Socialism prepares to ’steam roll’ Georgia Congressman
November 6, 2009 at 4:39 pm by Andisheh Nouraee in News
At the GOP rally/Tea Party at the U.S. Capitol yesterday, Rep. Paul Broun (R – CrazyPartsOfGeorgia) had a stern warning for Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi:
“Go tell your Congressman you’re not going to eat this rotten, stinking fish that is . . . [awkward pause] Pelosi health care!
We’re going to put a stop sign in front of her steam roll of socialism! Go to it, patriots!”
I haven’t played Rock-Paper-Scissors in a while, but I’m pretty sure steam roller beats stop sign. Here’s a video. Broun’s comments begin at the 4:35 mark.
While we’re on the subject of gratuitous dumbassitude masquerading as steadfast patriotism, at the same event yesterday House Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner’s held up what he claimed was his copy of the U.S. Constitution and read aloud from the section he described as its preamble:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Those words are not from the Constitution, but from the Declaration of Independence.
Doh!

Bo-ner was almost as bad as that jackass Roland Burris saying that the Constitution said the gov was supposed to provide for health.

These self-loathing white folks are a credit to their race.

“I’m pretty sure steam roller beats stop sign”
Also that tank sure whipped up on that little China man in Tiananmen Square back in ‘89.

Declaration of Independence “contained” in and by the U.S. Constitution, and, the Constitution understood “within the spirit” of the Declaration of Independence.
It’s accurate to define the Declaration of Independence as a part of the Constitution, because it is. Even the Supreme Court recognizes this.

Constitutionalist, that’s one of the most absurd comments I’ve ever read on this site.
They are different documents. One was written in 1776. The other was written in 1787.
If I told you I was about to read aloud from Gospel of Matthew and proceeded to read aloud from the Gospel of John, would you then say “Oh, same thing, they’re both from the New Testament.”
He’s the House Minority leader and he doesn’t now the basics of civics. That’s inexcusable.

Forgive him he knows not how to read. Also he is an idiot.
