    Panthercity, Obama cannot invoke Gods powers. His agenda is that he hates America. He wants to elevate the enemies of this country to a non terrorist status. He wishes to spend this country into bankruptcy. He wishes to cause division within its borders with a redistribution plan. He began with his Black Panther like activities as a community organizer, continued with his God Damn America teachings and even in his bedroom he whispers sweet destruction of America into his wifes ears and she giggles and wiggles with delight.

    Actually, it IS true. Completely true. I'd post a link to that very part of the CPAC speech that shows tubby popping off, where he specifically said he wants him to fail at removing capitalism, but it would end in a vacation. It is out there in YouTube if you care to actually get educated on what you're talking about rather than parroting the lefty line.
    And I agree with that part. I would want ANY president to fail at that. Hell, I wanted Bush to fail at expanding welfare and creating the TSA.

    That part is easy enough for a fifth grader.
    The Constitution simply tells the gubmint what powers it is allowed to have. The Tenth Amendment, which is one of the most important then shuts off the tap.
    "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
    Therefore, creating a socialist health care system, nationalizing the banking system, etc. does fly in the face of the Constitution.

    Check your facts Robert. Read the transcript, not the blogs.

    I sure do wish that some of you guys would quit misquoting what Limbaugh said about Obama "failing." Limbaugh never said that he wanted Obama to fail, he just wanted some of Obama's socialistic plans to fail. There is certainly nothing anti-American about that.

    I also see nothing insane about letting some of these banks, and other entities, fail rather than keep piling money on them only to see them fail in the end. What McCain is stating isn't rocket science. Common sense tells you that you don't keep adding money to a company whose own auditors don't give it much of a chance.

    Will this huge stimulus package actually help the economy? I think maybe Saturday Night Live called it right. Put all that money into an account and offer it to the person that can come up with a plan that will work. :D

    Alas, that's even a bigger shame than a lying politician. :(

    The difference is there was no guarantee of being attacked again but if the current economic plan fails so does the country. And watering it down does make certain it will be less effective, and more likely to fail. With economics it isn't a buffet, you can't go left and right at the same time. Limbaugh's comment:

    Self fulfilling prophecies breed like mice. I firmly believe that if we could get the politicians, and the press, to stop talking about how bad the economy is it would start turning around pretty quickly.:beer:

    What! I'm surprised that you missed it. It's on page 45, Section 2, Paragraph 7, article 9, Amendment 99. It states, and I quote, "no Socialism, ever, or else."




    :)

    Huh? Frum is an ultra conservative author, he worked for the Bush admin as an economic speechwriter and is a columnist for the rightwing National Review.

    Sometimes I wonder if you seek out only news that does not challenge your views. :)

    You construe that to prohibit the implementation of a particular socioeconomic policy? Or any socioeconomic policy? :confused:

    On further reflexion, brex, does the 10th Ammendment allow a given state to establish Scocialism? Communism? Marxism? Or any other "ism" the state's voters approve?

    It prohibits the federal government from grabbing any power not laid out to it in the Constitution.
    So yes, any grab of power that isn't there is prohibited. Seriously, it isn't that difficult to understand. Nationalizing of banks is a power grab not allowed in the Constitution. Nationalization of health care is a power grab not allowed in the Constitution.

    Yes, the 10th allows for states to have their own forms of socialist policies, as long as the Constitution of that state allows.
    It's the same thing as abortion, gay marriage, education, etc. There should be no declaration from on high on those things, they should be decided at the state level.
    If the state of Massachusetts, at the state level, wants to reform the health care system in their state to have more government overtones, that is up to the people of the state of Massachusetts. And they did so. But at the Federal level it is prohibited by the 10th.
