The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.

declaration of independence 7.6x10^99, pelosi 0

update 2: apparently this post caused quite the kerfuffle in imao's comments section! here is my input, with the intent to clarify - i intend no defensiveness.
  • my choice of the word "shamelessly" was mostly facetious. the only semi-serious intent that word might hold was that i had no shame in the pro-America-anti-pelosi-ness of the content.
  • if i had intended to truly plagiarize the piece, i would not have provided links to the original.
  • harvey of imao has stated that neither he nor frank j is upset about this.
  • as my archives can show, my habit is to provide a shorter excerpt with a "read the rest"-style link.
  • the spirit of the length of this copied portion was to reinforce the seriousness of the threat that president hussein-o and his cronies are to the foundations of America. 
everybody cool now? i think the affected parties are...  ;)

Well, Nance, as long as we’re plucking random phrases from the D of I and hotgluing them to Obamacare, here’s a few more choice nuggets from the document you so obviously revere that might be more appropriately attached to this President and his sundry legislations:
  • whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it
  • a long train of abuses and usurpations
  • a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism
  • repeated injuries and usurpations
  • the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States
  • refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance
  • utterly neglected to attend
  • the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures
  • his invasions on the rights of the people
  • exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without
  • obstructed the Administration of Justice
  • sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance
  • subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution
  • abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments
  • works of death, desolation, and tyranny
  • Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation
  • excited domestic insurrections amongst us
  • Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury
  • deaf to the voice of justice
  • A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
