It's Time for An American Jihad

"An American jihad would reawaken in American citizens the certain knowledge that our Constitution is a sacred document that better defines and preserves the liberty and autonomy of human beings than the charter of any other nation on earth."

"We would urge our leaders, after their service in the U.S. Senate and Congress, to seek dual citizenship in other nations, like France and Italy and Sweden and Argentina and Brazil and Germany, and work to influence those nations to adopt laws very much like our own. We might even fund our leaders' campaigns for office in these other nations."



In the video, he uses the phrase "manifest destiny," in addition to other hilarious statements.  This is comedy gold.  Someone must have invented a time machine and got this guy from the 19th century.

Misery loves company?

our Constitution is a sacred document

See, that's the problem with the nutjobs among conservatives - it's holy, must be interpreted literally, and changes are verboten.

Or to quote Thomas Jefferson:

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

FYI, Syt: they really, really hate Jefferson, too.

Or just 2003.

Though they do like the part about feeding blood to the Tree of Liberty.

I like the part about every country in the world needing to adopt the American constitution  - and suffer that kind of governmental dysfunction?  No thanks.  I will gladly stick with the Parliamentary system.

When it comes to governments, dysfunction is the best kind of function.

Hey, if America wants to conquer the world I'm sure half of the third world would jump at the chance to be annexed by the US.

Maybe, but we are 0-2 with Iraq and Afghanistan.

He was also kinda forgetting about Vietnam when he went on about the God given right the US has to win all its wars.

[JonasSalk]

And Korea...and Afghanistan...and War of 1812...

[The Brain]

Vietnam was an era, not a war.

Oh my God never get those dudes going about Vietnam.
