What do you want the armed services to do if it is not to do as bid by their political masters who we have to presume know what they are doing? Ballet dancing classes?

Who knows whats next, spendius? Just maybe it would be mandated so that our "diversity could be our strength?" Without diversity, we're done, its over!!!!!!

That could be where old "Yellowhair (Custer) went wrong?

@okie,

You got some nerve! The televangelists on cable should be stripped of their non-profit status as a religious organization for the right-winged ideology they're "selling" on the air waves too! Who did Jerimiah Wright kill? He served his country as a uniformed soldier in the Viet Nam war and I don't hear anyone complaining about that! Viet Nam, where racism was so prevalent. You equivocate Rev. Wright with a mentally defective person? Those are grounds for libel, if you can't prove it and you can't! You should be real careful, how you compare apples and oranges. Be more focused on the "birthers" and persons carrying guns where the President is speaking. Disrespect? You don't know the meaning, you're so focused on disrespecting someone who is highly regarded by his congregation. George Wallace and Bull Conner would be proud of you!

You said:
I am a conservative, I believe in the constitution, which is in individual rights and responsibilities for all citizens, and I am dead set against extreme socialism or marxism, which I think the extreme leftists in this country have affections for.

Forget conservatism, you believe in the Constitution? I thought it guaranteed rights for ALL of its' citizens, including President Obama and Reverend Wright who DON'T share your ideology. Different strokes! Funny, the "tea-party" people demonstrate, mock a respected and elected person of the Black Community, then whine about anybody touching their "medicare"! HAH! A government run, government paid medical program for seniors and the disabled, but don't want it for the rest of the citizens who don't have any medical insurance.

Is the Constitution a far-left document? It guarantees rights for ALL! Socialism? I don't think so. You seem to think socialism is running government programs for all. Is education socialism? Is having good health for all, socialism? Is having the ability to work, socialism? Was the draft socialist? Israel has a compulsory public service or military program. Is Israel a socialist country? I thought it was patriotic to serve one's country as national defense. Is that why Bush sent the National Guard instead of the regular Army? Bush was a$$-backwards anyway! Is supporting our troops a socialist concept? You make the call!

Read the newspapers. He DID try to get out of the service and they wouldn't let him.

I wonder if thats why more troops were not sent to help Custer up there on the Little Bighorn a little sooner? After all, they probably needed more time to think things through? I don't know if that is a perfect analogy, probably not, but it could have some similarities. Just maybe they should have sent more cavalrymen sooner or have ordered old Yellowhair to come back home immediately and leave them Indians alone?

I watch in awe as you discuss the military strategies of the government and what would have helped us better eradicate the indigenous peoples here.

Truly amazing.

@teenyboone,

teeny, I guess I have been under a false impression all my life. I quit working. My "rights" include free health care, and probably housing, transportaniton, and food and clothing. Why work if all of those things are "rights" as guaranteed in the constitution as you seem to be promoting. After all, whats the difference between the guarantee of health care and the guarantee of food or housing? I did without them.

Good if he tried to get out, they should have let him out. I was criticizing the military for not booting him out, or if he tried to get out, I say they should have accomodated him. The only thing at issue would be what kind of discharge.

What is so amazing about that? Besides, I doubt there were any truly "indigenous peoples" here. Archeology, and even the human genome project, all indicate everyone came here from somewhere else, probably some of the first here came originally from Africa or the Middle East, then migrating through Asia before they arrived here to the Americas, where they then moved around alot before they ended up where they are now.
The only difference in us is when and how we all got here.

No, no ... those who have not consumed Obama Kool-Aid are racists ... and those who commit blasphemy by speaking of Him in a joking manner are also racists ... well, actually, pretty much anyone who does not have dark skin is a racist ...

What is worse than his ignorance is the way he molds facts to suit his arguments. Credibility is not one of his concerns.

@Advocate,

I also think he is immune to facts and evidence, because he can't support most of what he opines on a2k. There used to be a parlance on the use of computers called "garbage in, garbage out," but okie has never learned it. He believes his personal opinion is the final word.

@Advocate,

The Constitution specifically grants powers to the federal government for a great many things. Those powers it does not grant to the federal government are powers reserved to the states or to the people.

Quote:

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment IX
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

Consequently, there is currently no constitutional power granted explicitly or logically implicitly to the federal government to regulate "the Internet, derivatives, global warming" and many other things. Consequently, if the federal government does, or were to, regulate these things, the federal government is or would be violating the Constituion, "the supreme law of the land."

By the way, "Joe the Plumber" has been a plumber employed by licensed plumbers. As such Joe, his nick name, did not require a license to do plumbing work while he was employed by a licensed plumber.

@ican711nm,

So he wasn't running a business - he was an employee?

@old europe,

I don't know if "Joe the Plumber" was running a business at the time he chatted with Obama prior to Obama's election about Obama saying he wanted to "spread the wealth around." However, I do know he worked for licensed plumbers in the past and was at those times a plumber.
