Good point, Alice, and there's also a "general welfare" clause. I suspect that few of these Baggers could provide a definition of socialism that would satisfy the requirements of a junior high Civics course.
I things some of us teachers did a rotten job of helping the little ones learn what democracy is and what its values are. Glenn Beck is one example of a guy who SHOULD know, and possibly he does, but he's too heavy into being a celebrity for the crackpots and rolling in the money to be concerned about such niceties as tolerance, sharing, and the rest.

No. In fact the Constitution calls for work to be done for the "common good".

Yes - a tea bagger "friend" told me that Hitler was a communist - just like Stalin and Mao and Che. Glenn Beck told her so.
