I just picked up my old government book that I taught from to find the real year, 1215, when the Magna Carta was written.

As to those comedians, only one of them is a comedian, but that video was so obviously staged with Morgan taking part in it. The best part of all this thread is that few have seen that video and all have to talk about Colbert being a clown. When he pulled the third copy of the Constitution from his waist band it was more than obvious what was going on.

Roy, you're better off not talking about the obvious.

You failed on that attempt. I don't think you can find the place where I accused Democrats of being critters without referring to Republicans along with them. Just so you can know, I once read where someone during the Civil War referred to Congress critters and thought it was very cute so I often refer to Congress critters but never to one party or the other as critters. Nope, I don't call the enemy critter where politics are concerned, they all get it the same.

My mistake. I assumed you to be the same person as the one who used the same user-name as you for post #57 in this thread.

I mean, 1.5 hours is plenty for a nutty person to pretend to be you.

Not only have I not violated that pile of crap today, I never do. My doctors tell me I can stay around longer if I don't use alcohol so I abstain. I could hold the number of beers I have drank in the last 40 years in one hand and I never drink anything stronger than that.

Happy wining and dining this evening.

He called attention to the fact that the UK does not have a written Constitution or a Second Amendment and Morgan's answer had to be that we don't have any guns followed by the fact they do have 40 or 50 shootings each year. Maybe Morgan is very liberal in thought since he didn't seem to understand what he had said.


Colbert Skewers CNN
I like the Constitution but would like to see it as a more strict control over any part of the federal government. I would like to see an amendment that would impose a ten year expiration on any act of the federal government that is NOT an actual ratified and adopted amendment and any renewal of that act of government would require a two thirds majority of BOTH houses of Congress.

So you really don't know what The Rapture is to be. You ought have stayed away from that answer.

Thank you, I really don't think most conservatives and liberals are that far off in political beliefs.

That's good, I couldn't imagine how bad you would be if you were a drunk too.
