The other day, I heard a very angry man describe the Constitution of the United States as sacrosanct. This means he believes this particular document is holy and sacred. Perhaps he sees the Constitution as a second Bible; perhaps he believes the Constitution should be followed as closely as a religion.
Does he believe the Constitution was written by God? Does he believe the Constitution should live on for eternity, never changing, never being replaced as society grows and changes and learns from mistakes of the past? Does he believe the Constitution is perfect, now and always?
If the Constitution of the United States is sacred, holy, and perfect, does this mean our government is above that of every other country on earth. After all, other countries have written their own constitutions modeled after ours, but there are differences. None of them is just like ours. That means ours is better, right? That makes their constitutions inferior, right?
If our Constitution and our laws based on that Constitution are superior to everyone else's, then obviously there is no one who can question our moral high ground. We are pretty close to being the perfect nation, and any person or nation that questions or doubts this fact is wrong and should be dissuaded from that opinion.
The man in question who believes in the sacred nature of the Constitution is the man who started a petition to have Piers Morgan, a British citizen living in the U.S., deported. The reason he believes Piers should be deported is that Piers has publicly called for stronger gun regulation in the United States. 109,334 other people signed this petition to deport a British citizen for publicly sharing his opinion on the United States' gun laws.
So beware. If you are from another country, one of those which is inferior in every way to the United States, and you believe that something happening in the United States is wrong or should be changed, please don't say anything. Please don't share your opinion or speak your mind or try to persuade other people to think like you do. We believe in free speech, but only if you are a U.S. citizen and only if you are freely speaking in support of our sacred Constitution. Any other speech is strictly prohibited, and we will chase you out of our country brandishing our weapons.
