I woke up the ol' lady and the cats screaming at the TV on this one. Got so upset I had to break out a few of my "assault weapons" and clean them just to calm down. Might seem like a waste but I'd rather clean a clean weapon than fire a dirty one.
First tenat of totalitarianism, get the people to think that the "state" grants them their rights.
American Revolution part two on the horizon folks.
Apropos of nothing, I noticed in a video segment Kerry doing his oriental/Buddhist bow thing. Anyone else see it? He places his hands, palms-together, in the typical praying position up near his chest and makes a small bow. What's up with that?
I am so glad you caught this last night. I think the neighbors heard me shouting when he made that Freudian gaff.
Never have I witnessed a political candidate make his treasonous political intentions more obvious. Anyone voting for this communist infiltrator is either willfully ignorant or despises traditional America.
Don't forget that this dimwit gigolo also claims to be a lawyer.
That should not have come as a surprise to anyone. The official democratic party line is that all largess – including what democrats recognize as temporary rights (the first ten amendments to our Constitution) – comes from The Government.
I see that as one of the primary difference between Republicans and democrats.
BUMP
Notice that he was very careful here not to mention the Second Amendment...
Not taking up for sKerry, but as far as the "courts granting rights" comment goes, it was none other than our illustrious Director of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, who said when he gave his acceptance speech to that post that "our rights are the best thing our government gives its citizens". This comment was echoed almost verbatim several days later by Laura Bush.
Yup, George Bush probably sounded, to some, like a bit of a religious nut when he said "I think Freedom comes from God", but that was the opinion of the signers of the Declaration of Indpenendence, as you clearly point out.
I also caught Kerry's reference to "the courts". What happened to Kerry was he caught himself. He wanted to say he was for ALL rights, so he started naming the Bill of Rights amendments. Only then he probably realized that the right to an abortion does not come from any amendment. It comes from "emanations from penumbras" of bits and pieces of a few different amendments, which the Supreme Court could see and gather up and package as a "right to privacy".
The court, BTW, did not find a "right to choose". It found a "right to privacy", of which it determined the right to abortion to be a part.
But a couple of generations have now gone through public schools without being taught about our Declaration or our Constitution. Even many members of "the greatest generation" seem to have bought into Kerry's secularist totalitarian philosophy. God save us.
Mrs. B-cubed caught that one right away. The guy just ain't American.
