Do you even understand what the purpose of the constitution was? - Oh, right - so the Illuminati can take over the world with thier lizard people.
If you want freedom, you must remove the means by which you are enslaved.
Workers of the world Unite!
So, tell me - who is in charge in your Utopian Society? What powers do they wield? Do they ride Unicorns?
Expressing your belligerence toward me advances your cause not at all.
Expressing your tomfoolery as something to be taken seriously advances my level of astonishment quite a bit!
Now, would you like to debate this like an adult, as has been done in this thread til now - or do you insist upon inflamatory speach?
> Do you even understand what the purpose of the constitution was?
The purpose of the 1789 constitution was to undermine the Revolutionary War. Mercantilists wanted a government powerful enough to deny cheap European-made manufactured goods to the American people — the actual original purpose of the commerce clause — so they sold out on slavery and on the expropriation of the frontier to forge a rent-seeking coalition large enough to undo the Revolution. Thus did we set America on the course to Rotarian Socialism, the mutual-corruption kleptocratic society we have today.
Inlookers: Freedom means freedom FROM GOVERNMENT. Nothing else. If you want to be free, you have to eliminate as much government as you can — much as the enemies of freedom have enlarged the role of government in every way they could.
Getting in bed with temporizers like the Republicans is how your freedom was sold out from under you in the first place. “An.American.Expatriate” is doing you a favor by showing you how they’ll do it to you again — not that the Republicans will come anywhere close to “reforming” the commerce clause.
If you don’t want 2010 to be a repeat of 1994, your political philosophy should consist of one word: Cut.
Cut taxes.
Cut regulation.
Cut spending.
Cut the deficit.
Cut legislation.
Cut the language in the constitution that made this evil leviathan possible.
Cut the government down to size — and then keep cutting, forever.
This was the mistake of 1776, not continuing to cut down the state’s dominance of innocent Americans. Anyone who speaks of somehow “perfecting” government is a statist, and he will turn on you just as the Hamiltonians did.
