Obama's Fourth Amendment--Confiscation Smonfiscation

Here's what I want to know. It's simple really. I would like someone who voted for Barack Obama to explain how his policies jive with the Constitution. Particularly I need to understand how the proposed health care bill and the corresponding taxes imposed on citizen's (well some of us anyway) don't infringe on my fourth amendment rights.

For those of you who haven't read the Constitution (and I would venture that is most of Obama's supporters) the fourth amendment reads as follows: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. (emphasis mine) I need to have one of the intellectually blessed among you to explain how usurious tax rates (to fund a program not authorized by the Constitution, by the way) are not confiscatory and therefore not in violation of my fourth amendment right? I don't want to be old fashioned. Nor do I want to seem at all ungenerous but it is my money after all and if the Constitution still holds I have the right to keep what's mine.

Well at least that is how I see it. Until one of you sets me right.

His policies are jive. The word wanted, though, is “jibe.”

You have the right to keep what is yours. And obama has the right to take what is his. It’s not yours until after obama is done taking what is his.

Bow down before the one you serve, peasant.

Don't think anyone on FR would fit the bill.

all income taxes fall into the same category

Why would Obama care? He was born of a British father and thus a British subject at birth. By announcing that he was constitutionally ineligible, he was telling us that hereafter the Constitution is irrelevant. He will decide what to pay attention to. Since no legislator has spoken up, perhaps because McCain too was ineligible, our representatives have tacitly agreed with him. If we want our old Constitution we may have to fight for it - again. Obama announced before the election that he, like Roosevelt, thought it was time for a second bill of rights. This Constitution didn't let Obama change the things he felt needed changing, particularly since it wouldn't have allowed him to be president - “born in the country of citizen parents”.

“Well at least that is how I see it. Until one of you sets me right.”

That was before Obama deemed us all slaves and started to collect reparations through the backdoor.

He thinks he is king!
