Fine philosophical sleight of hand... your “positive” liberty idea includes freedom to squelch a faith by main force rather than by what is the Christian means — displacement. The more such levers, the greater the risk of misuse.

When this country was founded, the northeast was largely Protestant, Maryland Catholic, and the southeast Baptist. The founders saw wisdom in allowing the LIBERTY for each to develop rules within their communities so that they could raise children in an environment reflecting their values. That's why Mennonites, Oneida, Shakers, Mormons, and others chose to build communities.

Apparently you have something against that LIBERTY of free association. Because you see, if one cannot exclude one has no control over one's associations.

This would be a wonderful way of allowing gays, and others to form depraved communities of their own and we'd all get to see the consequences, thus allowing Natural Law to work. It might well be that exclusive religious communities would fail, and we'd learn that too. You would preclude that, which I would call a negative attitude.

TAMU bought the law school from Texas Weslyan in Fort Worth. PERHAPS this lady is a leftover issue. But we will see. I have an Aggie daughter and lots of family Ags and I would hope the school will raise standards and become a solid conservative place to study law. But these are all academic types and their minds circulate in a different way than people in the real world. They begin to believe that their ideas are smarter than even the founding fathers.

I don’t think she is that unattractive. She is dressed nicely, could use some makeup, but her hair looks good. Really, we have seen the type and this woman doesn’t fit even though she may be the type.

You are performing sleight of hand again.

Unlike you I don’t idolize early America just because it was early America.

You might remember the actual and vicious persecution of minority faiths that in fact were Christian but not the style of Christian that the majority wanted.

The gospel was instituted to be sold. Never to be forced.

You have failed to read my post for what it says, preferring to interpret it for what you would prefer to attack.

End tenure.”””

Absolutely-—

Also- END the structure of ‘school boards’ where they mave morphed from being made jup of the local citizens to being only made up of ‘teachers’.

When I ws a kid, the local farmers & homeowners were on the school board. There wasn’t a single ‘teacher’ in any of the slots. THEY carefully looked over every book we would be using. They KNEW the person who might be hired as the teacher, etc.

I will put my grade school & high school education up against any kid today—with the exception of the computer stuff. It didn’t exist then.

I am reading very clearly your intent. You want “freedom of association” in the way that they actually DID it. Which included persecution. And you then say that oh, if persecution is so bad it will fail. Well if murder is so bad it will fail. If rape is so bad it will fail. Why make an exception for persecution?

Liberals are the most closed minded group in the world when it comes to the rights of anyone who opposes them.

This is really embarrassing. I cannot believe TAMU has gotten so liberal. Really, really embarrassing.

Embarrassing that you would judge an entire university by ONE person!

If the place were so bad as you suggest, nobody would go or stay there with a preferable alternative not far away.

Where did you read that I preferred persecution? I preferred LIBERTY. Further, if you think I'm advocating "going back" in whole, then why would I allow any place for in my statements for gays and lesbians? They wouldn't even enter my thoughts as permissible behavior. Just because there were attributes of the original Federalist system I prefer, does not mean I want to set time backward. I do think laws setting aside a non commercial day would be a good thing, but there might be limits that modern reality would set. I'm OK with that.

Really, your bitterness has me all wrong, and your obvious need to attack me betrays your true heart.

Have bunches of friends who send their kids to A & M

Relatively conservative (another bastion of liberalism but in good disguise), great religious center

They tell stories like this and others like ‘my child does not do well in her history class, her teacher doesn’t speak English articulately

I am aghast. I would NOTpay hundreds of dollars per credit for that

Ive seen one too many of these kids wandering around after graduating. No job no good job

College is for the most part third party payer. Parents are idiotic about this paying to have their children brainwashed

Never

I see a possibility here.

When a conservative government has congress and the presidency, it is important to make a crystal clear restoration of the Posse Comitatus Act (different from the common law posse comitatus). The first part is once again the resolute prohibition of the use of military personnel in a police role, except under very strict, temporary situations, affirmed by congress.

But a *new* part of the Act should be groundbreaking.

It should be that all adults of good character, excluding convicted felons and those sharing their dwellings, and those adjudged *in a court hearing* as mentally *incompetent*, are, in effect, law enforcement officers in the jurisdiction of the United States.

In accordance with Common Law, this represents an enabling act to the Second Amendment, *beyond* their natural right to keep and bear arms, for them to have under their personal control, arms and ammunition for their use in the role of Law Enforcement Officers.

As additional justification for this, this is so they may participate in a fully “voluntary muster” by their county Sheriff, the traditional Common Law leader of the posse comitatus, if there is a law enforcement or emergency need in that county. Otherwise, they are free citizens, and as such are expected to “protect and defend” the civil rights of other citizens.

Once the communists like this “professor” repeal the Second Amendment, repealing the First Amendment will be a snap. The Bill of Rights belong to the American people. By repealing them, the government would be breaking its contract with the American people and by doing so, it would be giving the American people the right to remove and replace the government with one that is more America friendly.
