I believe it was about 33%. obama polls over 40%. I’m not going anywhere, but the fight will not be easy.
Sorry Laz, ol’ buddy, but I have to refer you to the Missus for mixed metaphors...I can’t hold a candle to hers.
Now, that’s no metaphor. ‘Breaking the win,” would be expressing it metaphorically.
Laz,
Nice job, as usual.
(Any word on your missing car?)
:)
My latest work. If you like my editorial stuff, you CAN ask to be on the ping list, y’know... ;)
Oh. I thought that was a “pun.” And there is a death penalty for puns. And mimes.
Missing car is missing. :/
Thank you so much for your insightful essays, dear Lazamataz!
And I'm still waitin' for that somebitch.
:) Thank you sweetie!
(Sorry, Laz, don't wanna hijack your thread, but a BUMP oughta be useful, no?!)
You don’t put mustard on pudding, especially pudding this well thought out.
Actually, he wrote: “handsome for a hunchback”.
You don’t put mustard on pudding, especially pudding this well thought out. ... You make hay with the water under the bridge while the grasshopper plays, then the jaws of the wolf snap closed and all the kings horse and maidens can’t egt the paddle back in the boat.
Well, I say, I’d better get back on the wagon or I’ll miss the boat!
I know its a stretch...
The only “good” thing about Buckwheat getting re-elected is that we will have time and history on our side to get our ducks in a row and impeach the second democrat POTUS in less than 20 years. The blue dress and diddling interns (all the while used as a distraction for military/political jockeying) wasnt a big enough blip on the radar, but the latest batch of high crimes would hopefully end him and a few of his friends up behind bars, and with it should go the hopes and dreams of the Democratic party in this country.
We did it once ! We can do it again !!
Kudos, bro!
Plain and simple, Obama's world view, derived from the ideas in which he immersed himself earlier, is at odds with and in direct conflict with our written Constitution's strict and severe limits on the power "the People" allow its elected representatives to possess.
"The People," who, according to Justice Story's "Commentaries on the Constitution. . . ," are the "only KEEPERS", of that Constitution must, themselves, understand those limits and bounds on coercive power in government, or they may be hoodwinked into temporarily yielding up their constitutional rights to what George Washington described as a leader "more artful" than the rest.
In this President, we see an "artful" individual who is using every semantic trick and ideological maneuver he can come up with to extend his "reign" and to break the "chains of the Constitution" (Jefferson) on his power.
Thus, the use of that powerful and destructive appeal to the human capacity for "envy" and division of the voters, pitting those who have less against those who have more material possessions, because he understands that the numbers of potential votes among those of the former exceed those of the latter.
All the while he pulls this magic trick in the media, he is, himself, especially enamoured of the very "rich" "millionaires and billionaires" whom he castigates before the general public. Check out his black tie fund-raising parties. They are not conducted among people of ordinary income, even though he also "envies" even the poor people's "contributions" to his power grab attempt.
"Equality before the law" is the great principle underlying America's Constitution.
The President's utopian view is of a forced equality which reduces all to a level of mediocrity well known throughout history and in the modern world.
Americans should hold fast to the Founders' ideas of liberty instead of allowing its leaders to plunge it into European-style socialism. To do that, however, they will have to reclaim their rightful place as the authors and only KEEPERS of the Constitution--a document too sacred and precious to the cause of liberty to be entrusted to elected officials.
