We're still on the winning side of the war for liberty. It is a long hard fight but we haven't given up. Don't let our liberal media mislead you!
Good luck!
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..."Each day, the above words have more and more meaning (do to Judicial activism).Thomas Jefferson
Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776
I like to believe that is isn't the USA but is the liberal-Marks-Stalin-Leninists elitists that live here because of our freedoms. They seek to enslave us.
It is the everlasting battle of Capitalism against Socialism, Freedom against Slavery.
This is what liberals do when they have no power: engage in intellectual masturbation. Let them go on with their wishful thinking, it distracts them from actually doing anything of substance.
If there was ever any doubt that Liberalism is a mental disease this post should end that doubt.
The American Constitution, while not perfect, is the most perfect political document devised by man, and yet Liberals insist on replacing it with a Socialist agenda that would destroy the very concept of government by the people.
The fact that we have a Judiciary who looks kindly upon this kind of Socialist babble, and talks of incorporating it into our laws, is scary but understandable. It is a consequence of being among the power elite.
What Socialist dogma cannot tolerate is the light of day. This kind of conference at Yale Law School should be disseminated to the general public, so they can see for themselves what those in the legal industry are preparing to do.
This proposed attack upon the Constitution should be a talking point for those questioning House members when election time rolls around. Where our elected officials stand on issues pertaining to the Judiciary, and the Constitution, should be more important than how much pork he's feeding his district.
Well stated.
The left will never understand that their "rights" aren't rights, but privileges, and privileges are "granted" through your own hard work and self-sufficiency. Oh, never mind. It's the hard work and self-sufficiency they so want to avoid.
For the side that's supposed to be so intellectual, the left has all the deductive reasoning powers of a stump, though I might be dissing all the stumps out there.
These bums are still liars and cowards. They are not "progressives," they are communists. Their refusal to even truthfully identify themselves shows the bankruptcy of their ideas and the cowardice of their assertions.
So in other words...Liberals want the US to become a third world nation.
Are you kidding? Twice in the first paragraph, once in the fourth, once in the fifth, once in the third-to-last, and once in the last. Also, there are numerous instances of "progressive", which is fuzzy-media speak for "socialist", "left-wing", or "liberal".
The essence of our Bill of Rights is that none of the rights that are enshrined in that wonderful paper requires (compels) work/effort on the part of others.
I have the right to Freedom of Speech, but no one is compelled to pay me for what I say, no one is compelled to listen to me, etc.
But if the liberals come up with a new right - a right to housing ... then someone has to pay for it. And does that right mean the right to a single room condo, or a 3 bedroom home, or an elaborate mansion, all paid for by taxing others.
Our rights are God-given .... but not to be extracted from others by assuming that they can be enslaved so that their work makes others comfortable.
It is time for revolution when liberals decide that they want to saddle the remainder of humanit so that the can ride us!

"Task of every generation is to create institutional structures which express fundamental liberal commitments"
He is a limp wristed liberal regulator and nanny-stater par excellence, but, it seems to me, despite the fact that he's a relatively young man, something of a political dinosaur. Let's hope I'm right, anyway.
By your definition, maybe it would be a good idea, but Ackerman then goes on to define what he means by "liberal", and it is the same worn-out socialist crap we see so often.
> This is what liberals do when they have no power...
You are correct, sir. What liberals *really* want is power; they yearn for it, they yearn to exercise it, to wallow in it, they yearn to keep it and never lose it again. Thus the liberals' plan for a 2020 Constitution, which you so aptly call mental masturbation. It is how they intend to enshrine themselves by making the people forever dependent on the government for these so-called "freedoms." If people have no need for the government, they will have no need for liberals...which is why they are so adamantly opposed to privatizing Social Security, their crown jewel.
