AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

Well, you have, yourself, just amply demonstrated the truth of my argument.

You presume to know what others think, know and don't know, and that those who oppose you are merely "spoiled white folks ...." . In all of it you don't acknowledge that there is any legitimacy to perspectives that are different from your own.

There are words commonly used to describe that state of mind, but I won't bother to repeat them here.

You know what really irritates me about the tea parties? The basic fact that if right now, it were President John McCain and not President Obama, and nothing else had changed, these tea parties wouldn’t exist. You know it, I know it, and even the teabaggers know it. It is just such transparent bullshit that it is offensive. The most these guys ever did during the last lost eight years was put a limp Porkbusters logo on their website, but now that we have President Malcom X George McGovern Shabazz, they are freaking out like there is no tomorrow. So absurd.

OTA (i.e., Obama The Abomination) is acting like he thinks he can bypass the "supreme law of the land" with his executive orders. The USA does not grant the President that power. OTA will soon discover that those who ordinarily enforce federal law will refuse to enforce OTA's executive orders that bypass the Constitution.

It is unconstitutional for OTA to steal via federal taxes what people have lawfully earned, and give it to people who have not lawfully earned it.

It is unconstitutional for OTA to tax dollars of lawfully earned gross personal income at non-uniform non-flat tax rates.

It is unconstitutional for OTA to require states to comply with federal orders directing state spending.

TAX ENOUGH ALREADY PARTY

While I wouldn't dream of claiming that the current Dem majority is permanent, it does seem that it will be around for at least the next four to eight years, simply based on the numerical advantage the Dems hold in the House and Senate. Therefore, I will repeat my earlier advice to you right-wingers: Get used to it. Because the country is going to be ran by Liberals for the next several years no matter what you do. This childish puling about taxes going up is unbecoming and will accomplish nothing.

Ican, when did you make a single post complaining about Bush's repeated and abusive use of signing statements?

Early in 2007! And thereafter.

I was much too slow to respond to Bush's violations of the Constitution. I'm learning that you are much too slow to respond to OTA's violations of the Constitution. You should have much less difficulty wising up to OTA's violations, because they are so much greater and so much more blatant than were Bush's.

Domestically, Bush was bad. OTA is far, far, ... far worse.

Your referring to Obama as an 'Abomination' is racist speech and you really should cut it out.

Can you provide a link to a post from 2007 or whenever, where you complained specifically about Bush's use of signing statements? I wager you cannot.

Who gives a ****? If you don't like his posts, don't read them but quit whining about them for fucks sake.

Yes, please do show us some comparisons that shows Obama's is "far, far...far worse?"

Governor Rick Perry, last month: Governor Perry Calls For 1,000 Troops To Be Sent To Border

Governor Rick Perry, five months ago: Governor Perry Requests 18 Month Extension Of Federal Aid For Ike Debris Removal

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America

I dont see it that way.
Perry is expecting the federal govt to carry out their constitutionally mandated responsibilities and to leave the state alone otherwise.
