Hitting the sack now, but I will check in tomorrow to see if you have answered my two simple questions:
1. Do you believe in Original Intent?
2. Can you name even one Founder who would have agreed with your belief that the First Amendment covers pornography?

"Your post above is a total twisting of my words, and I won't even make the attempt to separate my words from your strange additions to my words..."
-ev-
I made no additions to your words, nor did I 'twist' them. I responded to your posted comments, point by point.
Obviously, you cannot counter. - So be it.

Welcome to Free Republic. Here's an old Free Republic line, slightly off from what you were asking, though.
What's the difference between a Democrat and a Communist?
Communists know what they're doing.
To: Craig1972
The Democrat Party was usurped by the Socialists. They kept the same party name.

The Founders had a clear idea of the difference between right and wrong. They set up a system of government that allowed that understanding to be worked out in the real world...a world folks like you aren't familiar with, it would seem.
Modern Libertarians are either unable or unwilling to understand what those great men meant when they used the word 'liberty'.
Thinking like yours has broadened the meaning of liberty to include license, and our country is worse for it.

Had the Founding Fathers seen what we call pornography, they would have denounced it as a "mortal sin" and "blasphemous in the face of God!". IMHO

Your assertion that government has no right to decide what is evil and legislate against it remains, and will always remain, bilge.
To: txradioguy
Indeed, you are correct.
If they saw the sewage that certain people are making merchandise of in our country today under the cover of the First Amendment that they wrote, there would be a revolution! ;-)

Whatever.
Get some rest, and someday, -- learn how to present an argument.

Whatever. A juvenile non-answer, typical of those who have contempt for others and have nothing intelligable to argue.
Get some rest, and someday, -- learn how to present an argument.
I have presented my arguments here quite clearly, and you all have run away from the key questions.
You are no different from the Leftists. You twist the Constitution and history to suit your own agenda.
Why don't you just be honest and admit that you don't believe in the same form of government as the Founders of America did?

Mr. Tpaine has issues he wants to grow up and be George of the jungle, and live in a lawless society.

I have presented my arguments here quite clearly, and you all have run away from the key questions. Your questions at #63 were answered at 77. Since then you have presented nothing but your unsupported opinion on what you imagine I've said.
Example:
You are no different from the Leftists. You twist the Constitution and history to suit your own agenda.
Total irrational bull, unsupported by anything I've written.
Why don't you just be honest and admit that you don't believe in the same form of government as the Founders of America did?
You are simply out of control. Get a grip on the reality of what I've been posting here at FR for over five years.

For completeness, there's also a fourth party: the Green party seeks to destroy the First Amendment through things like "campaign finance reform" and also seeks to destroy the Second Amendment by means of ever more restrictions on gun owners. You forgot the communist party. Which has many prominent members.

Th GOP leadership does not even know the origin of the elephant symbol. Posters for the Lincoln campaign in 1860 often had elephants, to show our party's unstoppable power. And some old history books do show Whig posters of a jackass-Andrew Jackon wearing a crown. The 1872 Nast cartoon merely popularized symbols which had already been around. It's in the book.

And you and your buddy continue to refuse to answer the simplest of questions.
All I want to know is if you believe in original intent.
Don't even talk to me anymore if you are just going to continue to evade the question.
To: EternalVigilance
All I want to know is if you believe in original intent. Obviously, you can't read. -- See #77 where I answered ~yes~.
Please, don't reply to me anymore if you are just going to continue to insist I am evading your inane questions.
