If I were to win the big lotto, for dinner I'd go to a truck stop out of Amarillo for chipped beef. I guess that's like bein' baptized and confirmed by the State of Texas.JLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894953406900161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-80870656789526027042009-09-12T18:56:44.123-05:002009-09-12T18:56:44.123-05:00Late Saturday aft Calif time: Looking at news pho...Late Saturday aft Calif time: Looking at news photos of Tea Party in DC ... unbelieveable!!!<br /><br />In the 80s I was at four big rallies, three of them prolife and two of those est at a quarter million marchers (March for Life). These photos dwarf that quarter mil figure. No doubt, no way at all there were less than a million tea party goers. Wow!!!JLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12894953406900161276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-58010395407372579912009-09-12T00:42:13.321-05:002009-09-12T00:42:13.321-05:00The issue is the growth of the federal government ...The issue is the growth of the federal government that started after the civil war. It escalated with Wilson, FDR, Johnson, and now is going to hyperdrive with Obama. <br />The government was formed with one set of rules which was driven by the states. That is why they only gave the federal government those things which the states approved. To change that, it was supposed to take an amendment to the constitution. The last amendment was introduced in 1971. The supreme court is supposed to stop acts by the other two branches that violate our constitution. Instead it has become another legislative branch with no recorse to anyone, especially the voters and people in for life. 1973 brought Roe which was a violation of the constitution with power created out of the word "privacy" that Brandies had invented back at the time of Wilson. He used it to allow almost anything in a move toward socialism. Every group seeking new rights has used it since. If they still had to take any of the issues Pat talks about in his article to an amendment process, it would never see the light of day. That is why none have come in the last 38 years. <br /><br />The reason for the states is that you can have the type of things you want and believe in a state, and yet remain in the United States. Ohio does not want abortion or government run healthcare but New York does. Each can have the lifestyle they want and those who seek the other can move and still be in the USA. Once the federal does anything without an amendment, you have 50% of the people not happy with the result and no recourse if the Supreme court does not knock it down. If it comes from the court as with Roe, there is not even a recourse except to pass legislation which still goes back to that same court for review. <br /><br />We are in the middle of a game and all the rules have been changed and we seem to have no way to stop the game and make all play by the rules.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277481992746685122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-84073352485975829092009-09-11T18:17:44.514-05:002009-09-11T18:17:44.514-05:00Texas and Freedom.

So far, the Republicans have yet to bring something real, concrete, and positive to the political table.<br /><br />Is this nation breaking apart? Hmmmh. I dunno. When I look at the case of Cpl Brady Gustafson, USMC, I still see hope for the future.Adeodatus49https://www.blogger.com/profile/16574448503953046867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-44368725959933489332009-09-11T12:05:34.355-05:002009-09-11T12:05:34.355-05:00A chilling thought, but a possibility we must all ...A chilling thought, but a possibility we must all prepare for more and more, it seems. <br /><br />I still hold out that Liberals will realize they're tearing this country apart... and Republicans will stop secretly wishing they were Liberals. <br /><br />Not us, of course, I'm talking Beltway "Ooh, she spanked me silly," morons.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187977575683088977noreply@blogger.com
