Don't listen to BrezhnevIsMyCoPilot he makes invalid arguments all the time. He just spews out crap that doesn't make any sense.

Listen buddy, don't respond to my statement that the Congress has the Constitutional right to legislate with regard to the stimulus bill and bank bailout (on the video of the Geithner/Bernanke hearings with Michelle Bachman) with some nonsense about the First Amendment if you don't want to be challenged on it.

If you make hit and run comments so often that you can't actually remember one that you wrote only hours earlier, it's a fairly good sign that you are a troll.

"so the legislature can pass a law denying citizens their first amendment rights?
of course not. get a brain."

Just wondering here, which First Amendment right is actually violated by the recent actions of the U.S. Treasury? I'd love to hear about the connection between fiscal policy and freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and/or petitioning the government for redress...

you're hopelessly naive. you compare a group of multinational islamists who terrorize women, blow up religious shrines, kill shia's, support al qaeda and ban music and girls' education to freedom fighters? you're hopeless naive.

your theory would be right if you knew the first thing about the taliban. they are not defending "a country" you need to know how they think. these men arent from the same country, they're from all over the world, africa, arabia, europe, asia...and they want to impose sharia law everywhere they can.

you can only be an isolationist if you assume moral relativism. "what does it matter if they ban music and enslave their women? it's all the same."
AND
"who cares about suffering abroad? let's not stop AIDS in Africa or punish ethnic cleansing or genocide or child slavery. after all we can't decide how many billions of dollars to invest in our country"

that's pathetic. after all it was martin luther king who said "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"
