Re: The New Constitution

Admitting that problems are complex and that solutions are difficult is off-message, because our present administration has proved again and again that is doesn't have those solutions.<br /><br />The above piece of trash is another example of the the old saying, "Simple minds think simple thoughts."

Re: The New Constitution

Excuse me? :confused: <br /><br />Granted could be simplistic but I am a firm believer in the K.I.S.S. principle.<br /><br />Keep<br />It<br />Simple<br />Stupid<br /><br />Where exactly do you have a problem?<br /><br />Or are you believe in the redistribution wealth. In my book it is theft. When the Government does it it becomes legalized theft. <br /><br />Please I want to understand. What is the problem. Where is this so far of base. Maybe I need a labotomy.

Re: The New Constitution

Negativism turns me off. <br /><br />Our Constitution, including the Bill Of Rights is the most nearly perfect document ever written for governing a nation, and made more perfect as time goes by and we discover our own inequitable prejudices.<br /><br />All of your whining is covered, thoroughly.<br /><br />You do have a right to whine, and to the consequences of your whining. Be my guest.

Re: The New Constitution

Thanks, WVIT.<br />Just another example of your breed.<br />Slander those you disagree with using absolutely nothing of substance; i.e. facts.<br />I learned to call things "trash" and such somewhere around the 2nd grade in my public school. By the way, that public school system, rated rather low by your friends at newsweek/time et.al, receives in excess of 800 billion per year in federal funding. Now, include the funding by states, counties, and other elements (you know what that is...your property tax on your home) and how much bang for your buck are you getting? Pack your socialist idealism where it belongs. Oh my....87 bil for world stability to include taking this war front back across the world.....sign me on.<br />BTW, already been a part of it.
