On a special broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Saturday, weekend morning host Melissa Harris-Perry expressed her displeasure with the selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s running mate.
In particular, Harris-Perry took issue with Ryan quoting Thomas Jefferson’s line in the Declaration of Independence, in which he declared rights come from God and nature and not from government.
“The thing I really have against him is actually how he and Gov. Romney have misused the Declaration of Independence,” she said. “I’m deeply irritated by their notion that the ‘pursuit of happiness’ means money for the richest and that we extricate the capacity of ordinary people to pursue happiness. When they say ‘God and nature give us our rights, not government,’ that is a lovely thing to say as a wealthy white man.”

We're endowed by our creator, no doubt about it.
The Constitution doesn't give us our rights, it's there to tell the government WHAT THEY CAN'T DO.

The 95ers, gays, lgbt, communists, envirowhackjobs, govt workers, welfare leeches, etc mostly had the ideas on which our system was built.
They should all go move to Nigeria, Cuba, Venezuela, or Kenya and see how wonderful it is over there.

According to Harris-Perry, you're a racist, 240, if you're a white person who voted for Obama in 2008 but won't vote for him in 2012.
