If you read through the rest of the Ammendments in the Bill of Rights (Not just the part that the original poster decided to bold), you discover that these have not been violated by this administration.<BR/><BR/>Trial by jury: Only stated to be preserved in cases of common law, and I don't see the administration getting too involved in that.<BR/><BR/>That is just one example. I don't really have to mucch interest to point everything out to you people. Go on believing what you want. I guess that is one thing this "Evil Dictator" of a president can't violate huh?<BR/><BR/>I would also like to point out a couple things about the Bill of Rights. I agree that it is incredibly disheartening that so few of Americans know their history. But what alot of people don't know, or at least don't care to think about, is that the writers of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights intended these documets to be living documents. They intended them to change and adapt with the times. <B>That</B> is one thing that so many Americans start screaming about.<BR/><BR/>I had a good laugh while reading your article and I relly do thank you for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-66717359871588079172007-06-03T03:36:00.000+01:002007-06-03T03:36:00.000+01:00To those of you FAT-ASS White Trash out there whom...To those of you FAT-ASS White Trash out there whom voted for Dubya in 2004's, well, you made your bed, now you will sleep on it along with the fleas and the lices.AndrewHachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114474456963405679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-48207262647325423132007-06-03T02:22:00.000+01:002007-06-03T02:22:00.000+01:00Batman said...

But he was great though, right?<BR/><BR/>Woodrow Wilson locked a war opponent in JAIL for 10 years...even after WWI was over, this slob was in jail. He opposed the war..that's it. But Woodrow Wilson is great, Bush is a terrorist. Is Cindy Sheehan in jail? Michael Moore? Rosie O'Dumbass?<BR/><BR/>Gitmo? Really? Does Bush put random detractors, Michael Moore types in there? No? Taliban and related ilk. Where does it say in the constitution that the Taliban have rights in there? What about German POWs during WWII, were they illegal too? Were they given a proper civilian trial? Then FDR is a terrorist, right??<BR/><BR/>He intercepts phone calls? Of everyone? Really? How about only if they are originated outside the country by known terrorist calling into the country. If that had been inplace pre 9/11, they would have caught them making their plans. Again, are foreign terrorists protected in the Bill of Rights? <BR/><BR/>I know, I know, 9/11 was an inside job, but of course.<BR/><BR/>First they came for the terrorists...and I said nothing, because I was not a terrorist!

The constitution was supposed to be a statement of powers given by the people and the states to the federal government. At that time, many argued that putting in a statement of things that the federal government could not do was a very bad idea, and it has turned out to be exactly that. The so called Bill of Rights was meant to be simply an emphasis of major rights that the new federal government was not given the power to intere with. Instead, after some years went by, it became to be a list of rights granted by the glorious federal government to the people. The idea of rights has thus been turned inside-out and upside-down. The Bill of Rights was not needed because the federal government was never granted the power to destroy these rights...but now it is viewed as a granting of rights. It is impossible to list all the rights of the people, because they were supposed to have retained all their rights except what the federal government was granted to do...but today it has become exactly the opposite and if we can't find a right somehow hidden in the Bill or Rights, well, we just don't have it! We either need to go back to the "original intent" which is not just contained in the few lousy words of the constitution but also in all that was written and spoken about it by the founders in many thousands of articles...or better yet, ditch the constituion and go back to the much better Articles of Confederation. The constitutional convention was just suppose to do some patching to those to fix some problems...instead we got the constitution with its dangerous federal court system. Of course, no scrap of paper can preserve rights. This requires an intelligent and education population. Our citizens have been completely dumbed-down by government controlled education. We need to forbid government from having anything to do with education. Government at all levels forbidden from having anything at all to do with education at all levels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-9874717551181358272007-06-02T14:55:00.000+01:002007-06-02T14:55:00.000+01:00"Amendment XIGeorge W Bush shall impose martial la..."Amendment XI<BR/><BR/>George W Bush shall impose martial law at his discretion, for your protection of course."<BR/><BR/>---------------------<BR/><BR/>Um, I think Amendment XI prevents states from being sued in federal court by individuals without a waiver of immunity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-63427575764222154852007-06-02T14:25:00.000+01:002007-06-02T14:25:00.000+01:00If sticking up for the Constitution and Bill of Ri...If sticking up for the Constitution and Bill of Rights is somehow "conservative", then color me conservative.<BR/><BR/>- a liberal friendAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-45693704239715511012007-06-02T12:28:00.000+01:002007-06-02T12:28:00.000+01:00No man survives when freedom fails, The best men r...No man survives when freedom fails, The best men rot in filthy jails, And those who cry 'appease, appease' Are hanged by those they tried to please.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-12521202829331005632007-06-02T11:49:00.000+01:002007-06-02T11:49:00.000+01:00The bill of rights isn't all of it.

As specified by U.S. Code Title 50, Chapter 34, Subchapter II, Section 1621, the National Emergency Act allows that the president may declare a national emergency but requires that such proclamation "shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register." <BR/><BR/>A Congressional Research Service study notes that under the National Emergency Act, the president "may seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and, in a variety of ways, control the lives of United States citizens." <BR/><BR/>The CRS study notes that the National Emergency Act sets up congress as a balance empowered to "modify, rescind, or render dormant such delegated emergency authority," if Congress believes the president has acted inappropriately. <BR/><BR/>NSPD-51/ HSPD-20 appears to supersede the National Emergency Act by creating the new position of National Continuity Coordinator without any specific act of Congress authorizing the position."<BR/><BR/>I am a Constitutionalist and a conservative. This kind of end run around Congress scares the hell out of me. We already have in place laws to insure continuity of government. One of FEMAs major areas of responsibility is continuity of government in case of catastrophic disaster. This executive directive uses Orwellian doublespeak to assure us that the suspension of Constitutional separation of powers will be used to preserve the Consitution. This kind of crap is why the second ammendment was ratified.<BR/><BR/> As Jefferson said,"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tryanny in government."RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307437595686083352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-36115060510891415332007-06-02T06:47:00.000+01:002007-06-02T06:47:00.000+01:00No right of burning the flag in the bill of rights...No right of burning the flag in the bill of rights?

A group so organized and powerful that its members control many aspects of our future, holding positions of power throughout the world (i.e., Tony Blair, Paul Wolfowitz, Blackwater, etc). Some call it Illuminati, Skull & Bones, neocons, or what have you. They are all in it and they are not going away so fast. And as we can see by the cost of the war in Iraq, they are well funded, transferring taxpayer money into their pockets. These dark forces have been creating crisis and chaos for centuries in order to raise funds for self-enrichment and their sordid plans, like the New World Order, for instance.

Why is the mainstream press ignoring the Leo Wanta massive scandal where the Secretary of the Treasury and other top level government officials are refusing to pay $5.7 TRILLION that they had agreed to pay that was due to numerous third parties including various governments around the world. This is a clear violation of numerous laws and the International Court ruled that the money is due. They even literally stole money from the Bank of England. <BR/><BR/>The way things are going you would think that a global catastrophy is immimemt such as a comet hitting the world or a pole shift and severe earth changes that kill billions of people. A look at the Zetatalk site or at Rumor Mill News will provide a mindboggleing analysis of what could be in our immediate future within the next 5 years. These crooks are trying to get all of the money the public be dammed. The extraterrestials have already disabled more than one underground missile and have done other amazing things to frustrate some of these illegal government activities. You may think I am a nut for suggesting that these events are happening. So be it. Denial continues to be the easiest way to raise doubts and to deflect public opinion.
