The proregressive leftist feels that the law should be a tool to help them tell us what's best for us.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362551.post-11890536240937798732011-09-02T14:50:05.935-05:002011-09-02T14:50:05.935-05:00Another great job taking apart the left by the Van...Another great job taking apart the left by the VanMan.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687530950914688776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32362551.post-85496214949965343822011-09-02T10:10:55.829-05:002011-09-02T10:10:55.829-05:00The five-parter was excellent.

This is icing on the cake.<br /><br /><i>Unless folks who unthinkingly 'pick fights', such as yourself, manage to do away with Rights completely, the Law still rules ... </i><br /><br />And that is exactly the problem. People like Obama see themselves and are seen by their followers as above the law -- or perhaps a law unto themselves. <br /><br />The emphasis by the left in this country is often on how we need our country run by the elites, the best and brightest. Johnson thought he could do this with guys like McNamara. Roosevelt had his brain trust. <br /><br />If things were run according the Constitution and the basic laws in place at the federal level, especially in peace time, the Three Stooges could run this country and do a better job than all the genius lawyers and economists. The LAW would keep them from screwing things up too badly -- if they followed it. The federal government was meant to be more or less a turnkey operation. You don't need career politicians and insiders to run it unless you are determined to make massive changes and ignore the Law of the Land.<br /><br />Well done.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.com
