well.....DUH....but the liberals will never understand that...they believe all rights and good things flow from the goobermint to the sheeple,..but in fact, its supposed to be the other way around. Liberals dont get this basic fact: God-People-Goobermint. the natural and real order of things.

Such subject factors can never be considered objective.

It is easy to claim that increased expenditures on health increases productivity and therefore economic activity which benefits everyone.

Almost everything imposes "involutary costs" on someone which is one of the reasons government grows as the societies become more complex.

There was a reason the BoR listed specific rights.

There was a reason the BoR listed specific rights.

and your interpretation is specifically why the founders balked at a listing of rights.

They were concerned that those rights listed would be considered to be the only rights that the government couldn't infringe on - Kerry's view.

In reality, people hold ALL rights, and the government is only allowed to infringe on those rights in the areas that it is specifically authorized to.

The reason the BoR was explicit was because those were the only ones they could agree on. It is true that Hamilton and Madison did not want a BoR for the reason you stated. But to secure the support of the ideologues (generally nutcases) for the Constitution they promised to pass the BoR as soon as possible.

I place little concern for nebulous lists of "rights" since there is no universal agreement on many as my initial list demonstrates. Most of those who do seem to be ideologues to me.

I remembered that so I went looking for it. Is this the one?

From the second debate (1st paragraph for some context):

KERRY: Will we have equal opportunity? Will women's rights be protected? Will we have equal pay for women, which is going backwards? Will a woman's right to choose be protected?

These are constitutional rights, and I want to make sure we have judges who interpret the Constitution of the United States according to the law.

Oooh. Good catch!

But just as an aside: "rights that we afford people" is too complicated a phrase for the average Dumbocrat to absorb anyway. Even if it is said very slowly.

This is BACKWARDS! Judges swear to interpret laws according to the Constitution; and interpret the Constitution according to the original intent of the authors (as well as it can be determined). It is very scary that a Senator of twenty years is this ignorant, or this perverse.

Our Constitution is the most sacred original document in the country (possibly on earth), IMHO.

Glassman, it seems, omitted the punch line.

A government that "affords" rights is a government that rescinds them, (precisely the operant definition of a Kerry regime, witness his campaign).

But don't have your deleted. It has a good title.

I wish I could find the text of Jay Sekulows comments on Ben Kinchlows show. I am not a fan of bens but as I was changing channels I saw Jay. It was really, really good.
