When a politician says “for the common good” I hide my billfold and keep my back against a wall.

[Retired Greyhound]

Wow, what an idiot.

[calex59]

Well actually the constitution doesn’t say that. It says promote the general welfare. Nothing about the common good anywhere in the constitution. Do you suppose they are lying?

[DTogo]

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

[randomhero97]

Maybe he’s confusing the document that he’s actually read, Communist Manifesto, with the Constitution which he has probably not read.

[Linda Frances]

Isn’t “the common good” a communist slogan?

[Sylvester McMonkey McBean]

And all this time I thought the central purpose of the Constitution was to outline the structure and limitations of GOVERNMENT.

Guess I had it all wrong.

[El Gato]

The preamble says "promote the general welfare", but that's only one purpose it lists. The others are: to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

But it also sets up a system of strict limits upon how the government may go about promoting, establishing, insuring, providing, and securing, those things.

Very little of what the Obama adminstration is doing fits inside those limits.

Notice too that the only one of those actions that is not a direct action upon its object, is "promote". IOW, the Constitution was to set in place a system that would promote the general welfare, not provide, secure or insure it. Anyway, the Obamites actions are historicaly proven to harm the General Welfare, not promote it.

“The central purpose of the Constitution is to provide for the common good” __ Rep Tim Bishop

BS! The central purpose of the Constitution is to RESTRAIN GOVERNMENT!

[WayneM]

Is anyone or any organization keeping a master list of townhall meetings?

The August recess is a reat opportunity to meet these clowns on our mutual home turf.

And they need to get an earfull at every opportunity.

[sergeantdave]

What comes after “petition the government for redress” and it doesn’t work?
