Thomas Jefferson:
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Was the government to prescribe to us our medicine and diet, our bodies would be in such keeping as our souls are now? Hmmmm... prophetic, eh? F*ck Obamacare & Mooshelle.
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” (Quoting Cesare Beccaria) Ya Ya: RIGHT ON CHICAGO DEMOCRAPS, YOU ALL SUCK!
The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits.

No man has a natural right to commit aggression on the equal rights of another, and this is all from which the laws ought to restrain him.
To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. Liberty shall prevail November 6, 2012. Goodbye, the tyrant One.
Me:.....Another four years of this horse hockey will be the destruction of our country and accolades for the domestic BS commies who feel alive and thriving on this again.
We are Americans. Let's take our Country back, and tell this hi-jacked admin to take a hike...errrr. raft will suffice.
Wish you were here, Jefferson/Patton!!!!






















(Maybe I should have said "at the People's Republic border!")
However, just as I believe government has no right to dictate a woman's medical choices and procedures, I believe it also has no right to force me to subsidize what I believe is a personally irresponsible and morally reprehensible decision. The government should be neither pro nor con, no laws banning it as well as no subsidies paying for it or subsidizing for organizations who might support or encourage it. (Like Planned Parenthood for example.)
So I guess I'm pro-life, but I believe in another's freedom of choice to be pro-death if she chooses.
If you want to pay for abortions, you have every right to do so. Go stand in front of a Planned Parenthood office and tell someone going in you'll cover it, or make a donation to Planned Parenthood. Better yet, buy abortion gift-certificates and give them out at Christmas or for other special occasions. (I'd assume for weddings and christenings they might be considered inappropriate.)
That's the trouble with you libs. It's not enough just to have the right or freedom of choice in any given situation. There's always the next step where you want someone else to pay for it. The Constitution gives the federal government only two specific duties. That's to provide for the common-defense and to promote free trade between the states. That last one has been stretched way beyond any reasonable limits or interpretations.
Anyway, like I said, the next election will probably not only decide who the next presi...

Anyway, like I said, the next election will probably not only decide who the next president will be, but a general referendum on just what direction the citizens want this country to go. Farther into the socialist welfare state or to reverse course and go back towards the limited government and core principles of personal responsibility that allowed us to become the nation we once were. A nation where people worldwide wanted to come to America to build a new life, not collect a free-check and try to re-create America into the same kind of place they fled.
Whattaya know! We actually agree on a couple of things!
Hense the Constitution's 3rd amendment.
The rules of law give courts the ability to dictate behavior to those using the courts. To declare a person in contempt to to declair they are not observing the rules of the courtroom and the rules of laws. There is no FORCE there is only FACT of the act. Without such abilities the courts would be rendered useless and laws could not be enforced in a society
Here's another poll on the subject:

Here are some books on the topic:
The Federalists Papers: Hamilinton, Madison, Jay
The Spirit of Laws; Secondat and Montesquieu
Law Dictionary US
American Constitutional Interpretation; Murphy, Fleming, Barber
Ratification; Maier
Webster's Dictionary
Laws made by the federal congress are realitive ineffective, even tax laws, if local governement simply are willing to use the powers they have been granted to stop them.
But as for the converstation in regards to this question the government has never been set up to be an enforcer it was set up by the founders to be a protector the problem is that it now believe it must protect us from ourselves adn it thinks this way because we have allowed to through complantecy.
First off by definition the courts do a lot besides those things. The government is needed to make business work. Without the government there could be no corporations. Therefore the government needs to regulate corporations. This can not be left to the state governments because they are often much smaller then the corporations would try to regulate so they would just get laughed at.
Without modern public education this country would be less then 3rd rate. The military wouldn't work. The corporations would move all the jobs out. So we need that. Since both the population and the corporations are multi-state that means the Feds need to be involved. Plus poor areas of the country like the South need to be funded by rich areas like California and New England or they would fall way behind.
National Parks are needed to maintain the most valuable places in America. Only the Federal government can afford to set aside this land.
Without Federal funding of research the internet would not exist, in fact most of the modern telecommunications system would not exist. Nor would we be able to defend ourselves from other who did fund research. Without it we would be much less safer from ...

Nor would we be able to defend ourselves from other who did fund research. Without it we would be much less safer from weather events. Tornado's would arrive with notice, crops would dry up in unpredicted droughts. Because of the Federal space program we have food to eat. By the way this is why the founding fathers set up the post office.
This is not 1789 when most people lived and died with 50 miles of where they were born, now we move thousands of miles at the drop of a hat.
