Congressman Hare: “I don’t worry about the constitution”

  It isn’t very often that you can get a Democrat to admit that he or she does not care about the constitution of the United States, but that is basically what Congressman Hare of Illinois has admitted in the following video when he states that he “doesn’t worry about the constitution.” He has stated what many of us believe to be the truth; there are many Democrats who simply see the constitution as a roadblock that must be overcome.

  As bad as it is that this congressman admits that he doesn’t worry about the constitution, he continues on and his full ignorance on the constitution is displayed when he tries to defend his statement by saying, “I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” When it is quickly pointed out to him that the words he just quoted are in the Declaration of Independence and not in the constitution he claims, “it doesn’t matter to me, either one.”

  At least he eventually admits that he doesn’t know where the constitution gives the government the right to force the American people to buy healthcare insurance. 

  And this is a person that swore to uphold the constitution, yet he has no idea what is in the constitution. Is it any wonder that people are growing more cynical about the government every day? And, on a side note, is it surprising to anyone that this man represents the same  state that the man who signed the healthcare legislation into law comes from?
