    There doesn’t seem to be much downside to being caught while engaging in voter fraud or voter intimidation. This needs to change. There should be no leniency and jail time needs to be prohibitory. Furthermore, all those caught engaging in voter fraud must lose their voting rights and any further violation of election laws should result in significant punishment: prolonged jail time, loss of property,….

    Their rationale—irrationale would be a better word—is that if a federal power is not specifically spelled out in the Constitution, well the government doesn’t have it, according to their view of the 10th amendment.

    It’s obvious that the Federalist Papers were not high on the reading list for these socialist morons. James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay wrote the Federalist Papers about what the constitution meant. Madison would know; basically, he wrote the constitution.

    Of course, what the writers of the constitution and the authors of the 10th amendment intended has no meaning to the big gov’t socialists. It just gets in their way.

    Same here. I was deeply disappointed when he couldn’t get any traction, although I understand why the politics basically shut him out. He was ‘only’ a Representative, and he wouldn’t have been able to carry his home state (CA), so most conservatives made other choices that were not nearly as good.

    That was a terrible mistake. If Hunter could have started getting any traction at all, he would have soared. He would have made a great President, especially in a knock down, drag out gridlock fight with Pelosi, Reid and the LSM.

    Indeed.

    The fundamental basis of this Nation’s law was given to Moses on the Mount. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St. Paul. I don’t think we emphasize that enough these days.

    If we don’t have the proper fundamental moral background, we will finally wind up with a totalitarian government which does not believe in rights for anybody except the state.

    The federal government takes money away from the State’s Taxpayers. Then it gives money back to States each according to how strong the State’s Representation in Congress happens to be. If your State doesn’t get a piece of the pie, they are allowing their Taxpayers to get ripped off big time by the federal government for the benefit of other States.

    That is why one State cannot fight the federal government on its own.

    From Kevin Dujan at Hillbuzz:

    If you have not seen it already, Rush, you need to watch Gigi Gaston’s documentary “We Will Not Be Silenced 2008″. I’m featured in a segment on the voter fraud that was committed in the Iowa Caucus back in January of 2008. While I was always aware Democrats use unions and other means to cheat in elections, I never knew the Democrat Party was capable of the large-scale, aggressive, unapologetic fraud it committed on Obama’s behalf all through 2008. In Iowa, I watched Obama’s ACORN and SEIU goons push and shove old people, bully them, and intimidate them when they wanted to vote for Hillary Clinton. I saw scores of Illinois license plates fill the parking lots outside caucus locations, with Chicagoland Obama supporters illegally entering the Caucus sites to vote for Obama and game Iowa for him. Having planned ahead, Obama supporters actually RAN those caucus sites, and held the doors open for all these fraudulent voters to walk right in, without being asked for IDs, where they then took control of the caucuses and bullied the Iowa residents into supporting Obama — lest they be called RAAACISTS! out in the open in front of their friends and neighbors in those open-air caucuses.

    In making your point you have made the Conservative point.

    The Creator grants us life, liberty, and the freedom to pursue happiness. Government’s role is to insure that those rights are never taken away by other men. The Constituion of the Confederacy MANDATED slavery. It was unconsitutional for a state to opt out of it. The Jim Crow era occurred when unconstitutional laws were allows by judges that took away the inalienable rights of some Americans.

    In each instance government was the instrument of tyranny.

    Whenever the left accuses the right of wrongdoing, it’s almost always the very thing of which they themselves are guilty!

    But, they know that the best defense is a good offense,
    so they vociferously accuse the right of the wrongdoing, and historically the right has been so focused on defending themselves that they don’t even realize that the left is getting away with that very wrongdoing!

    But today’s technology brings more transparency, and finally the left is beginning to be held accountable for their wrongs.

    OT – His experience as an artillery Captain probably made him the right guy when contemplating an invasion of Japan. He was threatened with court martial for firing out of sector (and taking out German artillery batteries) during a four day battle that was described as a “cemetery of unburied dead”. Interestingly, Battery D under his command suffered no deaths in combat and was considered a lucky place to serve.

    BTW – don’t we all keep our diaries in Latin?
