Another Dem Congressman on tapeFollow

Again, you don't seem to understand what that judge ruled on today. Do you need Joph to explain it to you?

Wouldn't you say that the government providing healthcare for everyone is a part of protecting your right to (a healthy) life?
And I'd say that healthcare does a lot more to protect your right to life than the military has done for quite some time.

Just you watch! The birther case will hit SCOTUS by fall of 2009 AT THE LATEST!!!

Eh, I looked at it the same way as I do Drudge: assuming the headline has little to do with the whole story and minor items will be sensationalized. Now I just start out assuming anything on Breitbart is probably a forgery.

Brilliant! Count me in.

Good lord, you're a moron.

This whole fucking thread is about how the Democrat in the video was "caught on tape" saying something absurd. What he said was, "The constitution doesn't really prevent the government from making 'rules' that interfere in how you live your private life."

My question to the simpletons "Conservatives" on this board is, "HOW WAS HE WRONG?"

And not one of you can tell me how he is wrong. You can go on and on about why you think laws against killing people are A-OK, but this isn't, but you can't answer a simple question.

Really the whole video is a woman comparing the healthcare reform to slavery, and asking the Democrat at the town hall meeting, "If the government can do this, than what else can the government to do interfere in our private lives?!?! OMGWTFBBQKITTENS!!!" To which he answers her with, "Um, the constitution really doesn't stop them from doing that..."

Then Breitbart gets his panties wet, and posts the video with the caption of, "Democrat says government can do anything!!11oneoneeleven"

Do you maybe understand the whole point of me asking how he was wrong now...?

Jesus, it's like talking to a four year old.

My 4 year old would have either grasped all of this by now, or walked away accepting that it's above his comprehension level.

I agree, it's very... arousing.

I love it when people pretend that the Constitution has some sort of magical powers or divine decree. The only thing that stops the government from doing anything is the people in the government versus the people on the street. Vote out those who think an insurance mandate is constitutional and you can vote in people who think the First Amendment shouldn't cover flag burning or you can pass state laws that directly violate the 14th Amendment or appoint Attorney Generals who'll sit and argue with a straight face and complete sincerity that there's no guarantee of habeas corpus in the Constitution. Folks who believe on one hand that the 2nd Amendment guarantees you ownership of high powered military rifles to protect yourself from the government and, on the other hand, believe that there's no Constitutional protection against the government tapping your phone calls without a warrant so it can stop terrorists.

When their side is against something, the Constitution is holy and inviolate. When their side wants something, it's barely more than a loose collection of suggestions.

Tulip,



And you're a stupid *****. Now we're getting somewhere.




And he's 1000% wrong!. The constitution was meant to LIMIT the powers of the govn. When the govn can force people into slavery to support someone else the constitution means nothing. Of course it means nothing to liberals as it is so that's nothing new. What's new is liberal democrats are so out of touch with the political climate that they actually think it's a good thing to admit to having a govn that has complete control over it's citizens.

You were one of the loudest b*tches to whine and moan about W's wiretapping of communication coming into this country from known sponsors of islamic terrorism. Yet for some reason a govn forcing it's citizens, at the point of a gun (and yes this is true despite how jophed and you other radicals mock this), doesn't seem to bother you one bit. You're willing to have other people hand over their rights because YOU think it's the right thing to do.



You besides that's not the duty of the govn? Sadly you and your buddies are doing everything you can to make him right. The Govn isn't supposed to control every aspects of our life.




And he's wrong. The constitution has LIMITED powers. That means if it's not in the constitution the govn shouldn't be able to do it. But you don't really care about that, especially if it inconvienences your pinko commy bretherens agenda.



And yes you are a stupid *****. And thanks to you and the Democrats you've completely f*cked this great nations economy up. How many years have the Dems controlled congress now?

They created this mess with the sole purpose of destroying capitalism and placing as many major industries under the boot of big govn. Let's see how many CZARS has Obama appointed?

Good grief varus, lay off the insults a bit. You're going way overboard here.
