Ok. I see where you're going I think. From the technical reading of my post, you could easily feel free to associate my post with His Royal Evilness himself, Clinton. (Fwiw, .30carbine, the gun issue is my 2nd favorite, next to marriage). I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're just trying to bait me because I'm not really being too clear on this.

My post was not meant to imply I like lawlessness or approve of it. Of course, the us constitution is the 'law of the land'. My post was meant to state that written laws, including all those in the constitution, have never been fully "obeyed". We're not supposed to be 'subjects' of a king of tyranny, or an arbiter of parchment. We're to be free, and accept the responsibility of defending that freedom. Laws, in and of themselves, DO NOT MOTIVATE folks to fight for freedom. Nor do judges.

My sense of the constitution, with its abundance of checks and balances, is that the founders knew lawlessness was always going to be the temptation of the day.

The spirit of the constitution is a)protect the sovereignty of the nation-state of the US and b) protect the religious freedom in the US. BOTH. But, both are being attacked by a thousand paper cuts.

My point it this: leftist have used LEGAL LAWS to OUTLAW RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION. They have twisted the spirit of the constitution, succesfully, through worshipping legalism. Ditto with regards to the multi-national organizations, esp the U.N.

The 'true' conservatives who hate Bush over the immigration issue, are using legalisms to justify their hatred of Bush. They are, in an unintentional way, following the model of the trojan horse islamo/communists that are DESPERATELY trying to bring on a major economic meltdown on earth.

Conservatives failed to keep Hoover in power. Keeping Bush in power advances what conservatives want long term. Why is this not obvious? How am I being so dense here?

I'm shaking my head here .... somehow I'm not connecting the dots well at all on this issue.

You have presented yourself as a veggieburger smothered in mustard between two slices of Wonder Bread on this thread.

You are free to do so, but don't call me to such a meal.
