The So-Called Constitutionist

Eversince the beginning of the Obama Era, Republicans are panicing that their "rights" would be taken away from them. Several members of the Republican Party says that President Barack Obama is going against the constitution of the United States of America. As you know, some people are rebeling and fighting back against the Obama Administration by calling them "un-American" and claiming they want their country back. They also made claims that this is not "the America they grew up in". They want the "America they had before". By feeling this way is how the Tea Party Movement formed. So what is the problem with the Obama Administration? I don't see a problem with them. Why didn't other people feel this way about Bush? Why wasn't the Tea Party formed when the Bush Administration was in the White House? In my opinion our country became lost when it went into war oversees (a war until this day I have no idea the purpose is) for almost ten years. Please let's make peace the Middle East! Why were we over there in this first place? Also, our country became lost when the Bush Administration doing endless spending of billions of dollars on the war by raising gas prices and groceries. Our country became lost when people started losing their homes (and I found this strange when dozens of people started losing their homes at the same time). Our country became lost when a natural disaster came and it the Bush Administration took entirely too long to respond leaving the people of Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama left for dead. Our country was lost when the Bush Administration gave the rich people a break by not making them pay taxes and making middle and poor class American citizens lose their jobs and our necessities such as school systems, hospitals, firefighters, and police officers struggle. In my eyes, we are all American citizens and rich people aren't any better than middle or poor class people. Also, we must examine the hipocrisy of the right-wing Republicans. If these Republicans and the Tea Party Movement call themselves "constitutionist", they why are they trying to change the fourteeth amendement to suit their desires and no one else's? The fourteeth amendment is, after all, part of the constitution. According to the fourteeth amendment, if that person, no matter what ethnic background or where the parents come from, was born on American soil, in an American state, in an American city, in an American street, in an American hospital or home, then that person is an American citizen. No questions asked. If the republicans are behind the United States Constitution, then why don't they believe the President Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen. President Obama was born in Hawaii in the 1960's. Hawaii became a state of America on August 21, 1959. Also, if all Americans have the freedom of religion, which is also in the United States constitution, then why are so many people objecting and rebeling to the idea of a Muslim Mosque building in New York? They say Ground Zero is "Sacred Ground", and that is true, it is "Sacred Ground". But, if the Republicans cared so much about the Sacred Ground Zero, they would've approved the health bill for the policemen, the doctors, and the firefighters who got sick trying to rescue the victims who suffered during that ordeal in 9/11/2001. But the Republicans refused to approve the health bill for the people who tried to rescue the victims of 9/11/2001. Also, what did the arsoning of the Muslim Mosque even happen in Mumfeesboro, Tennessee? The Republicans and the Tea Party Movement are suppose to believe and support the United States Constitution. Back during the era of George Washington, John Adams, and Abe Lincoln, when the United States recieved it independence, the United States Constitution only applied to the Majority (you know what I'm talking about). Slaves didn't count as Americans. Slaves didn't have the same priviledges and freedom as the majority did. But now, it's 2010. Today the constitution applies to everyone, whether they are majority or minority, the constitution applies to everyone, regardless of race, religion, and sexuality. President Obama looks out for everyone, especially those who are struggling to survive.
