Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

RUBBISH! FREEDOM OF RELIGION ALSO MEANS FREEDOM FROM RELIGION. DO YOU THINK THAT AN ATHEIST COULD BE ELECTED PRESIDENT? BUSH’S APPOINTED MINISTER OF JUSTICE FROM THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT HAD A PARTIALLY NUDE STATUE IN THE HALLS OF JUSTICE THAT HAD BEEN THERE FOR GENERATIONS, COVERED UP. CHRISTIAN FAITH ORIENTED SCHOOLD RECEIVE GOVERNMENT FUNDS. WHY WAS STEM CELL INVESTIGATION BANNED? HOW COME THE GOVERNMENT PROSECUTES RELIGIOUS CULTS THAT ARE NO CRAZIER THAN THE FORMAL RELIGIONS?

FREEDOM OF SPEECH? RUBBISH! TRY CALLING SOMEONE A RACIAL NAME. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS SO PREVALENT THAT YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL MAKING A JOKE IN PUBLIC. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUED FOR MAKING DISPARAGING REMARKS ABOUT THE PRODUCTS IN A SUPERMARKET. NOBODY IS CRIPPLED…THEY ARE DISABLED. CAN’T SAY SALESWOMAN, IT HAS TO BE SALESPERSON. A FEW YEARS AGO REAL ESTATE AGENTS CAME UNDER FIRE FOR ADVERTISING A RESIDENCE AS “EXCECUTIVE” AS IT COULD BE CONSTRUED TO EXCLUDE BLACKS. ALSO THEY WERE ADVISED NOT TO USE THE PHRASE “WALK–IN CLOSET” AS IT COULD OFFEND SOMEONE WHO COULDN’T WALK. AS SALMAN RUSHDIE QUITE RIGHTLY SAID, “IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DEFEND THE RIGHT OF PEOPLE TO SAY THINGS THAT YOU PERSONALLY FIND EVEN ABHORRENT, THEN REALLY YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH, YOU ONLY AGREE IN PEOPLE’S RIGHT TO AGREE WITH YOU.”

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS? RUBBISH! HAVE YOU SEEN A SINGLE PHOTO IN THE AMERICAN PRESS OF A DEAD WOMAN OR CHILD IN IRAQ FROM THE THOUSANDS WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED? THE US PAYS PEOPLE TO PUT FAVORABLE ARTICLES IN THE IRAQI NEWSPAPERS AND UNDERREPORTS ANY CIVILIAN CASUALTIES. THEY TAKE AWAY CELLPHONES FROM DOCTORS IN THE HOSPITALS SO THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO RELAY THE TRUTH. ANY REPORTER WHO IS HONEST ENOUGH TO ASK THE GOVERNMENT EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS WOULD NEVER BE INVITED TO A PRESS CONFERENCE AGAIN. AN INTERNET SITE, “IF AMERICANS KNEW” FOCUSED ON THE DISTORTED NEWS PROVIDED BY AP WHERE IT REPORTED THAT THE NUMBER OF PALISTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED AS 27 WHEN THE TRUE FIGURE WAS 179.

RIGHT TO ASSEMBLE? RUBBISH! IN SOME STATES YOUNG CITIZENS ARE CONFINED TO THEIR HOMES DURING CERTAIN HOURS. GROUPS OF PEOPLE ARE BANNED FROM GATHERING TOGETHER. TO PROTEST ONE NEEDS A LICENCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT OR STAND THE RISK OF BEING ARRESTED.

Amendment II A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

RUBBISH. AFTER HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF ALLOWING CITIZENS TO BEAR ARMS, THE GOVERNMENT IS NOW TRYING TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THAT THE INTENTION OF THIS AMMENDMENT WAS THAT ONLY MILITIAS COULD HAVE ARMS.

Amendment III No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

RUBBISH! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE THE OWNER OF PROPERTY? IN ACTUAL FACT YOU RENT YOUR PROPERTY FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THEY DON’T CALL IT RENT; THEY CALL IT PROPERTY TAX BUT TRY NOT PAYING IT AND SEE FOR HOW LONG YOU ARE THE OWNER.

Amendment IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

RUBBISH! SWAT TEAMS INVADE PEOPLES HOMES REGULARLY SOMETIMES GETTING THE WRONG ADDRESS AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE (WHICH THEY NEVER SEEM TO HAVE TO ANSWER FOR). THE POLICE AND VARIOUS OTHER GOVERNMENT ENTITIES CAN STOP AND INVESTIGATE YOU AT ANYTIME WITHOUT ANY TYPE OF WARRANT. IF YOU ARE SUSPECTED OF ANYTHING THE POLICE WILL SEARCH YOU WITHOUT ANY WARRANT AND ANYTHING THEY FIND WILL BE USED AS EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU. IF YOUR CAR IS STOPPED AND THE POLICE SEE A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN IT, THEY WILL CONFISCATE IT.

Amendment V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

RUBBISH. IF THE GOVERNMENT LOSES A CASE THEY ARE LIKELY TO RECHARGE YOU WITH THE SAME OFFENCE. OFTEN, AFTER CHARGING YOU WITH A STATE CRIME THEY WILL RECHARGE YOU FOR THE SAME OFFENCE WITH A FEDERAL CRIME. IF YOU OWN A HOUSE, CAR OR BOAT ETC IN WHICH EVEN A TINY AMOUNT OF ILLEGAL DRUGS ARE FOUND, THE GOVERNMENT WILL SEIZE THAT PROPERTY.

Amendment VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

RUBBISH! PEOPLE ARE KEPT FOR YEARS WITHOUT A TRIAL AND WITHOUT BEING CHARGED WITH ANY OFFENCE ALA GUANTANAMA BAY. MANY TIMES THE ACCUSED ARE TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE DISTRICT WHERE THE CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED. VERY OFTEN GOVERNMENT WITNESSES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO THE ACCUSED. AS TO HAVING THE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL, ANYONE WHO HAS INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE US CRIMINAL SYSTEM KNOWS THAT THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS PROVIDED FOR THEM ARE USUALLY TOTALLY USELESS. MANY OF THEM HAVE NEVER BEEN TO TRIAL. THEIR SOLE PURPOSE IS TO PURSUADE THE ACCUSED TO ACCEPT A PLEA BARGAIN FROM THE PROSECUTOR, WHETHER THEY ARE GUILTY OR NOT. THESE LAWYERS ARE COMMONLY KNOWN AS PUBIC DEFENDERS OR PUBLIC PRETENDERS!

Amendment VII In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

RUBBISH! IF A COMPANY IS SUED AND LOSES, THEY WILL APPEAL AND RE-APPEAL AD NAUSIUM.

Amendment VIII Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

RUBBISH! OFTEN AN ORDINARY CITIZEN IS GIVEN BAIL AND FINES FAR IN EXCESS OF THEIR ABILITY TO PAY. MANY TIMES THE REASON GIVEN IS THAT THEY CONSTITUTE A “FLIGHT RISK”. HOWEVER THIS AMENDMENT MAKES NO MENTION OF BEING ALOWED TO USE THAT EXCUSE. IF EXCESSIVE BAIL WAS NOT REQUIRED, WHY ARE THERE HUNDREDS OF BAIL BONDSMEN MAKING MONEY LENDING BAIL MONEY TO THE ACCUSED?

Amendment IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

RUBBSIH! TAKE ILLEGAL DRUGS FOR INSTANCE. WHAT BUSINESS OF THE GOVERNMENT IS IT WHAT PEOPLE PUT IN THEIR MOUTHS OR UP THEIR NOSES? IF THEY WISH TO DESTROY THIR LIVES, SURELY IT SHOULD BE THEIR OWN DECISION..

Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

RUBBISH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DICTATES TO THE STATES. TAKE THE SALE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA FOR INSTANCE. SOME STATES ALLOW IT BUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVERIDES THEM AND ARRESTS THE SELLERS.
