We here in my country are going over some changes in the Constitution, and all kinds of groups want to put "rights" to this and that, and we the right winged are fighting it, and hopefully we will vin it. But it is so strange, that the US, wich I and many of my right winged Icelandic compatriots beliewed to be the libertarian dream world is so socialistic, at least that such ideas can get that much prominence in it.

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..."

Thomas Jefferson
Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776

Each day, the above words have more and more meaning (do to Judicial activism).

This liberal "utopia" already exists, The Nordic countries(Sweeden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland) are already there. I also believe that there was an article posted here a few days ago that stated that the quality of economic development had severely dropped latley. We have got to get people off the government teat and the government off the peoples teat.

But it is so strange, that the US...is so socialistic.

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.

It is time for progressives to set a constitutional agenda for the 21st Century.

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.

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.

So in other words...Liberals want the US to become a third world nation.

Cass Sunstein, for those who don't remember, is the law professor at the University of Chicago who several years ago wrote Republic.com, a book which recommended that all websites be required to provide links to other websites which contain opposing points of view. For example, Free Republic, under his scheme, would be required by law to link to Michael Moore. And yes, the title of the book was selected to convey his deep uneasyness with and desire to control this very website.

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.

there's a world communist movement still alive, behind local issues.

"think globally, act locally".

they promote abortion, gay rights, etc., as their front.
