I don’t think it works even then. I think of it as even if the parent is perfect, the kid still needs to understand why. And an active part in why.
Maybe we are saying/getting at the same thing just 2 different ways here.
We are.
And that’s why we’re awesome Steve;)
Remember, near perfection comes with the responsibility of modesty....
Of course. And thats why I was being modest! I shudder to think of the reaction if we ever let on how great we are. I mean lets face it. We glow with divine light.
Shush!!
Yea but our glow makes no sound! It just ...GLOWS!!
Doesn’t make us bad men!
About 99% of what FedZilla does is unconstitutional. I guess the first step would be demanding that our state governments stop taking “federal funds” such as those from the Federal Highway Slush... er... Trust Fund, which is blatantly unconstitutional. States also should stop collecting federal taxes, such as federal fuel taxes.
Yes.
The key to our political freedom is placing the Constitution front and center against the feds. Probably the greatest hindrance to doing so at the state level is state dependence on federal money, such dependence having been carefully planned by federal stealth and design. There must be a groundswell of the Spirit of Independence of 1776 to throw off the shackles of federal funds and unconstitutional acts.
I believe probably at least 80% of the federal government’s $4 trillion apparatus including hundreds of thousands of federal jobs, is unconstitutional. If the groundswell of state nullification was great enough, it could cause a miraculous disappearance of most of the federal government leaving only that which the Constitution allows. Otherwise nullification could at some point, after “a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object” of unconstitutional federal tyranny without repentance, lead to secession.
I mean if you have to destroy a candidate or a cop or a teacher or a media type or just ordinary citizen, what better way then to make any little thing they do a crime...
I could tell at the onset that both HIPAA and HITECH were bad, evil, and intended from the outset to control and tyrannize others.
I have to tell you, as healthcare provider, I have been bullied and pushed around more than once by people (likely liberal government toads) that love to saunter into our clinic and shake their fingers at us at every imagined HIPPA violation they can dream up — a record left out on the desk for 2 minutes — a screen tilted so they catch a glimpse of someone’s address. I get so sick of it ...random strangers coming in and threatening to sue over their perceived “violation” of HIPPA — it gets OLD.
Excellent observation. He must have misread the cue on the teleprompter.
Just heard about the Hellfire missle that was shipped to Cuba ‘in error’.
He is destroying our military.
We can count on it, that anything coming from this Regime touching on privacy or constitutional rights will be snaky, sleazy, totalitarian, and hard-rock hostile to our freedom and dignity. "He hate us."
Right answer. This is about official rescissions of rights w/o a criminal conviction. It's aimed at military veterans who've been in combat and have/may have PTSD. It's about disarming veterans by law. To despot-wannabe's and Communists like Obama, trained, armed veterans are a danger.
That so many vets are patriots and Republicans of the Reaganite stripe is just a bonus to the Regime types.
We need to insist that Trump and other Republican presidential candidates make this pledge: As president, they will not present a budget to Congress that funds unconstitutional activities. If Congress passes such a budget anyway, they should pledge to veto it. If the veto is overridden, the president should issue executive orders instructing the Executive Branch to simply stand down from doing unconstitutional things and keep the money in the Treasury.
Imagine what a true constitutionalist in the White House could do!
That is the kind of thing that needs to happen in all three branches of the feds - each actually carrying out their oath of office to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution” against any other branch that violates it after clearly showing why the other branch’s act is clearly unconstitutional.
But generally, the federal government (politicians, officials, bureaucratic heads, and government workers) hates the Constitution because it binds their opportunity to expand. The Constitution (and the resulting freedom from government coercion) stands against the self-interest of those in the federal government who want to expand their power, influence and income.
It is, therefore, up to the people of this great country to retake ownership of their Constitution and their freedom. In a sense, elected politicians are like a foreign country with whom we make a treaty. We understand that the foreign country could turn on us at any time especially when it is in their self-interest to do so. The only thing restraining the foreign country is our commitment to VERIFY the treaty and sanction the county if they renege.
Same with elected politicians. They are a potential enemy with their self-interest to expand their power, influence and income. Our electing them is like a treaty and WE make it clear it is actually in their self-interest NOT to expand their careers at our expense because we will bounce them if they do. “THROW THE BUMS OUT” is the only language politicians understand.
So again, it is the job of the American People to overcome the DELIBERATE government effort to NOT teach them the Constitution in school. They (We) MUST learn and understand OUR Constitution and use it via the states to not only stop continued unconstitutional federal acts, but force the 80% downsizing necessary to put the feds back into their constitutional cage.
So going back full circle, the issue is state dependence on federal funds and why I say there must be a groundswell among the people of each state of the Spirit of Independence of 1776 to throw off the shackles of federal funds and unconstitutional acts. It is up to US. We can’t leave it up to someone else.
We need to take charge. But we will have to start by electing a president willing to take the pledge I mentioned.
We also need one willing to deal with liberals as the domestic enemies that they are. Doing that in a thorough way will require strong action. Lib/Marxist traitors are embedded deep into the federal bureaucracy, the courts, Congress, academia and other institutions. We need to root them out if the return to American values is going to be long lasting. We could do that using citizen grand juries to legally bring charges and Constitutional militias to arrest them and run military tribunals (can’t trust the liberal courts with this) to try them.
I say that a key, maybe THE key, which few talk about, is the states or at least some states willing to be financially independent after beginning to validly nullify unconstitutional federal acts.
As usual, it all comes down to the money.
As far as politicians’ pledges, they may or may not be about as worthless as the oath they take after assuming office. WE have to show they WE will do whatever it takes if and when the politicians renege on their pledges or oaths.
Rooting out the enemy from our vast $4 trillion federal bureaucracy will be much easier after the 80% unconstitutional part is dismantled and the balance is made to stay within its constitutional limits. Limitation of a vastly downsized government is facilitated by state financial independence and nullification of unconstitutional federal acts.
Your citizen grand juries and constitutional militias would most likely at least need state authorization after the state validly nullified a federal act or acts.
The key to all of this is keeping the Constitution front and center. Too many are unaware of our absolute need to preserve our rule of law in the Constitution. Keeping the Constitution front and center as the Supreme Law of the Land insures our political freedom and validity to our actions. Otherwise, you risk another Jacobean-type French Revolution.
Oppositional/defiant is now a ‘mental disorder.’ I suppose criticizing this Administration is next.
