I like this one too...

The Emperor: [to the Senate] In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society which I assure you will last for ten thousand years.




[Senate fills with enormous applause]


Padmé: [to Bail Organa]
 So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause.



Very similar to the State of the Union speech Obama gave saying that he would and could bypass congress and the Dems all cheered for him.

Yeah, especially for making the Constitution so hard to change.

Look at Vermont, for an example.  Vermont's of course an extremist wingnut state, full of moonbats who'd like to abolish the freedom to bear arms.

But for whatever reason, the right to bear arms is in the state constitution, and so it's too hard to change it.  The gun-grabbing Democrats, liberals, and primitives just have to live with it.

It's just a really odd situation, but I enjoy it.
  As a Vermonter for the last 50 yrs, I can tell you if any candidate in VT came out against the 2nd Amendment they would be soundly defeated election night.  it might drive up conservative turnout so much that the whole state would swing.  Unfortunately, the liberal media in VT knows never, ever bring up the word gun control.
