I believe the government must be bound by the Constitution and you don’t.
The "New" "Faux" conservative movement will have none of that, right jonesie! Blackbird.
You guys are so simple in your understanding of things. Everything is black and white. In a perfect world, that would be great. In the real world, not so.
I have never dismissed the Constitution, indeed I honor it as the foundation of our Republic. But our Republic is inhabited by human beings and exists in a complex world. The last forty years especially have seen an explosion of abuse, but our 200 year history is full of examples of where the confines of the Constitution have been pushed, pulled and at times completely broken. Do I like that fact, well it depends on the item we are discussing. Just like you I have biases. For example, I fly occasionally. I am damn glad there is an unconstitutional FAA, because I sure as hell would hate to fly on a plane inspected by anyone under the guidelines of the state of Mississippi. I would however love to dump the Dept of Education and I was teacher for a while.
I live in the real world and I have Conservative to extremly Conservitive views, but I don't let that put me into some dream land. To come out and say "By God, from now on we are going to get rid of every instuttion and every piece of federal legislation that is Unconstiutional and from here out only do that which is explicitly stated there in" will get you laughed out of whatever office you occupy and your adherants listed kooks, no matter how correct you maybe. You would be suprised that to a great extent I want what you want, I just want to actually succeed in getting there. That will take time and tact...
