It doesn't matter one iota who violates the constitution. You could have read many arguments against things like the Patriot Act on this and similar blogs -- I know I did. Many of us liberty-minded folks were quite upset over increasing extra-constitutional actions over both the current and past administrations. You seem to think that we're only objecting to them when not done by "our guy." Quite the opposite... as I try to explain to my liberal/progressive friends, if you give "your guy" the power to do things you like, you are giving him and all that follow the power to do things you won't like. The only way to avoid this is to limit government powers to the absolute bare minimum.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-24633970907784026962013-11-29T06:23:55.676-05:002013-11-29T06:23:55.676-05:00You are correct, I should have read the article at...You are correct, I should have read the article at the Fact Check link.<br /><br />Mea Culpa.<br />After a bit more digging I see that I did not know the guy retracted his story.<br />My apologies and thank you for pointing it out a little more forcefully to my hard headed ass.

I mean I realize that only a slime ball who has no integrity and has an education on a par with Obama would make up such a statement. And given our education system I realize that you certainly wouldn't stoop to such cheap Marxist tactics that only a coward and troll would employ.<br /><br />But I look at Obama and Bush and I realize who you remind me of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-26260549162843270382013-11-27T11:07:02.076-05:002013-11-27T11:07:02.076-05:00Really, you aren't expecting the denizens of H...Really, you aren't expecting the denizens of Harlem to start reading the Constitution and vote for a Constitutionalist, are you? Ain't gonna happen! Black majority districts have consistently thrown up some of the most ignorant and criminal politicians in the USA: and that is really saying something when you think about the baseline. <br /><br />Lost cause given that the main news source for many of these voters is MTV Raps and Hollywood's latest "Horrors of Slavery - get Whitey back" exploitation film. <br /><br />Rangel is merely the political implementation of the knockout game. Any attempt to restore the Republic will have to deal directly with both him and the people who elect him.
