THAT is why our government is supposed to be limited. That is the brilliance of the Constitution, the ideas contained in it were far more brilliant than any one of the individuals who wrote or contributed to it.

They weren't trying to create a society where everything was equal, except justice under the law for individuals and their property.

The success of the Ron Paul campaign with young voters, which David Sirota pointed out in Salon Monday, is but the latest example of how Americans can be persuaded to support the most reactionary politicians in America when they’re suitably manipulated

He didnt need to, becuase a) Obama isnt trying to get into the White House and b) isnt a nutbag with "out-of-the-box" ideas that only work in theory.

and Obama's out-of-the-box healthcare ideas only works in theory too. so does his bail outs.

If the current set of policies in general aren't working...then doesn't the "only works in theory" meme apply to them as well? Check poverty statistics since welfare started, test scores and minority literacy rates since the DoE started, drug use/dependancy since the War On Drugs started.......

Just because it is accepted that many of our policies are well intended, doesn't mean they actually meet the burden of proof in terms of efficiency or results.

You can't vote. All you can do is interject your opinion...which has pretty much been outed as that of a lunatic, since you want a supercomputer deciding who lives and dies. lol

Where did I say that???

You are not going to make others take you seriously in a discussion if you exhibit such complete disregard for facts and willingness to distort other people's views in such a way
