Regular readers of Time magazine this week found in their mailbox yet another pile of leftist tripe in the vein of "the Constitution is a living document." This week's cover article by managing editor Richard Stengel is a freak show of anti-Constitutional babble including an assertion that the Constitution was not intended to limit government: "If the Constitution was intended to limit the federal government, it sure doesn’t say so...The truth is, the Constitution massively strengthened the central government of the U.S. for the simple reason that it established one where none had existed before."

Heard about this. Joe Klein’s magazine continues to swirl around the toilet bowl.
“..how about you lesbos and fags in the media? Are you armed?”
They are called Police, they have guns and they do the bidding of their masters. They CAN in fact arrest you for calling someone a “fag”. It’s called a hate crime. The cops won’t hesitate to lock you up or shoot you if you dare to resist.
Hell I won’t even read it then.
Oh those boys at the onion again.

Am I mistaken, or were you on other threads supporting federal drug laws that are based on the same New Deal Commerce Clause that liberals have used to expand the federal government for over 70 years?
If so, how do you reconcile the two positions?
Well, at least they are upfront about their intention.
"All legislative Powers herein granted . . .
No political system is indissoluble.
Whenever a lib brings up the “living document” argument,
I demand they play poker with me with “living” rules,
and I will be the one determining when a rule needs to change to reflect the present situation.
Or, I’ll ask them when the last time they signed a “living” contract, say a mortgage, where the bank can change the terms at any time to suit their needs.
And, indeed, that’s what the Constitution IS. It’s a contract between the sovereign states and the created entity of the general government.
The Constitution doesn't start with the premise that the federal government starts with no limits, then has explicit limits imposed.
The Constitution starts with the premise that the federal government has no powers, then has explicit powers granted - and the entire list fits on one piece of paper; if that's not a limit, there is no such thing.
By their own words they created a Government of Limited and Enumerated powers. What limited and enumerated their powers? The Constitution.
Liberals, they don't know much, but they sure are stupid!
Trouble is, they think they're the "bank"...
I’ve heard that, too, from liberals -
“how can you oppose the government? the government is us!”
They were just joking.
I can only come up with ONE possible business model, that works, that Time might be following:
They hope that Obama forms a dictatorship or monarchy, and that they could become one of the official news organs, because they (Time) have demonstrated such loyalty to communism and fascism over the decades.
No other business model works.
Hey Laz, you’re applying your thought process to communists, and that simply doesn’t work.
I read “You can still trust the communists to be communists” and it really opened my eyes to their thought processes.
They are like ants. They have a firm belief foundation that nothing matters (not even their own lives or livelihoods) but the advancement of global communism.
The traitors project their constitutionally lax ideas on the rest of us. THis is a big mistake. Millions of us still hold to our oaths to protect the constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.
The founding fathers were so smart that they knew the real enemies would emerge from within. They were right. Now we have to be ready to fight that fight at last.
The first is the founders knew about insurance. Insuring risk and lose goes back many hundreds of years.
Probably more important, 'Health Insurance' as Obama and company are trying to implement, is not insurance at all. It's not a sharing of risk or lose. It's a sharing of medical costs. From each according to ability, to each according to need. That not insurance. It's Communism.
The left is playing word games and the right is letting them get away with it.
