion of the majority then there is a process to change it - amend it. Funny how few who decry how "useless" the constitution is investigate that option.

here's Chicago for you......yep REEEAALLLL SAFFFEEEE

Ok out of all that did anyone pick up the part about naturally born and the C section?

 

Cmon, this has to be a joke.

Has to be fake. Anyone with that mindset would be thrown out of the Carolinas so quick their head would spin.

Obviously a joke

Cmon, this has to be a joke.

 

Agreed. I just read the whole article and nobody could be that stupid. Well, almost nobody.

Mr. Twain said it best...

Bingo! The letter is so over the top, that I thought this was fairly obvious.

.

This troll tried a little too hard.

How could anyone take a thing that person says seriously when they go into the natural born part -- either a joke or a total moron - or both!

Umm, this reads like satire to me.

Anyone who took that seriously should take a few deep breaths and step away from the internet for a bit.

Not necessarily satire- I have been "debating" with people on my town forum ever since Sandy Hook, and I can ASSURE you there are people out there who do think exactly like this.

Oh yea off topic but listen to this gem

Have had that same experience. I agree.

If there are really people in this country that are that stupid, THEY need to be deported.

What do you expect when you have a democrat/liberal public school system indoctrinating children with group think (and a university system that continues that dogma but on steroids) paired with a media who is second only to pravda in their reporting of the "truth"??? It's no surprise America has become so dumbed down... it was by design.

This person must've been born before the Roe vs. Wade decision.
