I do wish there were more like you who will stand up for what is right. Certainly we see so many violating OUR Constitution and need to be called on it. They need that education and i am praying that these elected officials will never again violate their oaths to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution they took that oath for, the whole purpose of their job.

Again i Thank You so much for that and all you have done and do.

I hope someday that I will be able to meet this “honorable” young man and to look him directly in his eyes and say to him, “I hope to have a son like you one day. Thank you for serving our country. God Bless you!”

OF COURSE they do not want free speech.

You were magnificent in your demeanor and the context of what you were saying. What pleased me most was the way people recognized your common sense and rallied around you.

People must begin to realize the truth and I do believe more eyes are opening up but they do not know where to turn to find strength and support and leadership that might seem too far out for them.

You could do it! Well done.

See http://www.objectivistcenter.org/cth–730-Interpreting_Constitution_Contextually.aspx for a details analysis of By David Mayer which compares and contrasts the limitations of both the loose constructionist view and the strict constructionist view. If you have an open mind and a curious intellect you will read this.

Gee! I guess I wasn’t spitting out media propaganda. Instead I have informed opinion and recognize there are many philosophies for approaching the interpretation of the constitution. Plus, I don’t think you are a traitor just because you don’t agree with me.

and as far as the active duty ‘politician’ Capt. is concerned, wow how brainwashed!
The only job of the federal government is to pay our bills and provide for the common defense.
Not to be a nanny state.
Anyone who does not see that has neither read the entire document, nor studied our history, but instead repeats the talking points of media propaganda.
What a shame!

A government big enough to give you everything is also big enough to TAKE away everything!

Typical ‘ends,’
predicted by a Scottish history Professor of Civilizations at graduation in 1787:

“A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only
exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury.
From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money
form the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always Collapses over
Loose Fiscal Policy, always Followed by Dictatorship.”

Thomas MaCaulay stated it differently:
“Your Republic will be fearfully plundered and laid waste by Barbarians in the twentieth (21st) century,
with this difference:
The Huns and Vandals who ransacked Rome were from without,
and your Huns and Vandals will come from within your Own Country,
and be Engendered from Within by Your Own Institutions.”

I am not trying to convince you of anything. My posts are mainly to counter your misunderstanding of our supreme law for the benefit of those who might have accepted your reasoning, unchallenged. You have made up your mind, and neither of us are going to budge. I am content to let those who read our exchange make up their own minds. If we continue this, we have nowhere to go but name calling. Good day, sir.
