I would swear there was some other bit that goes in with that...

[dragovianknight]

Wait...are you saying Schoolhouse Rock lied to me?

[slybrarian]

But if they lied about that, what else did they lie about? HOW AM I REALLY SUPPOSED TO HOOK UP WORDS, PHRASES, AND CLAUSES?

[grimsqueaker]

okay, as a Brit... what's the context here, politically?

[alexseanchai]

The conservative side of the political spectrum doesn't seem to give a damn about establishing justice and promoting the general welfare and so forth. They do like their wars and guns, though.

Where's "in order to form a more perfect union" and a couple other things?

[alexseanchai]

Ask US conservatives.
