GOP's proposed version of the Constitution!


The Constitution, the last time I checked, reads;


We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

And are they ever pissed!!!!


When they are finished though, it will read;

We the wealthy, white, Evangelical Christian, Straight, gun-toting, non-unionized People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

We the wealthy, white, Evangelical Christian, Straight (or in closet), gun-toting, non-unionized People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Theocracy, establish Justice for us, insure domestic Tranquility around our mansions, provide for perpetual war, promote the general Welfare for Banks, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity Only, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

and I think you've got it.

Maybe you could replace that wordy "do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America" with "now file an IPO for United States of America, Incorporated (stock symbol: USA)."
