The final desperate battle cry of the liberal - "We have woads!"

[logical4u]

Not everyone wants to live like yokels driving on dirt roads in rusted pickups and farmalls bitching about "da libs" as an excuse for their miserable existence in towns with more cows than people.

Some people like things such as infrastructure, paved "woads", highways, modern transportation systems, and other things the rest of the developed world has.

Why does it take 20 years to lay a stretch of one mile of road? Hint: UNIONS! Governement workers!

And we're all for roads, but that's a pretty small pice dont ya think?

Yes, it's all the unions fault that yokels in the south still drive on dirt roads and have the intelligence of 3rd graders

"The south" is where a lot, a LOT of union workers went when they were laid off during the last great socialist President, Jimmy C. They went south, and contributed to societies that didn't have all the "niceties" that northern cities did. Some of the old ladies complain about it, but when you ask them how they like their taxes, they admit they are willing to "rough it".

Wonder how many northerners go south to play, and think the standard of living is far less expensive, but scratch their heads as to the reason why? They don't consider the southerners do not like big gov't, it means there is more money for individuals to spend on what they want, not what the gov't thinks they should buy.

Which case ruled that?

Or is it just your opinion?

Check and mate

What are the first three words of the Constitution?

I think it's "We The People" and you think it's "We the Lawyers."

And even funner is your view that government said that government can do those things, so check and mate.

Government does do those things and has been doing so for 75 years. Not a single case found it in violation of the tenth amendment

As a US Citizen, you are welcome to challenge the Constitutionality. Until such time it is well within the scope of the Constitution

Check Mate and Bitch Slap

All you did is repeat the fallacy I pointed out the first time.

I'm arguing that after "We The People" eventually you get to the 10th Amendment which says everything not explicitly authorized to the Federal government is prohibited to the Federal government.

You say because government, the supreme court, says government can ignore that, it's OK. And you consider that a "bitch slap" victory.

Government saying what government can do is a devastating victory in your mind. Never, are you to refer to anyone else as a "sheep" again. You're a slave by choice.

You "live" on a dirt road apparently a long way from paved roads?

Yet you have cable? wifi? telephone lines? How far from a fire hydrant? Sewer lines? Gas? Electric power?

What if your house catches on fire?

What if you invent something?

What if you travel to a foreign country and get detained?

Do you exchange your time for U S Dollars?

Do you eat ANYTHING that you do not grow yourself? What protects you from eating something poisonous?

So...you will never need to call a cop or bother anyone else with an unplanned visit to an emergency room?

Dirt woads are overwaited. Gravel roads are crap. Crushed shale with oiled pea gravel bare minimum.

So our choices are no government or no limits to government. You sat there, typed that out, and you thought it was a good argument? Seriously?

Since businesses benifit more from our public infrastructure, they should pay for most of it.
Thye ability to inexpensively move goods and services is what makes business possible

In my businesses currently I employ roughly 25 people and even in the dreadful, endless Obama recession we're growing. They drive to work every day, but that's on me? I not only have to pay for their salary, but I have to pay for the roads they drive on because their jobs primarily benefit me not them? I have to pay for the police to protect the 25 of them and me and my wife and two daughters because that benefits me more than them? The military benefits the four of us more than the 25 of them? Obamacare, the social welfare state, social security, medicare all benefit me more than them?

So I am the one who puts my money on the line, it's my car in the parking lot when everyone's gone, I'm the one who'll go bust if we fail and I get nothing unless we make money. They get a steady paycheck through the whole thing. But I'm the one who benefits more from them, so I should pay for most of it.

I just like highlighting the bullshit Democrats spew so others will see it. If you were capable, you wouldn't say that crap in the first place. You have no idea what business owners go through, clearly. What you should be saying is, "thank you." I'm not holding my breath...

 

[P@triot]

Can you point to a single case where it was ruled unconstitutional?

And here we go again with the left having ZERO understanding of the U.S. Constitution. It doesn't matter what gets "ruled". The Constitution does not give the Supreme Court the power to rule on the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court only has the authority to rule on the bills/laws as they apply to the Constitution.

It is astounding how ignorant the left is of the most important document in world history.

 

[P@triot]

Local governments cant afford ten miles of interstate. We tried that before Ike and ended up with a hodgepodge of interconnected roads. Pure bedlam to drive anywhere

Oh well... Making the case that it's ok for the federal government to unconstitutionally get involved because local government "can't afford it" is like saying rape is ok if you want a girl and she's not interested.

Your analogy makes absolutely no sense other than you have some kind of rape fantasy

It makes perfect sense and you know it. And since you can't defend you ignorant comment after that analogy, you're forced to avoid the conversation all together.

At the end of the day, not having the ability to get what you want (ie money for roads or sex from a woman) does not make it ok to break the law (ie have the federal government pay for it or rape the woman). We have laws and that is the bottom line. You lose ignorant liberal.

 

[P@triot]

Local governments cant afford ten miles of interstate

So the ... Eisenhower ... Interstate highway system building roads which ... are ... in the Constitution as a Federal power is a reason to elect Democrats to spend trillions building a social welfare state which isn't in the Constitution.

Makes as much sense as you calling yourself "rightwinter" ...

Social welfare is perfectly within the realm of the Constitution.

Can you point to a single case where it was ruled unconstitutional?

By the way, just because liberal Supreme Court judges abuse the courts authority and allows unconstitutional socialism to proceed does not make something constitutional any more than OJ Simpson being found "not guilty" makes him innocent.

National Road - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Cumberland Road (National Road) was the first major improved highway in the United States to be built by the federal government. The approximately 620-mile (1,000 km) long National Road provided a connection between the Potomac and Ohio Rivers and a gateway to the West for thousands of settlers. When rebuilt in the 1830s, the Cumberland Road became the first road in the U.S. to use the new macadam road surfacing.[1]

Construction began heading west in 1811 at Cumberland, Maryland, on the Potomac River. It crossed the Allegheny Mountains and southwestern Pennsylvania, reaching Wheeling, Virginia (now West Virginia), on the Ohio River in 1818. Plans were made to continue through St. Louis, at confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, and to Jefferson City upstream on the Missouri. Following the panic of 1837 however, funding ran dry and construction was stopped at Vandalia, Illinois, after crossing the states of Ohio and Indiana.

• I drive nearly every day on unpaved, dirt paths. It doesn't effect my day in any capacity whether it's dirt or pavement and the idiot liberal has been incapable so far in explaining their obsession with pointing out "roads" as an excuse for their socialism.
  
  
• Liberals sound like children with Down Syndrome. "We have woads". Ok? Good. Good. But what does that have to do with a businesses success? "We have woads". Yes, I know we do. But what difference does that make? "We have woads". Look - your defeating yourself here. Since everybody has access to those same roads, wouldn't everybody be successful multi-millionaire business owners if roads had anything to do with anything?!? "We have woads". Ugh!!! Go watch Barney. "Otay.... We have woads".
  
  
• Liberals can't even understand that roads are built by local government with local taxes while we're discussing the federal government. Their argument is so weak and pathetic, they can't even make one for the level of government we're discussing.
  
  
• Liberals also can't imagine being self-reliant. If government doesn't care for and coddle them like an infant, they fear they would die (and they probably would as lazy as they are). It's beyond their capacity to comprehend us conservatives that are self-reliant and will succeed out of sheer will, regardless of the circumstances. We would never let a little thing like no road stop our prosperity. We'd just drive right over the grass/dirt/rocks/etc. (gasp! imagine that?!?!?)
  
  
• Liberals are killing themselves with the dumbest argument ever. If it wasn't for government and roads creating prosperity, how do they explain how we even got there? There were no paved roads in 1776. And there was no government either when we declared our independence from England. And yet all we did was thrive into the most prosperous nation in world history. It was businesses, without roads or government that paid the taxes which built the roads that you now obsess over like children with Down Syndrome!

I know, I know....... "we have woads". That's all you can say and that is all you will respond with.

Funny how the federal government takes from the 51% who pay taxes, invests their money in roads, then has the nerve to scorn the very people who paid for them; as if the 49% who don’t pay taxes paid for those federal roads. This is classic Barack Obama socialist workers of the world unite rhetoric. In Obama’s populist socialist mind, the worker holds true title to the ownership of businesses, corporations, and factories. Not the investors, not the business owners, and not the inventors, but the workers. Not the men who take all the risk, putting their finances and livelihood on the line and working the long hours to ensure that its managed properly, but the common worker who lacks the talent, the drive to save up for his own business, and the knowledge, else he would already have a business of his own. Not the owner of a business who doesen''t hold himself to the work/saftey regulations that he holds for his employees.But the worker, who, in Obama's mind has the right to collectivly make demands of pay, horurs, and benefits to the business owner as if they owned it without being fired. We are all equal in an Obama world where no one man is more exceptional than another. Where intelligence and experience has no weight and egalitarianism wins the day. Where the hardest workers are no better than the laziest worker. Where the lazy worker must be given the same advancement as the hardest worker. Where those who pay for the roads are ridiculed for using the roads they paid for. It is truly an Obama world.

What an ignorant rant. Infrastructure is paid for by gas taxes and tolls. Take a civics course you fucking moron.

You're an idiot Bfgrn who has no idea what he's talking about (but then everyone knew that already). Furthermore, even if you were right for once (and you're not), do you really believe that people who aren't paying taxes because they don't have an income are purchasing signifcant amounts of gasoline or every paying to use a "toll road"?

No stupid, they are sitting at home smoking pot, shooting heroin, and doing crack. Basically, they are being like you - parasites that are a burden to society.

Lets also not forget the federal government doesn't fund to build roads - roads are funded by local governments hence the taxpayer.... That's why people pay property taxes and other municipal taxes.....

HaHa. You want to see the intelligence of a 3rd grader. Take a look at your nitwit leader. And by saying 3rd grader we are actually giving him extra credit.
