Would Any American Call The Reading Of The Constitution "Propaganda"? Here's one...

So, the new House Representatives have been sworn into office. And in their first official act they plan to read the United States Constitution aloud, in a move to show respect for the document and remind House members what it is they have sworn to uphold. After all, it is the law of the land. And during the last two years there were numerous instances where senators and representatives stated in public that they never read the document they swore to uphold, and some, including Ms. Pelosi, scoffed at it. So, Republicans decided it would be a good thing to read it aloud.

But one representative, Gerald Nadler (D-NY) calls that "total nonsense" and refers to it as "propaganda".

I could understand Ahmadinijad to call it propagana. And Hugo Chavez. But no American should ever refer to the law of the land as "propaganda."

I certainly hope the good people of Nadler's district remember this when the election rolls around again, and use their votes to tell Mr. Nadler that the U.S. Constitution is anything but "propaganda".
