The Declaration of Independence IS a legal document:
John Hancock (in his capacity as president of the Second Continental Congress) and James Madison both considered it to be, in Madison's words, “the fundamental Act of Union of these States.” Reflecting that view, Congress has placed it at the head of the United States Code, under the caption, “The Organic Laws of the United States of America.”
Question: Is there a single Republican libertarian who sees the disconnect between decrying "Obamacare" as "Big Government" interfering with health care, and John Boehner deciding to try to stop abortion? If you want government to not make "death panels," why not start with allowing women access to abortion, and allowing people to choose death with dignity?
Its unfortunate in our consumerism Americas that we all seek the pleasure which ease our lives and adopt the "standard of living" banner under a right to pursue happiness...even if that happiness is poison for the other side of the world. Among all of us...I'm also to blame.
If we adopt an ideal that we have a right to pursue anything but truth...we ultimately fool ourselves by blinding ourselves with a larger ego than the day before. We lie to oursleves until the poison runs deep in our veins.
I think what the guy from the Palm Beach Post wrote sucks. We need to say something this doctor deserved better. The reporter is Jose Lambiet Call (561) 820-4343 to reach a representative. Tell them it was wrong.
@howtheworldworks Here is my problem; maybe you can help me. I am right winged on economic issues best left on social. So neither party in the USA is good for me? :( Any advice???
Here's a few things that I think would help the US government and it's people:
Secure the Border
Start privatizing social security (say, starting with all people 35 and under by returning all their social security payments and abolishing their SSN)
Slash medicare and medicade by at least 15%
Repeal Obamacare
Allow health insurance to be bought across state lines
For drugs FDA will now only test the safety and not effectiveness of drugs. Effectiveness is the doctor's domain.
Oh please...I'm so sick of this whiny "unconstitutional" argument about the health care bill. It is not 'Obamacare' that is a derogatory term used by the right; it is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. No one HAS to buy it. You can opt to pay the stupid penalty (like I'm going to do) and get on with your stupid life. If this means overall health care costs go down I'm all for it. Who cares? Health care is so high cause the system is too loose and irresponsible.
To say that you do not care about the Constitution is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard, you are saying something that protects your very rights, you do not care about? It is unconstitutional and 1 attack on freedom is a attack on all.
@RyanR3volution I didn't mean it like that. I just think this "unconstitutional" argument is a smokescreen. The health care system is very flawed; the reason medical bills are so high is because there are people who can't afford their own too high bills so we end up paying for it. This health care plan will help end that-if you don't want it, don't buy it! I don't need it so I'll just contribute the fine. The only problem are the deadbeats that always ruin everything...
Its unconstitutional, having a gov without constitutional limits is giving the gov no limit to the level of bullshit they can do. Gov should not be in healthcare, the gov intrusion in medical services are why there is so much inflation and high costs.
I want my Constitutional rights protected and ignoring breaches of the Constittuition is only going to make us less free and less secure.
@762foru Ok Retard im well aware that the Declaration of Independence was passed under the Continental congress and it predates the Constitution. What is also a FACT you ignorant hack Is that The Declaration Of Independence was passes unanimously under the Articles of Confederation and was passed unanimously under our Constitution it is the First law on the books it was passed on all three of these occasions and is the law of the Land. Oh btw the Healthcare bill is still unconstitutional
Sheila Jackson-Lee actually gets ELECTED! Unreal. That's not the first time she's said something so absurd and downright stupid. She is living proof that you need no common sense or intelligence to be elected in her district!
The surgeons aren't "literally performing miracles." They are performing life-saving surgeries using the skills that they have honed through years of dedicated education and experience.
@CambridgeHeights If a surgeon is doing something that saves a person's life when they have about an 80% chance of dying they are doing a miracle in my book. Stop being so literal
@monkeywolf Well that's your book. My book, the dictionary, says that a miracle is "an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause." Calling it supernatural takes away from the hard work and research put forth by people that have advanced the field of medicine to a point were someone can survive a gunshot to the head. By the way, Lee specifically said "literally" when he called it a miracle.
@monkeywolf I was just criticizing his use of the word 'miracle.' We are still allowed to criticize, right? You seem to be the one getting offended that I dare questioned the almighty Lee.
@CambridgeHeights You are overcritizing is the point, there are times when it is needed or even funny to do but in this case it's just purely asinine.

The Declaration of Independence was the first law passed under the New Constitution Unanimously i might add but trust me the pursuit of happiness clause is not a legal justification for laws
@iamsean90 The Declaration of Independence was not a LAW that was passed. It was an explanation of why the colonies had declared their independence and that's it. You need to go open a book or at the very least google, lol.
@Bleuski What are you talking about you have a right to your Life Liberty and to pursue happiness im just saying the congress can't determine what makes m you or I or everyone happy its not possible. But the purposal is to make them sight one of the 16 congressional powers written IN THE CONSTITUTION when they purpose a law. Seriously its not hard to figure out get your head examined if your really having trouble with this concept
The "in the crosshairs" apology is remarkable. It's not really the out of context terms like that which need to be called out, but this polarizing debate where each side thinks the other are evil beasts. I have conservative friends, yet I'm one of the most liberal people I know! This idea of "true Americans" or calling everyone names is getting to the point of absurdity. On healthcare, the government is supposed to "promote the general Welfare", so I think helping uninsured is constitutional!
"Congress can only use its delegated powers to legislate for the general welfare, meaning it cannot spend tax dollars on individuals or selected entities, but only for all of us. It must directly enhances everyone's welfare within the 17 delegated areas of congressional authority."
Me subsidizing another person's health insurance who have their priorities out of whack is NOT Constitutional
@2010GOP 1) Why do you immediately assume people in need are people who have their priorities wrong? I live in an upper middle-class town with very good schools and an environment that prepares kids for a college education. There are most likely some kids from my town who end up on welfare, because they're lazy, but most on welfare come from much harder circumstances. 2) Then why doesn't the government subsidize everyone's healthcare if they want it? What's wrong with people having more choices?
@GuitarRocker52: Government subsidized healthcare inevitably leads to only one choice: the Government's. The reason is that the government can make its price much cheaper than any private healthcare company because it has the backing of the US taxpayers. People will flock to the government option which will put private companies out of business. The government will then have to raise taxes in order to pay for everyone's healthcare, thus forcing people to pay for other's care.
@CDubSD and for themselves? It ultimately comes down to how important you think someone's HEALTH is. We pay for other people's education, because we believe that education is important to creating productive citizens, which it is, but are we supposed to believe that someone's health isn't?
@GuitarRocker52 Uh, GuitarRocker, not everything important is free. Believing otherwise is irrational.
Consider our socialized education system. Education is important. It isn't free, and the attempt to MAKE it free has resulted in a closed union shop which performs dismally. If you had kids and ten million dollars, your kids would be in private school. Admit it.
Health is also important, but (shocking but true) I want my health dollars to be spent on ME and my loved ones. I
@henrycate Our socialized education system is broken, because of lack of teacher accountability and corruption. More on topic, your assumption that the government will naturally beat out private companies is misguided. If private companies provide better care, then people will stay with them. Allstate is more expensive than other insurance companies, but I stick with them, because I can afford the better service. The consumer decides what the best choice is. Private schools are a good example.
@GuitarRocker52 - The term used elsewhere is 'safety net'. Those that can afford health care can pay for whatever they choose, those that cannot can still get access to healthcare.
@GuitarRocker52: First, look at our public education system...it sucks. But just because something is important doesn't mean the government should automatically provide it for you. If that were true, then the government would be providing food, clothing and housing to everyone. It doesn't because we are supposed to be responsible for ourselves. And we are responsible to each other through the likes of charities.
@GuitarRocker52 We pay for public education because the only other option is prison. If you belive that free heathcare or free education should be provided for those less fortunate then by all means donate some money to the cause. But for the love of morality don't use the government to force other people at gunpoint to pay for YOUR convictions.
@CalvinJGreen your so-called morality is valid both ways around. if for you morality is people should be charitable and for me morality is that everyone should provide. who's right and who's wrong? I guess no one really is.
@fenix144 No that's logically inconsistent. If you acknowledge that it’s wrong to steal or to coerce against one’s will than you cannot then propose that “everyone should provide” that implies the use of force to achieve and is thus a contradiction.
Hey might as well ask this question on one of Lee's videos his subscribers and viewers seem like intelligent and informed people. Mitt Romney 2012? Are people going to draw to many comparisons to what he signed into law here in Massachusetts to Obamacare? I was born and raised and went to college in the Boston area and I know how a lot of Tea Party folks dislike Scott Brown. I wonder if Mitt is going to have a shot since his values and what he did to us in Massachusetts is going to hurt him.
@functfusion I accept Scott Brown as a Right-leaned libertarian in the Boston area. Not my favorite politician, but I'm pragmatic and glad I have at least something decent down in Washington "representing me".
Romney's done. Romney care is a disaster, and it's just another way to force people onto the government $, or pay the piper. He should've acknowledged his mistake for attempting compassion and fixed this before ever running for national office. Too bad, I like him otherwise.
Maybe your thoughts on crosshairs doesn't take into account the more radical aspects of society. Maybe if you were in someones crosshairs you would think differently.
The USA is crashing ,europe ,with the exception of Germany and France ,are crashing.Obama care wont matter. Here are some things that will make us hit bottom.1 ,California collapses 2, the petrodollar ends 3,China dumps all US bonds and dollars they hold(4trill.). This would cause a major devaluation and people all over the would would follow suit.4,Hyperinflation takes off 5, Interest rates skyrocket...We are on the edge,stockup on food,silver,ammo,NOW
for all the fuss (justified, for sure!0 about the inability of congress to function on a basic level, and the ignorance of its members, who votes them into office? from what community are they singled out as the most able ot govern? we have no one to blame but ourselves.
now thats a guilt that can only be squelched by 1000mg of prozac a day...
Democrat Phil Hare of Illinois also thought that the 'pursuit of hapiness' was in the Constitution. There is a video of him saying that, also talking about Obamacare. lol
For most of my adult life people seemed default smart to me, but in the last 8 years what the hell has happened? I see people driving cars that act like they have the smarts of a tree stump. walking through store's is like walking into a group of cows. blank stares and coma acting egg plants standing around. Zombieland
@ProgressiveInAmerica Your argument might hold up on Keith Olberman's show, if he still had a show, but you'll need more than opinion and liberal-speak Nazi innuendo here. Sorry.
@ProgressiveInAmerica That's right. You can't begin since Lee runs rings around you intellectually. "Progressives" are mindless sheep being herded to slaughter.
@ProgressiveInAmerica Great comeback! LOL! You liberals are idiots! You're only response to everything is to name call threaten and act like a moron. Grow up!
@ProgressiveInAmerica Coming from a 35 year old with the mindset of an 11 year old. Typical libtarded progressive. When confronted with the error of your ways, your response is accusing your opponent of shoving dildos. You lost the debate. And its spelled response not responce. That's what you get for attending public school.
If you want to see why even the constitution isn't even legally binding, you can go to this website.
jim dot com slash treason.htm
"The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago. [This essay was written in 1869.]"
Ok people here is my new acronym for LEFT.. Liars Exemplifying False Truths,, that's what they do, they tell you that truth is a lie, and a lie is true.
I've NEVER seen anyone make a mistake about the constitution and the D of I!
1:12 Thanks for the warning! I'm always driving when watching your videos, like most other viewers.. Phew! Almost hit a car!
2:47 So true! Spot on! Because when I think of takeover all I think is the setting of prices by the government! who thinks of the government owning the means of productions...

Let me guess. Shelia Jackson is black - a real tough call. I'll also bet she is an unapologetic racist like Al Sharpton. She is probably also a product of the public school system so she has the IQ of a kumquat and has probably never even read the constitution.
Seriously, people like her should not even be allowed to vote, let alone hold office. Democracy requires some basic level of intelligence and education.
@666sigma Walter Williams advocates for allowing those w/ more stake in Washington (aka the higher tax payers) to have more say in elections, due to how rampant the practice of voting yourself more benefits has become.
I don't know who Walter Williams is and I am not advocating more votes for the wealthy. The wealthy already have undue influence and that is why government refuses to rein in Wall Street, the Corporate Entitlement Class and the Military Industrial Complex (among others).
I am advocating that the public have some minimum education level (HS degree, GED or military service) in order to vote. Voters should have a commitment to society and some social responsibility.
This new YouTube page sucks canal water. I don't want to see everything that everyone favorited !!! I deleted all my friends to clear the clutter. Now I realize that I shouldn't "like" any vids because it makes me a pain in the ass by showing up on friends pages for no damn reason. Sucks Sucks Sucks - NO control
It really makes you sick to see the way these people use this attack as a tool to smear their conservative opponents. The more the facts come out, the more obvious the tactic is. It 's a shame the families have to have this kind of ugliness intrude on their grief. These liberals are like a cornered rat since they lost in November. There's no tactic too low or too ugly. They want the power back. It's like Gollum's lust for the ring.
You have to wonder about the public when they vote for people like Rep. Shiela Jackson Lee & the guy who thought the island would tip over if more Marines were stationed there.
@optasabule He actually said "while reading this" which is worse. While slightly amusing, it's obviously a slip. It doesn't significantly change the meaning or purpose of the statement, which was rhetorical in the first place. It's possible for someone to drive while listening to their queue without great danger or difficulty, too. Not sure how you make broad generalizations from that, but you certainly have the imagination children and liberals are famous for; if not the creativity.
If you think the news is bad you should listen to the Spanish station's news . If you can understand . I'll choose to see all the idiocy in the news as positive that we won't have another liberal in the White House FOREVER .
1984 are you fucking stupid? One guy apologizes for a word and suddenly it's 1984? Have you even read the book? Because that "Up is down and down is up" quote is out of context.
Brilliant video! Thank you! 35 idiots clicked thumbs down thus far on the information in this video. 609 critical thinkers clicked thumbs up thus far; gives me hope.
OMG US is getting more and more absurd. Who are we, in central Europe, sopposed to use as the model for democracy now!?
btw: in the crosshairs is frequently used phrase, what should be wrong with it!?!? It would make sense to me only if the news guy did in order to start a debate on this topic.And if not, i'm going to study democracy in China.
How freaking sensitive is this nation going to get before we collapse in on ourselves like a dying star? If things don't change FAST we are SURELY doomed.
Creating a law that sends me a large check from Uncle Sam every month is now constitutional, since it will increase my happiness level, and repealing that laws is not. Thanks John Lewis!
Lee, by thinking that way you tempted fate and the universe complied under the rules of Finagle's Law. No matter how bad things may be they can ALWAYS be worse.
IQ tests should be given to everyone running for public office and the results posted on the ballots. We have too many sub-morons in office because idiots often sound confident since they don't have the mental capacity to realize when they are wrong or lying. People mistake that confidence for competence.
Also, comedians never made fun of Barack for his many dumb gaffes because it didn't fit in with the narrative they wanted to portray - that of him being a cool and smart dude.
Republic A political order whose head of state is not a monarch and in modern times is usually a president.
2.A political order in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them
3.often Republic A specific republican government of a nation
4 An autonomous or partially autonomous political and territorial unit belonging to a sovereign federation.
5 A group of people working as equals in the same sphere or field.
It was Representative Cohen from Tennessee that signed his Nazi signature to the building of the FEMA Camps. Do not forget that there were Jewish Nazis under Hitler.
@duckbar2 Why would anyone trust a politician who's closest counterpart would be the leadership of a mafia gang running a protection racket. Extortion in the form of taxes, kidnapping when you refuse to be extorted... hmm...
The pursuit of happiness means people are naturally entitled by their creator to do (as long as it doesn't infringe on someone elses freedom) what makes them happy. I am happy without Government healthcare. Government health care makes me unhappy. Even if that was in the Constitution how can that even be interpreted to support socialized healthcare?
There is nothing wrong with any word. If you believe so you don't believe in freedom. If I want to call my dog a stupid porchmonkey nigger it doesn't mean I'm a racist or a horrible person it means I felt like saying that to my dog. The Government is de-educating the people. From an early age we are taught to not let teasing and name calling bother us because it's juvenile then we are taught it's okay to stop people from using or printing certain language as a result. WTF. What is hate speech?
John Conyers claimed the "healthcare" bill was Constitutional under the "Good and Plenty Clause." Apparently there was a member of the Hershey family back in the Constitutional Convention.
To the Left and John King, if I say voters have a politician "in the crosshairs," that means we're all going to shoot that person. And I guess if I call someone a "motor-mouth," that means that I believe the person actually has a motor in his mouth. And they say Conservatives are the stupid ones???
Tell me what's wrong with a socialist utopia, or a Government takeover of Health Care, don't state those things as a wrong that's just GIVEN. Because strangely, a lot of people would disagree. I know, people disagreeing with you, impossible to believe!
--Yeah, a lot of stupid people, who don't even know what freedom is and are willing to give it away as if it was nothing. What's next after we give the government control over our healthcare system & our financial system? Well, energy is next. Get ready for rationed energy. If you don't believe me, just read up on the "smart grid." You Liberals don't even know when you're being put into a cage.
@NoGuff I see no proof to validate that. There's no universal law that says once the Government has Health Care in it's control, it will move to take control of every other possible living condition. And let's be really honest; Government already has control over energy. Not the individual's type of energy, the way a smart grid, your example, would. But on the larger scale, they have complete undisputed control over energy.
"There's no universal law that says once the Government has Health Care in it's control"
--That's because you're not smart enough to understand. You don't know what freedom is, and so you don't understand when the government is intruding on it.
"they have complete undisputed control over energy"
@xp19375 The USSR was communist, North Korea is communist, neither was socialist. India right after independence was a mess, no doubt, but not because of socialism, but because of a split between religion and riots. The Wiemar Republic was doomed to failu

The "in the crosshairs" apology is remarkable. It's not really the out of context terms like that which need to be called out, but this polarizing debate where each side thinks the other are evil beasts. I have conservative friends, yet I'm one of the most liberal people I know! This idea of "true Americans" or calling everyone names is getting to the point of absurdity. On healthcare, the government is supposed to "promote the general Welfare", so I think helping uninsured is constitutional!
GuitarRocker52 1 year ago
@GuitarRocker52: General Welfare for ALL
"Congress can only use its delegated powers to legislate for the general welfare, meaning it cannot spend tax dollars on individuals or selected entities, but only for all of us. It must directly enhances everyone's welfare within the 17 delegated areas of congressional authority."
Me subsidizing another person's health insurance who have their priorities out of whack is NOT Constitutional
2010GOP 1 year ago
@2010GOP 1) Why do you immediately assume people in need are people who have their priorities wrong? I live in an upper middle-class town with very good schools and an environment that prepares kids for a college education. There are most likely some kids from my town who end up on welfare, because they're lazy, but most on welfare come from much harder circumstances. 2) Then why doesn't the government subsidize everyone's healthcare if they want it? What's wrong with people having more choices?
GuitarRocker52 1 year ago
@GuitarRocker52: Government subsidized healthcare inevitably leads to only one choice: the Government's. The reason is that the government can make its price much cheaper than any private healthcare company because it has the backing of the US taxpayers. People will flock to the government option which will put private companies out of business. The government will then have to raise taxes in order to pay for everyone's healthcare, thus forcing people to pay for other's care.
CDubSD 1 year ago
@CDubSD and for themselves? It ultimately comes down to how important you think someone's HEALTH is. We pay for other people's education, because we believe that education is important to creating productive citizens, which it is, but are we supposed to believe that someone's health isn't?
GuitarRocker52 1 year ago
@GuitarRocker52 Uh, GuitarRocker, not everything important is free. Believing otherwise is irrational.
Consider our socialized education system. Education is important. It isn't free, and the attempt to MAKE it free has resulted in a closed union shop which performs dismally. If you had kids and ten million dollars, your kids would be in private school. Admit it.
Health is also important, but (shocking but true) I want my health dollars to be spent on ME and my loved ones. I
henrycate 1 year ago
@henrycate Our socialized education system is broken, because of lack of teacher accountability and corruption. More on topic, your assumption that the government will naturally beat out private companies is misguided. If private companies provide better care, then people will stay with them. Allstate is more expensive than other insurance companies, but I stick with them, because I can afford the better service. The consumer decides what the best choice is. Private schools are a good example.
GuitarRocker52 1 year ago

@GuitarRocker52: First, look at our public education system...it sucks. But just because something is important doesn't mean the government should automatically provide it for you. If that were true, then the government would be providing food, clothing and housing to everyone. It doesn't because we are supposed to be responsible for ourselves. And we are responsible to each other through the likes of charities.
CDubSD 1 year ago
@GuitarRocker52 We pay for public education because the only other option is prison. If you belive that free heathcare or free education should be provided for those less fortunate then by all means donate some money to the cause. But for the love of morality don't use the government to force other people at gunpoint to pay for YOUR convictions.

Hey might as well ask this question on one of Lee's videos his subscribers and viewers seem like intelligent and informed people. Mitt Romney 2012? Are people going to draw to many comparisons to what he signed into law here in Massachusetts to Obamacare? I was born and raised and went to college in the Boston area and I know how a lot of Tea Party folks dislike Scott Brown. I wonder if Mitt is going to have a shot since his values and what he did to us in Massachusetts is going to hurt him.
