Tell Us Everyday what We should, Think, Say, Do , Wear. Roosevelt had nothing over Jefferson or Madison. You really Really suck in American History.
what the hell are you on about?
does your 'superior' history tout madison's economic policies as a laudable model?.. or are you talking out of your ass?
I didnt think you'd venture to compare madison's 18th century economics to anything afforded consideration of the century after that... to your credit. (note paranoia highlighted above)
yes, indeed. profound paranoia.. right in line with what is highlighted above.Is it paranoia that I see a Statist take over of a Constitutional Republic?
empowerment through opportunity, in short.What is the progressive stance on the Individual?
mutually, commodities to the collective, when looked at as commodities at all. so, yes.Are we anything more than commodities to the Elite?
perhaps to relinquish any social guidance in lieu of freedoms, and at any expense, however, all politics being progressive, liberal progress is often a juxtaposition of conservative progress. politics taking presidence over principle, leadership picks and chooses restrictions and freedoms as they afford popular or financial support. in the end, nothing comes without cost and ideologies squabble over who's to bear it.What is the progressive POV on Unalienable Right or Conscience?
your position, like a typical politician's, assumes you know at whose expense, and how best to be progressive...
The impositions We place on Each Other, in many cases are unjustified and beyond measure, more than We can account for, and address. The key here to maintaining was well defined Enumerated Power.
well defined enumerated power? what is your take on unalienable right? doesnt your history enlighten you to what your hero, madison, felt about enumeration of rights?
buddy, cause for legislation is shown in the often exhaustive debate that precedes voting. then, resolutions are prefaced with a statement of cause. this talking out of your ass is a theme?Do We show cause anymore when We legislate? Do We limit and tailor, adapt to circumstance? No. We decree without consent, awareness, or understanding.
the constitution's provision for legislatures of the people's (recent) election is the only consent and accountability for circumstance which our government empowers. what do you want, to amend referendums into our government?
as for awareness and understanding, politicians are only humans imperiled by their level of popularity and political/financial allegiances. despite that, i think some shine through as being aware and informed about a few issues, severally. you're welcome to do better yourself, however, you sound like you are more the type to gripe and whine about freedoms, than to realize them.
..or at least write a book about your hogwash. you're good at making titles for them....Higher Authority than Government... Consequence Dictates otherwise... The Course is Not Right... The evidence is all around Us... Call it Paranoia if You must... It is My Position....There are no Free Passes.
