i am thankful for the 1st and 2nd amendments (they are the only rights that support the original ideals of the amercan revolution. all the others are bullshit. complete bullshit).

i am thankful that capitalism has not killed us all, yet.

i am thankful for the internet (the main source of my communist knowledge).

i am thankful that god does not exist (if he did, i would burn in hell).

i am thankful that capitalists have eyes (make them SEE truth).

You don't agree with this?:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

or:

Amndmt IV:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
[But this is in a sense being repealed by the Patriot Act]

OR:
Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
[This is of course due process but folks who are suspected of terrorism don't get these rights]

OR:

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
[Again, look at how we detain citizens like Jose Padilla?]

Come on. The founders of the USA were capitalists yes, greedy yes, slave owners yes, but much of what they said and wrote rings true. [I only wish we would uphold them]
