2024-09-17

Arrr, on the 17th o' September, we be raisin' our tankards fer 235 years o' the grand ol' Constitution! Aye, we ought to be celebratin', but alas, the landlubbers on the left be callin' our sacred scrolls 'dangerous.' Blimey, what a scallywag's tale that be!

Arrr matey, on the 17th of September, we be celebratin' the day the grand ol' Constitution was signed, 235 years ago! Aye, it used to be a raucous affair, known as "I am an American Day," where folks sang shanties and gave speeches loud enough to wake the kraken! But now, it’s more like a ghost ship, driftin' unnoticed on the seas of time.

Some scallywags be claimin' the Constitution be "dangerous" and "broken," as if it be a cursed treasure map! They forget that the worst blunders in our history arose when we tossed the Constitution overboard, like a sack of onions. Cases like Plessy v. Ferguson and Korematsu v. United States be reminders of when the courts sailed awry, steerin' clear of the righteous winds of justice!

And let’s not forget Buck v. Bell, where the Supreme Court decided that one lass was too "feeble-minded" to have rights. Aye, some call it a rotten fish of a decision! So, as we hoist our flags on Constitution Day, let’s toast to the principles of equality and individual rights that keep us from walkin' the plank of tyranny!

In the end, whether we raise our mugs in celebration or grumble in disdain, the Constitution be a steadfast compass in the turbulent waters of governance! Arrr!
