FOXNews.com - Publishing Company Under Fire for Putting Warning Label on Constitution

Wilder Publishing just assured itself that it won't ever get a dime out of me. And I feel sure that the majority of America agrees. Good business decision, fellas.

Hope you won't be offended when people exercise the rights given to them by this "offensive" document and put you out of business.

Wilder Publishing is really playing with fire putting that kind of warning on reprints of historical documents that most Americans hold dear.

Most Americans do not read these documents unless they are assigned to read them for a grade; so, the warning will have little effect, one way or the other.
Maybe the publisher was counting on the titillation that the warning seemingly provided to sell more of its product, but who knows.

And this is because you endorse the idea that a black person should rightly be counted only as 3/5 of a white person?

How come there's no warning label on the Bible?

So you don't know about Amendments 13, 14, and 15, Jack? You grasped at a straw there and it has been gone since those amendments were passed. Oh well, we all know what you really are.

You trust Fox Noise? Did anyone think to verify this story? I'd say get the truth first then comment.
