3. fail miserably
4. paint the streets red with blood

None of those were *my* predictions.......

You gonna send me a dozen roses now that we got that one straightened up

If you lay down with the dogs..dont be surprised if you get fleas..or

Thank you, Dr. Gunner. I'll look forward to reading your crank book when it
comes out. You've sure accumulated a lot of examples from the genre to guide
your research. d8-)

Recall the Constitution is the Contract by which each state agrees in
order to remain in the union, and by which the Feral Government is
allowed to exist.


The Contract, as you put it, includes the premise that the federal
government will not impose the Bill of Rights upon the states. You can read
the debates from the First Congress and the citations in Barron v. Baltimore
to satisfy yourself on that account.

The irony here is that the reversal that occurred to this relationship, by
way of Lincoln and his actions that led to the Reconstruction Amendments, is
precisely what gets DiLorenzo's panties in a twist -- a point of view you
defend in other threads.

Or, you can keep reading your blogs, and melt your mind into a puddle.

Those articles and amendments are the Contract between the Federal

Anything not covered in the Constitution and BOR is the province of
the States and its citizens.

States may set their own speed limits. States may NOT interfere with
the 1st Amendment and set up a mandated state religion for example.
Each state is a sovereign individual, in a union with other states.
The agreement of all the states who wish to be in the union is the
following of the Constitution and the BOR.

Quite simple. Very clear. No ambiguity.


And why is it you think that the 1st Amendment disallows states from

setting
up state-sponsored religions? Is it because of the way the Amendment is
written, or something else?


Because the very wise men who wrote it intended it to be this way..and
then everyone agreed to it and signed on to the Contract..and made
sure that any new states must honor the same contract before they
would be accepted into the Union.


That's very interesting. I didn't realize you were old enough to have known

The separation of church and state creedo came from a letter written
by Jefferson to a minister. Period. End program. Full stop.

Its been used consistantly since then by the Left to shackle religion.

http://www.usconstitution.net/jeffwall.html

Mr. President

To mess? Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson a
committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of
Connecticut.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem & approbation which you are so
good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist
association, give me the highest satisfaction. my duties dictate a
faithful & zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, and in
proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the
discharge of them becomes more & more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between
man & his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his
worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only,
and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of
the whole American people which declared that their legislature should
make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between
church and state. [Congress thus inhibited from acts respecting
religion, and the Executive authorised only to execute their acts, I
have refrained from presenting even occasional performances of
devotion presented indeed legally where an Executive is the legal head
of a national church, but subject here, as religious exercises only to
the voluntary regulations and discipline of each respective sect.]
Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in
behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere
satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to
man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in
opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection and blessing of the
common Father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves and
your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

It's better to be a red person in a blue state
than a blue person in a red state. As a red
person, if your blue neighbors turn into a mob
at least you have a gun to protect yourself.
As a blue person, your only hope is to appease
the red mob with herbal tea and marinated tofu.

I'm sorry, Gunner, but bashing your head won't do it. In fact, I think it
would leave you in the opposite condition. d8-)

What I meant was, pulling up some political/social-issue polls from the
major pollsters and seeing just what kind of an outlier you are. "Outlier"
means you're out on the edge of the scale.

Why should I bother? Frankly Ed..I dont compare myself to anyone but
me. You on the other hand..seem to think you are snug in the middle of
the Warm and Fuzzy Zone..aka Apathy Central.

Based on your posts..you are a RINO. Republican In Name Only. You
hold a few conservative positions, and you appear to hold quite a few
positions that are well Left of center. This btw..does not allow you
to use Averaging in an attempt to define your political position.

That's nice, but you don't hesitate to compare *me* to your chuckleheaded
concept of the "left." You treat yourself as incomparable, but you have the
rest of the population pigeonholed into your little conceptual boxes, which
are made of straw.

You on the other hand..seem to think you are snug in the middle of
the Warm and Fuzzy Zone..aka Apathy Central.


The issue only comes up when you characterize yourself as being in the "new
majority," while you simultaneously slot everyone else.

Based on your posts..you are a RINO. Republican In Name Only. You
hold a few conservative positions, and you appear to hold quite a few
positions that are well Left of center. This btw..does not allow you
to use Averaging in an attempt to define your political position.

That's very interesting. I didn't realize you were old enough to have

the FF's "intentions."

And here, I always thought they meant what they said -- as in the case of
the debates over the Bill of Rights in the First Congress.

Actually Ed..there were two books already written on the subjects..by
the Founders themselves.

The Federalist Papers
The Anti-Federalist Papers

Need the links?


Maybe you can save us all some time. Which of them won?

I'll bet the _ Zondervan 2005 Minister's Tax and Financial Guide_ is some
pretty hot reading. Do you get a soul-depletion allowance when members of

In article , Gunner says...

"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment
of religion, nor the free exercise thereof."

Which part of NO LAW didn't you understand?


This ALSO means that there shall also be No Law that prevents
religious expression.


And no law that *requires* it, either.
Gummint should not be in the god business.

The ministers should stick to the god biz,
and the legislators should stick to the law biz.

There sure is try the following:

Strider is already a member of the first.


That is the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. They also have a female

I went to there Web Site and it sounds like a fine and noble enterprise
and surly not to the likes of those who inhabit this board. As the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows is based on Friendship, love and Truth.

Their is very little Friendship here.
There ain't no love, and truth here is about as rare as fresh water in
the middle of the ocean.


JIm, you sound like you need a hug.
