The Disposable Constitution, Part ?

A heads up from Jim Burroway at Box Turtle Bulletin on this post from Christian supremacist Stacy Harp:

The following is from Israel Today and may the USA follow in Israel’s footsteps.

Knesset approves ‘Gay Pride’ bills

Israel’s Knesset on Wednesday voted in favor of two bills that would severely curtail the homosexual community’s ability to flaunt their perverse lifestyle before the rest of the country.

The first bill would provide the Jerusalem City Council the authority to ban any public event that would offend public sensitivities in the holy city. Israel’s homosexual community has been trying for more than a year to hold a gay “pride” parade in the capital.

The second bill calls for banning mass homosexual public events anywhere in Israel.


"May the USA follow in Israel's footsteps." As Burroway so rightly points out, that would violate the First Amendment provision regarding the right of "the people peaceably to assemble."

But then, the woman's part of Bush's base. That means the Consitution is like toilet paper -- flush and forget.

(Yeah, I know I don't link to hate sites, but I decided to this time, just to remind everyone how repulsive viciousness and smallness can be, and how fundamentally anti-American people like this are.)
