Somebody is FINALLY making the point!

 

[onetwoonetwo]

that is a good read.

 

[Meezer]

The good Judge nails it again!

 

[Liberty1911]

Yeah, I love this guy. What's with the hair line?

 

[Fedempl]

Man is brilliant. It's a shame King Obama will never be tried for those killings.

The Judge has always gotten it right! Anyone who actually understands history will always see the constitution as the greatest document ever written for 'the People'. Unless they are trying to hold power over us, enslave us, or strip our power, they would always have to see it this way.

These two paragraphs are a bitter pill to swallow for many...even on a pro-2A, pro-constitution forum like INGO:

This forced egalitarianism was never the purpose of government in America. When the people in the original 13 states gave up some of their personal liberties to create their state governments so they could perform the services that governments in the West do, and when the states themselves gave up some of their liberties to create the federal government of limited powers to address the issues of nationhood, they never authorized government to impose taxes to transfer wealth to those who lack it or need it.

This may sound harsh, but there is simply no authority in the Constitution for the feds to tax Americans or to borrow money in their names to rebuild private homes in New Orleans or at the Jersey Shore. And there is no moral authority for that, either. If folks want to give money to those whose properties were damaged by natural disasters and lacked adequate insurance coverage, they are free to do so, but nowhere does government have the authority to compel us to do so.

For 4-5 generations now, we have been indoctrinated with the idea that it is the federal government's rightful place to help support those that cannot or will not support themselves. For many of us, it is now unimaginably heartless to even consider leaving the helpless to their own devices without a government check. Seemingly, we cannot imagine a world where extended families, or churches or charities, care for our disabled family members -- only with the help of the .gov can care be provided.

Unless we get Sharia law here?


BTW, what happened to our INGO ueber-liberal contingent? Haven't seen much of them since the election. The opposition here these days is pretty tepid compared to the dyed-in-the-wool true believers we had.

Well said. I've been reading a book about the 1927 Mississippi flood, which was the greatest natural disaster the country has ever had.

Commerce Sec. Herbert Hoover was in charge of disaster recovery, and this event was the precedent for full blown Federal payouts and the transfer of state infrastructure (in this case levies), to the Fed.

Very well said! Its about time.

Waitaminnit! I thought Hoover was an insensitive GOP-SOB who didn't care about all the suffering after the Stock Market Crash?!

I agree, but eventually us Americans, as well intended and good hearted as we are, are going to have to tackle these tough issues again. There was a time in this country, that common sense was the determining factor, in the direction of the country, in spite of our emotional state. I personally feel, that one political party, although far from perfect, is at least trying to handle the BIG issues with common sense, and the other is not!
