Very clever blog, Mish. You have demonstrated the power of strikeovers in a signing statement!
In re: "The Decider", I was surprised to learn that "decide", "decider", and other derivations of that word do not occur in the Constitution of the United States of America. The word "advice" appears twice and the word "consent" appears ten times! "Concur" or "concurrence" appear five times. "Credit" appears three times, only one of which is in the context of financial credit. Only Ron Paul could imagine something as bizarre as that! How have the founding fathers become so out of touch with our immediate needs?
The word "religion" appears in the third article of the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. The words "God", "Christ/Christian", "Mohamed", "Buddha", et. al. appear in neither the Constitution, nor any subsequent amendment.
Who'da thunk it? Well, probably Ron Paul, but he's just an internet geek.
P.S. I didn't even bother to check the Constitution for use of the words "Federal Reserve". "Money", however appears many times and is described.
P.P.S. I know these comments are too weird to believe, so you should read the Constitution for yourself, before trusting me: en.wikisource.org |
