Rick Perry Proclaims

[JackLuis]

9 Completely Bonkers Things The Newest GOP Presidential Candidate Believes About The Constitution

Yet Perry was remarkably honest about his belief that federal programs that millions of American depend upon for their health and livelihood somehow violate America’s founding principles. In 2010, he published a book, Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington, laying out his narrow understanding of the Constitution in considerable detail. He also gave numerous speeches and made multiple television appearances touting his belief that much of the last century of American history was a constitutional error.

Read the article, he's a real Constitutionalist?

I'd like to see what a constitutional law professor thinks of this guy's ideas. As a person who's had Con Law and taught high schoolers about the Constitution, I can safely say this guy's completely full of shit.

As a constitutional law professor, what do you think of Obama bypassing the Constitution and ruling by fiat?

Oh yeah, Obama's vast number of Executive Orders is almost as high as the number Reagan made in his first term.

The truth hurts......

Sounds about right. We shouldn't be able to elect our own Senator's. We ought to be unhealthy, uneducated, unprotected against abusive employers and folks that would destroy our environment for profit, left out in the cold after we retire. Don't tax the very wealthy that only make money from having money. Let Wall St throw the global economy into the crapper again if they can find a way to make a buck by putting us all at risk while they have insurance on themselves.

Did I miss anything?

I didn't teach Con Law to other law students; I taught it for a class to high school students. I haven't attained the rank of "professor." Yet. Give it time.

That said, show me how Obama's "ruling by fiat." Sure looks to me like Obama's "not able to get through an obstructionist Congress and issuing executive orders where he can" and actually issuing fewer executive orders than other presidents in the past.

You're so god damn confusing....some days you sounds like a flaming liberal...then others you sound like you went to bed listening to Alex Jones/Limbaugh re-runs at deafening volume with all your talk of regimes and suggestions that O is going to violently take over the US or kill grandma with his commie kenyanan ACA ninjas from KENYA!!

You know he's allowed to do that, right? In fact it's pretty much the first sentence of Article II: The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.

This is literally 8th grade civics class stuff.

Box is just trying to divert my thread on Perry to something he can understand, What Fox says.

He can't stand it when you point out just how stupid the Repugs are.

 

[RjThoughts]

But has he remembered "Number 3"?

He's so fucking bizzar....like he's not really sure wtf side of an issue he's on.

He can post one second that he's against the war on drugs but in the very next post/thread he's all "DRUG DEALERS SHOULD BE DEWIN' LIFE!! IF NOT HANGED N' SHAWT!"

Or is that just black drug dealers box??

Either way...the guy flip flops like that all around everything.

Sayz he's pro choice but votes Republican.....

Says he wants limited government because socialism is an evil failure but is a Republican and lives in CA.....

Tha fuck is that shit??

[renard_ruse]

Its time we get rid of the government completely. I'm leaning toward libertarianism more and more. Real libertarianism, not the "I'm a druggie perv who doesn't want to pay taxes so I'll call myself a "libertarian"" type though.

The government no longer has any control over my heart or my head. It obviously still has the physical power to steal from my paycheck, but just the mental idea that you view yourself as not a part of of a government or under its sovereignty in a moral sense, its amazingly liberating. The government doesn't do any of the few things it should be doing, so I've no use for it at all anymore. It can go fuck itself.

And, no, none of that's "bonkers." That's just your establishment liberal hate media spewing its usual insults. You should try reading a wider array of sources besides that mental junk food.

Glad you're spending your time posting to a porn board then rather than being anywhere and doing anything that would have real effect.

Rick Perry proclaims that the Charleston shooting was a "drug-induced accident".

Apparently, he meant "incident".

The Tenth Amendment

9 Completely Bonkers Things The Newest GOP Presidential Candidate Believes About The Constitution

Yet Perry was remarkably honest about his belief that federal programs that millions of American depend upon for their health and livelihood somehow violate America’s founding principles. In 2010, he published a book, Fed Up!: Our Fight to Save America from Washington, laying out his narrow understanding of the Constitution in considerable detail. He also gave numerous speeches and made multiple television appearances touting his belief that much of the last century of American history was a constitutional error.

The Tenth Amendment

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

----------

The Tenth Amendment could be used by a reactionary Supreme Court to over rule most of the economic, environmental, and civil rights legislation passed during the twentieth century.

This would result in a Constitutional crisis that would probably conclude with the impeachment of those Supreme Court justices that ruled to do that, the repeal of the Tenth Amendment, and a new amendment restricting the power of the Supreme Court. I would favor all of those results. Nevertheless, for months, perhaps a few years, there would be a chaotic situation.

I dislike the the Supreme Court. I dislike the fact that ten unelected justices chosen for life, who might change their ideology after being appointed to the Supreme Court, have that power. Why should we assume that those ten justices understand the United States Constitution better than Congressional representatives, the President, and the voters?

Direct election of senators was a Constitutional amendment passed about 100 years ago. We are less healthy and less well-educated than we were sixty years ago. We are probably less protected against union and government abuses now than we were sixty years ago. We have a higher percentage of people living below the poverty line now than we did sixty years ago, despite the expenditure of trillions of dollars spent to try to change this.

Now, what are you saying about Wall Street?

 

[The_Trouvere]

libertarianism

Its time we get rid of the government completely. I'm leaning toward libertarianism more and more. Real libertarianism, not the "I'm a druggie perv who doesn't want to pay taxes so I'll call myself a "libertarian"" type though.

The government no longer has any control over my heart or my head. It obviously still has the physical power to steal from my paycheck, but just the mental idea that you view yourself as not a part of of a government or under its sovereignty in a moral sense, its amazingly liberating.

And, no, none of that's "bonkers." That's just your establishment liberal hate media spewing its usual insults. You should try reading a wider array of sources besides that mental junk food.

Libertarianism only makes sense for those who have reason to be confident in their ability to make a good income with no help from the government. In a stagnant and increasingly competitive economy that is a declining minority of the American population.

If you own a profitable company that receives no subsidies from the government, or if you get job offers over the telephone, you would probably benefit from a libertarian economy, as long as you don't mind stepping over the bodies on the way to work and back.

By job offers over the telephone, I do not mean people who ask you to go in for an interview. I mean people who say, "How much are those guys paying you? Is that all? We can give you a lot more over here."

Nevertheless, libertarianism resonates in the United States as it does not in the rest of the world. More Americans think they would benefit from "less government, lower taxes" than really would.

I am opposed to the war on drugs the way it is being fought. MJ and most other drugs should be legal but restricted to adults, and this is what I don't like about drug dealers, of any race or ethnicity. They sell to anybody who has the money, unlike bars and liquor dealers, who feel the need to protect their licenses.

I am pro-choice, but that is only one factor. I also believe two adults of any gender should be able to marry each other. However, I am even more strongly in favor of people being responsible for themselves and their families, and I vote against the party of the dole, especially when they are trying to run people's lives to such a degree.

Just on its face Socialism is a failure. If the gov. provides cradle to grave security, that will remove any incentive to be self-sufficient or to improve one's lot in life.

At least I know how to spell "bizarre."

A good measure of health is life expectancy

Sixty years ago was 1955. In the United States the average life expectancy in 1950 was 68.2 years. In 1960 the average life expectancy was 69.7 years. In 2010 the average life expectancy was 78.7 years.

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0005148.html

Since 1955 high school graduation rates have increased from about 73% to about 90%.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/content.thi...les_and_Females_Born_1930-1975.png?1422466661

In 2010, 15.1 percent of all persons lived in poverty...

In the late 1950s, the poverty rate for all Americans was 22.4 percent.

How do you define "union and government abuses?" By what criteria have these increased since 1955? Prove it.

The closest approximation to democratic socialism is Scandinavian social democracy. In the world nine countries have AAA ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. Three of them are Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Three others have what could be called Social democratic economies: Australia, Canada, and Germany.

http://www.theguardian.com/business...ted-club-which-countries-still-make-the-grade

Denmark, Sweden, Australia, and Norway have less public debt as a percentage of gross domestic product than does the United States.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2186rank.html#sw

Each of these six countries has a lower infant mortality rate than the United States.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2091rank.html#us

Australia, Canada, Germany, Norway, and Sweden have longer life expectancies.
