Actually, I asked a simple question – you responded with what looked like a page out of your diary. “Looks like [my question] went over your head.”
It is the law of the land. I really don't care if it is unconstitutional in your opinion... The far right fringe always whines "it's unconstitutional"...it doesn't make a bit of difference...it is the law of the land. Unless you face reality you have no hope of changing reality.
Your ignorance is absolutely amazing. There’s a freeper who could be your philosophical ‘twin brother,’ who claims that it would be entirely “constitutional” for a D@mocrat-controlled Congress to appoint Hillary Clinton ‘Queen for Life,’ simply by passing a law to that effect. Until the high court ruled otherwise, he insists, we would all have to accept Queen Hillary as the “constitutional” head of government - no matter what the Constitution actually said.
Allow me to introduce a little “reality” into your equation: the Constitution (and laws made ‘in pursuance thereof’) is the “supreme law of the land.” And any law not made in pursuance of the Constitution is void. An unconstitutional law is not "the law of the land" - it is void. You seem to have discarded the idea of a written Constitution, accepting in its place an undefined ‘living document’ interpreted by judges. (Funny - that's the same theory pushed by the 'fringe left' and their activist judges... ;>)
WIJG: ROTFLMAO! ‘You can’t expect the President to tell the truth! You can’t expect him to honor the Constitution! Your standards are too high for mere humans! TOOO HIIIGH!!!’ You’re nothing but a de facto Clinton apologist!
O-L: Deception is a tool for winning. Winning is not something a lot of far right fringers care about.
In other words, you would ‘deceive’ the electorate, and apparently do anything else it takes as well, so long as your candidate wins? Thanks for proving my point – “You’re nothing but a de facto Clinton apologist!”
People like you nauseate me.
I voted for Bush Sr and Dole.
If we are to believe you, they apparently didn’t ‘deceive’ enough voters to win...
You are a Dean apologist.
Sorry, “Einstein,” wrong again! Questioning the constitutionality of the ‘assault weapons’ ban & campaign finance ‘reform’ hardly makes me “a Dean apologist.” You’re confusing me with the “left” side of your ‘enemies list’...
;>)
WIJG: Looks like you consider [President Bush] a ‘slave of Congress’...
O-L: He is a servant of the people
LOL! You just exposed the ‘fringe left’ foundation of your political philosophy, my friend. Chairman Mao was “a servant of the people.” President Bush is not. We live under a different form of government than the communist Chinese. If you doubt it, answer a simple question: does the President swear an oath to 'serve the people?' Or does he swear to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States?
By the way, you were just suggesting a few lines above that the President should ‘deceive’ the people to win reelection. How exactly do you reconcile the idea of ‘deceiving’ the people with being a “servant of the people?” (Yet another schizophrenic aspect of your wild-@ss philosophy... ;>)
WIJG: OUCH! Now you’re comparing Mr. Bush to - Howard Dean!?!
O-L: They are both men, and politicians. They both have 2 legs. They have many things in common. They have many differences. I can see those differences, you can not.
Wrong again, “Madam Cleo.” You’re the one who lumps the two together – you’ve suggested, for example, that both Bush and Dean are liars. While Dean is quite obviously a liar, I have suggested that Mr. Bush is an honest man. (Maybe that’s how you define the “fringe right” – people who think Mr. Bush is an honest man? ;>)
I say the AWB is the law of the land...you say it is unconstitutional. You are not facing reality here. Next thing you'll be telling me is that abortion, gay sex, and federal tax dollars used to support PBS are "unconstitutional"...WHOOPADDIE DOO!!! What difference does your opinion make? The SCOTUS says none.
People like you nauseate me.
I didn’t ask for your biography, or your ‘enemies’ list.
President should ‘deceive’ the people to win reelection.
You're twisting my words. I said "Deception is a tool for winning," and I asked "Can you imagine a general on the battlefield telling his opponents how he was going to kill them?"
Dubya did not lie. He said he would sign a bill that he knew would not be passed. He did this to sidestep a divisive issue that would cost him votes. It is an intelligent thing to do. I should have known you would not understand ideas like strategy and tact. You twist my words to make them sound illogical. I don't know if this is intentional or you really don't understand simple concepts like portraying a negative in the best possible light, or holding your cards close to your chest (also called spin, and less than full disclosure.) Shocking as it may seem to a simple and naive man like yourself, politicians often try to mold public perception.
I am sorry I wasted my time correcting you. I have learned absolutely nothing from your exchanges and it is quite obvious it will take a better man than me to teach you anything. I tire of your posts and I see no point in continuing to read them. Respond if you must but don't hold your breath waiting for a reply.
