Our congress, R, D & Is, have an insatiable appitite for legeslation. Unfortunatly their primary diet is personal freedom. At the core of progressive thinking is the belief that man is perfectable thru legeslation. The brilliance of the founding fathers can be found in the concept of limited government. The intent of the original rule of law was to place the rights of the individual above the desires or demands of the collective.
Rep. King's enthusiasm for legislating morality to protect society sounds like something I would expect to hear out of Saudi Arabia. King's beliefs may be different but his tactics and outcome are the same. Tyranny.
I think Joe and Obama should pull up a chair on the lawn and share a joint. Would probably have a better outcome then with alcohol.
Rep. King, by rule of law do you mean the constitution or all the unconstitutional legislation you and your buddies have passed? You wouldn't know the rule of the highest law of the land if it bit you in the ass.
Legislating morality, who's morality Rep. King, yours? Forced morality through legislation is tyranny. We want freedom from the likes of you.
Let me try to explain this a bit better: Joe Wilson, a elected "SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE" ... people meaning us, while listening to another elected SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE, Mr. Obama, caught Mr. Obama lying to his bosses ... that means us. Joe Wilson threw a yellow flag on the play and called foul! Mr. Obama isn't royalty, he isn't a dictator, and he certainly isn't an Emperor. Mr. Obama is a Public Servant. I don't care if he is blue from the planet Vulcan, if he is lying to us, I want to know!
The point of the matter is that there was an honorable way for Joe Wilson to express his views that don't disrespect the office and break the rules of the House.
If Obama is lying, there are more diplomatic ways of dealing with it than ad hominem.
Are you people braindead or just so uninformed about what's really going on that you are ignorant of the facts? Obama said that the Health Care Bill would not cover illegal aliens; however, there is nothing in the bill to prevent them from receiving it. The Democratic Congressmen have blocked any attempts to put amendments into the Bill disallowing this, and Democratic Senator Chuch Schumer had planned to introduce Comprehensive Immigration Reform AMNESTY this week. DUH!!!!!
I wouldn't have minded that Joe Wilson screamed LIAR, if he wasn't so wrong about what he had accused Obama is lying about. In fact, Joe's screaming LIAR was itself a LIE!
Since he's been respectful in the past, Wilson must be justified in his disrespect. Great logic. That means almost every single murder in this country is justified, since those who committed the murder had never done anything like that before. It was out of character. So, it must have been that victims provoked their murder. Rep. Steve King should be impeached. Such a racist.
hey bob- that was a little toung in cheek on my part- 4:45 "RULE OF LAW...because i have such reverance for the RULE OF LAW...is the central pillar of american exceptionalism, w/o it, we would have never become the......greatest nation in the world, but WE ARE b/c of that central pillar, the RULE OF LAW"...then further 8:58 "..how important it is to comply with the letter and intent.. not just AVOID prosecution, not just skirt around the edges of the law"
ahh got you. I couldn't handle this mans meanderings and flight of ideas long enough to make it that far. I think I may have missed very little when it comes to any sort of point this person is trying to make. I'm just tired of the wave the dead soldier flag every time the GOP takes a shit in it's trousers...as one of the walking wounded I take great offense at people using us as an excuse to be unaccountable for their actions.
THANK YOU 4 YOUR SERVICE. just had josh steiber stay w me- on his walk/bike across america (conscientious objector) i counsel TBI/PTSD vets, too. ive always been ANTI-WAR, but PRO-SOLDIER.
See how this went from Joe Wilson was acting like an ass, to Joe was a soldier and his boys are soldiers, it is a word trick. Used all the way back to WWI. It hangs the idea out there to get an emotional response...Joes a soldier so if you dont think he is nice as a person you shoud at least support the troops. The GOP does this everytime they get in trouble Sarah P does it all the time "support the troops"..Answer this question, What does suport the troops mean? What does support Iowa mean?
Umm... do we need to list everybody on the other side in the Democratic Party that have acted badly including the executive branch? Politicians often do not live up to the dignity that their position warrants. However, while here we have seen a man apologize directly to President. Speaks volumes over the character of people like say Harry Reid.
way to straw man, the video is about Wilson. I noted the way the GOP gives this meandering monolgue every time they step on their collect "wangs" Whe the Dems do something stupid and post a video I'll comment on their piss poor meandering too See what I'm doing is called "focus" what you're doing is a shotgun approach. Your name clearly shows your political colors as mine is neutral. You are trying to drag every one down to the GOPs level as I am focused on this one issue. Emotions vs intellect.
Holy god, this guy's argument meanders all over the place! From Wilson's apology to the rule of law, to somehow not being able to draw the comparison between morality, judeo-christian values, and helping the poor and destitute with universal healthcare...
I honestly don't understand anything he's trying to say. It's almost like he just seems to be spouting off sound bites that he can use later to show how "moral" he is.
tht is exactly what he is doing... Noam Chomsky has a great book about this sort of thing called"Media Control" it discusses and validates your points.
