The Most Important Piece of Paper in America
" If it ain't in the Constitution, it is illegal and we should stop spending money on it."
First of all, it's pretty clear that you have not read Farrand's record of the proceedings of the Framers nor have you consulted the Federalist Papers. The Constitution is not a receipe of specified ingredients analogous to baking a cake or cooking a stew.
When you look at the Constitution do you notice the number of open-ended provisions in it? How about the generalities in some provisions? Judicial review is not expressly mentioned in the document,,,so is it unconstitutional? There are no provisions for a National bank, so is it unconstitutional?
It surely would be noble of you to stand up for your notions of constitutional legitimacy by refusing a social security/railroad retirement pension; refusing medicare; and refusing medicaid especially as it covers nursing home care. In that way you can beat your breast and boast about fending for yourself. Of course, all of that will quickly disappear should you find yourself in desperate need, as it has for so very many who had previously held views like yours. posted 05/12/2008 at 10:52:32

Obama Vice President Picks: Who Are The Frontrunners?
Absolutely correct, Bannister. Webb is a graduate of Georgetown Law School as well, and is a successful novelist. I was delighted (and I gotta say shocked) to see Virginia awaken from its excessively parochial coma and send a man of his strong credentials and political philosophy to the Senate. I always have viewed him and Chuck Hagel, among the last of the diminishing moderate Republicans, as excellent candidates for the presidency. posted 05/10/2008 at 11:28:05
Vito Fossella Cries On House Floor After Drunk Driving, Adultery Revelations
So saith another Dupe on board:
"I see the liberal hypocrites are out in full force tonight. How quickly they forget Democrat Elliot Spitzer, screwing around with a hooker on the public dime. Slimy hypocrites!"
Let me see, now. Do these, your rightwinger heros, if not mentors, just for starters, meet your description as well?:
Newt Gingrich "exercising" with a young chick on his staff while at the same time decrying Clinton and Monica and is now being cheered by the rightwingers and invited to guest on TV programs? How about Dick Morris, formerly a GHW Bush and Clinton adviser, and currently a purveyor of moral judgments and political virtue on your Fox Newstwiser TV channel of choice who enjoyed toe-sucking with his prostitutes while serving the Clinton administration, according to newspaper accounts based on one of the women who squealed on him? How about Bob Livingston's activities that led him to resign just on the eve of his succeeding Gingich as Speaker? There are others, and you know it.
Finally, your assertion about liberal hypocrites in full force can apply equally as well to the Neofascist Republicans, whom you ardently support and mirror, often appearing in full force here on HuffPost and everywhere in the media. posted 05/09/2008 at 10:08:49

Sunday Roundup
Yes, of course, the public is fed excessive repetitions of the video loops of Reverend Wright's frenzied delivery of his sermon(s) which contrasts sharply with the fact that there have been virturally no videos of either televangelist preachers John Hagy or Rod Parsley, both of whom support McBush and deliver in the same style as Wright's when they are wound up.
Hagy in his San Antonio megachurch really gets into it when he all but calls for bombing Iran in order to precipitate the Rapture. Parsley, a Bush supporter too, in his Columbus, Ohio, megachurch, engages in a pacing, sweating, ranting, delivery with his Bible raised high, as his congregation breaks into a pavlovian ecstacy. Beyond that, there have been few articles concerning either of them.
Isn't it clear why it is that video clips covering these pastors whom McBush chased and pandered to for their endorsements have not been broadcast? It's because the neofascist plutocrats controlling the Republican propaganda machine don't want their next potential warrior stooge suffering adverse effects of such media exposure. The Redneck voters will of course enthusiastically support McBush and the continuation of the Bush Disaster, and will reject a "librul" candidate, whether black, white, male or female. posted 05/04/2008 at 14:51:11

Dana, who may be auditioning for a job at Fox after the merciful departure of The Puppet come January 2009, forgot that when the uproar about the sign began, the White House followed its usual ritual of lying when it attributed the placement of the sign solely to the Navy personnel on the Abraham Lincoln. Not long afterward, it was revealed and admitted that the White House crowd had indeeed arranged for it as a background for The Puppet. Now comes Dana with the explanation that well, the sign should have been more specific.
This sign obviously complemented the other arrangements: The carrier was deliberately delayed in reaching port so that The Puppet could with help land his plane on the deck and strut in his pilot suit. The carrier was turned about to show the wide open Pacific in the background for the contrived ceremonies, when in fact it was a short distance off San Diego. This stunt just added to the totality of elements of the Bush Mideast Disaster. posted 05/04/2008 at 09:40:47

John Gibson Mocks Rachel Maddow's Sexuality: "Ooh, Lesbians! Yummy!"
Gibson was on NBC prior to his joining Fox Newstwister Cesspool. During Geraldo Rivera's nightly show years ago on CNBC covering the OJ murder trial, Gibson would appear fairly often reporting from the field about the trial. Now Rivera is at Fox and maybe had something to do with Gibson's arrival there; however, Gibson may have been fired and not recruited. Mercifully, Gibson was removed from his TV show but kept his radio show. Many of us (who tune in briefly to test the crackpot performances as a source of humor) thought that he was at last invisible. However, he has begun to show up for a few minutes to bray his irrelevancies on the TV show that replaced him, featuring Bill Hemmer (from CNN) and a loud, nasal-tinny voiced blond (seemingly a requirement for employment at the Cesspool) who is as obnoxious as E.D. Hill (Shill O'Reilly's female sidekick on his radio show) and the regular guests Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. Gibson fits in very well with the scoundrels at Fox who for the right price will say just anything showing on the prompters and the more scabrous the content the more they love spewing it. posted 05/04/2008 at 11:11:33
McCain Implies Iraq War Is For Oil: Watch Video
Well, Senator McBush, you have confirmed the opinion of millions of us traitors, un-American comforters of the enemy, "libruls," and blame America firsters about what we said almost from the outset of the invasion, that the oil grab really was the reason for invading Iraq. Moreover, there were and are no plans for leaving Iraq, because, well, we do not intend to leave, just as you have also confirmed in your remarks that we will remain there for up to 100 years if necessary. posted 05/04/2008 at 10:01:45
McCain On Obama: "Clear Who Hamas Wants to be the Next President"
Responding to RedStateVoter's post at 513pm 4/25
Having been born in the Deep South of parents whose ancestry spanned generations of Southerners and my having relatives still in residence there, I know something about the place and about the Midwest, where I spent my 'teen years and completed my education, thanks to my father's career requirements.
I note your oblique reference to Obama's "bitter" remark. In your mind this says something about my political choice?
As to racism, I'll just refer you to the historical fact that in 1964 the sun set on the region filled as it was with Democrats and rose the next day filled with Republicans. LBJ himself correctly predicted it when he signed the Civil Rights Act that year. Further, you need only consult the foundation and purpose of the Southern Strategy born in the 60s and still very much alive and well. I strongly suspect that you know these things as fully as the rest of the Country does, and would not deny it.
I don't accept your suggestion that miscegenation is nonexistent in the South. Not everyone in the South listens to and obeys the tradition of Bob Jones University and the many televangelists who broadcast from Southern locations and who would never openly discuss this subject anywhere.
There was no change in the name of any company. It related to your hero's description of his show as being Excellence in Broadcasting.
Regarding your choosing residence in Bibleland, I say enjoy yourself. posted 04/27/2008 at 13:00:43

George Bush: Spiraling Iraq Violence "A Very Positive Moment"
The Puppet and his Puppeteer-Chickenhawk Cheney may become orgasmic if al-Sadr sends out his thousands in his army and really starts blowing up the place. It was this cleric, after all, who agreed to cease the military activity of his military insurgents about six months ago in order to allow the shaky government the opportunity to gain some control. Just a few weeks ago, he extended the agreement. During the relative quiet, the casualties dropped significantly and our own actiity was mostly air strikes in suspected neighborhoods with fewer door to door encounters. With no acknowledgment to the al-Sadr element, Patraeus was lauded profusely for the results. He recently repeated his opinion that it will take a political settlement, not a military action, to end the hostilities.
It now appears that things are heating up again. The removal of troops is on hold. Nonetheless, McBush is prepared as President to stay for however long it requires and implicitly however many casualties result if the Country is irresponsibile enough to put him in the White House. He clearly plans to continue the occupation and perform as Term III of the Bush Disaster. posted 03/27/2008 at 17:53:08

Greetings, fyllus:
Poor Vernon. Stupidity is the measure of the slack-jawed, mouth-breathing Dupes who sit mesmerized when Rush Limbaloney is bloviating on the radio and when the scoundrels at Fox News Cesspool are dumping their bilge on them.
Don't blame poor Vernon who has effectively undergone a frontal lobotomy at the hands of his idols spewing the ultra-right, quasi-fascist propaganda at him and which he accepts without question. Bereft of critical thinking, he enters his ridiculous posts lacking in substantive meri, unaware of the spectacle he makes of himself.
It would be interesting to know how many of the squalling Dupes on Huff Post who are retirees have given up their medicare and social security-railroad retirement benefits as a symbol of their contempt for the "socialism that the liberals have foisted on America." Their idols tell them they should fend for themselves. They should try it with a lot of flag waving and cheering for the free market laissez -faire, until disaster strikes them of course. posted 03/23/2008 at 10:39:38

I agree, Bill, that the Iraq War will continue until the profits diminish substantially for the Cheney-Bush constituency. In that event, though, there is no worry for them. Quite likely there has been selected the next evil dictator(s) for potential overthrow or attack if required by the profit sheet and whether the dictator's country is sitting on strategic minerals, such as oil for example.
But not all dictators are evil in our eyes, as borne out by history. The Sauds and the Chinese with harsh or non-existent human rights toward their people offer us no problem. The Sauds, who substantially support the madras schools attended by Muslim children who are taught anti-Western philosophy across the kingdom in return for our military protection of the monarchy against overthrow, and the Chinese who are fully financing our military adventures,are our favorites. This was true as to our policy toward the Central American dictators in the past who did as they were told in keeping the rabble under control while we grabbed what we sought . They were our pals. So, the test is whether the dictator in the cross-hairs is serving or willing to serve our interests. If so, he is our good friend, worthy of our diplomats; and if not, he is an evil man who is as we view it regularly is threatening and torturing his people yearning for freedom in his Country and who by his behavior constitutes a threat to peace in the World. His rule deserves only embargos, sabotage, and ultimately air attack and'or invasion if a reason for it can be concocted.

Here's something coming our way. Of course, the Dupes, bamboozled by Fox TV News Cesspool, will call it "librul hogwash."

Speaking about impeachment referred to in the previous posts, here is an article about the de facto president, Chickenhawk Cheney. This will offend the ultra-right quasi-fascists in charge of the Republican Party and of course the pitiful, mindless Dupes in plentiful supply in Bibleland and right here on Huff Post.

Well, what you really indicated was that the test of legitimacy of government programs (including regulations, I'm sure)) is whether the Constitution expressly provides for their content. Are bridges, dams, interstate highways, utility networks, and space exploration addressed in the Constitution?
