Publishing Company Under Fire for Putting Warning Label on the U.S. Constitution
I thought I had mentioned this insulting far-Left rubbish before but I can't see where I did that so better late than never:
"A small publishing company is under fire after putting warning labels on copies of the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and other historical documents.
Wilder Publications warns readers of its reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, the Articles of Confederation, and the Federalist Papers, among others, that “This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today.”
The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they "might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."
The warning seems to be offending more people than the documents themselves. Amazon.com’s customer reviews of Wilder’s copy of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the Articles of Confederation show an overwhelming number of people speaking out against the disclaimer, describing it as “insulting,” “sickening” and “frankly, horrifying.”
Almost all of the reviews discussing the disclaimer end with the same thought: don't buy from this publisher.

Wilder publications is a small print-on-demand company run by an eccentric science fiction writer, Warren Lapine. The offensive text seems most likely to be the work of Mr Lapine himself.
The firm also has a list of Christian books but, as far as I can tell, they are well outside the Christian mainstream -- Swedenborg and the like.
All of Mr Lapine's previous publishing ventures appear to have gone broke so I think Wilder publications is headed the same way

That's the liberal motive. They can't get rid of the constitution, so like other laws that they can't beat they'll instill a couple generations worth of PC and distrust until the general public thinks the constitution is nothing but an old, racist tom sawyer novel.
They may go broke, (hopefully) but look at all the free publicity their insulting stunt is getting them. And why isn't this considered defacing a national treasure?
In order for America to be whole again, we must rid our society of the demons of the left.
Maybe he was just trying to be ironic ??

Anon 3:42,
Europe already did that, back in the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s (and some in the 1800s). Since Europe been cleansed of "demons of the right" why don't you just move there?
Maybe conservatives should do what the left does. Publish in as many forums as possible this guys's home address and what he has done.
Now you tell me.
I bout the foul piece some weeks ago.
I'm sure I bought it whe Glenn Beck wqas talking about the subject--I hope he didn't recommend this particular volume. I sometimes buy his recommendations (too) quickly since the usually sell out an hour or two after he mentions them.
I hope they do the same with the Quran!
Then see what happens!
"I hope they do the same with the Quran!"
That would be fascinating! I would expect that they would be offended by the disclaimer, but they couldn't hold a book burning or do anything to get rid of the offending copies because they consider every Koran to be "holy".

So instead they'd "liberate" all copies, behead anyone daring to print, sell, buy, or otherwise handle one of those 'defiled copies of the Holy Koran', and demand the imposition of Shari'a law in order to prevent it ever happening again (a demand the left would gladly yield to).
You're probably right. What the mindless dupes of the left fail to realize is, theirs would be the first heads on the chopping block, as is usually the case when tyrannies take control. Hey, wait a minute. That's not such a bad idea!
Yes, it is a bad idea.
I prefer a rule of law, and nobody should die for what they think.
