Oh my.

Of course, all of the primitives lie; it's in their nature to lie even when it's easier to be truthful.

Have you read the entire Constitution of The United States, including all amendments, from top to bottom in the past three years? My vote is Yes, but I'm curious about the numbers.

66 votes, 1 pass | Time left: Unlimited

Yes 52 (79%)
No 12 (18%)
Maybe 0 (0%)
I can't remember 0 (0%)
What Constitution? 0 (0%)
I'm not a US Citizen 0 (0%)
Why do you ask? 0 (0%)
Other 2 (3%)

1 DU member did not wish to select any of the options provided.

19. It's among the shortest constitutions in the world.

It boggles my mind that there are people who haven't read it.

I have no idea if they read it or not -however- <<IF>> they did, their reading comprehension abilities are off the charts... -The bottom, that is..-

If they understood any part of what they read, they would realize their views on the United States, its government, and its purpose as a nation are entirely wrong.

From Washington Post writer Ezra Klein who could pass for a DUmmy:
Quote
The 112th Congress has an unprecedented plan. They are going to read the Constitution-the document that each member will swear to uphold-aloud on their first day. When asked on MSNBC to comment, Washington Post writer Ezra Klein replied “It’s a gimmick. I mean, you can say two things about it. One, is that it has no binding power on anything. And two, the issue of the Constitution is not that people don’t read the text and think they’re following. The issue of the Constitution is that the text is confusing because it was written more than 100 years ago and what people believe it says differs from person to person and differs depending on what they want to get done.”
Take that, foolish members of Congress! According to Klein, the Constitution is unknowable, and is only a tool for people to push through idiosyncratic policy proposals. So much for that oath.

You mean according to what lefties want to get done.  Wait 'til a Republican tries what Obama's been doing and watch Klein and his ilk start waving the constitution around.

Perhaps one of the respondents actually read it.
The rest are lying.
The one that may have read it, didn't understand it.

That is so freaking depressing.  It seems like only a few months ago we were celebrating the Bicentennial. Now you add 38 years to it!

*sigh*

17. Nope. Only the bill of rights.

It's lke she's bragging about her ignorance.

The maharani primitive, by the way, who's a lousy housekeeper and pretty ugly, and "married" to another woman, is the one who once said she "accepted" American citizenship, as if she was doing the rest of us any favors.

They think that the Preamble IS the Constitution.  Like pelosi, they stop after "promote the general welfare" (which is NOT enshrined) and claim comprehension.

If you were to ask all of DU what the USC is I am willing to bet dollars to donuts not a single one would get it right (lurkers: It is the formal CONTRACT between the US Government and we the Governed).
