Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution

Wilder Publication is under fire for putting warning labels on copies of historical US documents, including the Constitution. The label warns "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today." From the article: "The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they 'might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work.'"

Exactly his point. The teabaggers think the constitution is not a living document. Even though anyone actually reading it's history and the federalist papers knows for a fact is WAS designed as a living document.

Most of these idiots also think the new testament was written by people who knew Jesus. Idiots and morons.

> if it was written today no one would be able to read it without paying some exorbitant price

Of course it would be expensive! After all. go look at the EU Constitutionfor an example of what modern Progressive politicians would write. They gotta kill a lot of trees to print a copy of that f**ker. Of course that is the beauty of ours, it is short enough EVERY person should be expected to demonstrate not just a basic knowledge of it, they should demonstrate mastery of it before being given a ballot. No Progressive would ever be elected again, which is of course why they spent the last century on a project to push it down the memory hole. First they pushed for government schools and then undermined the curriculum to remove all study of the Constitution beyond the Preamble. Beyond that the texts tell the kids what it 'says' without studying the actual text.
