It's not as though they arrived at their final decisions without vigorous debate. In fact, many items were near run but it shows the quality of their work and why it has stood the test of time. They thought much through and didn't arrive at decisions willy nilly.Jay Thttp://www.firingpinjournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-62293391078666231382010-02-20T19:16:05.523-05:002010-02-20T19:16:05.523-05:00What consenting adults do in private is nobody'...What consenting adults do in private is nobody's business but their own. And who and how many consenting adults choose to wed is nobody's business but their own. <br /><br />As far as Obama's place of birth is concerned, an individual with far more patience than I have pegs the cost of refusing to show Obama's "long form certificate" at $15 million as of election day, '08. <br /><br />That is a lot of money just to keep a public record out of public view. I suppose it is remotely possible that it is mere contrariness. It's more likely Obama or his supporters believe there is a valid reason for concealment. <br /><br />Perhaps his mother was determined to have a girl, and named him Pearl. Or some other name that would grate on the electorate's ear. Jamma Obama perhaps. <br /><br />I could mention other and more likely conjectures, but I will only observe that fifteen mil is a lot of money to hide something that should be freely and publicly displayed on request. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-65122325229406536032010-02-20T17:05:54.414-05:002010-02-20T17:05:54.414-05:00"Conservatives say the government can't e..."Conservatives say the government can't end poverty by force, but they believe it can use force to make people moral. Liberals say government can't make people be moral, but they believe it can end poverty.

The man is undoubtedly, at a minimum, a naturalized citizen, but that does not meet the qualifications as outlined in the Constitution. I understand that you may not feel this to be of primary concern, but consider this; the man has access to, and the authority to launch, a nuclear arsenal that could exterminate all life on this planet. The President is also the CINC of the most lethal military in the history of mankind.<br /><br />There can NOT be ANY question as to the man's background. His own grandmother swears that he was born in Kenya, and that she witnessed his birth there; his father was not an American citizen. He has spent millions keeping his birth records from public disclosure. Why? To what end? <br /><br />When I applied for my government security clearance, concealed-carry permit, FAA pilot's certificate, and when I enlisted in the Air Force I was required to submit my original, (or a certified copy of) full birth certificate; no redactions or omissions permitted. I cannot understand why the same standards would not apply, and has apparently not been applied, to the President of the United States.<br /><br />It is possible that Barry has committed the most stunning fraud in the history of man; namely, a foreign-born man may have ascended to the Presidency of the most powerful nation in history. This is not "small stuff." And now that he's been seated as the President, nearly every action he has taken has weakened our Republic. Again I ask; to what end?<br /><br />If it is discovered that he is not a natural-born citizen, he should be impeached for fraud and tried in the Senate. Otherwise, we'll do well to pay more attention to these details in the future.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142221102961906077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-30781016117022768162010-02-20T16:30:53.211-05:002010-02-20T16:30:53.211-05:00The only problem I see with religious displays on...The only problem I see with religious displays on government property it that I'm forced to help pay for it. So many religious folks make an exception to the sixth (Jewish), seventh (Catholic) or eighth (Protestant) commandment where tax supported religious displays are involved.parabarbarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987535851654809713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-31151206543430245022010-02-20T14:42:44.785-05:002010-02-20T14:42:44.785-05:00Roberta
I have to go back to your previous quote:...Roberta<br /><br />I have to go back to your previous quote:<br /><br />Barry Goldwater, <br />US Senator, General USAF, 1964 Republican Presidential Candidate <br /><br />“”The conservative movement, to which I subscribe, has as one of its basic tenets the belief that government should stay out of people's private lives. Government governs best when it governs least - and stays out of the impossible task of legislating morality. But legislating someone's version of morality is exactly what we do…””<br /><br />I worked for Goldwater when I was in high school in 64 and have watched every stinking special interest grooup want to have the FedGov hammer their wants into law at the expense of the rest of us. The FedGov has two jobs, deliver the mail and defend the borders. Lets get back to basics!<br /><br />Bruce<br />crankyoldmanwithgun@yqhoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
