CONSERVATIVES PUSH REPEAL OF 13th AMENDMENT;
MOST AMERICANS UNFAZED, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS
Washington - Conservative leaders today, speaking at a Prayer
Breakfast sponsored by "The Family", an influential lobbying group,
called not only for a new Constitutional amendment to ban gay
marriage, but also demanded an immediate repeal of the Thirteenth
Amendment.
Tony Perkins of the Washington-based Family Research Council
declared that "Ever since the passage of the unlucky 13th
Amendment, our great country has been in a state of deplorable
moral decay. The Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution has
resulted in nothing but high-crime urban areas, expanded welfare
rolls and rampant out-of-wedlock births. We need to put
Americans of all economic levels and races back to work. The
only way to accomplish that is by an immediate and total repeal
of the politically correct, liberal 13th Amendment.
Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford said that repeal of the
infamous Amendment would be the best means of "getting the evil
tyrant who is currently in the White House out of the Oval Office
and back to where he once belonged."
Former Presidential GOP candidate Herman Cain added that instead
of the 13th Amendment, there should be a 9-9-9, across-the-board
poll tax in its place. "Isn't it only fair," asked Cain,
"that Mitt Romney should have to pay poll taxes at the same rate
as a poor, black family in metropolitan Detroit?". Cain added
that it was "their own damned fault in metropolitan Detroit,
if they are not as rich as me: Herman Cain."
Front-runner Romney added that he "could not care less about poor
black families in metropolitan Detroit, or anywhere else for that
matter, or poor white families in Detroit or anywhere else, for that
matter. Let them all go bankrupt, as far as I'm concerned.
My wife did enough to support them by driving two Cadillacs."
Romney suggested, "Let them emulate my example of how to work the
American financial system by loading failing companies with debt,
taking them private to avoid securities law, cutting costs by
laying off workers, cutting pensions and health benefits;
raking in a huge fortune in fees and commissions, then stiffing
creditors when the company fails. Getting unnecessary
regulation such as the 13th Amendment off the backs of
businesses is the best way to return our national economy to its
former antebellum glory."
Gallup polls, Harris surveys and Rasmussen Reports all indicate
broad confusion yet widespread, enthusiastic support among
American voters regarding the bold new proposal to repeal the
13th Amendment, whatever that might be.
