Maybe it's just me?

How does this sound?

"The Constitution is basically a restraint on government; it's not a mandate on government."

Comments on what I put in quotes?

True or false

There is a reason it starts out "We the people . . ." not "They the rulers".

Greg, I am so disgusted with current events and the past events, its pitiful, as a country we really should be ashamed, we were a beacon for the world, Id like to hear some of the opinions of our fellow friends oversea's.....I bet they are chuckling

when your Mother calls you crying saying she took a 50% hit, i worked all my life for you boys, and then the taxpayer picks up the burden? im so fcin pissed off, we went down to city hall to have our real estate taxes re-evaluated here at the business..yeah right, it was appraised close to the 7 digits 4 years ago with the business and a recent appraisal came in at less than half, i really think the taxes should be adjusted

Well put Bruce.

Greg,
The Constitution is a mandate to government.
Our Founding Fathers feared the power of government. The Constitution defined the proper role of government and reigned in the size and scope of government.
I would call our current situation treasonous. Our money/power hungry/vote buying legislators have sworn to uphold the Constitution...maybe they should read it!
I say we should run them all out.

They won't even read the cap and tax bill they're trying to shove through.

Cal your congressmen...PLEASE!

Riley, then its time to cut some spending down at city hall, im sick of paying. I cut back so can they

allright Luch, how do you view the US and Americans currently, be honest. I'll be honest, I made many trips to south America in the 90's and i got the feeling that Americans were idolized and all the guys I worked side by side with, all of them dreamed of going to America and making a million dollars, and the addage is true they all wanted me to meet thier sisters, really, in hopes i would take them back with me...I explained to these guy's its no different up here than it is down there, you have to work your ass off up here as anywhere else, the ones that got rich easily, are the ones that took money and kinda created the mess this country is in, it was alot of greed and corruption and thats why I asked how you feel now about the US compared to a few years ago...as i said be honest you wont hurt anyone's feelings and maybe you can enlighten us....do you view the US as a beacon for the world as once it was?

Cap and tax barely got through the house...better call your senators!!!!!!!!

Greg, What? ive been paying to close attention to MJ's death to even worry about government problems, FF too, Im glued to the fin TV for new developments

confuse and conquer, pre-occupy our thoughts with BS, while they slip it into you

BTW, MJ, oxy contin flu?

Greg, The people of Massachusetts LIKE Barney Frank, & Ted Kennedy & John Kerry & the rest of the pols that represent them. Funny thing is, I've yet to meet someone from down there that will admit to voting for any of them, but the always get re elected.
