    I just typed up this letter to the judge, that I was going to send. But, all the spirits and honest dead guys are yelling in my ear; "don't do it, don't do it!

    Because honesty sucks and being a criminal rules.

    So my dead family told me to go to bed and shut the heck up.

    Andrew is hot; he is on Megan Kelly quite often; and Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Fox and Friends, in the early hours, often.

    I am thrilled he found the Gulch. Obama will take not of this, though.

    I don't know. Probably not; they minpulate gold, the dollar and I guess if you have enough money to buy or sell enough stock to change the price, I am sure it is manipulated, but is that illegal? No, you have the money. I just play the manipulations. I go with the flow.

    Since Prof. Gruber fraudulently suckered Congress, with fraudulent facts, (all Democrats, no Republicans ie. not a full Congress)) to vote in the ACA, would "The Fruit of the Poison Tree" doctrine be applicable to voiding Obamacare? Since this doctrine seems to have been decided on to protect the criminals, then it just seems to be appropo to the case pending before the SCOTUS right now!.

    A fundamental flaw in our government is the 'operators' of that government draw personal prestige and career advancement from 'managing' more people and resources than they did last year - its the basis for the ever ballooning size and scope of the government.

    That is correct. We honor the document as a cherished place in our history, because We the People cast off our oppressors and desired to form a more perfect society. The document doesn't have any legal standing though, other than a as a basis of our philosophy as a nation and our culture. One could argue that are police mentality with regard to securing and protecting other peoples and nations comes in a great part from the Declaration of Independence in our psyche.

    I think we're already seeing the precursors to that - California has had a couple of propositions at the grass roots level recently to split the state into 1 or more separate entities. It makes sense - as cultural norms for people in Trinity County or the far north of the state are very different from the ruling masses in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Gun control laws would be a notable example.

    They'd have to argue that *they themselves* are taxing residents so they can send money to DC b/c they know they can get more back than they pay in. Even in the Upper Midwest, not all states could pay above average. :) They would have some 'splaining to do if they sent the money to DC and it didn't come back.

    since barack Obama has been president it has been shown that he has no respect for the laws that exist and actually created his own laws. That said we are now witnessing professional athletes almost if not all black men supporting this same attitude towards the law. it makes no difference that the two police officers were found innocent of all charges these well paid black men believe that they can have an influence, etc. well for my part they have I will no longer watch professional football or basketball. what is you opinion? this is the influence of barack Obama.

    Quite correct, O.A., William Jennings Bryan as the opposition. The progressives did then what they have done ever since. They paint us into making a choice of the lesser of two evils. As AR so correctly pointed out, "In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit."

    True enough and that was arguably unethical at the least, but in their defense William Jennings Bryan as the opposition was understandably seen as the harbinger of death to their existence as they knew it. He was a huge populist, progressive and believed in popular democracy (pure mob rule). It was almost a matter of self defense and survival. Unfortunately as you indicate Teddy was the booby prize they could not have foreseen. Ooops!

    One of the most basic constitutional flaws of the ACA is so basic, yet I never hear it presented or argued:
    1) The Commerce clause ONLY applies to activity that crosses state lines and is about "regulating" said interstate commerce. Regulating is not forcing someone to buy a product.
    2) Health Insurance is not now nor has it been purchased across state lines, Insurance companies create "State ONLY" entities where said insurance is ONLY purchased by from that Sate isolated entity, therefore there is NO interstate commerce to regulate meaning the ACA in itself is a complete fraud.

    I do not blame the Supreme Court, since it is not their job to argue the points one way or another, only make a determination based on what "IS" argued.

    That in itself which I have never heard argued by these alleged Constitutional Scholars has been very disappointing.

    What is the difference between what 'counterfeiters' do when they 'spend' in our economies, and US Treasury spending backed only by zeros printed on bonds that are only ever paid back by the promise of Congress to authorize the printing of even more zeros on future paper bonds? Economically, morally, or however you want to distinguish. If there is a basis other than 'can be', then what is the moral/economic/ethical 'should be' that governs the 'may be' of this action?

    We prosecute one action, yet claim the other action is 'stimulative.'

    You are correct. The looters' desperate clinging to complete power to dictate our lives was a message of AS, not THE message, but it was THE reason why we should all shrug.
