As a result of your ignorance, your question is nonsensical. Assuming you are alluding to my support for single-payer healthcare, that would be more consistent with the Soviet Union -- or Canada -- then either Tsarist Russia or post-Soviet Russia. Russia has a system not too dissimilar from Obamacare. Regardless, my wife is from Georgia. You may recognize that as the country which recently had a war with Russia.

Why on earth would you live here if you don't like the system of government?

You are the one who does not like our system of government. You are clearly unhappy with the Supreme Court. Jeff just wants a better health care system.

I am unhappy with the bastardization of our system of government. I am QUITE happy with our system of government as it's supposed to be.

That's the problem with progressives; they think what's going on IS OUR SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT, not a breach.

I have no idea how you deduced from the fact that you are too stupid to distinguish between Russia, Georgia, and the Soviet Unionf, the conclusion that I don't like the system of government here. Moreover, given that you have said that our president is a traitor, that Congress illegally passed the Affordable Healthcare Act, and that the Supreme Court has been acting unconstitutionally, the real question should be why are you living here?

As they say, "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel". Even scoundrels who hold your anti-government beliefs play that card. There is no greater indication of intellectual bankruptcy.

This is when I know you have nothing left to say that's relevant, and that the dog now is not black because it has three white hairs.

Any man that continually needs to insult, accuse, and otherwise behave in such a manner can't be of great intellect. Disgusting behavior. Were my husband to treat people like this, I would probably have left.

Because I'm the one who believes in our system of government as laid out by the forefathers and would like to see a return to that, without all the corrupt behavior. I'm not the one, like you, who believes we should be 'fundamentally changing America", which is an anti-government belief, i.e. 'what's written is so poor, it needs to be fixed' (apparently via socialization).

So again, you can twist and turn all you want, but the fact is, this President has indeed behaved in traitorous ways. You might agree with his illegal spying, his war(s) uncleared through Congress, his cohorts using of only a bill number and then claiming it's the same bill, but anyone with any logic at all, never mind any sort of belief in our forefathers' vision, can't go there.

The thing about the forefathers is they say y'all coming - they knew that when you give men power, they will use that to their advantage and do anything to keep it. So they went through great pains to create a system of government that puts the power in the people's hands. That progressives think it's a better idea to give the government officials MORE power, is stunning in my eyes, as it's pretty clear that our forefathers were correct about how people in power behave. And to do it, using the methods and attacks progressives use proves the forefathers correct yet again.

Bringing an end to slavery fundamentally changed America. One must assume, therefore, that you opposed ending slavery. Giving women the vote also fundamentally changed America. Presumably, you regret that change.

It is particularly cynical of you to accuse me of support for government spying and US-led wars when you know full well that I am one of the most vocal opponents of both on DCUM. For instance, I oppose US intervention in Syria because it will mostly benefit al-Qaida and al-Qaida-like groups. One can assume that you are torn between the opportunity to kill Muslims and your natural reaction to oppose anything that Obama does. Tough situation for you.

Was that done unconstitutionally?

You want more government power as a progressive? You're seeing it in Obama. Enjoy

[Anonymous]

The trouble with more government power is that we cannot pick and choose where it will use that power. Obama proves this-as have other presidents.

Well, that system, as laid out by our forefathers, decreed that the Supreme Court has the last word in interpreting the Constitution. Unless you believe that Marbury v. Madison is a unconstitutional?

So can you please leave this forum, then? It takes a hell of a lot of nerve to insult Jeff using his personal information while remaining anonymous.

"Y'all" used Homeland Security to track down Texas state legislators back when Tom Delay was House Majority leader. I think "y'all" out to be honest and admit that your interest in limiting government power is restricted to what the Democrats do, but "y'all" are happier than pigs in slop when you do it yourselves. Thank you Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit /Obamaphone /Domestic Surveillance loving Republicans.

Not in the way that the court has been doing it in the past years. What happened with ObamaCare is that Marbury v. Madison stuck them with the decision of what to do with the rest of the law if the mandate was deemed unconstitutional, since it was stated as a fine, rather than a tax. Therefore, it was muddled into 'well, it ACTS like a tax, therefore it IS a tax". That is NOT the Supreme Court's role.

Not really.

The programs have grown immensely under Obama, which is EXACTLY what conservatives thought would happen, which is why we didn't like the 'throw freedom away for security" aspects of Homeland Security. Power always, ALWAYS leads to more power.

And how were those changes made, Constitutionally through amendment? Or not?
