They should fear her, and us!

[colorado tanker]

Yes, be afraid, be very afraid.

Bwahahahahahahah!

[Jim Noble]

Yes, Sarah is dangerous - to the enemy.

Hopefully, Sarah Palin will direct the attention of American citizens to the writings and speeches of their revolutionary Founders--Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Washington, and all the others--whose passion was liberty, not centralized planners and tyrants.

Picking winners and losers and who reaps the benefits of the fruits of your labors is the role this administration and Congress have assigned themselves.

The Constitution assigns them a far, far different role. The intention was, according to Jefferson, "to bind them down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."

Now, these wannabe rulers want to "bind" the "People" down by their manmade laws and rules and ignore the document that set strict limits on their power, separated it, balanced it, and checked it so that such tyrants could never endanger the liberty of "We, the People," who, according to Justice Story are the only "keepers" of the Constitution.

There has been no amendment to that Constitution, enacted in conformity with its own provisions in Article V, to give either the Congress, the Administration, the Judiciary, or any combination of them, the powers they are attempting to assert today. It is time for "We, the People" to assert our just powers under that Constitution and reject the assumptions of these arrogant, power hungry tyrants.

See Dr. Walter Berns' essay, entitled "Do We Have a Living Constitution?" in the Bicentennial Volume, "Our Ageless Constitution" here.

16 months on sabbatical and all he can come up with is this drivel?

[AxelPaulsenJr]

“We believe in limited government, free speech, the Second Amendment [the right of Americans to carry guns], our military, secure borders and our country," is TPN's one-sentence manifesto.

Those are indeed dangerous words, next thing you know, Palin will be bowing to foreign leaders......Gad!

And this is happening even though their party is more of a shambles than it has ever been and has done nothing to earn a single vote.

Since the Democrats came to power mainly because people were disgusted with the GOP, I fail to see how they can object to the GOP returning to power based on disgust with the Democrats.

I'm still trying to figure out what the Democrats did, before or after the election, to "earn a single vote."

Ordinary religious people with families are now the “Far Right”.

[relictele]

Obama is hurting Obama.

He is a very large and visible but temporary obstacle on the road to reestablishing the Constitution and the rule of law.

[Sherman Logan]

far-right agitators such as Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin

The writer has apparently never met a far-right person. Fox, Rush and Sarah are at most center right.

[hoe_cake]

the writer is exhibiting paranoia - there are meds for that.

[Charlemagne on the Fox]

How distant those days now seem. Ted Kennedy's oratory still regularly soared around a Senate that was split equally between Republicans and Democrats

SOMEONE owes me a new keyboard! (Can't get rid of the image of Teddy's slurred campaign speech, featured on the old Rush TV show: "And then weeeee're gonna elect ol' Kennedy [unintelligable . . . .] . . . or the equally hysterical "Ask Osama Ben Laden . . . I mean Obama . . ." at the National Press Club.) Soaring oratory indeed.

[colorado tanker]

I don't know how to describe someone who can actually refer to the Messiah's administration as “right wing.” This guy is way beyond moonbat.

[MrB]

Can anyone tell me the point of this guy’s rant?
I honestly didn’t glean any meaning from it...

[MrB]

Notice how he felt the need to clarify what the second amendment addresses. It goes to show the level of Constitutional awareness he expects his readership to have.

[Timocrat]

If this sounds like a joke, it isn't.

But this article is. Another gin soaked Brit socialist pontificating on the mysterious attachment of the average american to personal freedom and free markets.

[paul51]

It's good to be back

Any chance you could go away again?

I bet he shares a computer with his mom and hates his dad.
