"Constitutional rights are insured with parallel responsibilities"

What a fucking terrifying thought.

A constitutional right is a constitutional right. No one need do anything to insure their rights, except fight the people who would "exempt" women, people of color, and the poor from the constitutional protections all white men share.

Claiming the working poor, the unemployed, the welfare to work families, etc. aren't deserving of constitutional rights because fundamentalist Republicans fantasy that they aren't "personally responsible" or "accountable" is just too horrible a prospect for me to entertain. We might as well live under Pol Pot as the fundamentalist Republicans, for chrissakes.
