leftist anti-Bush rant with no content

Rightist and you know it.

Your comments weren't even to the right of Mao Tse Tung.


Of course you had to edit it, because the content contradicted the
utterly pathetic talk radio drivel about PBS. Oh, and it pointed out
your stand in faver of subsidised housing for the wealthy, subsidised
children, etcetera ad infinitum.


Huh? Do you even have a clue what you are saying? You are again
iterating the idea that letting people keep the fruits of their labors
by not taking it away from them in the form of taxes is somehow
"subsidizing" them. You think that is a "right-wing" idea? How about
instead of "right", "left", "liberal", or "conservative" we identify it
for what it really is, "statist" -- the idea that the government is the
provider of solutions and has first dibs on all wealth and labor,
whatever is left is from the benevolence of that government that they
let you keep that much.



Besides, you keep arguing that the founding fathers were wrong about
just about everything.


No, don't believe I have ever come even close to saying that, exactly
the opposite is really the case.

That's the PC thing to say, but every political post contradicts you,
including your silly whining about PBS.


OK p_j, point out exactly where in the constitution Congress is given
the power to take from one group of people and give to another. Where
is the idea of a public information system (aside from the establishment
of the Post Office) established by the government and supported by
taxpayers? Exactly the opposite ideas were espoused by the framers of
the constitution, this is abundantly evident in the writings in the
federalist and anti-federalist papers, and by various congressional
proceedings at or about the establishment of the US. The founders were
very concerned about an encroaching federal government and sought to
limit its power and influence. A posting of a speech to congress
regarding the inappropriateness of using the peoples' money for a
charitable cause was given in this forum several months ago.

Show me where in the constitution, the federalist or anti-federalist
papers or other writings of the founders that your positions are their
intent. Show where in their writings they would support the idea of
limiting the ability of groups of people to pool money to present
political ideas and political speech some arbitrary number of days
before an election.
