"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." ~(1948) Norman Thomas, Six-time Socialist Cadidate for US Presidency
Torture? I’m so glad you brought up the subject. Mr. President and Attorney General Holder, Conservative African Americans have been waiting a lifetime to have this conversation. But before you and the sensitive members of the Democratic Party start with the Bush Administration, why don’t we review the torture tactic of the Democratic Party.
What are they afraid a bunch of law abiding citizens are going to go ACORN on them? Oh, that’s right, ACORN has all the Federal funds it needs to pay all the exhorbitant fees and insurance premiums for their Socialist Parties, but we freedom-loving citizens have to pay out of our own rip-shorn-over-taxed pockets to make ourselves be heard.
In Oakland, California “citizens” march in “honor” of Lovell Mixon, a convicted felon who murdered 4 police officers and is suspected of raping several women. They got their assembly permit, I suppose, but then again they are a bunch of Socilaists as you will see in this video – note the sign on the building in the background. Oh, and notice that their spokesman, Bakari Olatunji, continuosly refers to the “African community.” Not the “African-American community,” but the “African community.” I wonder if ACORN paid for their permits with our tax dollars?
I don’t pretend to be a genius on the Constitution, so let’s make that clear right of the top. I am not happy about the bonuses paid at AIG. And we KNOW that Geithner and Dodd both lied about knowing that these bonuses were in the pipeline. But I am still not clear if taking them back is pushing the envelope of Constitutionality. Most of the expert opinions I have seen seem to indicate it clearly pushes that envelope.
But I was shocked as one scholar declared there is no issue with any of five Constitutional Clauses that might be applied in this case. Now I have had to play this interview back several times to see if I should pick my jaw up off my desk and get on with my day or not.
We all have the right not only to access niche markets, but to establish our own niche market. That is what makes our economy – and our lives – so rich and vibrant with diversity (remember that word?).
For years, the Separation of Church and State issue has been gnawed on even though there is absolutely no such provision in the Constitution of the United States of America.
The “Establishment” clause reads:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
The current courts’ interpretation has twisted this clause in such a way that the clause is anathema to itself. It’s like that commericial that is on TV… Guy walks into a dry cleaner with a shirt and tells the attendant “I want it starched and not starched.” The attendent asks, “what part do you want starched and what part do your want not starched?” The man replies “All of it.”
