Griswold V Connecticut, when the Supreme Court ruled that States could not ban contraceptives. It lead to a general acceptance that the reproductive and unitive aspects of sex could be separated.

Probably not. Should there be?

1. The US is a Republic, NOT a Democracy. Not that this wasn't' a s--t decision mind you.

2. Why does someone from a thoroughly miscegenated, third world welfare dependent "commonwealth" like PR care?

The “birth certificate” is a crude, clumsy digital concoction, not a scan of any existing piece of paper.

If you haven’t seen any evidence, it can only be that you have avoided seeing it.

You must have some powerful motive for not wanting to know the truth.

I'm with you on that one...Like don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up...

I’ve been noticing for seven years how angry people can get when the subject of the birth certificate (or other evidence that “Obama” is a foreign agent hostile to the U.S.) comes up. Why would people get angry? Fear.

Of course, since January 22, 1973 there has been NO justification for thinking that the “federal government” is anything other than a murderous criminal conspiracy.

Possibly fear of being duped...Sometimes it's a big blow to ego...It can be tough to admit you are wrong...Even when facts are presented...

We absolutely need a battery of amendments!

For safer borders too.

And for a new elected body whose only job is to initiate spending cuts and mandate debates if congress tries to veto them.

For more state power regarding education and law enforcement innovations. [Maybe give congress veto power after sufficient debates rake over establishment congress critters.]

For a mandatory debate system that puts nutty professors and activist judges on the hot plate.

And YES — for banning any redefinitions of MARRIAGE! [God willing, I'll flesh these ideas out more after this important election.]

I appreciate the 5-cent psychoanalysis, but none is needed, thank you. I’m a big boy, educated, and experienced and I can reach my own conclusions.

Let’s work together on those things we do agree upon. The sooner you accept the fact that we’re not going to agree on anything, the sooner we can work together in stopping the evil we do agree exists.

"Miscegenated"? Well yes, I am, and proudly so.

There's always a benighted crackpot in the forum who learned nothing at civics and who believes himself capable of teaching others about Politics 101, knowing nothing himself about the subject at hand and what's worse, whose heart is but a cesspool of racial hatred.

Yes, I'm speaking about you. The evidence is in your words.

Go away, fool, go play in the pigpen by yourself. Kindly don't talk to me any more.

Theo

Most FReepers are aware of these links, but I post anyway for review and for people new to Article V. It is our responsibility to make Article V the most understood aspect of the US Constitution.
