March 23, 201016 yr FWIW, the United States Declaration of Independence is not part of the Constitution nor law. The principles on which our Country were founded have no place in this discussion. :confused:
March 23, 201016 yr The principles on which our Country were founded have no place in this discussion. :confused: Never. :lol:
March 23, 201016 yr The principles on which our Country were founded have no place in this discussion. :confused: Again, who is keeping you from life?
March 24, 201016 yr Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Yep, it's a right. I'm glad you agree, BF: NO ABORTIONS.
March 24, 201016 yr The principles on which our Country were founded have no place in this discussion. :confused:What's your point? It's not law. We're discussing a bill that is now law, the Declaration of Independence isn't law.
March 24, 201016 yr There are too many that have little or no understanding of how our government is too work. They know a bit of history and like the 'pigs' in "Animal Farm" they twist the meaning in whatever direction they want it to go and make-up situations to fit their needs.

So...because some don't agree with you, you assume that they are lacking in knowledge? Much of what is being touted as "legitimate" reasons for opposition is hyperbole...conjecture if you will. Maybe those people are like the chicken in "Chicken Little", if we're comparing to literature. (Not saying Chicken Little is the literary masterpiece that Animal Farm is, but it is a book.) OR, maybe some need to read "Who Moved My Cheese".....
March 24, 201016 yr Well isn't this interesting.... By 49%-40%, those polled say it was "a good thing" rather than a bad one that Congress passed the bill. Half describe their reaction in positive terms — as "enthusiastic" or "pleased" — while about four in 10 describe it in negative ways, as "disappointed" or "angry." The largest single group, 48%, calls the legislation "a good first step" that needs to be followed by more action. And 4% say the bill itself makes the most important changes needed in the nation's health care system. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2010-03-23-health-poll-favorable_N.htm?csp=hf

OR, maybe some need to read "Who Moved My Cheese"..... I used "Animal Farm" because it is an example of the 'living constitution' philosophy that some have. Ignore the law (rules), change the laws to fit your needs to keep youself in power. If they are such great ideas, follow the rules. The AGs of several states have it right, the health bill is unconstitutional, unless you believe in the 'living constitution' philosophy.

I used "Who Moved My Cheese" for the simple reason that some of the mice in the book are an example of people who are resistant to change, refusing to consider expanding their horizons, in anticipation that if they refuse to change, everything will return to the way they are used to.

March 24, 201016 yr This bill is unconstitutional and flies in the face of the 10th amendment. The liberals are trying hard to usher in socialism and it is doomed to failure. Our children will be burdened with so much debt they will never get out. The entitlement mindset is very addictive and as dangerous as any narcotic. This is not a good thing for our country.
March 24, 201016 yr If life were a right there would be no abortions allowed.Exactly my point. :thumb: Whose is keeping you from life?I guess we're allowed to have life...as long as we keep it short. I'm glad you agree, BF: NO ABORTIONS.:thumb:
