Waffler, Freedom is a law of nature. The Constitution is a founding document, an enshrinement of principle set in place for all time.

That and the fact that many regulations serve only to allow the government to participate in monoplolies for their corporate buddies...that result in Swiss bank accounts for politicians? Anyone who believes we actually have free enterprise or free trade hasn't been paying attention.

Case in point, Canada and the US stand alone in the America's in maintaining their "War on Drugs" as recently noted in the America's Summit in Cartagena. Gotta keep those lawyer's, courts and prisons busy...it's Big Business and it comes with lots and lots of kick backs...and "control".

Appropriate to its time. I wonder what Eisenhower would have thought of the Government policy of creating a nation of state educated dependants who have no concept of freedom.

The Constitution is NOT a "living document". It is an enshrinement for all time of exactly what duties the Government is limited to. Forever! Period! Waffler I hear North Korea has a living set of laws to be interpreted every 5 minutes or so...why don't you move there?

Waffler you idiot! You assume a very great deal about what I do or don't think. And your tired old "Blame Bush" theatrics are once again irrelevant in the obvious face of massive corruption through ALL administrations since the civil war. The judiciary / Supreme Court is in place to keep Government over reach in check. When they don't do that they are conspirators in a crime against "We The People". What part of that don't you get? Now, have fun using your twisted communist progressive mind to twist THAT! PS...I heard Bush caused all the tornados in Oklahoma, as well as the crash in the Eurozone and the floods in Australia! Geez he does get around doesn't he?

Each of us must step up to defend the Constitutional rights of others if we expect the same in return. Thinking that the Government will preserve our rights is pure foolishness.

He's right. If the executive, legislative and judicial branches are acting in concert, the Constitutional system of checks and balances is lost. And we're almost there...

Waffler, the same thing could be said about "progressives", They're disgusting and I don't want them congregating on my street or influencing my children....off with their heads! LOL

Gotta keep that "War on Drugs" going...unless of course you're Big Pharma, the single largest lobby in Congress. Prohibition is nothing more than an excuse to tax and control.

Second Amendment rights are not granted, they are enshrined and gauranteed. Any law negating the right to defend yourself is an unjust law and therefore an irrelevant law,

I'm not a "rightist" Waffler. I'm a Constitutionalist. There's a huge difference but the left can't seem to see that far.

Lots of wind Waffler...yet you still managed to make "no point at all". You "Greens" are the useful idiots of the UN's Agenda 21. You are Stalin's wet dream...Have a good day ...Kamrade. :)

Wake up to what ray? That Hitler was a good guy after all?

A half truth is designed to obscure the actual truth. Therefore it is a lie.

Traficant seems to have been discredited either by his own actions or by way of being silenced. Either way, whether he's telling the truth or not (Most of it IS true), he can not be used for any sort of validation...not anymore.

Poor Waffler...so deluded...Global Warming is Al Gore's sick joke promulgated to further the green (communist) agenda. (And make Al rich)But I guess I forgot...you are a communist so you're on a mission to further a big lie. Funny, your commie friends in China aren't doing much to clean up their act...why don't you start with them?

The United States Inc. has been one great lie after another. Restore the Republic and the Constitution.

Gee I heard that the latest president is dismantling the Constitution, but Hey! Did you see the Broncos on the weekend?

Substitute the word politicians for men, and you have a quote pertinent to today's smoke and mirror show. Our so called "leaders" always seem to have plausible deniabilty based on what they intended rather than what resulted from their policies. And the results are generally that we are further impoverished and our rights lessened.

Right on Mike. I wonder how much time each and every one of us could spend bent in service to our fellow man...before we all starve to death. Somebody actually has to produce something and to suggest production and innovation should be undertaken simply for the benefit of our fellow man...is right out of the Stalinist playbook. Garbage!

And speaking of garbage policies...Congratulations Canada for being the first jurisdiction in the history of the planet to repeal (long) gun registration. And for upsetting the UN apple cart by refusing to sign on to the UN small arms treaty. Go Canada! :)

The continuous "legislation" conducted by our so called leaders is nothing more than the usurping of rights guaranteed under the Constitution and, in Canada, the British North America Act. These parasites have nothing better to do than create garbage policies and laws that do nothing more than stifle free men and give themselves more control. So when some or any of these garbage policies become so abhorrent as to create a political backlash from "We The People", the parasites actually do look for ways to reinstate their garbage with different and more clever wording. That's "Democracy in Action"

I can easily relate this quote to so many things I see today, but it would be interesting to know the context in which this was said or written.

Further to this quote: "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." ~ Winston Churchill
