Obama to tweak the "Constitution"

Sunday, November 2, 2008

If I read one more provocative column or listen to one more televison ad about how Senator Obama wants to be the U.S. Engineer of CHANGE I'm going to have to switch to decaf.

One of the many things on Obama's To-CHANGE list is the U.S. "Constitution." Obama is dissatisfied with - among other things American - the fact that the "Warren Court" didn't really sock it to the authors of the "Constitution," leaving it to Obama, and he alone, the monumental task of transforming the United States of America - apparently a really lousy place to be in spite of the number of Americans who have sacrificed much, given their lives on occasion, sometimes defied the bigotry of their parents, siblings and spouses, their former fellow church members, not to mention one-time close friends, all to stand up for those who were the objects of discrimination and racial bigotry - not to put too fine a spin on it.

My sanity meter soared into hyperspace when I heard Obama say the "Constitution" did an okay job on the "negative" aspects of protecting the citizens, listing those things that the federal government is not allowed to do to us, (keeping the government free of religious mandates, illegal searches, locking us up in jail without being charged with a crime, and then we have to have a speedy trial, housing federal troops in our homes, and so forth).

But he gripes that the Founding Fathers' fell short because they did not detail what the federal government should do for us. Guaranteeing "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" just isn't enough in Obama's eyes.

I think Senator Obama must see this unique American document as merely a rough draft, one that needs his tweaking, his Supreme Court-effected editing, until it passes the Marxist test for world-wide egalitarian living standards.

Obama's third book is probably underway already. The working title is probably "The New and Updated U.S. Constitution," possibly subtitled, "A Roadmap For Making the United States of America Just Like the Countries From Which Immigrants Escaped." [2009, Harpers]

To Obama and his fellow Egalitarians, it is not enough to be the human beings that God created - in God's own image, by the way - but we need to be all the same, living under the same standards, and I suppose the same rules, and have the same responsibilities. And we should make that an across-the-globe equality.... you know, like the United Nations purports to do. Unless, of course, you're Israeli or American, Taiwanese, Tibetan, to name a few of the Earth's "undesirables."

They say the senator is brilliant so I'm pretty sure that Obama realizes that there will always be someone who believes they should be the One "In Charge" of all the little egalitariat populations, the helpless, directionless, the please-tell-us-what-to-do folk, and he wants to be That Guy, the One who will tell us how unhappy and dissatisfied and oppressed we are. After all, someone needs to fill the position that Saul Alinsky once held and, of course, in a much kinder and gentler way, do the job that Jeremiah Wright does now.

Looking to the future, under the changed and unified America I want to not only be treated like everyone else, I'm going to need a few things to ensure it happens. I'll need free liposuction, electrolysis for a plague of unwanted chin hairs, a lung transplant to undo the damage that 30 years of smoking which wasn't my fault because a tobacco company got me hooked, and, of course, it goes without saying, I'll need a facelift to make me look like a short Brooke Shields (I'll need to get acting lessons later).

Who am I kidding? This will be the first time in my voting history that I will stand up for differences, and will not submit to the One-ness doctrine that Obama is hoping for.

It's a myth, this idea of unity and egality, and anyone who wants to join me in this Anti-Change and Anti-Unity position will have to pass the "I don't agree with you" test.

Are you against me, People ?!?!? Let's undo this thing!

Disclaimer: Dear Obamanites, don't bother crying, "Neo-Con-artist whiners!" "Cry-baby Liars and Word Twisters!" "Racist Smearers of the First A-A [African-American] candidate for president!" Until the First amendment is counter-amended, let me say, "Give it rest, Bunkie. " Anything I might say here today is nothing compared to the twaddle coming from Obama spokespersons. Truth comes in all colors and all languages, and until this becomes the United Marxist States of America, I'm still entitled to a piece of the truth.
