Re: see that bush 'wolve' commercial.?
Professor:<br /><br />If the repubs are for states rights, then why does their attorney general keep messing around with states rights? The constitution did not give the feds the right to meddle in any affairs besides the ones described therein. When states vote to decriminalize the medical use of marijuana, or doctor assisted suicide for those who choose it, why does the party of state's rights try to stop them? I think the repubs are just as much about strong centralized government as the dems are. Look at the expansion of the federal payroll under bush and the massive deficit spending that my kids and their kids will be paying for forever.<br /><br />Actually I am not the kind of person that demands services from my government and then *****es about paying for it. If the government can keep the roads up, the utilities regulated and a few other basics, that's just dandy with me. I use as little as possible in the way of government services, and many times have gone without when I was indeed eligible for government services. I did not take them out of principle, so maybe you should limit your discourse to subjects in which you have some knowledge. My personality and life history is not one of them.<br /><br />The USA patriot act, which the repubs crammed through less than two months after 911 includes, among other atrocities, the right for federal agents to come and look at your library records without a warrant AND (this is my favorite part) the librarian is subject to criminal charges if she notifies you that the feds looked at your records. This is one small part of a big fat bunch of new law, that your small government, state's rights, minds their own business party got passed into law, past a prostrate congress who didn't even have a chance to read it before voting on it. <br /><br />before you start ranting about michael moore and the liberal conspiracy to defame the W administration, John Ashcroft himself publicly defends this as a good thing, while at the same time, promising that it won't be used. Riiight. And if Bill Clinton, the devil himself, had proposed such a law, how do you suppose conservatives everywhere would have reacted?<br /><br />BTW, We already have established a couple of times that I a mnot a democrat, or a kerry supporter, or someone named "plywoody". Just to keep things straight.
the language part is woove as in, we woove don dat but wes a bit tarred taday.
