It was posted on a news site I read earlier. So Mr. Constitutional professor Obama either isn't as up on the Constitution as he claims, or he is purposely refusing to enforce the Constitution. And, well, the yokels claim to be doing what they're doing as a defense of the Constitution, yet it seems to me that you can't make that claim, while violating Constitutional law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-62572831962224070092016-01-05T12:41:18.949-05:002016-01-05T12:41:18.949-05:00In this particular case, like the "terrorists...In this particular case, like the "terrorists" of the 70s, they are demanding the release of "political" prisoners. A couple of like-minded yahoos who admitted to committing arson on federally-owned property, either to hide evidence of poaching or to "protect" their property from possible invasive species and/or wildfires. The ironic thing is, the culprits in question, <i>agreed to turn themselves in and face the consequences of their actions.</i><br /><br />I think the truth is that these losers are simply trying to get themselves some free publicity - possibly, as some have theorized, in the hopes of getting a "reality tv" series.<br /><br />Either way, the government has already proven itself weak in refusing to act immediately against armed people who have illegally broken in to and are occupying a government-owned building without permission. The government's refusal to act will surely embolden even more such lunatics. This will, I believe, be Obama's only true legacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-35825963695155261742016-01-05T11:46:49.107-05:002016-01-05T11:46:49.107-05:00As for the Bundys, how do we know they're not ...As for the Bundys, how do we know they're not sick.....?

These idiots in Oregon are a reminder that even in a liberal democracy there has to be a limit on our indulgence of people who say no to everything government proposes, in spite of the electorate or the democratic principle.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-63214406304214843642016-01-04T16:05:35.918-05:002016-01-04T16:05:35.918-05:00It would be nice if the government simply sent in ...It would be nice if the government simply sent in Seal Team 6 to deal with the criminals. A strong government would have no problem sending a message, in no uncertain terms, to these self-styled militiamen. There is ONE authority in this nation and that authority is granted by VOTE, not be some rag-tag gang of gun-toting criminal thugs. As an American citizen I am appalled and sickened by the realization of just how weak the United States government has become.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
