I think it was John Adams who said...Our constitution was made for a moral and religious people, it is wholly inadequate to govern any others.
bamaboy...don't forget us boys from Arkansas. We've had our fill too. And I know my brothers in Tennessee feel the same way.
So,,,if we eat veggies rather than meat on Mondays, cows will Fart Less?
Is everybody as excited as I am about the prospect of bailing out California? I'm not from Texas, but I'm starting to think we should all follow the Texas model.
The logic is...there is no logic when it comes to BO. BO doesn't have a lot of concern for the lives of the unborn, or our soilders, it's the abortion doctors and our enemies he seems to care about. Don't try to make sense of it.
I hear a lot of retoric on numerous subjects from gun control, federal interstate commerce act, abortion, socialism, and...well, you name it. Point is... I AGREE TOTALY, but what do we do? I am affraid that we have gone so far that we may never return to the government that our founders prescribed if we don't bite off the entire head of the machine. Someone a lot smarter than me needs to tell me what to do next. What are the appropriate steps to getting our government back. How do we the people take it back? I have heard that if enough States hold Constitutional Conventions to re-ratify that this will do the trick. Any truth to this? Should we be pressuring our individual state's representitives to bring this measure to the floor? There has to be a way out, a measure by which we can clearly state the obivious, that our government is way out of control and is exceeding by every measure the authority given it by the constitution. Who knows?
You got one now Heather...like it or not.
I've smoked for about 35 years. No, it's not good for you, but when I started smoking the majority of adult americans smoked. I could walk into a local convinence store at 14 years old and get free cigarettes. For anyone old enough to remember they had little 4-packs of smaples of various brands right on the counter....FREE. The goverment did not stop this practice because smokers generate revenue for the fed. (THEY WANTED NEW SMOKERS TO REPLACE THE DYING ONES) In fact the vast majority of what you pay for smokes is actually goes to cover the tax. My state recently had a sharp increase on cigarettes, as did the fed. I was paying $28.00 per carton three months ago. The current price is $54.00 per carton, That's like 48% increase. Whether you agree with peoples right to smoke or not, and regardless of the health concerns associated with smoking, THIS TAXATION IS ROBBERY! And now they're after my SCOTCH!
I agree. We should have no foreign debt. In fact George Washington warned of getting into bed with any foreigners on most any matter. We would need a balanced budget ammendment and a way to a structured pay-back of existing debt. Then, if we really sought to do so, we could become an independent seperatist nation. In this mode we would rely only on ourselves for virtually all things....and we have the capability to do it. Start with large (temporary) tax incentives for business wanting to headquarter on U.S. soil. Make it painful for business who want to opperate off shore, etc.
Agree. I hope that I don't sound like a radical myself. This may be the fight of our lifetime, I am affraid. You have to ask yourself why islam came into being where, and when it did, and why it uses so many of the nostic (false) Christian gospels in it's books, and why of all the spots in the world it could choose, it claims several Christian Holy Sites as it's own. It makes you wonder who had anything to fear from Christianity? Only one thay I can think of. And, in our society we dare not speak up to defend the eternal truth. Additionally, we may not be a Christian Nation in that we don't require anyone to agree with our religious views. However, this nation was founded on strict Jewish/Christian Values, and principials. According to George Washington this is the only view which will support our form of Republic.
