Re: Bill Of No Rights!
Well done Breaux, my story is similar to yours.<br /><br />plywoody says:<br />"And I am aware that conservatives, when at a loss for real data and real arguments, resort to throwing around the "liberal" label as if that made any sense whatsoever in any sort of argument." <br /><br />Actually it's from the pages of **** Morris (Clinton's political advisor), where you muddy the waters of truth, accuse the opposition of what you're actually guilty of. Divide and separate people and ALWAYS play the race card .......or children.<br /><br />plywoody says:<br />"Clinton showed this to some degree with the welfare reform act, and the unprecedented low unemployment rate." <br /><br />Another liberal debate trick is to repeat rhetoric as fact. I've called you on the Clinton/ Bush/ President's influence on the economy before.<br />You continue to use rhetoric as fact.<br /><br />Even though President Clinton promised to "end welfare as we know it" in his 1992 Presidential campaign, the national debate over welfare reform did not take shape until 1994, when the original "Personal Responsibility Act" was introduced in the House of Representatives as part of the Republican "Contract With America." <br />

We should embrace it, and not sound like it is the end of the world as we know it!" <br /><br />Straight from the horses mouth, so to speak plywoody. Dust off the old Constitution and get another dose of what you should be embracing.<br /><br />"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

Unfortunately, the simple answers rarely work." <br /><br />Nothing more simple then the TRUTH, or the CONSTITUTION, or the COMMANDMENTS, or the GOLDEN RULE. If you pragmatists would quit trying to reinvent, manipulate or change the truth the simple things WOULD work.<br /><br />
http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/general/bldef_pragmatism.htm?iam=savvy&terms=Pragmatist <br />According to Pragmatism, the truth or meaning of an idea or a proposition lies in its observable practical consequences rather than in anything more metaphysical. Basically, it can be summarized by the phrase "whatever works, is likely true." Because reality changes, "whatever works" will also change - thus, "truth" must also change over time. This means that no one can claim to possess any final or ultimate truth. <br />Pragmatism became popular with American philosophers and even the American public because of its close association with modern natural and social sciences.
