Who wrote that load of malarkey? Does he really think this Frankenstein monster is a first step towards anything good? He’s bought into the imperialistic fantasy. Well this is one way to tell the MEN from the boys.

A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.

Which is OK as far as it goes. The deist Franklin AFAIK never reached to the Christian ideal of God as the entity that deserves to be glorified in every enterprise of humanity.

God’s brighter than both of us... but when I speak from scripture and someone else speaks from men’s speculations then the one who speaks from scripture speaks the most brightly.

Woodrow Wilson in his 1913 book The New Freedom. “I am . . . forced to be a progressive, if for no other reason, because we have not kept up with our changes of conditions, either in the economic or the political field.


Thats WHY? the Constitution was WRITTEN DOWN... and NOT taught as a Theory..
to make FEDERAL givernment REGRESSIVE... and Not Progressive..

To set standards that could not be and should not be crossed..
Woodrow Wilson was a MORON... as ALL progressives are..

YES..... including Newt Gingrich who brags about being a progressive..
The republican party has become a Three Stooges Skit..

And the Democrat Party a Chinese Fire Drill..
A Third Party is not only practical it is MANDATORY..
The republicans are riddled with MOLD.. past fixing..
Like flooded a house in New Orleans.. even burning it is dangerous.. better bury it..

Well, again one can get tangled in political theory. The right thing to do is to exalt God, whatever the means or the medium.

Well Red;

Are we talking about the generic god spoken of in the Constitution?..
-OR- a designer God... perceived by various goups.....

The genius of the American Constitution is that God is defined generically..
So WHO is God.?.. What ever you wish him/her/it to be...

No worries really.. God I think knows who “it” is..
It’s people that have the problem... Sooo a generic god WORKS!...
Which is what the/a Constitution is about... “SOMETHING THAT WORKS”..

Note: if I have offended you or anybody else.. Then... this post WORKED..

The Founders would've been firing several rounds back when this vile idea was first brought up and the so-called representatives would not answer our phone calls and ignored the faxes and emails that told them that We the People didn't want it!!!!

What did the founders think when we abolished Prohibition? Did they think it was impossible? No!

You know, the more I read about Brooke Baldwin, the more I think this country might have a chance.

And yes, I would hit it...

Yes, the founders would have taken this piece of garbage and dumped it int he Potomac River, then they would have impeached the perpetrator. Had it gone to the SC, by chance, they would have impeached John Roberts for saying that it was Constitutional, that he over-reached.

We, the people, are the last hope (with God’s help) of getting this noose from our necks. We must stand and fight to the end.

So then why can’t the house act alone then if they control the purse strings?
Why does it have to even bother with the wimps in the senate?
