I do have a question - if you are so hell-bent on turning America into Russia, why did your wife opt to come here, rather than you go there? [/quote]

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?[/quote]

I have no idea how you deduced from the fact that you are too stupid to distinguish between Russia, Georgia, and the Soviet Union, 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, [b]the real question should be why are you living here?  [/b]

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.

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.[/quote]

Yea, but even Thomas Jefferson (last I checked, he was a Founding Father) even said that the Constitution was not a perpetual document - meaning that it SHOULD be intepreted to reflect the contemporary environment.

It is interesting too that your "power" lecture fails to discuss how deregulation (less government power) negatively impacted our financial, commodities and utilities markets.  Seems to me that you are ok with giving power to a few - as long as they are not in government. [/quote]

And interestingly enough, it can be - by following the checks and balances set up by Jefferson and the other founding fathers. The problem is, that's too much work for progressives. [/quote]

And yet....I am NOT a progressive.  I am a moderate. So honestly, if your retort to everything is a dig at progressives, then you are not making a point at all to me.

Besides that, the checks and balances did work in the Obamacare situtation - you just do not like the conclusion so you blame the process.  [/quote]
