Sorry, Steve-o, but your interpretation of that clause is entirely
wrong. You're just "to" stupid.

It's not a "clause," (hahahahaha....idiot) article or amendment. It's in the
introduction, formally known as the preamble. It carries no weight
whatsoever, even IF you were coherent.

Man couldn't fly, either, when the Constitution was written, but we have

general Welfare", or are you saying the Founding Fathers expected this
country to stay exactly as it was in 1787?

So why not lobby for a constitutional amendment that would clarify the
issue? Barring that, sue for the elimination of the air force.

Nothing needs clarification. That cute phrase is to explain the purpose of
the constitution. It has ZERO weight.

In fact, if any imbiciles think the intro to the constitution is meaningful,
they probably read the ramblings on the walls of outhouses with serious
introspection also.

The Preamble is a "cute phrase"? Interesting.

Seeing the Preamble has "ZERO weight", I guess that's why our Founding
Fathers specifically repeated parts of it when enumerating the Powers of
Congress.

Sec. 8
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;

There's that pesky "general Welfare" again.

Dollars to donuts, 90% of the "righties" here have never read the
Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Get over it already. The constitution did NOT allow for progressive
taxation to provide health care for all citizens. That is a new,
socialist concept. The founding fathers would have nothing to do with
that, and you know it.

The fact that the FF saw the necessity of repeating parts of the
Preamble would lend credence to the lack of weight given the Preamble.

Of course, having Harry supporting you tends to increase the credence
of your comments.
