Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.
Who said this?
Published on April 29, 2005 By Dr Guy In Politics

We began as a nation with a clear formulation of the basic relationship between God, our rights as individuals, the government we created to secure those rights, and the prerequisites for any power exercised by our government.

Must be an extreme right winger.  mentioning God!

"We hold these truths to be self-evident," our founders declared. "That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. . . ."

Unfair!  Discrimination against atheist!  Myrr is not going to like that.

But while our rights come from God, as our founders added, "governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just power from the consent of the governed."

WOW!  This guy is right of Falwell!  What a novel idea!

So, unlike our inalienable rights, our laws are human creations that derive their moral authority from our consent to their enactment--informed consent given freely within our deliberative processes of self-government.

Informed Consent.  Another anethma to the Pro choice movement.

Any who seek to wield the powers of government without the consent of the people, act unjustly.

Sounds like he is trashing the democrats filibuster!  They are the minority, and yet attempt to wield the powers without the consent!

So who is this right wing nut job?  First correct answer wins a free tour of the Constitution!

---Okay you two...go to seperate corners if you can't stop the name calling [sheesh...i'm younger than most on this site and i have to make sure, or at least attempt to keep everyone acting like adults....]

I have seen worse.  This exchange is mild and amusing.

I doubt you are proud of these foot in mouth episodes of your sides supposed leaders.


my comment had nothing to do with leaders of any type. i was referring to the comments of the zonedcloned on this article when they believed you were quoting from a founding father or some hardcore conservative.

when gore sounds more like goldwater (and you may wanna take time to read the entire text of the speech and then also reread goldwater's own speeches before you respond too hastily)than anyone in the bush administration, perhaps you've assumed too much about me and too little about what's really going on in the party to place me left of anywhere.

I read your addition. I place you no where, your own statements place you left of center. I could care less what Goldwater stated, because he was conservative and never pretended to be anything else. Gore, on the other hand, is pretending to be someone he is not. I dont think he believes any of what he said, he just said it to make political hay. if you cant see that, then you dont know Gore at all.

--True...but these "exchanges" are getting pretty annoying...you'd think that most on here would realize that name calling,etc... is useless,sure, they can sometimes releave stress....but no one really wins...
