 dl211 says: Every single Democrat in the current majority, including Barack Obama, swore an oath to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution. Yet, they absolutely ignore the limitation of power set forth in Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. None of the 17 powers enumerated there authorizes the current health-care bills or the cap-and-trade bill, or the bailout, or the stimulus package – all recently passed by the House of Representatives. When asked by a reporter to identify the constitutional authority for the current health-care bills, Sen. Patrick Leahy said: "We have plenty of authority, why would you say we don't have authority?" Speaker Nancy Pelosi's reply to the same question was: "Are you serious? Are you serious?" Obviously, neither one is "preserving, protecting or defending" the Constitution when they ignore its limitation of congressional power. Conservatives in Congress have tried to enact legislation that requires every new piece of legislation to cite the specific constitutional article that authorizes the legislation. It has been defeated in every Congress since 1994. The current Congress has yet to vote on the Enumerated Powers Act (H.R. 450). From one end of the country to the other, Americans are demonstrating that their appreciation for the principles of freedom outweighs their admiration for any political party, especially those which embrace Marxist principles. Organizations are springing up everywhere, helping people get their precincts, their counties and their states ready for the next election. One Texas group formed ... This scenario is being repeated all across the nation. Choosing America's Future is a national campaign designed to focus on the principles of freedom and the candidates who pledge to uphold them. At the heart of the campaign is the U.S. Constitution. Participating organizations will be providing pocket-size Constitutions at candidate rallies where the candidates will also be asked to sign a pledge to uphold the principles of freedom in every official act – or to explain why they will not. The battle is between the people who subscribe to the principles ofYou can not sit on the fence - you are either one or the other, a patriot or a Marxist hoping to transform the country into a Marxist/communist state. That's my view anyway - you either adhere to the principles this country was founded on or, you are the enemy - plain and simple. you are the enemySo, what should happen to me, a self-avowed liberal and apparent enemy of the state? If you believe in a Marxist state over the freedoms afforded by our Constitution, to me you are an enemy of freedom. If you make a conscious choice of ignoring the Constitution or citing it only when it happens to suit your agenda, you are an enemy. You say you are a self-avowed liberal but do you believe in adhering to the Constitution, do you believe our elected officials should adhere to it as well? Are you ok with elected officials taking an oath that states "I do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States." and then simply ignoring that oath? If you believe that oath us more than mere words, more than a mere formality at the end of a political race, t... I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and scores of others, surely forgot this oath the moment the words passed their lips and never thought of it again. Many have taken this oath, I have on several occasions, only thing is, I actually believe in what the words mean You didn't answer my question. If you see me as a domestic enemy, what would you do to me? What should the state do to me? you should never be allowed to hold public office in this country.I wasn't aware that the Constitution of the United States required a political test for those running for office. And quit conflating liberalism with communism as if they're the same thing. You still will not admit you believe in the Constitution or not, do you? If you do then you are trying your best to skirt the issue. I equate communism with Marxism, you know, kinda like Obama and those like minded congressmen/women whose pay no attention to the Constitution. The Constitution does not require a political test - that is what the people are supposed to do before that cast their ballot. I did mention what to do with you since you - you should never, ever be elected to any office. Guess you thought I'd say put you up against a wall or hang you, no, Marxist and communists do that. Evidently you have no problem with Obama & Congress using our Constitution as toilet paper... I did mention what to do with you...you should never, ever be elected to any office.No, you said: you should never be allowed to hold public office in this country.And please quit attributing political beliefs to me that I've never espoused. OK, real slow and to the point: If you do not believe in our Constitution: YOU SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICE. I can not make it any plainer than that. I do not attribute one damn thing to you except your ability to answer a simply question. except your in-ability to answer a simple quesiton! or, recognize a simple answer. Then you obviously do not respect the U.S. Constitution as I do. I am proud to announce I have always stood behind the Constitution, however it took you several responses to admit you have respect it. Show me where I do not respect our Constitution! If you are too dense to realize or comprehend my statements, blame yourself not me. My father's family fled political repression. I had relatives who were imprisoned, and one who was summarily executed, for their political beliefs. Don't you dare equate my liberalism with the freedom-hating, anti-democratic fascists who destroyed and scattered my family. I am an American citizen. I have the right to believe any damn thing about politics, economics, society, religion or culture, knowing that my civil rights, which I hold sacred, will not be abrogated. I have no idea what you are talking about much. One of us sounds awfully intoxicated and I haven't had a drop. I understand you are an American Citizen - I never suggested you were not. You do have the right to believe any damn thing about anything damn thing you want - I agree - but so do I. You seem to damn worried about your precious civil rights but seem pretty damn ok with Obama and Congress taking them away. They are the ones you should be worried about not me. Don't you dare equate my liberalism with the freedom-hating, anti-democratic fascists who destroyed and scattered my familyNow this is just totally nuts and I have no idea what the hell you are talking a... I wasn't aware that the Constitution of the United States required a political test for those running for office.The Constitution IS a political test for those running for office. Those who run for office then take the oath of office when they know their objectives run counter to that oath should not be allowed to keep that office. I have no idea what you are talking aboutYou said I should not be allowed to run for political office because I am a liberal. You deem me an "enemy of the state" because I am a liberal. You assign beliefs to me that I've never espoused. This is dangerous, anti-democratic talk. I bring up my family because they have suffered and died at the hands of those who deemed them "enemies of the state", as you have so glibly done in this clip. You said I should not be allowed to run for political office because I am a liberal.I didn't say that you did. I said; 'As to what should happen to you, my first thought would be that you should never be allowed to hold public office in this country.' I expressed my opinion and took off on a rant. Give me a break - family members died because they were deemed 'enemies of the state' I think someone has been watching way too much TV, I buy that as much as I buy Obama's BS> Give me a break - family members died because they were deemed 'enemies of the state' I think someone has been watching way too much TV, I buy that as much as I buy Obama's BS>You dismiss my pain as drunkenness, and my family history as bullshit. I wish it were fiction. So does my family. Greek Resistance, World War Two. Look it up. And if you have time, look up the Greek Civil War and the Regime of the Colonels as well. Why the hell would I look up the Greek Civil War? Get your head on straight....I'm finished with this BS. Because it was in Greece that my family suffered and died for being labeled "enemies of the state"; a label you glibly gave to liberals (who you ridiculously conflate with Marxists). |
