Oh the media..lol

Yes we Cain, so we voted for Obama to prove that we weren't racists, so now, we need to vote for Herman to prove that we aren't stupid, any thing that makes the establishment squirm I like. I also take great joy in watching the media squirm, they backed the wrong horse, I'll never trust the network news ever again, they sold us out. Can't report on solargate, fast an furious, I guess CBS is trying to report on this too save face, and that little rebellion on wall street, but there is this rock in texas that was painted over. Cain and Palin

Or it is indicative of how much the proponent of such a thing feels about the role of government in the lives of millions of people.

The US Constitution is a grand total of 5 pages counting the Bill of Rights. Add one page for the transmittal - a whopping total of 6 pages.

Minimal bills in government create minimal burder upon the citizenry.

Mr. Cain understands that what this country needs is for government to get out of the way.

But that was then. They didn't know what's good for us like our leaders do now.

And there hasn't been the slightest bit of disagreement over what they meant since they signed it, either.

Its worked fine until some people decided that what it said had to mean more than what it said. Thus, the intrusion of government into daily life.

There are those who feel we were lucky to have survived our brush with self determination...

i cant call myself a conservative in any sense, but some of the things these "liberals" believe is just re=idiculous.

illegal immigration, gun control, death penalty, affirmative action, and private property rights are something me and the "conservatives" can agree upon.

But after that, the agreements end. I dont tend to associate with either side. But I lean more left than right.

its not like it matters though. liberal or conservative, some things are self evident. Illegal immigrants shouldnt be given amnesty after breaking our laws and using our system. There should be a complete seperation of church and state. Minorities shouldnt just suddenly get more opportunities unfairly because they are minorities, ect so on and so forth,

and its becoming ridiculous how idiotic people have become. It seems that all of Washington has become exceptionally incompetent, and corrupt, and cant stand up to a drop of biased criticism to stand up for whats right.

Its worked fine until some people decided that what it said had to mean more than what it said.

The arguements about what it said and what it meant occured all through the writing and signing and have continued ever since.
The very people who signed it argued both before and after signing on what it said and what it meant.

Exactly what I was going to say. Anyone who doesn't believe it should read up on the founding of the National Bank, or the assumption of State debts to Britain by the Federal Government. The arguments between Hamilton and Madison should be eye-openers to anyone who thinks this is a new thing.
