If Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Glenn Beck and all the Tea-Party folks think that the founding fathers got it right the first time with regards to the Constitution then they should mull this over:
1. The Constitution we currently adhere to is not the first one, it's the second one we have developed: See Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union. Got the first one right did they?
2. If the founding fathers got it right the first time how come the Constitution as been amended 27 times. An additional six amendments failed to pass; that would be 33 attempts to change the document. 10,000 amendments have been suggested but only those 33 made it to a vote.
3. When the Constitution we currently have was first passed, slavery was allowed, and no women had the right to vote. Do you think they got that right the first time?
You people show unconscionable ignorance every time you open your mouths. As for Ms Bachmann the US representative from Minnesota...she should have been required to pass a civics test before being allowed to run for office.
