You really need to research the current reality outside the Bill O, Hannity and Rush L. mind set.
The main purpose of Fox is to make people more stupid.

But, don't forget Glenn B. He might be their reject, but he's still shooting off his stupid mouth.

Glenn Beck seriously has lost his hold on reality. He also needs to stop pretending to be a news guy or whatever it is he thinks he's doing and just become a damn preacher already.
All he ever does anymore is preach doomsday BS and Religious nonsense. Everyday he's predicting "we're at the crossroads now", "now it begins", "it's right around the corner", etc. Really Glenn???? How can everyday be the day we choose our fate??? What happened to all those previous days when they were the crossroads???

The Constitution is a political system. Like Democracy, Republic, Monarchy, Aristocracy, Dictatorship, Democratic Republic, and Parliamentary.
Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, and all the rest are economic systems. Neither has anything to do with the other.

You, as usual, avoid the point of the thread. Having a candidate that disparages the founding of the nation as based on racist principals and therefore the binding document, The Constitution, that articulates the principals of the nation and expect an oath to defend that document as required to become President from Sanders is a joke.

If one believes the only accord that keeps this 'nation' a nation is that Constitution then electing an individual that, as he said, "has a vision" and see the founding of the U.S. as racist, then his election could very well be the final straw that brings this nation into chaos and collapse.

If that resulting collapse is only semantically different from the desires of other enemies of the U.S.-Isis being the extreme example-then using it to point out the insanity of supporting a man who admits to that intent is well worth it.
Are the means different? Of course! Yet, it remains, if the result is the same or even remotely similar then that similarity merits being pointed out.

Not a single point made by the Sanders acolytes changes what he said and the consequences of that statement.

As far as 'universal health care' try the tenth. Numerous states have already nullified, ignored or counter legislated against Federal intrusions/laws and with virtually no response from the Feds. Pot laws being the latest.

These are state issues and frankly, you can keep your British Empire, centralized power DNA to yourself. It is an abject failure.

STILL you avoid the point and his comment. Your freaking amazing....LMAO.

I consider the destruction of the nation as anything but hyperbole. As a matter of fact, a very large number see it as inevitable.
I understand the British fixation on understatement and decorum. ATS is "Hyde Park".
I see the Constitution- the original form and intent-as the binding force of this nation and trumping, usually, the 'isms'.
Anyone who would claim the mantle of the Presidency cannot, BY DEFINITION, defame that Document. Period.

Not withstanding previous Presidents who have misused it for their own ends, at least it was after they were elected. Not a bold statement prior to their potential winning.

Do you lack the capacity for response to the point? I challenge you to respond to it rather than ducking into the never ending minutia of Constitutional interpretation as is your wont.

More of a case of Im not in the box to begun with so talking from a position with little bias.

The FIRST amendment of the US constitutions specifically says Sanders can!

Then its your job to vote against him then. I wouldn't to be honest blame you.
If your thread was "reasons I wont vote for sanders" I would likely not be mocking you right now.

No all its done is make you and your argument look stupid.
And not just to the "left" but to many of the smarter right wingers and conservatives.
Hyperbol just discredits your position and makes you look like a Rush Limbaugh. All your doing is distracting from debate of REAL issues.
Here is a good thread disscusing Real issues

I can see were your coming from.
Your using the tactic of using shock tactics and exaggeration to force home a point (You should consider a job as FOX "News").
Great for stiring up the unintelligible rabble. Not so great is people are around to see through the BS.

No but Sanders is still ENTITLED by the first amendment of the US constitution to say what he did.
He has committed no crime or killed no one.
All he had are words.
No Bombs, Machetes and No AK47's
If you dont like what he says? Well you can vote against him as is you right as a US citizen.
If anything you should overjoyed Sanders has said what he has! Least he is honest and you know EXACTLY were and how he stands! So you know you dont want to vote for him!
If only George W Bush had been so honest about his intentions for he patriot act or Obama with all the crap he done?
Least with Sanders you get what you see. And if you dont like it (and I dont blame you if you dont)? Well you have that vote of yours!

Failure?
I didn't know failure was being around nearly 800 nears longer than the USA?
I didn't know failure was being one of the only European country's to survive in one piece?
I didn't know failure was having one of the most balanced and stable domestic and social history in the west?
I didn't know failure was having the worlds longest lasting MODERN democracy?
I didn't know failure was having the developed worlds currently FASTED growing and STABLE economy?
If the UK is a failure....god knows what the USA is with its 18 trillion dollar debt, stagnant economy and civil unrest!
Of course I dont think the UK centrist systems would work in the USA. Your too bloody big!
But it seems to have worked for us throughout our nearly 1000 years of history. Especially since a tiny resource poor country with only 60 million is in the top 5 economy's and military's in the world. Hardly I would say failed...... We must be at least doing SOMETHING right!
