Yup, we’re getting more ads scaring the hell out “patriotic,” “Constitution-loving” Americans (read Tea Baggers).
Aside: I still can’t fathom the hypocrisy of these so-called “patriots” who cloak themselves in the Constitution when many of them have no basic understanding of what’s in the Constitution. They hate the federal government so much that they claim the Constitution stands for less government and no taxes. Really? Really?! So the Constitution is partisan and gives license to engage in unregulated, unfettered free market excesses that crippled our economy in the first place. And the Constitution also gives license to oppose any taxes as if taxes are some kind of anomalous, otherworldly phenomenon. But wait, I thought:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States (U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 8).
Aside finished.
U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle recently released a new commercial criticizing, among other things, Senator Reid’s support for the DREAM Act or what Angle thinks is free tuition for illegal aliens. And as she describes Harry Reid’s support for the DREAM Act, the commercial cuts to a group of dark-skinned people creeping around a chain-link fence at night. Yes, those scary, old looking guys in the video are somehow the group of individuals the DREAM Act is supposed to help; not the current college-aged students and recent high school graduates. It’s those guys prowling around the fence at night waiting to come to America and steal jobs that Americans just can’t wait to do.
