What we have here is a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts. How can there be a Hatch Act violation when there is none. She fully reimbursed the U.S. Treasury for all associated expenses so end of story fellas.
Ms. Maddow is a highly educated lady with a keen understanding of political issues. An Oxford University Ph.D. can hardly be expected to be widely known to trivia buffs. Considering the number of negative comments about her on this web site, her impact is so far above the average person, they do not even feel a breeze.
Judging by the comments regarding the 2nd Amendment and the debate of collective versus individual rights, those who feel gun violence has robbed America, it seems myth still persists in the minds of many. Thankfully, the Court will one day change its mind and rule against the cancer of gun violence. Unfortunately, myth and superstition about the Second Amendment is easier to grasp than the facts. The question people must ask themselves is which will make them feel more secure----a loaded shotgun in the closet or a society free of gun violence? I don't know about others, but I sleep well knowing I don't need guns for protection.
The Second Amendment is an excellent example of the confusion that can be found in the U.S. Constitution. The amendment, within the context of the time it was written, expresses the right to bear arms as a collective right rather than an individual one. At the time it was written, a citizen militia was viewed as necessary for the national defense of our civil liberties from government. Over the centuries, our citizen militia has developed into the Department of Defense. The citizen militia is therefore an outmoded concept. However, the misunderstanding of the right to bear arms still persists to this day. The result being roaring increases in gun violence.
It is understood that Senator Reid's would generate so much hate and rudeness. But not one comment has offered any proof to the contrary of his statement. If just one comment would offer any proof to the contrary, let him say so, otherwise keep his foolish beliefs to himself.
Mr. Carter was the worst president in our history, and now he places the blame for his complete of performance on past false notions of him being an outsider. He was a charter member of the Trilateral Commission, and in fact, admitted that his foreign policy education came from that organization. His silly book is a complete rationalization of his presidency that claims he was right while everyone else was wrong. Since he was voted out of office, his life has dedicated to improving his national and international image. When he received the Noble Peace Prize, it could be said, "Congratulations, Mr. Carter. You are the best ex-president ever."
Speaker Pelosi is to be congratulated for her wise postions on the issue and her leadership. The latest example is her postion that unemployment checks aid the economy while empowering the unemployed. Thank you, madame speaker!
Again this Supreme Court has shown out of step with fundamental understanding of the Second Amendment that clearly indicates a collective right rather than an individual right for firearms possession. It was a narrow victory for ignornance and insantity. The issue will be revisited again in the future when the Court has the sensibiliaties and understanding for a proper interpretation of the Constitution.
So Mr. Bloomberg believes that bashing Wall Street is bad for business? Wall Street has been bashing its clients, institutions, banks, and government for years. Now is the time for them to digest the fruits of their self-serving activities and ruthless attitudes to others. Is it right to allow a thief go free? These money changers have earned America's contempt. Now let's make them pay for their deeds.
It will, indeed, be extremely interesting to see how the moronic voters will decide to vote in this mid-term elections. The Democrats are certain to continue their campaign to blame Bush for everything possible, except H1N1. The GOP, of course, has neither a message or the leadership to parry their relentless attacks. Rush Limbaugh is perceived as their leader, but he doesn't want the job, or need it. This could be a knock-down, drag-out fight like nothing we have seen before for mid-terms elections.
