In light of recent events in Congress, I'd like to submit the following language for consideration to replace the Preamble to the Constitution:

We the people of the United States, in order to disturb a near perfect union, disrupt justice, destroy domestic Tranquility, forget about common defense, promote the welfare of members of Congress, their families, unions, community organizations, illegal immigrants, special interests and others deemed appropriate by any Executive Order, and to distribute the wealth earned by some to those who have not earned such wealth, to impose government control over any entity deemed worthy of such control by appointed czars, and ignore the Blessings of Liberty for ourselves and our Posterity who must pay the bills, do ordain and establish... .

I'm sure this language can be modified to suit the tastes of those responsible for its implementation and those same parties can incorporate it into our Constitution without ratification by the required number of states regardless of the will of the majority because "they" know better and we are ignorant.

Hopefully this language is broad enough to encompass anything else that might occur to arrogant minds.
