The following is a true letter to the editor from a North East Pennsylvania newspaper. It is frightening to think that there are people out there who think like this.
A new Constitution to reflect the present
I am fed up with conservatives who criticize everything our president and the Democrats do. They love to refer to a 200-plus-year-old document that is about as relevant today as the horse and buggy. We need a new Constitution. One that reflects our current needs and rights and Obama’s mandate for change from the American people gives him the power and indeed, the obligation to create one. We know now that the free market does not work. Obama was wise enough to know that only government could save us from ourselves and our adherence to a capitalist system that is run on greed. Let’s use this wisdom to ensure that every American has the right to health care, housing, transportation, a college education and a good-paying job. As for the current health care debate, how can the average American understand such a complex problem? We have experts in the government to figure out what is best for us. Let’s let them do the job we voted them into office to do.
No, I am not putting the writers name here out of sympathy for them.
