LovesTravel Ah, yes, just the type of rhetoric that keeps the conversation civil. Whatever happened to disagreeing without being disagreeable? Congratulations for lowering the bar yet again.

LovesTravel Nice posting, owlwings. As a person who has experienced just of touch of healthcare in the UK, I have only high praise for the NHS. I am fully aware that the system is not perfect. In my opinion, however, it is far and away better than ours. In particular, it...

This may be opening up a can of worms and I am really not looking for debate, just information. So many people dislike Sarah Palin and the very mention of her name evokes a tremendous emotional response. It seems to be that you...

LovesTravel One more time. This passage NOT an advocacy for the Court to engage in redistribution of wealth. Obama is not "lamenting" its failure to do so. It is a description of what the Warren Court did and did not do, based on the role of Court as a pillar of...

LovesTravel No one said the president is "allowed" to amend the Constitution, though he is certainly "allowed" to lobby on behalf of principles he supports--just as George Bush did with his support for an abortion amendment and a marriage amentdment. He is also "allowed"...

LovesTravel You contradict yourself if you agree that constitutional amendments are sometimes necessary to guarantee individual freedom, yet that the Constitution was/is not deeply flawed. It is, after all, the product of human thought and human compromise. It is a...

LovesTravel Hmmmm, I don't really understand your point about Obama not upholding the Constitution. That's a pretty big accusation to be delivered in a relative vacuum. Obama swore to uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution. I don't think any president has ever taken...

I thought someone would start a discussion about this by now but, since no one has, I will. President Obama announced recently a plan that would crack down on individuals and businesses who keep their moeny overseas, thus avoiding...

LovesTravel Seriously, EVERYONE knows that pureblooded American capitalists have every right to cheat the taxman any way they can. Isn't that principle written up somewhere in the Constitution?

LovesTravel Thanks, xfahctor, for letting us know just where your stand. There really is very little to say to this kind of irrationality. I would say "go in peace," but I don't think that would interest you. Just for clarity, your quote is about breaking the bonds...
