here is the democrat platform

spend more money
raise taxes
spend more money after that
make sure the cobbled together coalition of free loaders, radicals and public sector grafters get over paid so we can continue to sabotage the will of the majority of the country and be re elected.

The 14th Amendment is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever to be imposed upon us. It has done more damage to our country than a nuclear attack.

Wow. Definitely the stupidest thing I've ever read here. By a very very wide margin.

So, the amendment that codified what the Civil War won - you know, freedom for the slaves, that little thing - that was the worst thing that ever happened?

Interesting. I always wondered where the bottom of the pit known euphemistically as the conservative brain might be. Still looking for it. Haven't hit bottom yet, by the evidence.
