CONSTITUTION (Better?????) "I am SURE you have the Rosetta stone that will unlock its true meanings and why we have LOST it." |
|
"lost": That's pretty simple ... we lose a little of it every time another unconstitutional government program or hand-out is implemented via congress or executive order. It becomes a shadow of what it once was. As Walter Williams said, "Where in the Constitution does it say anything about midnight basketball?" There is a means for implementing these programs and hand-outs and it's called an amendment. "true meanings": What are you talking about? Who said anything about true meanings???? But if I had to answer your question, I'd say that the true meaning of the constitution is that it is our set of rules by which we live. It is not a living (ever changing) document. That makes it worth less (2 words). ..."when you think about it that's exactly what non-adherence to the constitution and the political whores have turned us into.... a democracy heading down the path to destruction like every democracy before us." |

Just a reminder folks. This is a...
That's right. It's "a moderate turn signal." Very good.
Thank you.
Ideology is preferable, but when there's no ideologically pure choice, do you vote for the GOP candidate so that hopefully our side gets control of the committees and the agenda, and can get some judicial nominees confirmed and hopefully some conservatives on the Supreme Court....
or do you take your ball & go home? And whine?
As deep as blind loyalty?
I wil ask you. Who should replace Bush, regardless of party?
Ma'am,
This phrase stood right out when I read it. Could I ask what you meant by these conservatives?
Mind you, I've nothing at all against the 'Bush Bot' gals. I think you're good , decent ladies.
But I've always assumed that we all aspired to conservatism, but disagreed on which road will lead us there the quickest.
Have I been mistaken in my assumption? Do we really wish for the same type of government?
I ask this sincerely so I can better understand if there is any chasm between us.
I don't think we can progress without the fine ladies of the G.O.P. standing alongside us.
And while your at it, consider the House delegation.
And while you at it, consider those electoral votes for Clinton and Gore.
