		<description>How easy to dupe?  Each year it became easier because folks like Joe the Plumber became embarrassed to speak out against these smart elites.  Not PC to question why we have a Congressional BLACK C.  and not a WHITE.  It is just the obvious, in-your-face reverse racism that we have been told is not so.  

That&#039;s the problem.   We have to starve people off land they have worked for decades to save a minnow.  We have to pay the high fuel cost because somehow it is more noble to hurt the struggling
worker than to drill or build.  We have to continue to pay real idiots to teach our children because of Unions.

We have signed a suicide pact.  GWB understood on 9/11.  He found his  Texas roots.  MSM told people everyday for 8 years the most outrageous lies about him until even the halfway sane ones on our side ............forgot that most was lies.

MSM gave us Obama along with all the rest of the above.  We were all just fat and happy to shut up and go along for the ride.  Life was good so go along to get along.  Look at how long it took Pug Congress.  

Okay, back to the phones.  They just need the door cracked open.</description>

		<description>If a law is passed, it can be amended, repealed, or overturned.

This &quot;non-repeal able&#039; is just a scare tactic.  can&#039;t happen.</description>

		<description>While this is distressing, I&#039;m not gonna give up hope that there are enough people in this country that believe the US Constitution  should be upheld that if they use this illegal method to pass a law, the Supreme Court will declare it unconstitutional and they will be branded the LOSERS that they are.</description>

		<description>I understand that the Senate bill has a clause that makes itself &quot;NON-repealable&quot;.

I say, &quot;If you take the Slaughter approach, then we have every right to repeal it with a new Slaughter approach, which is to override Obama&#039;s veto with 51 votes and simple majority in the House.&quot;</description>

		<description>The progressives always thought that our money belongs to them.

Remember what Bill Clinton said...something about us not being able to better manage our money but rather his own government is smarter in managing our own money so he&#039;d rather take more out of our own pocket.

Amazing how people continues to LOVE Bill Clinton to this very day.</description>

		<description>Some conservatives are already thinking that if they take the Slaughter solution, then we will not need to meet the requirements for overriding Obama&#039;s veto but rather require 51 votes, instead of 67 votes and 290 votes.

That is, if nobody takes them up before SCOTU.</description>

		<description>One thing being ignored is the fact that Social Security is now calling in it&#039;s IOU&#039;s from the federal government to the tune of $29 billion dollars. For the first time in history social security is paying out more than it takes in.

Social Security funds belongs to the employees and their employers that put the money away for said employees retirements. It is NOT THE GOVERNMENT&#039;S MONEY. And secondly, any investment group that returned a TWO PERCENT return when the S&amp;P was earning nearly 10% per year since 1928 (any 15 year rolling average, I believe) would be sued for malpractice.

If this healthcare bill passes, the next statement we will hear from this WH is that we need to cut social security to those who don&#039;t need it.   And other programs that benefit traditional Americans will &quot;need to be cut&quot;. Read: WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION.

I and my employers have put in $122,000+  for my retirement. I want my money. 

Where does congress get off borrowing MY MONEY? Where is the FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY that so much of our investment REGULATIONS require? (Lot of good &quot;government regulations&quot; do!)

&quot;We are 5 days away from FUNDAMENTALLY  transforming America&quot;.
-barack obama, 2008

How appropriate today.</description>

Legal counsel to some of the detainees went far beyond vigorous representation of their clients. Doesn&#039;t the public have a right to know? On the evening of Jan. 26, 2006, military guards at Guantanamo Bay made an alarming discovery during a routine cell check. Lying on the bed of a Saudi detainee was an 18-page color brochure. The cover consisted of the now famous photograph of newly-arrived detainees dressed in orange jumpsuits—masked, bound and kneeling on the ground at Camp X-Ray—just four months after 9/11.

		<description>Nothing like throwing out everything in the Constitutional rule book to imprison America.

Maybe this is why native born citizen means both your parents are citizens of the USA. Otherwise, you could wind up with Kenyan health care.</description>

		<description>According to the University of Missouri at Kansas City&#039;s website (http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/firstaminto.htm), Justice Blackstone heavily influenced the Founders&#039; notion of Freedom of Speech and the Press.  When I looked at what Blackstone&#039;s writings (Laws of England (1769) http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/documents/amendI_speechs4.html), I found that he articulates devastating commentary on the fallacies of Holder&#039;s claim of Freedom of Speech in this context:

&quot;In this, and the other instances which we have lately considered, where blasphemous, immoral, treasonable, schismatical, seditious, or scandalous libels are punished by the English law, some with a greater, others with a less degree of severity; the liberty of the press, properly understood, is by no means infringed or violated. The liberty of the press is indeed essential to the nature of a free state: but this consists in laying no previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter when published. Every freeman has an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public: to forbid this, is to destroy the freedom of the press: but if he publishes what is improper, mischievous, or illegal, he must take the consequence of his own temerity. To subject the press to the restrictive power of a licenser, as was formerly done, both before and since the revolution, is to subject all freedom of sentiment to the prejudices of one man, and make him the arbitrary and infallible judge of all controverted points in learning, religion, and government. But to punish (as the law does at present) any dangerous or offensive writings, which, when published, shall on a fair and impartial trial be adjudged of a pernicious tendency, is necessary for the preservation of peace and good order, of government and religion, the only solid foundations of civil liberty. Thus the will of individuals is still left free; the abuse only of that free will is the object of legal punishment. Neither is any restraint hereby laid upon freedom of thought or enquiry: liberty of private sentiment is still left; the disseminating, or making public, of bad sentiments, destructive of the ends of society, is the crime which society corrects. A man (says a fine writer on this subject) may be allowed to keep poisons in his closet, but not publicly to vend them as cordials. And to this we may add, that the only plausible argument heretofore used for restraining the just freedom of the press, &quot;that it was necessary to prevent the daily abuse of it,&quot; will entirely lose it&#039;s force, when it is shewn (by a seasonable exertion of the laws) that the press cannot be abused to any bad purpose, without incurring a suitable punishment: whereas it never can be used to any good one, when under the control of an inspector. So true will it be found, that to censure the licentiousness, is to maintain the liberty, of the press.&quot;</description>

		<description>Walter Williams wrote a great article about this.

And there&#039;s an article over at American Thinker, published yesterday.

It&#039;s the difference between rights and wishes.

The lefties LOVE to twist the word, &quot;Creator&quot; as if &quot;Creator&quot; is a God of any religion, including Allah.  And that we&#039;ll never know what the Founders meant when they used the word, &quot;Creator&quot;.

Too bad that too many people actually believe them.

When the Founders used the word, &quot;Creator&quot;, they meant Christian God.

&quot;The notion of God in our founding documents is to get across that the rights of human beings are derived from something larger than any person themselves and so can not be taken by another person lest that person place themselves as superior to God.&quot;

Natural Law - is based on the fact that man is an imperfect being and that because a man is imperfect, there is no way that a man can rule over another man.  The only way to do it is to be ruled by God, our Creator.

At least, that&#039;s my understanding.

Which is why the progressives worked so hard and successfully to transform our country into a secular nation by separating God from our lives, nation, and government.</description>

		<description>The key to the above in knowing the difference between a right and a want/desire....is when your &quot;right&quot; fundamentally involves the compelled direct use of others in order to achieve it (ie.,which in turn violates &quot;their&quot; rights).  Taking money from people to fund things is taxation. 

A right to assemble is not the right to an audience. It&#039;s the individual right to gather in groups.  When you decide to exercise that right...the gov does not force people to attend so you have a group to be with. 

Forcing people to fund, or buy something so that others can get it free, has nothing to do with &quot;rights&quot;.</description>

		<description>There is a fundamental difference between what you have a right to under our constitution, and what you may want or desire.  (great article on this, but can&#039;t recall the link).  Example given was: 

You have a &quot;right&quot; to free speech and association...but that does not then guarantee you a &quot;right&quot; to a stage, gathering house, or audience.  Those might be things you &quot;want&quot;, but not having them does not mean your rights have been negated.

You don&#039;t &quot;have&quot; to own a gun to have the right to (at least that still exists in most of the union).  Nor is someone else obligated to provide you with one, or ammo, or shooting glasses should you desire one.

Fundamentally, the individual rights we have from the constitution were never meant, nor designed, to take from someone else.  The min you start sticking your hand in someone else&#039;s pocket....you aren&#039;t talking about a &quot;right&quot;. You are talking about something you &quot;want&quot;, that you need money for.  

We have fundamentally lost our way as a nation. The things your family did for you..to sit where you are today, they did out of love for you.  But, it&#039;s not your neighbors responsibility to continue to reward you with those things, or a way of life, because you have become accustomed to them.  Hell, we even tell banks and corporations today that make bad decisions ....&quot;there are no losers&quot;.  Just like we teach kids today.  Nobody fails. Everybody gets a fair share, everybody gets a trophy, and nobody can lose.  We are &quot;all&quot; winners.  Bah.</description>
