Is that legal?
Kindly address “Admission by Silence” in view of “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.”
It looks like remaining silent can be used against you and speaking can be used against you.
My purpose on this thread is the same as you: to voice my opinion, without consulting you first for permission.
Does that upset you? Good. We have not devolved into the Obamanation yet, so I can say or do as I please.
Lifetime appointments - so that they can be invited to the best cocktail parties and schmooze with the Left. You’ve heard their recent decisions: international law must be taken into account over the Constituion; McCain-Feingold-Thompson is now law of the land, for what that’s worth; among others.
REMF like me, eh? Better me than someone like you, just another Internet Rambo hiding behind his keyboard and my body armor. I call you coward.
I do understand what you are saying and in many ways I agree. It will not happen in the way so many believe. It may not happen at all, and if it does it will not be anyone we actually like who starts it. They will be the poster children for who you don’t want your children to be. What happened at Waco and Ruby Ridge is an example. These are not admirable people and even if they, were they would not be portrayed that way in any media.
The conservative pundits will not back any group that rebels against the government no matter how illegitimate that government is. Those who do rebel are going to be utterly reviled by the majority of Americans and the ones who are willing to face that will be the first to break ranks. Fools, criminals, outcasts and losers are the ones who often start civil conflicts and revolts. So in fact some of the internet warriors you disparage may turn out to be part of those who do act. No one will really know until the day comes.
The military IMO will act against these domestic rebels who WILL commit atrocities. This is a civil war/conflict we are talking about and they are brutal and bloody affairs. The former Yugoslavia is the sort of conflict we are talking about with the rebels assigned the role of the villainous Serbs. The government will have the power, organization, internal security forces, and the military at its call. It will be a long drawn out and vicious affair and the ideals of those who begin it will likely mean much less by its end due to the course of events which will acquire a life of their own.
To avoid even the possibility of something like that every effort should be taken. I believe the court cases will ultimately fail and Obama will be sworn in regardless of what the constitution says. Too many people simply don’t care. If it is revealed afterwards that he is ineligible they will refuse to impeach him and will in all likelihood pass legislation to make their usurpation of power legal. Given that, I still think even a remote chance is better than none at all.
That, I fear, will be the final outcome.
Good for you, autumnraine! You know what they say—lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
Kevmo, an admission is admissable to prove the truth of the matter stated, with the issue being Obama’s qualification—or not—under Article Two of the US Constitution.
As a political matter, I think Rahm is advising Obama to “brazen it out” until he’s dug-in in the WH, having seen how difficult it is to blast a scoundrel out.
Sarge, don’t get your panties in a twist. I’m just saying, if you don’t want to buckle then stay the hell out of our path—don’t screw with our field of fire. Or just come right out, switch sides, go over to DU and join the Obama sheeple.
I have two ancestors (their children married) who signed the Bradford Accord....When that didn’t work they joined up. One served at Valley Forge the other at Fort Pitt....They were both young men, leaving wives, babies and crops in the fields to give me my freedom....
I’m too old and not well enough to fight, but I’ll certainly do what their love ones at home did....PRAY.
PS I figured you were a REMF
And I had you pegged for a coward, with the rest of your boyfriends.
We’re or were being manipulated. Read this (and save to your hardrive):
(FYI Axelrod’s first job was writing for a small communist local paper in Chicago.
“I’m too old and not well enough to fight, but I’ll certainly do what their love ones at home did....PRAY.”
Your family history sounds wonderful. I have no doubt that under the right circumstances you would offer food and a warm bed.
The term “We the Sheeple” is more factual than any of us would want to believe. The people in this country want to be ruled, not Governed. They proved it on November 4, 2008.
lj, is Old Sarge on your list of CoLB Trolls?
ping for later
Searching for Obama and yearbook on Ebay finds only a highschool yearbook. Seems there should be somebody selling a college yearbook.
So that’s all ya got, just a bunch of insults. Nothing of substance to contribute to the thread, like a typical Saturday night alcoholic who probably can’t think straight even when he’s sober. So we heard your opinion, everyone has one, just like everyone has an anal orifice and you happen to be one. You get to do as you please and I get to do as I please and the lurkers get to decide who is contributing positively to the thread. I notice that so far, all of the CertifiGate trolls won’t answer the stuff about the constitution and they sidestep the issue of what their motives are. What a bunch of wusses, needing the MSM to validate whatever should be thought today.
Good for you, autumnraine! You know what they say—lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.They always forget the fourth option: side on the sidelines and watch people make fools of themselves.
You know, modern pharmaceuticals have done wonders for a vast number of physiological limitations. Please think of this a PSA.
I might as well make it my tagline.
