I always love people who can write in safety and bitch about something like the Patriot Act. Most ironic.

Please note that after five years in existence a Democrat controlled Congress, reaffirmed. Darn….wonder why?

Because Bush was presocializing the country. The Democrats know a good power grab when they see one.

It’s been on the books for 8 years and no one’s made a serious attempt to over turn it, just whine about it. In fact the Obama administration is taking that ball and running with it in the biggest power grab since Stalin offed Lenin.

So as usual your point is pointless.

Actually allowing you to escape a middle-aged, late-term, partial life abortion merits unconstitutionality in my book moron!

Typically, Congresses and Presidents enact legislation in times of war that bend the Constitution. Bush enacted the Patriot Act in the war on terror. The democrats enacted the “bonus tax” in their war on freedom and capitalism.

By the way has anyone else heard something about how banks are using their TARP money not to start making loans again but to buy MORE of the toxic assets they supposedly need to be getting rid of, now that the gov’t and taxpayers will be buying them all up?

I can’t remember where I read that.

set standards that would determine whether a bonus is “unreasonable or excessive.”

The House Financial Services Committee adopted the measure by voice vote, paving the way for a floor vote as early as next week.

In other words, the bonus will be unreasonable and excessive if a proscribed proportion isn’t “reinvested” into the campaign of, say, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee. Who could that be?

The Patriot Act is a bigger example.

lgm: So, are you saying that since this latest kerfuffle is not as unconstitutionsl as the PA, you won’t campaign just as hard to punish those who passed and signed it as you did those who passed and signed the PA?

Further, don’t tell me the PA has or ever will come close to grossly impacting our society like the socialistic tripe called a bailout plan will!

I was actually looking toward retiring in 5 years or so, now I will likely get to retire when they carry me out feet first! Then my kids and grandkids and their kids will still be paying for this long after you and I are dust.

Yes, we are reacting but is it enough? How do we get on a United footing and begin taking preemptive action? Nobody can convince me that this much government control is not a blatant violation of our Constitution. Our Constitution does not GIVE us anything but limits what government can do to infringe upon our rights.

I have no doubt that our SCOTUS will be complicit in this takeover of our nation by these thugs. No matter what they may say or how they may attempt to justify it with International Law, it does not automatically become constitutional. This is a very direct and very real assault on everything that has made America great. The fact that so many Americans are willfully going along with it is further proof that there needs to be some serious changes in the electoral process but the government has to be completely restructured first.

I see very few Republicans and no democrats actively contesting any of this war on the American way of life and that scares me more than anything. The Tea Parties are a great beginning but like tea parties past, they are only a beginning. I do not personally fear what is coming to pass but I fear what it will mean for our children to learn first hand. This is going to get a whole lot worse before it ever gets any better.
