I am still laughing, I only wish it wasn't on the backs of every American. Even the Minions, the millions of lost sheep that see this Omnipotent pseudo leader of the free world Masquerading as a President. Keep waving the F**g of Freedom
"Dutchman" our combined Voices will prevail. I am certain of that..

Yes , Lisa Jackson recently stepped down (Euphemism for being fired) because she was caught using various E-mail accounts under Pseudo names. That was just a Grain of sand on the Beach that is her Background. This is simply just the "Face " the Mass Media put on it. I am positive it goes fathoms deep. Now, back to the DEP of NJ and when she (I will use the term loosely) directed same. It was riddled with corruption, Kickback schemes, fraud, she had the worst track record in the Nation accounting for more than one quarter of all unresolved Superfund clean-ups more than 20 years old. During her Senate Confirmation testimony, she promised that "Science will be the backbone of what the EPA does" However, some of her own Scientists and the EPA's own inspector general said "Jackson did not practice in NJ what she now Preaches."
Why then was she so poignantly touted to Head one of the Largest entities of our Government. (Rewarded) for poor performance.. You might say that. However, the Associated press was much Kinder (Trumpeting) "The First Black EPA chief"
Unfortunately, they missed a major c**p de ta . She was the first Black Female to hold the position.
Concerning Socialism, Anarchy , Tyranny, despotic, omnipotent , demagoguery... Your witnessing history. Where the ill-informed, uneducated, uninformed or 51% of the V****g public agree to be led rather than to lead. 2% is not much room for variance..

Yes, I agree with your observation of the "inane Ranting" on this and hundreds of other sites that inundate the internet. However, I do not fall into that cavern. The upside is I am entertained and enjoy your Op ed. You are quite the wordsmith. Albeit occasionally peppered with condescension. Nevertheless, you are afforded the luxury by our Constitution. (Provided the Alien and s******n acts) are not ever re-instated. To answer your question, yes That movie
was what I was referring to, and yes it did win an Oscar that year. The 68 is for Steve McQueen and the Film that Pioneered American Muscle car racing on film. (Bullit). 68- Mustang Fastback, quintessential American Nostalgia on four wheels. It embodied Gas Guzzling , Carbon footprint fun. I apologize for the digression.
I must address your comment on my Opinions. As I clearly stated. I have quantitative, qualitative , empirical evidence to substantiate my conclusions. Nothing Opinionated about the Facts surrounding Lisa Jackson. Moreover, Van Jones , UN-elected ( Czar) . Just to name a two.
I respect your right to voice your opinions. All I ask is that you substantiate same. I sift through small mountains of Material both left and right , far left "Mother Jones Magazine" "Huffington Post" all your major News outlets, Cnn, etc. Then all your Far Right Michele Malkin, Mark levin, Fox. Somewhere under all the rhetoric I find a Golden nugget of t***h. Better known as Facts.

Kudos for your attempt at objective, fair and Balanced conjecture. Contrary to your sweeping generalizations concerning Conservatives. I see you hail from the same state as Woodrow Wilson. How apropos. One of the founding fathers of the Statist, Progressive, Liberal , Democratic movement. A true Conservative will only validate his ideology and further enforce his perspective with Facts. He will objectively appeal to anyone with unbiased, qualitative, quantitative, informative empirical evidence. Despite , curbing his enthusiasm or sacrificing some of his original intent.
A true conservative will not implore the Minions with "Emotions".
You consistently referred to the term "Rigidity" when describing Conservatives, only reinforcing your hypocrisy. You continually retrieve water from the "Feelings" well regarding Social entitlement programs and agendas. You remember the ones that Wilson, FDR, (The president that had the audacity to change Jefferson's own words "Chiseled in stone on his Memorial" from Unalienable to Inalienable. Somewhat synonymous to your effort. Please don't misconstrue my meaning or intent. I certainly applaud you for your effort. True Constitutional Conservatives painstakingly research the people that OB nominate or in some cases (Czars) appoints.
For example I spent a half hour on a Radio program (4 months) ago, explaining the "Fact" that (Lisa Jackson) was a disastrous Choice to head the EPA. Why, because I researched
her background in "Coincidentally" your home state of NJ.
Needless to say, she no longer holds the chair of one of the fundamentally most corrupt arms of our Government. She conveniently stepped down, after others reported what I already observed. She was not picked for the office for the "Content of her Character". I spent months digging up my facts. I could go on but why bore you.
Aggrandizement is continually appropriated throughout your Monologue/ Diatribe, berating the Conservatives of America with your opinion. I could regurgitate numerous examples, However, you cleverly provide same under the guise and ruse of the "Poor Downtrodden" . Those that are afforded copious amounts of "Free Products and services" in this Free Market Society. I am reminded of Ronald Reagan , when he sent a Video to the Russian Government as propaganda explaining we have poor people in america too. It back fired miserably.. Why?
Because our Poor people were Fat and had TV's and Microwaves in the background of the Videos. What I am trying to explain is (Ronald Reagan ) in my humble opinion is one of the greatest presidents in my generation. And yes even he made mistakes. The only difference is I am prepared to accept and learn from those mistakes..

Joann-
I have often pondered this same predicament. My mother,
bore 7 children and virtually raised them on her own. Albeit, my father was working full time. This was the only reason for his absence. However, they divorced when we all were out of college.
Now my mother is virtually destitute. I see the fundamental flaw in our system from this perspective. Nevertheless, it is not the Governments irresponsibility, to be involved in every economic domestic "Family Issue" . Family being the operative word.
If Family is not available to help. Then (in times past) the immediate infrastructure of the surrounding town, society, neighbors, etc would assist. Involving Government mandate in this scenario as in many others is wrong.

Absolutely, It appears that progressives, Statist, Liberal democrats. Continually fall back on the race card for convenience sake. Unable to have a rational, logical, reasonable discourse concerning the Constitution. The rely on "Deny then Blame".
Jefferson clearly stated, (Even though FDR and even Wkipedia-dictionary fail to recognize) that we were born with "Unalienable rights." Regardless of the color of our skin, sex, religion etc. "Inalienable" . Is what most are referring too. Including the writer you responded to. If most of the rather ignorant, minions 51% cared or could read the Constitution. They too, would be privy to the same information. He might consider precision of Langue for precision of thought.

Cindy-
A pleasure to have another "Voice of reason" to contribute to the ongoing dialogue. I too am new to this site. I will be posting soon about our Constitution. Welcome aboard .

“Liberty is to faction what air is to fire, an aliment without which it instantly expires.”

Is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

I would like to first thank all of you for participating in this informal quest to better understand the objectives of our constitution. Furthermore, by allowing a man (who is clearly not a Wordsmith) to be involved in this reasonable discourse, and view of opinions and facts.
Simply as an introduction I started with a familiar quote. As I will end with one from Plato.

" One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
