What do Liberals think about the high school kids wearing U.S.A shirts during the 5th of May? ....and getting kicked out of school for it. This is pretty much a open/shut case of the 1st amendment of the Constitution.........come on law kids, you would have taken this case right...? Sorry, but wearing an American shirt on any day isn't offensive in a California High School. THIS IS AMERICA! When the country of Mexico takes over, let me know........'San Diego Resident'.

What Happened To The U.S. Constitution That You Can't Choose Your Children's Names? When Did CPS Become God? PHILADELPHIA, PA -- Little Adolf Hitler Campbell's future may be shaped by two huge events he had no control over: the name his parents gave him and the day last December when a grocery store refused to put that name on his birthday cake. Adolf was only three. Now, his family says the fury over the cake episode may cost Adolf and his young sisters the one thing kids count on the most: their parents. Adolf's sisters also have names associated with Nazis: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszylynn Hinter Jeannie Campbell. After the controversial birthday cake story made headlines around the world in January, the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services took all three kids out of their parents' Milford home. An aunt, speaking on behalf of the family, says they're all afraid now that the children will be put up for adoption. The big question is: Why? "I think the names were a big part of it. Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation? Their names had a lot to do with ther being taken," Jeannie Coverdale said Wednesday. She is speaking on behalf of the couple so they don't break the gag order in the case. Parents Deborah and Heath Campbell, who received death threats after defending the birthday cake request, said in January they heard rumors that someone made an anonymous and false allegation of child abuse against them. Right now the Campbells get to visit their kids twice a week but Coverdale says five months after the kids were taken away, no one has given them any kind of detailed explanation. "They're not giving Heath and Debbie any information or telling them how to gain their kids back," Covendale said. "I truthfully think that Youth Services will put the kids up for adoption." State officials are not supposed to talk publicly about cases involving minors in order to protect the children. Heath Campbell said the agency told him in January the children were removed because they were in "imminent danger." The Campbells, in interviews, have continually denied being Nazi sympathizers or anything of the sort. The couple has defended the names of their children saying they found them in baby books and reserve the right to name their children whatever they like. "A name is a name," Heath Campbell said last December. Coverdale also defended the names earlier this year with this analogy: "What about tomorrow night when the President of the United States stands up and says, is forced to say, my name is Barack Hussein Obama. How's that going to hit the world?" Coverdale said. "I'm saying the one with the middle name he has, was a terrorist." She says it's "no different" than having a name like Adolf Hitler.

Hey Kate, ever hear of the Constitution of the U.S.? I recently asked a question about a gun. You jumped on me with both feet. I don't suppose you have ever heard of a document called the Constitution of the United States of America let alone read it. The second amendment guarentees the right to bear arms. If you think my simple question has anything to do with the kids shooting up schools you live on a different planet than the rest of us. Try looking at the video games they play and the movies they watch not to mention the music they listen to. Get my drift? My question made a lot more sense than 95% if the garbage out on ASK now, to wit: "Are you embarrassed by your wife's skid marks?" or maybe "How can I get my bf to love me?" Kate, maybe when you grow up you might understand this world a little better than you do now but, for now, stay away from serious questions and deal with the "skid marks" kind.

Should kids of illegal aliens who are here thru no fault of their own qualify for in-state college tuition? Think about U.S. citizens in other states who don't get the "in-state" college tuition rate of a neighbor state, yet a non-U.S. citizen kid of an illegal alien would qualify in many states. However, also think about the kid of an illegal alien who has been here since they were 1 (or 5, or 7) and are now 16/17 and applying to get into college. It wasn't their fault; it was their parents fault. Perhaps we should ensure they get legal status in a timely manner? We can't send them back at that age. Perhaps, in the end, that is the solution: pick a timeframe (for example, 3 years) and say, "If the Federal (U.S.) Government can't enforce its own rules, these people -- once found -- need to prove English proficiency and knowledge of the Constitution (same as any other applicant) to obtain legal status. Of course, improving federal enforcement will go a long way toward alleviating all these predicaments.

what Do U think Day Laborer Organizations Challenge Unconstitutional Anti-Immigrant Ordinance? May 18, 2010 — Two Long Island organizations that protect the rights of Latino day laborers filed a lawsuit today challenging an Oyster Bay town ordinance that violates core constitutional rights of free speech and equal protection under the law, and is intended to drive Latino immigrants from the community. On behalf of the Centro de la Comunidad Hispana de Locust Valley and the Workplace Project, the lawsuit was filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, American Civil Liberties Union and LatinoJustice PRLDEF. “This misguided ordinance uses public safety as a smokescreen for intolerance and violates the constitutional rights of day labors and all Oyster Bay residents,” said Samantha Fredrickson, director of the NYCLU’s Nassau County Chapter. “It is a symptom of the anti-immigrant hostility that has swept across Long Island and the country in recent years.” The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the town of Oyster Bay and Town Supervisor John Venditto, maintains that the ordinance violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. “The true purpose of this ordinance is to prevent a group of predominantly Latino day laborers from making a living in Oyster Bay,” said Cesar Perales, president and general counsel of LatinoJustice PRLDEF. “Day laborers are hardworking people and provide a valuable service to this community that we are all part of; their kids go to school here and they work, spend money and go to church. But as a result of this law, many of them have lost the ability to earn a living wage.” Enacted in September 2009, purportedly to address traffic and pedestrian safety, the Oyster Bay ordinance prohibits standing on the sidewalk to solicit employment and bars motorists from stopping to solicit employment or hire workers. The ordinance criminalizes a wide variety of constitutionally protected speech that presents no threat to traffic safety, including, for example, students soliciting cars for a high school carwash fundraiser. http://www.nyclu.org/news/day-laborer-organizations-challenge-unconstitutional-anti-immigrant-ordinance-oyster-bay I like how they drag the kids into this arguement they are acting like they are just like any other day laborer out there

Did you learn anything from Schoolhouse Rock? I can still recite(sing) the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution among many other things that I learned from these cartoon shorts. I feel that they should still be aired or more up to date versions created for our kids.

Why does the Constitution Party want to turn the U.S. into a Christian Theocracy? they want to take away the states rights to vote on certain moral issues such as gay marriage, abortion, etc. and make it completely illegal for any state to impliment them under any circumstance. they want Chrstianity taught as FACT in schools, (for example instead of learning science kids will learn about adam and eve). Heck they even want to make porn illegal and loads of other personal things they deem morally unexceptable!! I thought they were supposed to be supporters of the Constitution and freedom not the American version of the Taliban! here is a link to their websites party platform, read it all , you will be shocked how unconstitionally facist some of their stance really is! http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php

Would A change to the Constitution help reduce illegal immigration? One of the problems with illegal aliens in this country is our Constitution. Article 14, Section 1 states that anyone born or naturalized in the U.S. is automatically a citizen. Thus the children of illegal aliens born in this country are American citizens. The Irish had the same provision in their Constitution until they had a flood of illegal aliens coming to their country and then having kids there. So, unlike our politicians, the Irish wrote and passed a new amendment to their Constitution that states that at least one parent must be an Irish citizen for the child to have Irish citizenship. This provision became law in June 2004. Why don't our politicians do the same thing?

Should there be an amendment added to the Constitution to end all aspects of illegal immigration? I think there should be an amendment added to stop the occurrence of border babies. If the mothe is in the U.S. illegally, the child doesn't get citizenship. Plain and simple. I think we should provide ER care to illegal immigrants, but no other resources that are put in place for U.S. citizens. I also think we should militarize the borders (Mexico & Canada) and allow those already here up to ONE year to pay a $2000-5000 fine and require them to speak English. If the illegal does not follow the rules, we deport them immediately--whether their kids are born here or not.

Should People Born is the USA be American Citizens? Arizona Republicans will likely introduce legislation this fall that would deny birth certificates to children born in Arizona - and thus American citizens according to the U.S. Constitution - to parents who are not legal U.S. citizens. The likely new bill is for the kids. While SB 1070 essentially requires of-age migrants to have the proper citizenship paperwork, the potential "anchor baby" bill blocks the next generation from ever being able to obtain it. The idea is to make the citizenship process so difficult that illegal immigrants pull up the "anchor" and leave. The question is whether that would violate the U.S. Constitution. The 14th Amendment states that "all persons, born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." Should we be calling Americans Anchor babies? Isn't America a nation of Immigrants? Would that mean You Wouldn't be a American either?

C'mon guys are you honestly going to tell me this isn't a worth cause? DETROIT -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan has filed a religious liberty lawsuit on behalf of a ninth-grader who is facing expulsion from a public charter school after he refused to comply with the dress code that requires all male students to maintain “closely cropped” hairstyles. Claudius Benson, 14, was enrolled in Old Redford Academy in Detroit for three days when he was suspended on grounds that he was not in compliance with the hair provisions of the school’s dress code. Benson’s mother said she strictly abides by various Old Testament provisions, including a passage in the book of Leviticus that forbids the cutting of hair. Benson has not cut his hair since he was 4 years old. "Punishing Claudius for practicing his religion is both unnecessary and illegal," said Kary L. Moss, Executive Director of the ACLU of Michigan. "Students should never have to choose between remaining faithful to their religion and getting an education." After Claudius’ suspension, his mother, Alecha Benson, appealed to the school’s governing board and outlined her religious beliefs. To this date, the school has refused to reinstate him. Before filing suit, the ACLU of Michigan sent a letter to the school’s attorney stating that Old Redford Academy was violating the religion and free speech clauses of The U.S. Constitution and the Michigan Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act of 1969. "We teach our kids about the Bill of Rights, about freedom and about tolerance," said Alecha. "Today my son is getting a real life lesson. This is about much more than a haircut. It's about fairness, equality and our religious beliefs." The ACLU is asking the court to declare the school’s actions as unconstitutional and grant a special accommodation for Claudius in much the same way that Jewish students who are required to wear a yarmulke. In addition, the ACLU is asking the court to force the school to erase the expulsion from his school records. Earlier in the year, the ACLU of Michigan settled another case with the Old Redford Academy involving a fifth-grader whose hair was three-fourths of an inch too long. The ACLU of Michigan said the child was repeatedly punished with detentions and suspensions before he was expelled. After the ACLU intervened, the school agreed to clear his records and allowed him to return to the school. Sarge - very good point there! Something I didn't thing about. If they're going to support religious freedoms and uphold separation of church state (since charters are I believe a type of public school) then it ought to applied equally. Pfo - This out ward appearance as a commandment was repeated in the law given to the Nazarene, a razor shall not come upon his head, until the days be fulfilled which he vowed to the Lord: he shall be holy, cherishing the long hair of the head all the days of his vow to the Lord... (Numbers 6:5-6).

How do you feel about republicans using the education system to inductrinate kids through revisionist history? And conservative propaganda? None of the board members are historians. None. The Texas Republicans U.S. revised History textbooks to promote conservatism: Added disgraced anticommunist Joseph McCarthy stating Liberals lied about him, he was a hero. Of course most educated Americans remember Wisconsin Republican Joseph McCarthy who burst onto the national stage in the early 1950s with accusations that he had a list of names of known Communists in the federal government. He did not name them, (there were none) but McCarthy was censured by the Senate eventually and his name became synonymous with witch hunts — McCarthyism! A true Republican hero. Added Republican Phyllis Schlafly, the anti-Equal Rights Amendment activist who said “almost everything about (Joseph) McCarthy in current history books is a lie and will have to be revised”. She also said “I submit to you that the feminist movement is the most dangerous, destructive force in our society today. [...] My analysis is that the gays are about 5% of the attack on marriage in this country, and the feminists are about 95%. [...] I’m talking about drugs, sex, illegitimacy, drop outs, poor grades, run away, suicide, you name it, every social ill comes out of the fatherless home.” Added Confederate leader Jefferson Davis, who supported slavery and treason against the United States. Added the Heritage Foundation, a right wing ‘think tank’ which supports faith-based initiatives, school vouchers, ban on abortion, overturning affirmative action programs are hostile to minorities and women, and push for upward distribution of wealth for the rich. Added the Moral Majority, founded by Jerry Falwell who along with Pat Robertson, blamed the 9/11 terrorist attacks on “the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists and the gays and lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle.” To avoid exposing students to “transvestites, transsexuals and who knows what else,” the Board struck the curriculum’s reference to “sex and gender as social constructs.” The Board refused to require that “students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others.” The Board struck the word “democratic” from the description of the U.S. government, instead terming it a “constitutional republic.” Removed Thomas Jefferson replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin. Of course they are too ignorant to know Calvinism led to only one denomination, and that denomination today is far from practicing the radical Calvinism as it conflicts severely with the current trappings of the religious right which emphasis the free choice aspects of salvation.

Is it wrong for a parent to keep Children away from Democratic Liberals? I don't mean on an absolute level. There are, of course, times when it can't be helped. And, I'm not refering to keeping children isolated. But, when it comes to socializing and day to day influence by people, Is it more beneficial for a parent to keep their kids away from these people and have more interaction with those that believe in the values and constitution that the U.S. was founded on?

Should schools have the right to ask if children are illegal? Tucson Region http://www.azstarnet.com/allheadlines/290558 Sheriffs: Are you in school legally? By Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services Tucson, Arizona | Published: 04.28.2009 PHOENIX — Some border county sheriffs want Arizona schools to start asking students whether they're in this country legally. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik originated the idea and said millions of dollars in Arizona taxes go to teach English to children who have no legal right to be here. He also said there's a link involving illegal immigration, social problems and gangs. Only thing is, a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision appears to make it illegal for school officials to ask. In a 5-4 decision, the justices overturned a Texas law that authorized school districts to refuse to enroll anyone who couldn't prove legal residence. But Dupnik said it may be time for Arizona to have a test case to put the issue back before the high court — to see if the current justices agree. Dupnik has the backing of Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden and Joe Arpaio, his Maricopa County counterpart. And Gov. Jan Brewer said she sees no reason why youngsters shouldn't be asked to prove they are U.S. citizens or legal residents. "When I grew up, when I went to school, when I moved from Nevada to California, I had to bring my birth certificate to prove I was a citizen," she said. But Attorney General Terry Goddard said he doesn't think schools have the expertise to determine legal status. And state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne said he believes the federal government should just do a better job of protecting the border. "But as long as kids are here, they should be in school," he said. "You don't want them on the street corner." Dupnik, however, has an answer for that: Have schools report their findings to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "They would identify the people that are here illegally by the thousands and send them back, kids and parents," he said. The issue has financial implications: The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that 60,000 to 65,000 of the 1.2 million youngsters in Arizona schools are not in this country legally. The Department of Education figures basic state aid for students is about $6,000 a year, not counting what the state pays for school construction. That puts the price tag near $390 million — minus, of course, any taxes from illegal residents that go toward education funding. But that doesn't count the extra $360 per student Arizona now gives to schools to help English-language learners. Assuming two-thirds of these students fit that category, that adds $15 million to the tab. In 1982, however, the Supreme Court voided a 1975 Texas law that denied state aid to districts for children not "legally admitted" into the United States. That law also allowed districts to deny admission to those students. Attorneys for Texas argued that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which entitles every person to equal protection of law, doesn't apply to those not in the country legally. "We reject this argument," Justice William Brennan wrote for the majority. "Whatever his status under the immigration laws, an alien is surely a 'person' in any ordinary sense of the term." And Brennan said education is the only way people can advance themselves. Tucson-area education leaders were hardly supportive of the sheriffs' idea. "Our function is not immigration, but to provide a quality education to kids who live in our district or who come in under open enrollment," said Nicholas Clement, superintendent of the Flowing Wells Unified School District. He said it could invite new problems for schools, envisioning the need to hire additional staffers, order additional training and make difficult decisions on what kinds of documentation would be acceptable. the only reason whole article was not posted was length, there is no solicitation because this is just an article I came upon.

Does anybody know anything about george washington? George Washington was known as the “Father of the country” because he was the first president of the U.S.A., and he was first person to appear on postage stamps with him being elected unanimous. He was one of the two presidents who signed the U.S constitution. He was also the greatest president the U.S.A had ever had. He was also the only president inaugurated in two cities: New York and Philadelphia, nut he had to borrow money. “Washington's inauguration speech was 183 words long and took 90 seconds to read. This was because of his false teeth.” He was one of the biggest presidents the U.S.A had because he weighed 200 pounds and he was 6 feet and 2 inches. He was the oldest son of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington, but when his dad died in 1743 he was only eleven, so his half brother Lawrence became apart of the household. George had three hound dogs, so he treated them as his own family. They had weird names their were Tarter, Sweet, and Sweet lips. George started school when he was six, but ended when he was fifteen. He joined the British Navy and when he turned 15 he became a surveyor because his mother couldn't afford to send him to college and he was a general in the military rank. At the age of 16, in 1748, Washington joined a surveying party sent out to the Shenandoah Valley by Lord Fairfax, a land baron. “He was a distinguished general and commander in chief of the colonial armies in the American Revolution.” He also fought for our freedom. George was oldest brother in his dad’s second marriage. He died when he was 67 because he had a throat infection. “While he was growing up he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman.” After a few years he was married to a widow who was rich and her name was Martha Dandridge Cutis. His wife already had two kids and their names were John and Martha. His religion was Episcopalian, so he was baptized on April 5, 1732, and His godfathers were Beverley Whiting and Captain Christopher Brooks. His godmother was Mrs. Mildred Gregory. Also he was a planter, a soldier, and a surveyor. While he was a president he had a vice president, his name was John Adams. “George Washington led the Continental army to victory over the kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary war at (1775 – 1783.)” and he was the only president that died in the 1700’s. While he was at war he realized that the best strategy was to harass the British. It looked like he had wooden teeth, but when he was 57 he had toothaches so they he had all his teeth pulled out, from then on he wore ivory false teeth. George Washington owned ten slaves from his father, but when he grew older he freed his slaves because his attitude towards slavery had changed. George likes to eat ice-cream and fish, that’s why in his spare time he would go fishing, and he liked to go fox hunting. He also had two ice- cream freezers put in his house at Mount Vernon. He like marijuana as his primary crop grown at Mount Vernon, but when he was three his family moved to a tobacco plantation which they called Mount Vernon. He was a very sickly child and not able to help on the plantation so he stayed at the house doing chores and gardening. That is where and why he found his love for plants and gardening. George didn’t live in the White House because it wasn’t build yet when he was a president. There was a quote that George Washington loved it would say that “I walk on untrodden ground. There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent."

Why is Obama still running this joint? Okay, before anyone starts going on about me or anyone who dislikes Obama being racist, honey it doesn't have anything to do with the color of that mans skin, it has to do with this : The U.S. Constitution requires that no one can be sworn into office as President of the United States without being a "natural born" citizen. Article. II. Section 1: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." Okay? Read that? Obama's grandmother, Sarah Obama even stated in an interview that he was born in Kenya before any of this was even brought up. So I ask my fellow Americans, why is this man still running this place? No one can seriously think the plans he's got for this country are going to make this place better, anyone who's on this guys side should be smacked in the mouth. He's going to tear this country apart piece by piece. To African American's reading this I'm not trying to preach but are you really going to trust someone because they look like you? He is not on your side, he's not on anyone's side not anyone who's an American, if he isn't stopped soon you should expect your world to start crumbling from beneath your feet in the near future.. Before I go just let me add, he's trying to turn our wonderful country into a country like the ones you see on TV where kids are starving and you hear the sob stories about their parents dying.. Well that's going to be you dead, and your kids on the TV. Be wise America.. K to the person who says that he's giving healthcare away, are you aware that he's going to FORCING Americans to buy health insurance or they will be FINED, yeah that's really giving it to 'em...

Christians if the whole Bible counts then does these verses still count too? Leviticus 19:10 - "And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God." Matthew 10:8 - "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Proverbs 22:16 - "He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty." Bonus questions - 1) Did you know that teachings of evolution being forced on Christian kids is paid for with tax dollars that come from taxes that even Christians have to pay for? 2) Do you believe in God's word enough to oppose abortion? 3) Do you believe in God's word enought to oppose the false science teachings of evolution being forced on Christian kids? 4) Did you know that politicians such as the republicans held the majority vote on Capitol hill from early 1995 to early 2009 and while they were in office, they DID NOTHING to create an amendment outlawing abortion or to created an amendment doing anything about the false science called evolution that's being forced on Christian kids? 5) Did you know that SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) cannot make laws but that they have to uphold laws and this includes especially that the Supreme Court has no choice but to uphold amendments to the U.S. Constitution even if they don't like the amendments such as when a liquor prohibition amendment was passed (18nth amendment) or when a liquor legalization amendment did away with the prohibition amendment (the 21st amendment)? 6) Do you oppose abortion enough to NOT reelect politicians such as the republicans who lie about having more Christian values than others but elect people who do instead? 7) Did you know that you can petition to have politicians recalled with a recall election, if they refuse to stand up for Christian issues like they said they would? 8) Did you know that you can start a Christian political party if that's what it would take to not let people force things on Christians anymore? 9) Did you know websites such as these have existed for quite sometime? http://www.theatheistconservative.com/articles-of-reason/ http://www.theatheistconservative.com/review-god-delusion/ Here's one of the links that link to the site above - http://secularright.org/wordpress/?page_id=2 10) Did you know that there are things in common that TRUE Christians have no matter what political parties people have been voting for most of the time or part of the time? 11) Did you know that TRUE Christians can unite on the verses I mentioned besides of course the issues that I mentioned? 12) Did you know you can do things about things going on such as I mentioned about putting pressure on politicians with threats of recall elections petitions or starting a new party or be a sellout? Before I forget to mention it - politicians such as Ron Paul is in the libertarian party and the libertarian party like the republicans for example supports NOT regulating business against fraud. Proof of that is Alan Greenspan having been a libertarian most of his life such as atheist ayn rand is and he told capitol hill not to regulate wall street derivatives and look at what happened when he did that - the current financial disaster that exists now. Greenspan later saw the error in his blind trust and belief in laissez faire economic philosophies and admitted it - http://video.pbs.org/video/1302794657/ Before I forget to mention it - In case there was any contesting that the new testament totally does away with the old testament - Have you read this verse for example - Matthew 5:17 - "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill them". In case I forgot to mention it - There might or might not be factions of people who will claim this: That the Supreme court can over turn laws and rule to change laws - So people who claim this may try to claim that the Supreme Court could overturn amendments too. If people claim this - this is just an excuse for politicians lack of actions so they can lay all the blame on other politicians instead of being accountable for their own lack of actions. Proof of that can easily be surmised because those who know the law know that amendments aren't just normal laws, they are part of constitutional law and the Supreme Court can NOT go against the constitution laws as the constitution is the ultimate authority on fair law in the United States, as well it is the ultimate law of the land of the United States. BEFORE I FORGET TO MENTION IT - In case anyone wanted to accuse me of being an atheist - they might want to consider if I've been here defending God before they were. I admit I had my skepticism before I wanted to start letting God in my life and I was angry at God before, but a big reason I was angry at God is the cold - hearted actions by some people who dare to call themselves Christians. Those cold hearted actions by some people who call themselves Christians were being directed at and carried out against - suffering people. HOWEVER, I realized those people being cold hearted weren't really Christians. It's bigoted people worshipping money who are hateful to people because of their races such as bigots like the kkk, the nazis AND those bigots supporters who are NOT Christians besides non-believers, people who worship the dollar instead of God or other phonies and those phonies who are bigoted are amongst other phonies who are cold hearted to and attack people who are suffering. ALSO BEFORE I FORGET TO MENTION IT - If anyone wanted to imply, insinuate or boast that the republicans have a better track record by implying that all democrats lie and republicans don't - that would be the biggest lie because the republicans have a worse track record for lying and doing bad things. I can easily be sure of that because - besides one bush lying about weapons that don't exist, another bush family member (a brother and son of the bushes - neil bush) lying about the mess he caused in the S & L crisis in the 80's, another bush lying with phrases like "read my lips - no new taxes" plus remember republican jack abramoff being sent to prison for doing crooked things - Here's a very, very long list of republican pedophiles - http://911review.org/Alex/Republican_Pedophiles.html Plus there's a lot lot more bad things the republicans have done. I'm not saying every republican politician is that slimey, but many of them are & keep in mind I'm moderate not liberal

How can we keep this from happening? Mexico's War On America Resultant Collateral Damage By Frosty Wooldridge 3-24-6 "If u dont like that sh*t, get the f**k outa here. Go back to europe where there are no mexicans. this is our land and u white devils took it from us and the indians... ya baby we takin ova..... first l.a now Denver, then the rest of the east coast sucker.... hahaha," eloquently chortled an illegal Mexican into my inbox. This writer fails to understand that red, brown, yellow, black and white Americans make up the United States. More than 150 countries represent Americans. Unfortunately, in the face of this illegal Mexican invasion, most Americans maintain 'political correctness' in the name of 'silent-assertion', which, as Mark Twain said, "Is the shabbiest of all lies." Naively, Americans don't understand the implications of Mexico's methodical colonization of the United States. Once Mexicans gain majorities in our cities and voting blocks, they care nothing for political correctness, civil rights or the U.S. Constitution. Another reader wrote, "I look into my crystal ball and see into the future, the year 2036, exactly 200 years after Travis, Bowie, Crockett and my great, great, great grandfather James George and 176 others died defending the Alamo. I see my descendents' children in school, facing discrimination, violence, disease, drugs and an untenable learning environment. My descendants have been taxed out of their property and their wealth distributed amongst the teeming masses. The Texas legislator has been taken over by a radical Hispanic group and has just voted to secede Texas from the Union and join New Mexico , Arizona, and the southern half of California in becoming a part of the southwest that has been returned to the Nation of Altzan. Our federal officials in Congress are gutless and we have no Lincoln-type in the White House. My descendants curse me and question why I and their other ancestors let this happen to them. The tears will not stop flowing for what has been lost." When it comes to collateral damage from this invasion, a Fullerton, California reader wrote, "I wanted to give you my story of how Orange County has gone to hell with the massive illegal alien Mexican population. This week, I'm moving out of CA up to Washington State because it's better than living in fear after having been robbed three times in the past three months. I lived minutes away from Fullerton College in an apartment I paid for with an exceptional job I landed outside of high school working on the web. I lived in a decent neighborhood that in a year turned to hell. "A half dozen illegals moved into a one bedroom above me. Gang signs started appearing on street signs and I started getting watched coming home from work with a laptop over my shoulder driving a nice car. That car got stolen. "In our courts, 90 percent of the cases and people in court are illegals driving without licenses and without insurance. It's insane and they hit and run on Americans all the time. My heart cries for America." Americans bow their heads to collateral damage in every sector of our country: Collateral damage includes our schools suffering horrific overcrowding, violence, language chaos and failure rates unimagined 15 years ago. Collateral damage includes our national language suffers from Bill Clinton's executive order # 13166 forcing taxpayers to pay for documents to be given in immigrants' languages at a cost of billions to our citizens annually. Collateral damage from Clinton's bill means illegal and even legal immigrants may never assimilate. Collateral damage means our working poor stand in unemployment lines while illegals work their jobs at slave wages-and, off the books--so no taxes are collected. Thus, the rest of us pay for illegals' kids in our schools while they use free lunch programs and medical care. Collateral damage includes thousands of hit and run accidents that Americans pay for daily in death and carnage on our highways. For example, in Greeley, Colorado last year, 270 hit and run accidents were reported in a town with less than 100,000 people. Three Coloradans suffered death by illegal aliens last year. How many in your state? Collateral damage includes 16,000 new cases of tuberculosis injected into America in the bodies of unscreened illegal aliens in the past five years. Another 7,000 cases of leprosy-carrying illegals crossed into America in the past three years. Tens of thousands of cases of hepatitis, Chagas and other diseases arrived in the bodies of illegal aliens. We and our children are at risk. Collateral damage includes over 500,000 illegal aliens in our state and federal prisons costing us $1.6 billion annually. What horrible crimes did they commit on our citizens to warrant felony convictions? Over 11,000 MS-13 gang members currently operate in the USA as they distribute $128 billion annually in drugs and commit horrific crimes. Collateral damage in

What are the ten most ridiculous legislative changes in Arizona in the past two years? For the past 18 months, Arizona's economy has taken a nose dive, jobs have been lost, and schools have been starved of funding. Have the Republicans who control the state Legislature fixed these problems? No. But they have kept themselves busy! Are these the ten most ridiculous legislative changes passed within the last two years in Arizona? 1. Invoked the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to protect (wait for it) ... light bulbs ... from federal energy requirements. (But only the bulbs made in Arizona, of course.) 2. Eliminated the requirement for training and a permit to carry a concealed weapon. (Driver's license tests are still around, in case anyone is concerned about public safety) 3. Passed legislation banning human-animal hybrids in Arizona. (Our state is now safe from mermaids and centaurs.) 4. Voted to deny more than 47,000 children access to KidsCare health insurance. (They're kids, they're young, they're plenty healthy, right?) 5. Allowed guns in bars. (Bar owners, for some strange reason, did not support this legislation) 6. Increased property taxes and asked voters to tax themselves, but refused to close tax loopholes for the rich. Their country club memberships, spa treatments and pet grooming are exempt from the sales tax. Middle-class folks buying clothes and school supplies, however, are subject to the tax. (Darling, we already tip the help ... isn't that enough for you people?) 7. Made it a crime for teachers to talk to students of color about their own history and heritage. (There's only one version of history -- duh!) 8. Based environmental policies on the belief that the Earth is only 6,000 years old, as cited by a state senator. (The Hohokam people apparently migrated to Arizona on the backs of dinosaurs.) 9. Cut off services to 36,500 seriously mentally ill patients, allowing those individuals to wander Arizona's communities homeless, untreated and unmedicated. (Shhh, just let the Democrats worry about this one.) 10. Jumped on the "birther" bandwagon, pushing legislation that would require presidential candidates to show proof of U.S. citizenship to be on the Arizona ballot. (Hey, don't call it a fringe movement -- we don't want to offend the Tea Party now do we?)

10 points if you answer this question!!!! Can the student body of my school get in trouble? Well, I am a sophomore at a school in KY. Just recently our principal has really cracked down on us. He has told us that if we use a hall pass during class then the teacher has to use a "write up" (which is a discipline referral) then we get suspended, if we talk back we get suspended, we cannot use the bathroom or we get suspended, and we only have 4 minutes in between classes, and if we get a tardy we get suspended So far 4 people have gotten suspended, and more are on the verge and 25 have had in school detention, and one girl had an accident in class because she could not go to the bathroom. I have told all of this, to say this. On Monday December 14, 2009 our student body is planning a sit-in we are going to sit-in the gym and not go to class, because the principal refuses to talk to anyone, and a parent wrote our local news station that come to the school and talked to the principal and he LIED on television. Our school has around 500 kids in the whole high school, and we plan on having anywhere from 50-250 attend the sit-in. Can we get in trouble for this? Or are we just protecting our rights to go to the bathroom? And also the first amendment of the U.S Constitution says we have the right to assemble. Can we get into trouble??

Instead of pointing your fingers at each other for all of humanities down falls...? why not just point your finger at me... at least then you will surely be pointing at someone of actual guilt. i clearly haven't done enough to get people to love and respect each other, never mind how much time i have wasted supporting anarchists, liberals, libertarians, independents and conservatives on many different issues at various points in time... i will accept all the blame for our ignorance, lies, greed, corruption, poverty and pain.. i have squandered lots of money on selfish and ultimately meaningless things. I have stayed quiet when i should have spoke. I let others think for me when i should have thought for myself. I have supported things out of willful ignorance expecting to be considered innocent by all rational people. I have lied to people in disgusting ways. I have hated and had once believed that fear is the best tool for the preservation of order. I was weak in the eye of truth. I have willingly let others in this country take the tab on my own shortcomings. I am the one who should be attacked! Will you just stop fighting over this stupid political crap, stop blaming republicans or democrats and practically educate and free each other from the ridiculous complications that this terrible political, corporate and monetary system perpetuates not for a less bias or objective view point, not for any value of truth, justice and integrity.. not for a better world for our children but to generate just enough apathy to distract people from building a world where we do not value money over humanity, we do not hate what don't understand.. we do not consciously see our own guilt but deny it in the face of our fellow men and women. A world where humans are humane, civilized and empathetic to ALL THINGS THAT LIVE!!!! I realize now that the world is in this bizarre illusion where everyone thinks they are "the good guy" and how we all rarely hold ourselves accountable... we all need someone to blame.. and we have been conditioned to think this way and consistently externalize responsibility. 3000 children (yes just the children) die of starvation within each hour that passes.. have you ever went two day without food? But if you consider yourself innocent, i do envy you... i have supported a system and an economy of unimaginable wealth for so long without a word about my own corruption and for what... to see these kids starve to death when all of the middle class and up would have to give up sooooo little as to elevate the minimum standard of living and give these people THE MEANS of educating and supporting themselves. This is NOT ABOUT SOCIALISM!! I BELIEVE IN CAPITALISM & THE U.S CONSTITUTION!! This is about dirty politics, a dirty perception of money and a dirty perception of ourselves and each other. The current role of money and politics in our society just gets in the way of our humane understanding of reality and our place in it.. stop it!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO POINT YOUR FINGER AT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF OR ME!!! Take your pick.. i assure you im guilty so if you wholeheartedly believe you yourself are an innocent human and child of nature then encourage everyone you know to BLAME ME!!!!!!!!! Truth is treason in the empire of lies - Ron Paul my point is exactly what i said... thats why i chose the words.. lol... im guessing you didnt notice what you did there

Do you support the First Amendment? Are you a supporter of the First Amendment of the U.S. constitution? Do you also believe that they have a right to build the Mosque near ground zero, and do you support their right to do so? Do you support the freedom of religion in America? Very well. Do you ALSO support the idea of prayer in schools? What about the ten commandments being posted in a public building, are you okay with that as well? If not, why the double standard? How can you be for the freedom of religion when it comes to the building of the Mosque near ground zero, but also be opposed to allowing school kids to pray? Explain. Anonnie Mouse- are you calling me a Liar? When precisely did I say or write that kids are not allowed to pray in school? Pray tell me (pun absolutely intended!). Like many others, you did well with dodging the question. I asked if you SUPPORT kids being able to pray. Please do not distort my arguments, thanks. Also, precisely HOW did I distort these facts of which you speak? I am all ears. Pedobear- Again, please pay attention- I never once said that there are laws against school kid praying. I am actually becoming a teacher, so I know that. What is illicit is if a teacher LEADS a prayer. Please do not distort my arguments. Once again, you failed to answer the question. I asked if you SUPPORT prayer in schools. I never asked about the legality of it. Please do not insult my intellect- of course I know the difference between public and private property. Some states have eminent domain laws in case you aren't aware, and there is no such thing as "private property," although there is "personal property."

Are immigrants from Spanish-Speaking countries any less capable of true patriotism to the U.S. than those from ... from nations whose first language is, say, Bengali? Before you answer, I implore you to please read James (Gino) Reza's "Asleep at The Wheel", Richard Sepulveda's "No Hablo Espanol: But I'm still Latino, Dammit", www.dontspeakforme.org (United States Colonel Al Rodriguez, Retired) and see the contributions of real Americans (with every point of pride deserved to their ancestry, with origins in Spanish-Speaking nations...). This immigration debate is absolutely CORRECT in its determination to see English (the Constitution, Magna Carta) as the primary language of the U.S., ...Just as it is spot on in demanding that those who built our schools and insisted their kids compete with (and defeat) the world's best... in every field of academic endeavor; that they laid the groundwork for plateau's and elevations we'd never have reached without them. See? In the end, we have the same direction... all of us who realize no one is above the law. ... ... ;... Peter G: It may seem unlikely but many, MANY do. Unfortunately (for those with the real guts to best the half of those of us born here), given the influx of "poor-li'l-me's", ...our Heroic Americans of Hispanic descent stand a hundred to one against the BEST of that sort whom they fled their homes to simply be distinguished from. Daniel F: I respect your loyalty and service. You likely know that by now. And I appreciate more than anything the fact that we can speak our minds, freely. But I draw the line at permitting myself to divide my allegiance between the U.S. and either the British, Irish or other governments. Not even to my Cherokee Tribal council (not above my loyalties to the U.S.). The freedoms we had (and, I hope will revive), would still be a dream had it not been for the furious determination of those who fought off the Crown and put into place a Constitution that bests even the Magna Carta and forethought. With both documents, NO human is above the law.

Do you support Rand Paul's position on ending birthright citizenship to kids born in the US to illegal aliens? Paul opposes citizenship for babies of illegals By ROGER ALFORD (AP) FRANKFORT, Ky. — U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul is stirring it up again, this time by saying he opposes citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are illegal immigrants. Paul, who a week ago won the GOP primary, told a Russian TV station in a clip circulating on political Web sites Friday that he wants to block citizenship to those children. "We're the only country I know that allows people to come in illegally, have a baby, and then that baby becomes a citizen," Paul told RT, an English-language station, shortly after his win over GOP establishment candidate Trey Grayson. "And I think that should stop also." Legislation dubbed the Birthright Citizenship Act was introduced in the House last year seeking to prevent citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants even though the 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees citizenship to everyone born in the U.S. More than 90 lawmakers signed on as co-sponsors. Paul told the TV station that partisan politics may be at play in not stopping illegal immigration. "I'm not opposed to letting people come in and work and labor in our country," Paul said. "But I think what we should do is we shouldn't provide an easy route to citizenship. A lot of this is about demographics. If you look at new immigrants from Mexico, they register three to one Democrat, so the Democratic Party is for easy citizenship and allowing them to vote. I think we need to address that." Immigration advocates criticized Paul's stand on Friday as immoral. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gQVREKmjiAG7r_74Bs--OoD5dyugD9G03GI00

Why your stupid country keep being racist, inmoral and injustice against migrants ? Split the families, send to jail innocent worker people, denied education and a better future to KIDS with migrant parents, racism, discrimination, even murder people that just go there for try to grow up in life and have a better future for their families. 300 years ago a bunch of withe people came to "America" cause in their land were no opportunities and they weren't free, so they came, kill all the people living in "America" took their land and call it "destiny"... so now that other people want to go to "America" peacefully, those withe assholes build up walls and make unconstitutional laws against them... and this country call itself "a nation under god with liberty and justice for all"???????? I don't care how man times this question is going to be deleted, is better for me because you are proving that you DON'T keep the first commandment of your constitution: THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH ! PS: And yes CHINA ROCKS ! and U.S debt 3.5 TRILLION DOLLARS to CHINA ! most of those blonds empty brain heads are ignorants and even doesn't know how their government works ! the "minute mans" are a bunch of redneck grandpas with rifles... and if you call "illegal" cross a border for try to feed your family, them you have a problem, there is A LOT of LAWS is your country but there no JUSTICE... thats why you're going down, your economy is going worst and the dollar is not the 2 biggest coin in the world anymore. even INDIA is doing better !!

Why are uneducated ppl still claiming that Black men are given preference over White women? Since the Obama candidacy and subsequent election, rhetoric of misogynistic or racist preferential treatment of Black men over White women has gone ^. This is a falsehood spread by embittered people who are upset that because Obama is the president-elect, their dreams of McCain winning, then subsequently becoming incapacitated thereby making Sarah Palin the first woman Prez, did not occur. There are too many misinformed people out here. Even comedian Carlos Mencia used the line that a Black man should be first as potus because "Black men were allowed to vote before White women". Now that the voters have decided, I'd say that this poison is being further spread early in preparation for Palin 2012. Google "Voting Rights Act of 1965" to help you learn the truth. http://www.fairvote.org/vra/vra.htm http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/voting/intro/intro_b.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act http://www.votingrightsact.org/ "The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is a significant piece of legislation that guarantees the right to vote to African American citizens. This legislative act prevented states (mainly southern) from enforcing discriminatory tactics aimed at preventing African Americans fair opportunities to participate in the voting process. As a result of the Act, the national government intervened in areas where African Americans were denied the right to vote." 'There is a myth that Black men were given voting rights along with other privileges before White women. This is only half true. African-American groups were aligned with women's suffrage organizatiions during that era. Black men were given voting rights under the 15th Amendment (1870) but still encountered racial intimidation, poll taxes, and literacy tests. Blacks did not fully realize these rights until ninety-five years later in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted White women's voting rights in 1920.' Don't be fooled by your perception that Black men or Blacks have it so damn good in America. In a study of U.S. born California workers, "Hispanic and black workers earn lower wages. In recent years, Hispanic workers earned less than 60 cents for every dollar earned by white workers (among full-time workers). Among U.S.-born workers, Hispanic men earned 81 cents, and black men earned 74 cents, per dollar earned by white men. U.S.-born Hispanic women earned 79 cents, and black women earned 86 cents, per dollar earned by white women. U.S.-born Asians tend to earn higher wages than whites; relative wages were $1.04 for men and $1.15 for women." The perception that Blacks have it so good is partly based on "antonymous limitation": " You will notice in America, the most diverse nation in the world, that in issues of race: the public generally tends to focus on Black and White. Why is that? There are multiple reasons for this. I call this antonymous limitation or narrow-sighted dipolarism interchangeably. "Antonymous" is to say that an issue is handled solely on the basis of pairing opposites or extremes. If you were to say: "I don't care if you're fat or skinny, tall or short, boy or girl, conservative or liberal...", such phraseology is antonymous. Antonymous limitation is the reason why a White kid may be teased for being a hip-hop junkie, but not for being a Sinophile." "The status quo of White establishment is the yardstick for measuring enfranchisement of nonwhite minorities. Likewise, achievements of racial progress are oftentimes measured by Black American firsts. This sounds good in theory but misleading in practice because it may ignore peoples who are neither Black nor White. All peoples have successes and sorrows but American White status quo is the model." I inadvertently posted this ? 2x somehow but won't delete it because someone might be attempting to answer. I inadvertently posted this ? 2x somehow but won't delete it because someone might be attempting to answer. @ elmer_fu..., while i disagree with much of your sentiment, i applaud you for at least having the intellectual courage to answer the ?. I think Obama won the primary fair & square. While there was a sexist bias in the MSM, I do not attribute that to Obama; it was not his fault even if he benefitted from it. Good luck w/ the Palin 2012 bid. Perhaps she will be vetted by then. I think America could use a woman's touch in the White House. Not Palin but a qualified woman. I think La. Gov. Bobby Jindal will be on the ticket in 2012. @ Ronnie S, thank you for your input and courage as well. I've seen that overt sexism exists. I am an egalitarian and am very sensitive to female issues. I have imagined myself on both sides of the debate for a better understanding. The fact is that Black men don't necessarily have it as good as everyone is professing. While the US president will be Black or nonwhite, there will still be Black men denied jobs or such that go instead to White women because the HR person prefers someone who looks like his/her mother/sister/spouse/daughter over a Black man or woman. Racism and sexism levels are amber right now but will improve with time. thanx

Not that it's any of my biz but who r u voting for? Anyone voting for Chuck Baldwin? ? I voted for Chuck Baldwin since he is Pro-Constitution and against the NWO, NAFTA, NAU, AMERO, FED, and CFR, and wants to straighten out all the horrors that Bush created, such as the war in Iraq, getting the funds back to the National Parks, repairing the bridges, roads and schools, and rebuilding THIS country rather than everyone else's countries. He's a write in in all states if he is not on the ballot. If you are sick and tired of voting for worse or worser then vote for Chuck Baldwin. My kid voted for Barack Obama who would be my second choice if I had two votes. I believe that Obama is on the right track but it worries me that he is in the back pockets of the corporations and the Machine in Chicago. BUt, putting that aside, I believe that he has some good economic advisers and he knows enough good people that if he were to get into trouble he would be able to work his way out of any situation because he has a very GOOD MIND and he knows the right people to listen to. And THAT is what counts ... it's not WHAT you know as much as it's WHO you know. So Obama is the best of the two in my book. McCain on the other hand is too out of touch, thinks our economy is doing GREAT, and is a puppet of the same people who pull Bush's strings. For those who want another 8 years of misery and rising inflation and excessive debt, McCain is YOUR man. I even found this link from some very conservative war veterans who tell the truth of what REALLY happened in Vietnam and WHY McCain HAD to stay there even when his captors were so appreciative of all that he did for them that they wanted to let him go. It will open your eyes: http://www.pensitoreview.com/2008/02/17/in-1992-pows-accused-mccain-of-collaborating-with-vietnamese/ And for those of you who are looking for an excuse NOT to vote for either OBama OR McCain here is a good reason since they are BOTH members of the same CLUB ... the CFR ... aka the Shadow Govt of the USA that runs everything from behind the scenes and discourages freedom or equality ... watch this video and become awakened to the realities: http://www.gnn.tv/threads/27763/ I should mention at this point that Chuck Baldwin is the ONLY candidate running who is NOT a member of the CFR and REFUSES to join. BOTH McCain and Obama ARE members, as is Bush, the Clintons, the Rockefellers, and most of the ruling families, so you know where those two will be coming from ... they will be somewhat identical but I still believe that Obama will not be as easily controlled by the CFR. IT is obvious that McCain is already their puppet. The MOST IMPORTANT THING is to vote ... no matter who you are voting for. VOTE VOTE VOTE! Also, I voted no on H8 and so did my kid. That's the discrimination against gays and marriage proposition in California. No on H8 will guarantee that gay people will be able to visit their loved ones in the hospital, which is currently banned by gay unions, and it will allow them inheritance rights. That is really the ONLY reason they want this proposition to be defeated so why would you want to deprive them of those two basic rights that you would expect EVERYONE to have? Be fair, be compassionate, vote No on H8! Your kids are born gay or straight and NOTHING will change that so ignore the hate-fo-mercials on TV they are ridiculous and ignore Mayor Newsome of SF, I'm sure he totally regrets saying that one line ... you're not stuck with anything ... just be fair to gay people. They have been picked on enough by the religious right. Jesus didn't care so why should you. Plus, gay marriage only affects YOU if you marry a gay, and that's not gonna happen, right? :-) (no offense to those who are gay) Vote!

Alright conservatives, explain to me how the Arizona law doesn't violate Article 1 of the Constitution? OK, it might stand on 4th Amendment, 6th Amendment, and 14th Amendment Challenges (Maybe). But this is specifically the state enforcing a power given to Congress in Article 1. Now: The main case on this issue is Crosby v. National Foreign Trade Council. A 9-0 majority opinion written by Souter (with Rhenquist and Scalia agreeing). Here's some quotations to make it easier for you all: " A fundamental principle of the Constitution is that Congress has the power to preempt state law. Art. VI, cl. 2; Gibbons v. Ogden, 9 Wheat. 1, 211 (1824); Savage v. Jones, 225 U. S. 501, 533 (1912); California v. ARC America Corp., 490 U. S. 93, 101 (1989). Even without an express provision for preemption, we have found that state law must yield to a congressional Act in at least two circumstances. When Congress intends federal law to "occupy the field," state law in that area is preempte" "The conflicts are not rendered irrelevant by the State's argument that there is no real conflict between the statutes because they share the same goals and because some companies may comply with both sets of restrictions. See Brief for Petitioners 21-22. The fact of a common end hardly neutralizes conflicting means" "Again, the state Act undermines the President's capacity, in this instance for effective diplomacy. It is not merely that the differences between the state and federal Acts in scope and type of sanctions threaten to complicate discussions; they compromise the very capacity of the President to speak for the Nation with one voice in dealing with other governments" "The State would have us conclude that Congress's continuing failure to enact express preemption implies approval, particularly in light of occasional instances of express preemption of state sanctions in the past. The argument is unconvincing on more than one level" So, there's your challenge. Supreme Court at the height of its state power movement, affirmed that Congress has the power over things in Article 1: including naturalization, foreign affairs, etc. Arizona's law is doomed, and anyone that doesn't see this is kidding themselves. I specifically like the quotation from the opinion that even if the federal and state law have the same goals, they can still conflict. So there's the gauntlet: Explain to me how Arizona's law is going to stand? OK, sock monkey, the Supreme Court decision I cited at length, specifically dealt with that. The Feds can do it. The states cannot. Does that answer why federal law can stand and state law won't? I hope so, cause I can't dumb it down any more for you. Oh, on the issue of it just being exactly like federal law: http://www.factcheck.org/2010/06/arizonas-papers-please-law/ DNA Fairy. They dealt with that specifically. It doesn't matter if an actual law exists for them to preempt, if it interferes with the Federal gov'ts job to do Article 1 express issues. State's can't do it. Sorry. Sock Monkey: Nope. Congress has the right to choose the path. They don't have to secure the borders, they can choose to. States do not have the choice at all. That's the case. That's what it says. At least one Conservative is honest that you all don't care about the Constitution: " I regard the constitution as a dead letter." No judge is bound by case law. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...ok. Whatever you've convinced yourself of. wow....just some failed answers here. Just really poor ya'll. Just one last jab: 1. factcheck.com is the Soros funded blog. 2. factcheck.org is a non-partisan and not Soros funded independent organization that is held in high esteem, even being cited by Republicans. So...yeah. Get the right website to criticize.

Christians - politically speaking, have you ever thought of having your own separate politically party? In other words there's been politicians in the major political parties including the republicans who have given you false hope for years and years of how much they uphold your Christian values but when it comes to delivering on the Christian values they claim to have - the politicians including the republicans never deliver on their promises to the Christians instead many of them reward their wealthy contributors to their election campaigns. I mention this because like myself others feel the only reason to excuse or justify abortion is to save the life of mother if her life was physically and medically in danger of dying from giving birth. I also mention this because like myself - others feel teachings of evolution is being crammed down the minds of children in public schools by teachers that Christians pay taxes for. Case in point - the republicans for example claim to have Christian values more than others, yet when they held the majority vote from early 1995 to early 2009 - instead of creating and passing an amendment to do away with abortion the republican politicians and... also while teachings of evolution has been being crammed down the minds and throats of Christian kids in public schools that Christians pay for with their tax dollars - instead of doing something for the Christians about those things were busy NOT allowing wall street derivatives to be regulated which resulted in being a financial disaster that ended up in greatly hurting the economy of the U.S. which the U.S. got bailout money to pay for to repair and yet - the republicans want those failed business practices to still be practiced on wall street while the republicans who claim to have Christian family values ignore the Christians' issues such as doing away with abortion and teachings of evolution being forced on Christian kids in schools. In case anyone mentione that SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) decides if abortion should be legal or not or evolution should be taught in schools that Christians pay tax dollars for - CHRISTIANS here's some facts - The Supreme Court is around to back up the laws - NOT make laws. Proof that the Supreme Court would have to honor an amendment outlawing abortion - At one time the Supreme court of the United States backed up the 18nth Amendment the Capitol created and passed which was the alcohol prohibition law - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution The Supreme Court had to back that law up as they are there to back up the law NOT make laws - whether they agreed with law or not. The only way that law was able to be changed was to pass another amendment (the 21st amendment) to do away with that law - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-first_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Again the Supreme Court had to back up that law too whether they liked it or not. My point is an amendment could stop abortion. In case anyone has doubts about what I'm saying besides looking at when politicians who claim to have better Christian values including the republicans holding the majority vote from early 1995 to early 2009 who failed to pass amendments for Christian values - Also look at these websites that actually do exist and have existed for quite a while - http://www.theatheistconservative.com/articles-of-reason/ http://www.theatheistconservative.com/review-god-delusion/ Here's one of the links that link to the site above - http://secularright.org/wordpress/?page_id=2 My point is how can Christians ever trust status quo politicians including republicans if they offer false hope for Christian values? Why should Christians trust lip service politicians including republicans who so far - for years and years have been making false promises to Christians, that they will never deliver on? Besides what I mentioned already, it seems a lot of Christians have forgotten the fact that they can hold politicians they elect accountable as in when politicians they elect including republicans fail to uphold Christian values they can not only not elect them again but petition for recall elections as well unless the politicians deliver on their promises. Furthermore some Christians wonder if people forget these verses such as these - Leviticus 19:10 - "And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God." Matthew 10:8 - "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." Proverbs 22:16 - "He who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth and he who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty." Before I forget to mention it - To those who truly oppose abortion and don't believe the psuedo (false) science called evolution, it can come down to will you have your vote count or not? - or - will Christians take their belief in God with them to the voting booths or not?

Help me revise my paper? At last! That is what I thought in my head I had been waiting all year for this trip. The teachers at my school had been planning it all year as well. They carefully planned their studies around the trip so the last thing we learned about was the history of the United States. It was a Monday afternoon and every one had their luggage. My dad and I step up in to the bus, I had my suitcase in one hand and my dad holding the other. My dad volunteered to be one of the chaperons. Everyone piled in to the bus I think there was five busses total, everyone in my grade went. Then four hours later we arrived at Washington D.C. We checked into the hotel and started looking over the maps we found in our room. Later that night there was a meeting in one of the convention rooms we discussed our itinerary and had dinner. My dad and I went back to our room and tried to rest up for the next day but I was so nervous I couldn’t sleep. The next day came and everyone piled on the bus there was at least thirty kids on the bus we were on. After boarding the bus and numbering off we started our journey. A little bit in to the trip I heard a boy behind me shout, “Look, there it is!” I looked up and sure enough there was the Capitol building everyone then started taking pictures the flash on the bus was blinding. After that every one on the bus kept their faces glued to the windows in till we arrived. With in twenty minutes we could see it all, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, The Smithsonian Museum, The White House and so much more. It was an impressive view. The first stop we made was at John F Kennedy’s gravesite at the Arlington National Cemetery where John F Kennedy and his wife are buried and where the eternal flame burns brightly. After the gravesite we took a train to our next destination. Once the train stopped we arrived at Union Station. Every one got out of the train and we headed towards the Tomb of the Unknowns. Fortunately, we were just in time to see the changing of the guard, which happens at the bottom of every hour every day of the year. After lunch we began a trip around the city’s many memorials. First we visited the White House. The White House has been a symbol of presidency for two hundred years. President George Washington was the president who declared there must be a place for the presidents of the United States to reside they started construction on the White House in 1792. After the White House we visited the Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, there are four outdoor galleries each representing one of FDR’s terms in office with information on the Great Depression and World War II. We then went and climbed the stairs were Martin Luther King once delivered his famous “I have a Dream Speech”. We then went to West Potomac Park were the Thomas Jefferson Memorial stands on the south shore of the Tidal Basin. The memorial featured a nineteen foot bronze statue of Jefferson. Jefferson was the third president of the United States and he promoted democracy, freedom of religion and the separation of church and state, he help to develop our country into what it is today. We then went to the Lincoln Memorial in West Potomac Park, it has a statue of Abraham Lincoln seated on an armchair. The Lincoln Memorial also has the text of the Gettysburg Address and the text of Lincoln's Second Inaugural speech. Both were engraved on a stone tablet. The last thing we did on our trip and my favorite part was go to the National Achieves and Records building, at the building they display the original copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The National Archives also had other valuable U.S. government records and historic maps, photographs, and manuscripts. I loved going to the National Achieve and Records building because I loved seeing the documents that helped make America.

What do you Christians think of this ? Bush Given Authority To Sexually Torture American Children The "horror of the shrieking boys" gets a rubber stamp from the boot-licking U.S. Congress & Senate as America officially becomes a dictatorship Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | September 29 2006 Slamming the final nail in the coffin of everything America used to stand for, the boot-licking U.S. Senate last night gave President Bush the legal authority to abduct and sexually mutilate American citizens and American children in the name of the war on terror. There is nothing in the "detainee" legislation that protects American citizens from being kidnapped by their own government and tortured. Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times, "The compromise legislation....authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights." Similarly, law Professor Marty Lederman explains: "this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to 'hostilities' at all." We have established that the bill allows the President to define American citizens as enemy combatants. Now let's take it one step further. Before this article is dismissed as another extremist hyperbolic rant, please take a few minutes out of your day to check for yourself the claim that Bush now has not only the legal authority but the active blessings of his own advisors to torture American children. The backdrop of the Bush administration's push to obliterate the Geneva Conventions was encapsulated b y John “torture” Yoo, professor of law at Berkeley, co-author of the PATRIOT Act, author of torture memos and White House advisor. During a December 1st debate in Chicago with Notre Dame professor and international human rights scholar Doug Cassel, John Yoo gave the green light for the scope of torture to legally include sexual torture of infants. Cassel: If the president deems that he's got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person's child, there is no law that can stop him? Yoo: No treaty. Cassel: Also no law by Congress — that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo… Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that. Click here for the audio. So if the President thinks he needs to order children's penises to be put in vices, there is no law that can stop him and after last night's vote, the Senate and Congress, exemplified by sicko 16-year-old boy groomer Mark Foley (R-FL) , has graciously provided Bush its full support for kids around the world to be molested in the name of stopping terror. Yoo's comments were made before the passage of the torture legislation last night. Up until that point Bush had merely cited his role as dictator-in-chief as carte-blanche excuse for ordering torture - now his regime have the audacity to openly put it in writing - going one step further than even the Nazis did. Again, for those who are still deluded into thinking the extent of the "pressure" is loud music and cold water being thrown over Johnny Jihad in Ragheadistan, consider for a moment the fact that your own Congress and President who, according to the Constitution, are mandated to serve you, have just legalized abducting your kids from your home and electric shocking their genitals. Now that the criminals have declared themselves outside of the law does that mean we'll see Bush barbecuing babies on the White House lawn? Of course not, but the policy of torturing children in front of their parents has already been signed off on by the Pentagon and enacted under the Copper Green program and it happened at Abu Ghraib . Women who were arrested with their children were forced to watch their boys being sodomized with chemical glow sticks as the cameras rolled.

Why has USA Congress done this ? Bush Given Authority To Sexually Torture American Children The "horror of the shrieking boys" gets a rubber stamp from the boot-licking U.S. Congress & Senate as America officially becomes a dictatorship Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | September 29 2006 Slamming the final nail in the coffin of everything America used to stand for, the boot-licking U.S. Senate last night gave President Bush the legal authority to abduct and sexually mutilate American citizens and American children in the name of the war on terror. There is nothing in the "detainee" legislation that protects American citizens from being kidnapped by their own government and tortured. Yale Law Professor Bruce Ackerman states in the L.A. Times, "The compromise legislation....authorizes the president to seize American citizens as enemy combatants, even if they have never left the United States. And once thrown into military prison, they cannot expect a trial by their peers or any other of the normal protections of the Bill of Rights." Similarly, law Professor Marty Lederman explains: "this [subsection (ii) of the definition of 'unlawful enemy combatant'] means that if the Pentagon says you're an unlawful enemy combatant -- using whatever criteria they wish -- then as far as Congress, and U.S. law, is concerned, you are one, whether or not you have had any connection to 'hostilities' at all." We have established that the bill allows the President to define American citizens as enemy combatants. Now let's take it one step further. Before this article is dismissed as another extremist hyperbolic rant, please take a few minutes out of your day to check for yourself the claim that Bush now has not only the legal authority but the active blessings of his own advisors to torture American children. The backdrop of the Bush administration's push to obliterate the Geneva Conventions was encapsulated b y John “torture” Yoo, professor of law at Berkeley, co-author of the PATRIOT Act, author of torture memos and White House advisor. During a December 1st debate in Chicago with Notre Dame professor and international human rights scholar Doug Cassel, John Yoo gave the green light for the scope of torture to legally include sexual torture of infants. Cassel: If the president deems that he's got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person's child, there is no law that can stop him? Yoo: No treaty. Cassel: Also no law by Congress — that is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo… Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that. Click here for the audio. So if the President thinks he needs to order children's penises to be put in vices, there is no law that can stop him and after last night's vote, the Senate and Congress, exemplified by sicko 16-year-old boy groomer Mark Foley (R-FL) , has graciously provided Bush its full support for kids around the world to be molested in the name of stopping terror. Yoo's comments were made before the passage of the torture legislation last night. Up until that point Bush had merely cited his role as dictator-in-chief as carte-blanche excuse for ordering torture - now his regime have the audacity to openly put it in writing - going one step further than even the Nazis did. Again, for those who are still deluded into thinking the extent of the "pressure" is loud music and cold water being thrown over Johnny Jihad in Ragheadistan, consider for a moment the fact that your own Congress and President who, according to the Constitution, are mandated to serve you, have just legalized abducting your kids from your home and electric shocking their genitals. Now that the criminals have declared themselves outside of the law does that mean we'll see Bush barbecuing babies on the White House lawn? Of course not, but the policy of torturing children in front of their parents has already been signed off on by the Pentagon and enacted under the Copper Green program and it happened at Abu Ghraib . Women who were arrested with their children were forced to watch their boys being sodomized with chemical glow sticks as the cameras rolled.

What can I do to stop M.E.Ch.A at my college ?? A Latino-Hispanic youth group at my college, M.E.Ch.A, is on a propaganda campaign telling Asians, Blacks, and other students that ICE is a racist law enforcement group that's attacking Hispanics, now, and will go after Asians, Blacks, and other non-whites if they're not stopped. They're using scare tactics to intimidate other students to sympathize and support illegal aliens. I'm not Hispanic, but most people mistake me for being Mexican. I looked over all their broshures and propaganda material, and asked where'd you get the $$ to fund all this. Seems businesses who employ illegals in California are contributing heavily into this student hate group. Even if they're a non-profit org, aren't they liable for slander? Is there an anti-immigration group, or org, in or near Walnut, California (20 miles east of Los Angeles) who can sue these kids for slander? These guys are abusing the US Constitution's Freedom of Speech, & needs to learn that spreading lies can get U sued for slander Went to M.E.Ch.A's website, and it seems this student hate group is nationwide, and is probably the source of letter-writing campaigns to tell elected officials to ignore people's complaints on illegals in USA. They do have handouts explaining the importance of writing to senators and congressmen. I realized that these kids R the children and grandchildren of illegals. It seems people who were born here, but their parents (or grandparents) entered illegally, are now grown up, & R registered voters ‼ With the size of the US-born Hispanic population, its likely they're registered voters. Any candidate saying he (or she) will crack down on illegals will feel the consequence of these words come election day. Slew ►I attended one of their meetings @ Mt.San Antonio College. After listening to their hate-rhetorics of how white-supremacist groups like the KKK & American Nazi are supposedly behind all the anti-immigration campaign to convince the US government to crack down on illegals, I realize these kids are the grandchildren and children of illegals. They're turning the illegal alien issue into a race issue ‼ They show picts of KKK & white-Aryan-Nazi rallies, and compare these to anti-immigrant rallies. They claim the only difference is the white-sheet costumes & swastikas are not worn, but anti-immigrant protesters are comprised of white-supremacist ‼ They're getting Asians, Blacks, & others to listen; & judging from the number of nodding heads, I fear they're winning supporters. M.E.Ch.A is on a campaign to convert people who R neutral on the immigration issue to become supporters & sympathizers of illegal aliens ‼ Somebody has got to sue this group for slander & defamation to stop them

Why can't the USA....? Change their Constitution? OK for the obvious reason that it IS the "Constitution" but I am saying this with reference to the Xmas shooting by the man dressed in the Santa suit. He shot a house full of partygoers because he was bitter of a divorce. He could quite easily go and buy a gun and ammo (like anyone can in the USA) and then go and shoot whomever he liked before selfishly killing himself. I am so sick of hearing about shootings and killings. (E.g Columbine, Virginia Tech + the coutnless other horrible cases that are similar and all involve guns) mostly from America, when it can easily be prevented by not allowing easy access to guns. In fact, you should have to go through the strict licensing that most countries have in order to get it. Here are some statistics to back me up: After the massacre of 16 schoolchildren in Dunblane, Scotland, the United Kingdom restricted access to guns. In the U.K. all gun owners must be licensed and all guns must be registered. Handguns are prohibited for civilians. The law makes no exceptions. Overall, four percent of households keep firearms. There are only 0.4 intentional gun deaths per 100,000 people. In Japan, where the laws are similar, the numbers are even lower. Firearms are present in only 0.6% of homes in Japan and the intentional gun death rate is 0.07% per 100,000 people. In Canada, where guns laws are somewhat looser, some hand guns are available, but assault weapons are banned, 26% of homes have guns present. Almost four people per 100,000 are killed in intentional gun violence each year. Switzerland requires registration of guns and licensing of gun owners, but places no restriction on the types of guns owned. Gun deaths are 6.2 per 100,000 people and 27.2% of homes have weapons Are you ready for the USA? The powerful National Rifle Association has lobbied hard against any restriction on the ownership of any gun, including handguns and semi and fully automatic weapons. The NRA and the pro-gun lobby maintain that restricting access to handguns and doing away with concealed weapons do not have a positive effect on gun deaths. Because of the continuing efforts of the NRA, the U.S. has some of the most liberal gun laws in the world. It is easier to purchase a gun in the United States than in any other industrialized nation. If lenient gun laws actually reduce gun violence as the NRA claims, the U.S. should have the lowest rate of gun violence. The American Medical Association reports that between 36% and 50% of male eleventh graders believe that they could easily get a gun if they wanted one. And lastly: Every day, more than 80 Americans die from gun violence. (Coalition to Stop Gun Violence) The rate of firearm deaths among kids under age 15 is almost 12 times higher in the United States than in 25 other industrialized countries combined. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) American kids are 16 times more likely to be murdered with a gun, 11 times more likely to commit suicide with a gun, and nine times more likely to die from a firearm accident than children in 25 other industrialized countries combined. (Centers for Disease Control) I understand the American Constitution is the root of American Society but back when it was signed, people didnt use guns in the sense we do today. The way we use guns has changed dramatically and now its out of control. Surely a law could be made which prohibits easy access to guns/gun ammunition!! Does anyone agree with me? Gun violence should have stopped so long ago but it seems to just be getting worse.

This is connected to my previous question.? In the Mideast and other countries if a woman gets raped and she was wearing tight jeans then its her fault and she is punished. Illiteracy rates are in the double digits and GDP per capita is really low. I've learned that many Americans are opposed to imperialism because its "evil" "its not right to impose our will on others" "its not right to reap benefits from war" but isn't it a greater good to make Iraq and afghanistan colonies or colony like. I don't think the world hate the U.S but only the countries that hate the U.S are the ones that have been invaded by the U.S or a poor and corrupt and use bad will against the U.S to maintain power by claiming they will oppose western dominance. If America took complete control of Iraq and enforced a constitution much like what you have and built public schools all over Iraq then at first Iraqis would and the rest of Mideast would hate the U.S but I know for sure 30+years later with the new generation or generation after America would have much better relations. If done right American dominance can be a force for great good world wide. BTW I'm African and have the perspective of a foreigner. There is nothing I would want more than American and European businesses opening up shop all over Africa but not missionaries they can stay home. That would help with your immigration problem since Africans would stay in Africa. Imperialism can be good just think about it. In alot of countries all over the world young girls are taken to be sex slaves. Their married off at young ages to men old enough to be their grandfathers. Homosexuals are judged and charged under archaic laws. These are a few issues and they may never go away. But if more gov'ts were democratically elected by an educated group of people(men and women) rather than the rich and powerful few like in so many countries that make the poor poorer or in a difficult position to advance. In my country young kids are sold for less the $50 to work instead of being sent to school and local village leaders allow this because its either customary or they profit somehow. This would never happen in a country where freedom is guaranteed, enforced and protected by the gov't.

What did you learn when you watched Glenn Beck last friday ? I feel like I'm becoming my grandfather: You kids today! You just don't get it. We used to sleep on razor-wire beds and eat nails for breakfast. And we liked it! Maybe I'm getting old and grumpy, but kids are stupid. I mean, we've all been there. Come on, think of yourself when you were eighteen. You would have joined the Save Tibet club if you knew it would help score chicks. You didn't care. You just went along with the group. Lenin had a phrase for people like these: useful idiots. One of those idiots seems to be Meghan McCain. She's John McCain's like, totally awesome, like, daughter. And she was, like, so waxing poets about ideas or idealogians or U.S. Americans or something, on "The View." It was wicked awesome. Here she is talking about the Tea Party movement: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) MEGHAN MCCAIN: It's innate racism. And I think it's why young people are turned off by this movement. And I'm sorry revolutions start with young people… not with 65-year-old people talking about literacy tests and people who can't say the word vote in English. (END VIDEO CLIP) What do those stupid 65-year-olds know, anyway? Megan is kind of right: Revolutions do usually start with the young, but only because they are targeted and used by older radicals. It's not just Meghan McCain. There is a pattern with progressives and the youth of America.

It was always up to me and my brother explaining what was going on to my parents. (END VIDEO CLIPS) That should frighten every parent in America. Why in this video from BarackObama.com, do the children have to explain things to the adults? Well, because parents just don't get it. It's not enough for the kids to disagree on something and discuss it — oh no. Mom and dad are stupid. They believe in that crazy Constitution and stuff. They're so old school. But you — in all your 10th grade wisdom — you get it. And the president says you must educate your dopey parents: (BEGIN VIDEO CLIPS) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Lots of my friends' parents probably aren't going to vote because they are all really busy. So my friends and I all work really hard to get them to vote and register. So when my cousins and I have to talk to them about why we as the future generations really need Obama as the president. We start out easily and just start saying, oh, watch the debate. And then we'll say, well, we really think that what Obama or Biden said about energy is really important because we need to start fixing that now before it will be too late. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's more of like sitting down and having this, it almost feels like a parent-child conversation, except I'm the parent and they are the child. (END VIDEO CLIPS) It's a parent-child relationship, except the parent is the child and the child is the parent. This is incredible. The message the president sends to families should be one of healing, building the family up; one where the child honors the mother and father. Instead, we have the president of the United States encouraging children to have a sit-down with their stupid parents and teach them a thing or two about the world. And elect Barack Obama. Is it just me? Am I the only one that thinks turning our kids against their parents to get elected is evil? Oh, I can hear the liberal bloggers now: Oh, Glenn. This site has his name, but the president is busy. Robert Gibbs said he has nothing to do with it. Uh-huh.

These are our children. They are being used. We are already crippling them by not teaching them the realities of life as they grow up. Instead, everyone gets a trophy. It doesn't matter

Rate my writing~! PLZ ANSWER? OKAY IM 13 YEARS OLD WAT DO U THINK! THIS IS A SECTION OF A BOOK IM WORKING ON: “Take one down pass it around 45 bottles of pop on the wall” her mother sang as she walked though the door. “Hey mom” I stressed I felt like their was a party in my stomach and everything was dancing. “ What’s wrong Ally?” my mother asked. She had cookie dough all over her face. “Ms. Look at me all day, that’s who?” I said feeling grief put all over me. Everything around me was spinning I felt kind of stupid walking in the door like I got an F on a paper, but how was I supposed to feel, like I just made a best friend well I could but I didn’t want to. “What did Ms. Anna do this time?” my mother said, I felt bad knowing that almost every time I came home from school sad my mom would automatically think Anna. “ Well..” I took a breath “ she pushed me into the locker and was bugging me which made me late for class then when I went to the library just to ya no get the stress away I missed the bus for the field trip” I said, even through the missing the bus thins was my fault. “Ally????” my mother said, she sounded annoyed and unprepared. “ You have to learn to stick up for your self” she paused “ okay, when I was a kid I had the same problem.” “You did?” I asked feeling shocked that my mom and me shared the same thing. “ Her name was Rebecca Lenard, and boy was she mean, you had to have the right cloths, the great grades, the awesome phone, lets just say everything had to be big, bold and expensive!” she smiled at me and went on, “ any ways, she never liked me cause I was friends with her friends and she hated me, you wana know how I got ride of her?” she asked “ You threw her out the bus window and watched her get crushed by a truck while you laughed hysterically” I said laughing myself. My mom chuckled “ No! I went up to her looked her straight in the eyes and said stop!” she said and went back to the cookies “ That’s it, just stop” I said puzzled She nodded, “ never be more than you can’t, don’t be like Anna the one that said she’s gona drop dead gorgeous, honey she’s gona drop dead ugly with the attitude she has!” I smiled feeling a little strange cause the truth of the matter is me and my mom never had that much in common, really nothing at all, but the way she told me that I felt closer to her cause she knew how to handle it and how it feels and I think that’s all I would ever want from a parent! Chapter 4 “Allyson!” yelled Ms. Preach my science teacher, I must of fell asleep in class because all the kids were looking at me smirking and whispering to each other. Every class is different as I have notice you have the groups of different people, the jocks which tend to be smarter than people say, the nerds the people who would always look like their face was like made into the book, the poplars’ which seem to always be laughing. The groups made me feel stupid because then there was I in the middle of the whole thing. Grace was on my left writing, which looked like a paper about the constitution, and Blake was on my right working on some kind cartoon character. “Since you have been paying attention so good Allyson please tell me when the constitution was written?” my teacher said, I wanted to run out of the room and yell help because that’s what my brain was doing right now. I just looked at her with a “ I feel asleep in the classroom and now you expect me to answer that” face. She shoke her head. “ Pay more attention Ms. Grason or all that dozing offs is going to come out in your grade” she said, I wanted to stand up and cry “ well ya no what!” as earsplitting as I could but that would just make everything the all worse than it already was. I got out of class and as normal my locker was taken over by the people by me, they all would spread out like they were about to take a nap and as soon as one person would leave, one person would come back in, the lockers were like gravity what goes up must come down except now it was what must go in must come out. I would do my best to avoid Anna at all cost, the last thing I wanted to do was get in another “ ha ‘I’m cooler than you” fight. I never understood why the poplars would stick hook there arms together in the hallways so that no one could get through, every time I see that I just want to yell “ red rover, red rover send Ally right over.” But of coarse I couldn’t that would just make me more uncool than what I am. Another thing that cracks me up is the relationships between the poplars and the jocks, there together for like 3 days then they break up then its like 2 more days then they brake up again then again then again, I mean if you really truly loved each other wouldn’t you stay together, people can be so stupid. I get into the locker rooms for gym and head to my locker I change and quickly get into the gym Grace and Blake were waiting for me. “ Your late” said Blake sarcastically. “ I know.” I laughed; I looked around and say very litt

what is the 18th way of being a good liberal, here are the first 17? 1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand. 2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity. 3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists. 4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding. 5. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural. 6. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding. 7. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex. 8. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but PETA activists do. 9. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it. 10. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only. 11.

You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy. GOD BLESS AMERICA ...... oops, ...... can't do that either

Are kids confused when they are taught the constitution in school now days? I would think most kids would be confused. I am confused. I remember what I was taught in school, very pationately by teachers who meant every word. They told me I had certain constitiutional rights as did every other American. If these kids are still being taught what I was, there must be a lot of questions. It seems we no long regard the constitution in the same way. Do any of your kids ask about this?

Why is selling heroin to kids illegal? There is nothing about it in the U.S. Constitution? just like the healthcare proposals it is unconstitutonal

How do you explain the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to a kid? The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

How come most kids don't know the difference between the constitution and the Declaration of Independence? I asked 4 kids in my High School they all said the quote "we the people" was in both of the documents. ?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!? I am curious to know why

Why do kids know more about depresion treatment than history and the constitution? Dont figure , does it ? Dont figure , does it ?

As a parent, how old were your kids when you told them about the Constitution and what it means? Do you take it upon yourself to teach your kids about our country's government? Or, do you leave it up to the school system? Oh my son is 7 and I am already teaching him. I also do not permit him to go to public schools.

POLL: To make kids understand the United States Constitution better, should it be rewritten in text speak? "we peeps of teh US, in Order to frm a mo pfct Union..."

What Amendment passed abortion of the U.S. Constitution? From are understanding there was no Amendment that passed Abortion. We do not believe in abortion because if you don't even want a kid then you shoulldn't laid down to do it. But the only way that You should get abortion is when the childern have a sersious condiction.

why is the constitution important for us? (kids, adults, etc.)?

james wilson, signer of the constitution might of had a wife and kids. If he did, please help!? Who is james wilson's wife and kids?

Should kids be required to read the Constitution? I'm not an advocate of school prayer. I think it fails to recognize religious diversity. However, I wouldn't mind children becoming more aware of what goes on in the government. That way once they reach the legal voting age, they'll become more politically active. As people are more educated about our U.S. Constitution, I firmly believe they will become more proactive. What say any of you about that? "If people are not politically engaged, there is no government in the world that can protect them." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuPglpG28JdQmIMnTAKSOD3sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090613100412AAsmXwc

How is the U.S. constitution taught to childred in this day and age? As a child and even in to highschool, I was taught the U.S. constitution. I was led to believe that the bill of rights was valid. I was told that I had certain human rights, along with every other American. I am just wondering what a classroom sounds like discussing this subject now days? Students are smart and if they are still teaching the US constitution and Bill of Rights like they used to, the kids would have A LOT of questions about some of the things we are doing in this country? Are any of you teachers or students yourselves? What is being taught, do they understand it or is it being skipped over now? Sorry for the typo, I meant children not childred. I am human and mad a mistake. It's called a typo 920.

Where in the constitution does it say that Congress can advocate education? ok so i'm helping my friend with something. She is trying to write a bill on eliminating standardized testing (like SATs)...i mean kids don't need another stress factor...we need SATs to get into college...which i personally think is very stressful...so where in the constitution does it say that congress have the power to eliminate these kinds of testing...if any.

If it is against the constitution to teach racism to kids and indoctrinate them with it...? ... why is it legal (and even protected by the law) for someone to teach racism, misogyny and homophobia to children under the name of spirituality? Here's an example of what I'm talking about: Racism: "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners" Sexism: "For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man" Homophobia: "And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them"

is it a fact that kids born to teenagers of ages below 20 are weaker in Constitution and are generally ill?

Do you agree/disagree that the Patriot Act gives the U.S. govt. power to supercede the Constitution? The U.S. govt. claims this kid made a bomb threat from his home. FBI agents stormed his house and arrested the kid. The kid's mother says the family was at church during the time of the alleged phone call. Apparently the FBI used Patriot Act powers (checking phone/internet records) and decided this kid made the call. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5049867/ Ashton Lundeby is being held under the USA Patriot Act on a criminal complaint that a bomb threat was made from his Oxford home the night of Feb. 15. Lundeby said the USA Patriot Act stripped her son of his due process rights. "We have no rights under the Patriot Act to even defend them, because the Patriot Act basically supersedes the Constitution," she said. "It wasn't intended to drag your barely 16-year-old, 120-pound son out in the middle of the night on a charge that we can't even defend." Passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S., the Patriot Act allows federal agents to investigate suspected cases of terrorism swiftly to better protect the country. In part, it gives the federal government more latitude to search telephone records, e-mails and other records. "They're saying that 'We feel this individual is a terrorist or an enemy combatant against the United States, and we're going to suspend all of those due process rights because this person is an enemy of the United States," said Dan Boyce, a defense attorney and former U.S. attorney not connected to the Lundeby case.

In Britain kids are refused admission to certain schools on religious grounds. Does this happen in America? The best schools in Britain are exclusive religious schools and it has become a common practice for parent to pretend worship for years to get kids admitted. Furthermore kids are commonly forced to practice religion throughout their school years. I know that in US religious schools are not popular. But can admissions be rejected solely on religious grounds? Since there is a (prophetic and prudent) clause in the constitution implementing separation of state and church I'd think this is not the case. UPDATE: So from the answers it seems it is *legal* to discriminate on religious or racial grounds as long as the school does not use public funds. 1. Is such discrimination common? Are there popular/prestigious private schools that are exclusive to religions? 2. In cases where this happens, how demanding are the administrators? In UK for example they'd make sure you've been attending church for a long time and that the kid is a devotee. Is it usually the same in the US or is it often no more than a check box in the application form?

According to BMC rules or the constitution, are children allowed toplay in building? Is it possible that due to cars in a building kids are not allowed to play in a building? Is it right?

I just don't see it...How could gay marriage affect our kids in society? I'm an african-american, married, christian mother of 2 girls and i don't see how gay marriage is a threat to us. I raise my children with a good sense of self and a strong constitution, i do not believe that an openly and accepted gay society will form my kids persona (either way)...whats the problem?

Where in the constitution does it say the President is responsible for keeping kids in school? I just want to show the Right-Wing Loonies the part of the Constitution that says this so I can shut them up LOL! Boy are they about to feel stupid! Come on fellow democrats, my crazy republican buddies need a lesson taught to them, where in the constitution does it say that it is the presidents duty to keep kids in school and make sure they do good? I mean it is in there.... right? I know that Obama is the man! And he wouldn't do something unconstitutional like Bush, but I can't seem to find it... wyldfr- yes, where is that in constitution? because obama is continuing the war on drugs... but i havent found that int he constitution either... Patrick B- wait so obama is a liar? he took an oath on the constitution that he would uphold it... im confused, i know.... i just know obama wouldnt do that to me... he is good, not bad... Josh- i know racism is present in america. so many conservatives hate obama only because he is black. which is why im trying to show them that he has constitutional authority to do what he is doing. but you havent helped me... remoive me from answers- the constitution deals with delegated duties of the federal government. you are right, the federal government has no authority to enforce their ideal of common sense on other people. People say our education is worse in america than any other country. our government is heavily involved. what do they propose to do? get government more involved. what a joke. Bob- how does giving the largest agency of coercion in a given area monopoly control over education improve education?

Why did Palin use Alaskan funds to pay for her kids travels, is this more proof of her abusing her power? Why do people actually want someone like this in Office, I mean, he will total throw the constitution out the window along with anyone that disagrees with her.

do minors have the rights guaranteed to citizens in the constitution? i always hear kids crabbing about not being able to say things in school etc., etc. my understanding is that they do not have the rights until they are legal age, or am i wrong?

School kids to swear loyalty to the state - wrong way round? This is another suggestion by G Browns labour government to promote 'britishess'. Seems to me it is the state that needs to swear loyalty to the british people - when our parliament shows such contempt to the people that they can renague on a manifesto promises (eu 'not the constitution' referrendum) without the slightest shame - whose benefit is this country being run for? Europeans may be in service to their state - but here in the UK it is suppsed to be the other way around.

What do the 11-27th amendments to the constitution mean? i need them in kid friendly words. please DO NOT just write the title, or a two word definition, i would rather you left a few good, but one sentence summaries of some amendments than a word about each. thanks a lot!

Are kids really safer than they used to be? My dad was raised on a farm in the 1940's. There were no bicycle helmets, gates on stairs, or age appropriate toys. One time he and his brothers pounded a shot gun bullet with a hammer, which exploded, forcing the hammer up over his head and hit him in the back of the head (he did not let go). Where was his mother? Working the farm, of course. Now-a-days, kids live in padded cells, practically. Are humans being born with less constitution now? I'm wondering if the ratio of child injuries/death is really decreased with the advent of all these safety precauctions. (By the way, I wouldn't dream of letting my child handle a hammer without the closest supervision. I'd probably act like it was radioactive. Ha.)

Should we amend the constitution to require a BALANCED federal budget at all times, even in war? So the people like our Idiot King and his GOP court of village idiots cannot start a war and make our children pay for. To insure that all money spend by the government is FIRST collect through taxes, and NO borrowing is allowed. Its used to be a tenant of conservatism to have a balanced budget. Bush had one when he took office. And now our kids will be paying hundreds of billions of dollars for a war that with any luck will have been over for 20 years.

Since the US Constitution does not mention the right to raise one's own children? should US confiscate kids at birth and raise them in collective communes?

How is the IRS Income Tax Unconstitutional when the 16th Amendment states it could? AMENDMENT XVIPassed by Congress July 2, 1909. Ratified February 3, 1913. Note: Article I, section 9, of the Constitution was modified by amendment 16. The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. http://www.whitehouse.gov/kids/constitution/amendments11-27.html#16

Okay kids, What valid argument can we give to keep same-sex marriage illegal? I oppose same-sex marriage, but can we constitutionally ban it? Our founder would have know what homosexuals were, I am sure. But do think they meant to put it provisions for their rights in the constitution?

Is the USA violating the constitution? Christmas and Easter are big holidays here in the USA; but aren't church and state supposed to be separate? Christmas trees and lights are everywhere here in New York and as an atheist I am offended! In Europe they no longer put up trees and lights; they show RESPECT to Muslims and Atheists and don't bow down to the majority. Why is the USA violating their own constitution by establishing Christianity as the state religion! All holidays should be abolished and kids should be in school!

I would like to know where it is stated in the Constitution that the government has power to force me to? support people who will not work and seem to always have money for beer and cigarettes but can't seem to find the money to feed their kids. This is not a socialist country some of these people need to fend for themselves I do.

is there an amendment to the constitution that gives children the right to a good education? my kids are going to a terrible school. It's a public school. there is a teacher with tenure there that is a terrible alcoholic and everybody knows it it's a running joke among the students. He has a cup of vodka on his desk and bottles hidden in his classroom. my kids have found it on 2 ocasions.But no one can do anything about it I'm told, because he has tenure. Now though my kids are being discriminated against badly such as weeks of missing assignments. (I've seen the work before turn in) I've had to make them get a reciept for all they turn in among other things. Now due to my protestations all my kids and I are suffering class discrimination.I need to know what my rights are to bring a suit against the school.Also there are many others that feel the same way. Another problem is that it's a small town and if you don't have the right last name your screwed thus the class discrimination. Please this is important!

when will our constitution stop being shredded ? lemme see. liberals think that phone conversations with al-queda members is protected in the constitution. they think that an american caught on the battlefield in afghanistan shooting at the United states armed forces is protected. these are the constitutional rights they beleive in. However. lets look at reality. they are silent when the right to smoke is taken. silent when the right to own a gun is abridged. they are silent when liberals actually change the words of the constitution to mean they can take private land for public "use" rather than "purpose". they are silent when california liberals propose a law making it illegal for them to spank their kids. they are silent when liberal judges say the constitution is a living document that any 5 judges can make it mean whatever they want. im a little tired of the hypocracy of the liberal. the next time they talk about caring about the constitution silence them with a punch in the mouth. and thats a memo wyldfag? the right to smoke is there with every other right. its legal. therefore u should have the right to do it the same way u would want the right to read, drive, play hopscotch. if u dont like a legal action, then the voters should make it illegal. understand? wow, u make some really silly arguments, u need to understand the constitution is not just about protecting your right to bad mouth your country and watch kiddie porn on the interenet which is what liberals like u believe.

Should US families write their own family Constitution? Say you have the Jones Family. Father George Jones, Mother Susan, Uncle Ben. And they have 3 kids. JONES FAMILY CONSTITUTION PREAMBLE: RATIFIED JANUARY 8th, 2009 - "We the Jones Family, in order provide a more perfect family bondship, establish fairness, provide for the education of our children, and teach them faithfully do ordain and establish this constitution of, by, and for the Jones Family." Instead of the House and Senate, all family rules MUST pass the Mom and the Dad. Uncle Ben has Veto power. To override a veto, both Mom and Dad must provide the house rule in writing. If Mom and Dad disagree, the law must be rewritten. Uncle Ben interprets the Jones Family laws if the child disagrees that say Dad's 8:30pm bed time rule is unconstitutional in the Jones Family Constitution. The executive of the Jones Family is a shared power every family member would have. Therefore you don't have elections, the Jones Family is the Jones Family. Mom and Dad are the lawmakers, but their power is checked by Uncle Ben. Jones Family Budget has several fund balances, must like US agencies. There's a family fund, a dad's fund, a mom's fund, allowance funds for each child, plus savings account funds for each child set aside by Mom and Dad. Each child has autonomy to take his/her allowance money and make his/her own funds. Bill of Rights 1) There will be no hitting or spanking or yelling. (All punishments are prescribed by law in the constituion including definition of "Getting Grounded") Wouldn't this be a fun family experiment? Oh yes, here's the power to the kids. If ALL 3 kids oppose a house rule not written less than 6 months to date, it can then be reviewed by Uncle Ben and then must be reinstated or else by nullified.

Why is the Military Joining The American Resistance To Protect The Constitution? And you just sit on your ass playing a little kids game of I'm rubber and your glue whatever you say bounds off me and sicks to you.

Why are Schools allowed to make Unconstituional Rules? I honestly think that it is ridiculous that ppl think that the constitution doesn't apply to kids. So why can schools make rules on language, dress, and search & seizure? (Searching lockers to seize personal items without a warrant) also, are schools allowed to search personal containers inside of lockers?

Does it say in constitution that taxpayers should pay for children to be educated shouldn't that be 4 parents? why should people with no kids pay for others' expenses? the government wastes 10-15 thousand dollars a year on one student, and some of them can't even read when they "graduate"

Was Bush kidding when he swore to uphold the Constitution?

Constituation book for kids?? as for my history project i need to write a book for kids (ages 5-10) about the constitution. do u have any ideas how can i write it in SIMPLE language?? there are so many hard word...how can i translate them in easy language so the kidos can understand??

Why do some people say they're against Gay Marriage because they don't want their kids 'seeing it'? Last I checked Gay couples will hold hands and kiss in public whether they're married or not. Also I know this has been said before but -- I believe a church NOT receiving public funds should have the right to refuse to marry gay couples. HOWEVER, a public court shouldn't deny it. According to the constitution religion shouldn't play any part in governmental decision so if a gay couple wants to be married in City Hall there shouldn't be any debate on the subject.

Can we amend the Constitution so that Bush could run for a third term? just kidding

Teachers, parents, students, Question about US Constitution? How is the U.S. constitution taught to childred in this day and age?

If things get worse in this war and they have to bring back the draft should women be considered? I'm not sure how realistic it is for us to institute the draft but i think it's possible seeing the whole constitution has been banned by G.W. & friends. But me and my friend were having this discussion. Assuming there is/was a draft in the near future for whatever reason. Should women w/out kids be forced to enter the draft? Should they be limited to frontline duty, as a chef, mechanics, or do you think that men & women are equal?

Which presidential candidate can you look in the mirror & say you know very well including positions? Also, who would you be proud to tell your kids (or a relative's kids) that we can trust that this President has the view in the Declaration of Independence that we are all "endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are Life, Liberty"; that they will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, as well as tell them, "This man has accomplished much, is a good leader, has sound judgement, and strong moral fiber"?

Who here thinks Christianity should be aloud in public schools? I sure think so. I think it's stupid that they don't. The kids even get in trouble for even talking about it! I mean, it does say in the Constitution, "freedom of religion" and "freedom of speech." Ya know what I mean?

What exactly is "church" defined as in the term "Separation of Church and State"? It is obviously all religion, not just "church," but is there a line between religion and simple ideas? Is there anything in the Constitution that defines what is and is not "religion?" Also, would "complete seperation of church and state" mean that, for example, kids in school could not wear religous clothing or pray in school if their religion mandated it?

do you think it is fair that President Obama is on Mel Zelaya's side? I am from Honduras and I was wondering what do people think about the situation that is happening right now in Honduras? Do you think it is fair president Obama wants president Mel Zelaya back to presidency? If many of you don't know, millions of people in Honduras are walking down some cities claiming peace and democrasy because they don't want the ex president to come back. Some people say he now has 19 illegal charges against him since last Sunday because he was trying to enter the country without permission, but if that doesn't count as illegal then he has 18 illegal charges against him so far. Now were talking about the president who wanted to make drugs legal on February 22, 2008 to "stop so much murdering" you know what is the average number of deaths A DAY here in honduras? From 7 to 12. And everyday on the newspaper you see a dead person in the front page. He has also spent 2 billion lempiras (national currency) the past 2 months and hasn't said on what. We ousted him because he wanted to start something that here we call "la cuarta urna" (the fourth urn) and it is to see if people want him to be president again for another term which would be illegal because you would have to change the constitution. But since he is a liar what he was really trying to do is do a constituent that takes the government, military, congress, etc.. Out of power so if we really wanted to oust him we can't because nobody would have any power over him. He is just trying to be like Hugo Chavez. If you were a Honduran like I am, you would know why most of us want peace and democracy. He hasn't helped us at all, that's why you see kids of ages from 6-10 selling bubble gum out in the streets or asking for money. That is why our roads are so screwed up, and he also said he would double the number of cops from 9,000 cops to 18,000 cops. Do you think he did? No. So do you think all of this is fair? BTW all of this was written by a 13 year old.

Why do the liberals support the failure Department of Education? There is no article in the Constitution that states that the federal government should be allowed to be involved in the education of American children. Parents, not the government or the UN, should be responsible for the education of American children. The Department of Education has a budget of $69 billion a year, which comes from taxpayers. Instead of learning about the Constitution and the Founding Fathers, children are being fed UN garbage, like "how to be better members of the global community". In fact, many kids do not know who the Founding Fathers are or who the current President of the United States is. Ronald Reagan tried to have the Department of Education abolished, but the liberal-dominated Congress refused to pass the legislation. Mercer Devil: I have a problem with government being involved in education when the Constitution makes no provisions for it.

More important for the Government to fund Early Childhood Education? I almost fell on my face. A national priority during a financial crisis is educating preschool kids? Obama sees funding Early Childhood Education, more important than National Defense? I thought the Constitution said that the Government's primary purpose was to DEFEND it's citizens, not educate 3 year children who should be at home with mommy or with a sitter. What is Obama thinking?

what do you blame on the goverment? i blame the goverment for taking away freedom of speech,shredding the constitution,911,poverty,kids on drugs,no jobs,letting wall street rape us,taking over the media,taxing us.etc im glad to hear what you think related to the subject.

Who is attending a Tea Party on July 4th? The Tea Party movement will hold another round of Tea Parties on July 4th. Who's planning to attend one? I'm a tea party leader in my town and we're having a picnic, giving away pocket constitutions and having live entertainment and guest speakers on the 2nd amendment, state sovereinty, etc., along with lots of activities and games for kids.

When did the government get into banking? An enormous number of Actual Economists -- as opposed to newspaper columnists -- vigorously oppose the bailout. It is bad economic policy. It is absurd... its like letting a fox into the hen house. Trusting the same people who got us into Iraq . . .the same people who started taking away constitutional rights in the name of homeland security...the same people who FAILED to respond during the Katrina emergency... the same people who FAILED to even notice there was an economic problem in the FIRST place . . . the same people who used SHOCK and AWE to frighten every one in the first place, did it again. Those same people have repeatedly violated our constitutional rights. What is the matter with people . . . are they all drunk? Constitutionality is not a mere feature of legislation; it is a threshold REQUIREMENT. All Members of Congress take a pledge to "support and defend the Constitution," and that duty does not fade away in a time of crisis—indeed, it is then especially that constitutional fidelity is most crucial and most endangered. Our senate sold out our kids last night, people. Fire them... vote them out and prosecute the criminals in wall street.

What is happening about the old World Trade CentRE site? Are they just going to leave it there as a big deep hole in the ground - or are they actually going to do something with it ? It is unlike the ''lets do it'' race to procastinate and leave something undone for so long! Why don't they just make the damn place into a nice park - maybe just for a change a different shape from a bloody square or rectangle ? Let some of the water in from Hudson river and make a boating lake or something - and as big an adventure playground as the site will allow ? If there's no building to blow up - it can't be blown up can it ? Oh silly me ! Three school shootings in a week - what am I thinking - someone will come in and shoot the kids won't they ? After all having a gun is part of their constitution isn't it ? Ahhhhh! I think I've cracked it - that's the reason why they talk about straw when they greet each other isn't ? One DUDE to another HEY ! HEY BACK AT YER! They use this word as a greeting - just to make sure neither side's got a gun! I've just had a great idea what they could do with the old site - relocate the Guantanamo Bay facility there - then Americans could come and gorp and at all those nasty terrists - well that's how Bush pronounces it - and who am I to argue with him - what's in a syllable anyway ! The word CHILDREN springs to mind !

What did Chuck Norris have to go and take a crap on our constitution? watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pnFg0Sp2Xw Chuck Norris is no longer my roundhouse to the face warrior god. I'd say the Karate Kid is closer now. oops i meant "why did chuck norris have to go and take a crap on our constitution?"

Question on the constitution (more clear)? Our constitution says nothing about the people paying taxes to the government. So my question is: Is it possible to live without paying taxes. (according to the constitution, it should be possible). If so, why do we still pay taxes? - (when we don't want to, because I know some people do want to) OK, so your saying a bunch of people got together (government), and decided that everyone is going to pay them taxes, and they decide how they want to spend that money? We work, we use our time, and we cant keep our money? I seriously don't see how this could be fair. I'm glad I don't have to do taxes, but doing them seems just unreasonable. Same with health care. Say, some person is drinking and having sex with everyone, and spreads disease, and uses drugs, and does dangerous things. They want to use my money to provide health care for them? If I don't take care of my car: don't give it maintenance, no oil changes, no break changes, no aliments, not car washes, and I drive like I want, and go crazy on the roads. Should the government pay to fix my car? Lets have the government pay (with our taxes) for all the car repairs also, Hmmm? The same thing with everything else. Why does the governments try to get itself involved with everything in a persons life? I believe a country ought to have government for protection. Not for dictation of their lives. Even though its not a dictatorship. I don't see how this is fair. Why can't we just pay the amount when we need to for our problem. Why does this go in with taxes? With this going on it makes me think that the group in charge of taxes could be doing even better than the time of the slaves. Think about it. We work all day, have just enough money to pay our rent, our health care, our bills, our mortgage, our food. And we pay the rest for the government taxes. this does not sound like freedom to me! They want to have a license for me to get property, they want me to get a license to get a house on my property, they want a license for me to cut down a tree on my property, they want a license for me to get married, to have kids, to do everything in this country. What happened to this country being the home of the free? We are not free to do anything without the governments permission. I'm only 16, and don't have a job yet, and thinking about this does not make me appreciate our country.
