Bush Calls the Constitution "a Goddamned Piece of Paper".
By: Devvy Kidd - NewsWithViews.com

Seething Americans have been burning up the Internet this past week over a column written by Doug Thompson for Capitol Hill Blue. However, there hasn't been a single word about this controversial column on any major or cable network - all owned by New World Order advocates.

In his December 9, 2005 column, Thompson writes: "Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act. Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

"GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

"I don't give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I'm the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It's just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Thompson goes on to say, "I've talked to three people present for the meeting that day and they all confirm that the President of the United States called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper."

It is common knowledge that meetings in the White House are taped, both audio and video. I hope that some news outlet will file a Freedom of Information Act request to acquire the tapes of this meeting for complete confirmation of Bush's comments. I feel it critical that truth above politics is essential for our republic.

(Editor's note .... Bush's policies and actions certainly do indicate that he truly believes that the Constituion is just a "goddamned piece of paper".)
