Amazing--same claim again and again that opposing viewpoint isn't able to understand. Just because low class rightwingnuts have difficulty understanding doesn't mean other people do. You who have no education claim people who do have education don't understand? How ironic is that?!! Doushbag says it. Tas says it. Macaroni says it. Pixie says it. Wnat's up with this claim of understanding and not understanding, lack of education, trash and filth talk, and wacko ideas like Obama muslim, Obama c*******t, Obama h**e America, prog/libs as socialists, etc. etc.? It's believed and spouted like an ideology but is just plain loco, weird, wacko. Is it because these people are low class and uneducated with an inferiority complex that they focus on "ability to understand"? Is it a matter of paranoia? It is a most peculiar phenomenon, that's for sure.

Perhaps the most revealing instance of this "ability to understand" obsession with the rightwingnut club was Tas's strange rant about how progs/libs didn't even know that glaciers "slid" down the continent (in relation to prog/lib c*****e c****e positions). "What? You've gotta be kidding me! Everyone with an education knows about the ice age and glaciers...in fact that's the very basis of worries about "c*****e c****e." Why the heck would Tas assume what she knew about glaciers progs/libs wouldn't know? That's strange thinking. That's a small example of what I mean when I refer to the thinking of you rightwingnuts being a******l. It's not just the nutty political conspiracy ideas, it extends to ideas about other people not understanding, other people being spoiled children, blah, blah, blah stupid ideas.

I know, every now and then China posts an argument for going to the IMF as the standard and it's as if the GOP totally ignores how the China argument is always the political uncertainty with paying interest by threats to the debt ceiling. I hope that is all behind us now. The Fed agrees with your assessment - - it's not just the conservative view but the practical view. Although, that had been what the traditional, establishment GOP used to be about. Then all of sudden they reversed course and threatened it. I hope that is behind them and they get back to basics.

True, but the important point is the word "when" which is similar to "if", "could" and "maybe". Currently, and as far as anyone can predict with reason, the US currency is the standard. Until the time comes when investors begin to question it, it is still the standard and they still can't get enough of it. They continue to line up to buy more US debt, lowering the yield. The point is to protect and maintain that status. That is why Boehner, Cantor, Ryan and Paul have committed to never again threaten it which is the same as threatening the full faith and credit of the United States. If they do, they will get the wrath of the financial industry. They now see how ridiculous a political strategy that was. They should be taking actions to strengthen it, not to threaten it. That has been a traditional conservative value and I don't understand the contemporary conservative strategy to depreciate it.

quote=Nuclearian]As an informed American and patriot, I have lived long enough to recognize and identify the ignored liberties and rights of the American people by our government. Our Founding Fathers were students of common sense and history. They knew from the study of past civilizations the inherent nature of man. That inherent nature has shown that when men have unregulated power and authority over other men, they will always abuse that power.

The genius of our founders was that they identified the root cause of the failure and extinction of past governments. They developed a formula to prevent those failures in the future.

To prevent history from repeating its self, a Constitutional Republic was born. America is a Constitutional republic by design and Constitutional guarantee as stated in Article IV Section 4: “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government.”

A Constitutional republic guarantees officials are democratically elected as representatives of the people and that they must govern according to existing Constitutional law. These laws limit government’s power over the people.

The creation of our Constitutional republic was not a fluke. Our Founding Fathers knew that a pure democracy was akin to the monarchy from which the people had fought and died to free themselves.

Our Founders believed that democracy in its pure form is a government system of mob rule where 51 percent of the population will dictate the fate and the rights of the other 49 percent.

Knowing this, our Founders chose a democratic representative system of government also known as a “republican form,” a system of government that governs the people by Constitutional law and not the tyranny of mob rule that many forms of democracy offered. Australia and the United Kingdom have a democratic system of government that allows the citizens to elect officials to represent them but not necessarily represent their wishes.

In the United States the people elect their representatives, who must abide by Constitutional law and the limitations it places on governments control over the people.

All governments — Federal, State, county and city — are created by the authority of the American people. As such, they belong to the people and are to be obedient s***es not only to every word in the Constitution, but the intent and spirit of its creators.

Let’s be very clear on this point: As a Constitutional republic, no government or its representatives at any level can create a law or rule that exceeds the authority given to that branch of government by the Constitution.

Equally important, the same Constitutional standards apply when laws or rules are created that may restrict, impede or deny any citizen the rights Constitutionally guaranteed by our Bill of Rights.

For the first time in history, a blueprint for freedom was created in the form of a Constitution. As recipients of these protected freedoms, all we the people had to do was to be vigilant and actively participate in the republican process.

This would insure the safety of these freedoms, for all future generations to come.

In 1787, our Founding Fathers gave us the greatest gift mortal man could give their fellow man, the gift of freedom guaranteed by a written Constitution and a Bill of Rights.

Thomas Jefferson observed that the natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground. I believe a great example of that would be the Supreme Court’s claiming an authority and power to interpret the people’s Constitution.

In 1803, just 16 years after the creation of our Constitution, the Supreme Court, in my opinion, used the court case Marbury vs. Madison as an instrument to claim the Constitutional authority to interpret our Constitution.

I believe it is important to note: Nowhere in our constitution is the Supreme Court given authority to interpret our Constitution.

In fact, it was no accident these powers were not put in the hands of nine unelected attorneys who would make up the Supreme Court. The major reason was the people’s justified contempt, mistrust and hatred of attorneys, judges and politicians.

History shows clearly the people of America did not ask our Founders to protect us from government’s attorneys, judges and politicians. Instead they demanded protection through our Constitution’s Bill of Rights and the Constitutional protections of a trial by jury.

There is a reason our Founding Fathers did not clearly announce the authority of our Supreme Court to interpret our Constitution in Article III of our Constitution.

Common sense dictates that he who controls the interpretation of America’s Constitution controls the law of the land and, therefore, controls the United States and its people.

Our Founders and the framers of our Constitution were extraordinary men. These men had a vision for the future of this place called America and its people.

Just as important was their knowledge of history and the failures and success of past societies and their governments.

These men were driven in their quest to prevent anything like the king and his Star Chamber courts from ever existing in America. Thus, their mistrust and outright hatred of judges, attorneys and government officials was known far and wide.

They also shared Montesquieu’s theory of the three branches of government: legislative, executive and judicial. They knew and understood that anyone given the duties of one of these offices shall not perform the duties of the other.

They realized when any one person or group of people possessed all three powers freedom would be lost and tyranny would reign supreme.

These extraordinary men, armed with the above knowledge and experience, fought for more than 10 years to create a Constitution and a country that was the envy of the rest of the world. To believe they would then turn it all over to nine unelected government attorneys is taking stupid to a new level.

You only have to look at the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare to understand why our Founders did not give the Supreme Court the authority to interpret our Constitution.

The people of the United States have lost nearly all Constitutional protections, taken for granted for the past 238 years. These protections were removed slowly, one by one, leaving our once-great Nation a “Nation of ignorant sheep.” People forgot true freedom long ago, just like Jefferson predicted they would.

Will our freedoms ever return? Will government officials return to serving the people instead of ruling over them? It is doubtful, but not impossible.

The coming day when citizens of this country are unable to go to the grocery store and fill their carts will be the day we all find out what changes are to take place. I can make the educated guess that none of us will ever live in a true Constitutional republic again.

The fault for this tragedy will lie at the feet of the stupid.

–Curt Chancler

The New York Times says that the loss of millions of jobs lost because of Obamacare is "mostly" a good thing because "the new law will free people, young and old, to pursue careers and retirement without having to worry about health coverage. Workers can seek positions they are most qualified for and will no longer need to feel locked into a job they don't like because they need insurance for themselves or their families. It is hard to view this as any kind of disaster."

In case you are confused by their backward logic, here's what they are saying: It's okay Obamacare caused you to lose your employer provided health insurance and/or your job, because now you are free to pursue the job you really want.

Oh, wait - except Obamacare k**led that job too.

This is for all Democrats that have the initiative to check out anything. This automatically excludes "woofy" because all he can do is lie like his mentor Obummer and call everyone else liars.
