Will Conservapedia ever translate the Constitution to take out its liberal bias?
They've taken the liberal bias out of the Bible by translating it, but I think it's time they did the same for the Constitution. The framers obviously did not intend to use the word "welfare" twice, and all that stuff about Congress having the power to tax and spend and regulate commerce is just socialist propaganda that was added when socialists translated the Constitution during the New Deal.

Read the Federalist Papers 39-44. General Welfare does not mean what you think it does.
"If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare,
and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare,
they may take the care of religion into their own hands;
they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish
and pay them out of their public treasury;
they may take into their own hands the education of children,
establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union;
they may assume the provision of the poor;
they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post-roads;
in short, every thing, from the highest object of state legislation
down to the most minute object of police,
would be thrown under the power of Congress.... Were the power
of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for,
it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature
of the limited Government established by the people of America." -Madison

They already try to take away civil rights based on religious 'reasoning' and O'Donnell tried to say there was no separation of church and state in the Constitution.
Technically, the phrase is not there but that IS the idea.
I wouldn't say ALL conservatives are that way but I'm willing toi bet the Tea Party-ers are.

The Constitution was written by "liberals", which means: "open-minded", generous, fair, tolerant. Gee, what HORRIBLE values! You people are freaking CLUELESS.

It's just a big con, man. Look, they even capitalized that syllable.
Beautifully written. It's just sad when people can't recognize clearly stated irony.
