. . . Mick, Carol, Mary. Were you there, or aren't you being Monday armchair quarterbacks? Just shut the fat up. The issue is bigger than Crowley (whose integrity I respect) and Gates (who IMO has too little to respect). This is about something way bigger than a police incident. This is about the arrogance and muleheadedness of our so-called president, who would like nothing better than to even the score. This is what he's been trained and groomed to do his whole life, and he has been trained in deceiving and manipulating his listeners to completely abandon all logic and reason and to ignore everything bHo himself said he would do "when" elected. They took the bait, and the first part of his objective was accomplished (to get...
It may help to clarify ("Let me be clear") the issue of natural-born citizenship vs. citizenship in general by referring to what the Founders wrote and what they actually meant when it was written into the Constitution. I forget the exact references, but several of them defined Natural-born to mean that both parents would have to be citizens, and this definition, this tradition, went way back to Greek and Roman times.

. . . without a solution or resolution. St. Denis, you're awesome. I would love to start a movement to let the Dems, the libs, the ACORNs, kooks, nuts, fruits and flakes just have their country -- everything east of the Mississippi.

Us gun-totin' Bible-slappers, or otherwise constitutionalist Founding-Principle-loving free & independent sovereign citizens, can set up shop everywhere to the west of the Big Muddy. We can take all the military personnel and equipment, since they don't want them anyway, and most of them are our people anyhow. And the energy resources and can-do spirit, too. We'll have to give up Washington DC. They can have their Marxist tyranny, we'll take liberty, responsibility, and prosperity.

We'll...

Take me out during the ball game. And it should happen on 4th of July -- great fireworks show, while I eat my hot dog. How fitting. Except the game will have to be called, on account of showers. Rescheduled, of course.

If we get "rained on," whatcha gonna do? We just might be able to avoid it, if we as a nation, and as individuals, turn our hearts back to God. Worth a try.

Otherwise, you may have to take the long way home after the game.

That was the refrain to a song by Pete Seeger in the 60's in protest to the Vietnam War. The big fool, implied in that case, was LBJ. Now we've got a bully occupying the White House, who has never accomplished anything except for despising and resenting this country, who puts an ironic twist to the meaning of "Big Fool." Except that he knows exactly what he's doing, and whom he's really working for.

Everywhere you look, whether it's the so-called health care bill, cap-and-confiscate, and practically every other act or thing he's put forward, it is as if it is all planned to pull down the country with both hands.

Time for Americans to get it in gear. Let's roll.

Some of you are being a little rough on the guy. After all, he's just doing his job, what he's been groomed to do, namely destroy/bankrupt/bring down/humiliate our country on behalf of the lords of power and money -- the hidden elite. This is bigger than just Obama the prevaricator, usurper, and non-president. His birth certificate issues are just the beginning. And it's bigger than the puppet show we used to call Congress. It's the so-called Fed, the ultra-rich, and the combine of the carriage trade who would subjugate everyone and everything to themselves. Look past bHo and the compromised politicians to see who is pulling the strings. I'm willing to walk from Oregon to march on DC alone if I have to. Could we get 20 million...

. . . a mechanism for term limits. It's called voting. What's missing, however, is an overwhelmingly informed electorate.
but gives grace (strength, power, virtue, mercy) to the humble. Judgment does begin at the house of God, and that would be you and me, provided we are members of that household.

So Mr Obama (not verified as president yet) is bent on bringing down the country, and is a mere puppet of the elite lords of finance & power. Each citizen must be fully convinced in his/her own mind that personal action must be taken. No hand-wringing or finger-pointing, but bold action to take a stand for our
country and our Constitution. My exhortation to myself is, "Examine yourself. Are YOU being arrogant and proud? Are you part of the problem? Are you living before man, or before God's face?" Let's make sure "we" don't get in front of...

Why a Bill of Rights?

Greg 1557 Wrote: Jul 01, 2009 3:10 AM
The Constitution and the Bill of Rights are just obsolete, irrelevant pieces of paper signed by a bunch of old guys. It's a "living document," a cliche that indicates it doesn't mean what it says because it's so out-of-date and can be changed to suit one's wants, demands, and tastes, or what one "feels" one is entitled to.

As far as I'm concerned, our Founding Documents, including the D of I, are chiseled in stone, and cannot be "bent" but like stone can only be kept or broken. They are timeless, until God Himself removes them.

Why a Bill of Rights?

it seems obvious that the growing assumption among Citizens In Name Only is that rights are handed down to us by government. This is the exact opposite of the intent of the Founders. At the time the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were being hammered out, it was understood, almost without saying, that our rights were pre-existing and God-given, with or without the establishment of government. Instead of government, or even the Bill of Rights "giving" us rights, our Founding Documents rather limit government's abuse of the rights we inherently possess. That is why it is worded, "Congress shall make no law . . . ." These are the foundational Statements that limit Congress from transgressing its enumerated powers.
