Chill. Thompson can hire anyone he wants. I’m sure Mary will do her usual job for him and stay married to Carville while she does it. Another happy administration.

What if President Thompson appointed Hunter as DHS or something?

Two things are very constitutional and Thompson favors both.

1) A fundamental right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, as declared in our founding document establishing our free independent sovereign status as a nation. Thompson regularly states his belief in this fundamental American right.

2) The limited scope and role of the federal government, which Thompson believes was overstepped by Roe vs. Wade, based upon faulty interpretations of law and constitutional language.

Thompson is correct on both issues. Abortion was a state issue before Roe vs. Wade and it will return to a state issue with it’s reversal. That's just a matter of simple law.

Thompson is also correct that no constitutional amendment is required to protect life, which is already specifically protected in the Declaration of Independence, but wrongly interpreted by Roe vs. Wade.

Last, he is also right to assert that the federal government nor you have the right to mandate policy to the states from on high in Washington DC.

All of this is American, conservative and PRO-LIFE!

Nowhere is it suggested here or by Thompson, that the states should then use their power to legalize abortion...

That, was a figment of your imagination.

Read the hundred or so other Fred threads where all of these assertions have been repeatedly responded to...

All of this has been debunked so many times that people are simply tired of repeating themselves. Look them up... read them, learn them and stop asking for the same information over and over like a broken DU record.

Not taking sides here, but the Declaration of Independence is only a historical document and protects nothing in today's world. It is not law.

“Chill?” I asked you to support your tagline statement with facts. And your response is “Chill”?

Given your non-response, “Chill” in your language is “I can’t answer your question” in English. :-D :-D :-D :-D

You should give taglines a little more thought. “If you can’t explain it, don’t use it” is a good rule of thumb.

You must not be reading.. one point of the article that was shot down early was Thompson’s voting on the impeachment.. frankly, the fact that the author didn’t even accurately represent what votes the house and the senate make takes a lot of credibility out of this.. Sure, most of this has ventured off into side conversations, but enough has been shown in this article to reveal it’s inaccuracies or it’s ignoring the facts.

They aren’t “falsehoods.”

What they are is selectively picked items, intended to sway the reader into thinking one thing about a man, and ignoring countless other pieces of evidence that paints the true picture of Fred, a federalist with a decent conservative record.

Its ironic, actually.

I just finished reading ‘The Reagan Diaries’.

Guess what? Some like this author said the same things about Reagan. Things like ‘He’s abandoned his conservative principals’ or ‘He’s governing like a moderate democrat’.

Forgive us if we make up our own minds, without the help of those that eat, live and breath ‘conservative thought’ as though it came down on a tablet from God.

You’re putting words in his mouth. Link us to him saying those things.

‘I take it this guy thinks only hardliners and Reagan worshipers vote.’

This author said much the same about Reagan during his first term if I’m not mistaken.

Ironic, isn’t it?

It’s funny, but usually the RINOs who make that particular point their be-all-and-end-all do the least of anyone to actually do so. It’s primarily a ruse.

Gosh. I’d never have expected a post like that from you. I really think you know better.

I have made my federalist sentiments clear for some time.
