I want to ‘declarate his independence’ from the borders of my beloved country. Preferably on ‘my fantasy island’ where there is only 6 feet on sand, no tree, and shark-infested waters. Oh, and hot sun, 24/7.

That's the US Constitution you mean.

Obama is talking about a 'New Declaration Of Independence'.

... Independence from Global Warming, and such. It's goofy.

I was living my better angels while Bambi was toking up at Occidental.

Why do all these birkesntockers and red diaper babies who hate their parents love being lectured by the pompous Bamster?

We need a new declaration of independance from ideology? Ideology is the reason the country declared its independance from Britian. Without ideology and principles you will stand for nothing. Maybe he meant “conservative” ideology.

I think the old one would serve fairly well with a few changes. Most of the charges laid against George III could be applied against the current Federal government, and there are enough to subsitute for the inapplicable ones.

Of course, I'd go with Hamilton's preference on the inalienable rights: life, liberty and property.

Most of the states in the heartland, inter-Mountain West, and the South, plus Alaska could send it, and the rural counties of most of the other states would probably come out in support.

It has been universally accepted among conservatives since Edmund Burke that ideology is a bad thing. Read Russell Kirk for an American exposition of why.

In addition to these shock troops,

Sturmabteilung? They were Hitler's personal army inside the Nazi party. When they were no longer useful, and got too big for their lederhosen, Hitler had the SS wipe them out as the new group's first order of business.

Does anyone here grasp the difference between the actually real thing and when one is speaking metaphorically.

Bolshevism Lite (for now, anyway.) You are observing how dangerous ideologies start out, with ideas that most people will consider quite reasonable, goodness, togetherness, community. Think Italy and Germany, think Argentina. A call to give up ideology? Ha, isn’t that an ideology itself? Scary stuff from the pair of highly educated bolsheviks.

Obama is going a long way toward over turning the constitution by appointing people to his cabinet who have openly disregarded the laws of the country.

Obama’s Attorney General openly broke the law when he negotiated the pardon with the Mark Rich’s lawyer. It’s against the law to negotiate with a felon while the felon is a fugitive.

Obama’s nomination for Sec’ty of the Treasury doesn’t believe in paying taxes. (I guess that means a tax holiday for the rest of us, right?)

Obama’s labor secretary is a member of an international socialist group that advocates world government. (How can she be sworn it?)

Obama doesn’t have a commerce secretary and we all know why.

Obama’s Secretary of State is so conflicted that no foreign government will ever trust what she says. (We shouldn’t either)

There must be some other appointments that I haven’t remembered.

Be nice if he could come up with an original speech for a change. And how come Lincon is so revered when he actually wanted blacks and whites to live separately though free? Still not such an ideal situation.

Declare independence from small thinking and embrace Marxism - the kind that has enslaved hundred of millions, killed millions and failed throughout the world.
