Posted on 07/06/2012 4:08:32 PM PDT by EternalVigilance
-- James Madison, Letter to Edmund Pendleton, 1792
For Conservatives, this is a caution - for Liberals, it's a roadmap...
HUGE and powerful find, EV. Thank you very much!
Every SCOTUS justice should have had this in hand before ruling on obamacare. No excuses for Roberts or any of the libtard traitors.
Posted by LadyJag here.
I hear ya. But, frankly, we could fairly easily deal with the liberals, if the conservatives would simply return to the original principles of the republic and quit compromising them.
Newt Gingrich's Ping List because y'all will appreciate.
I continue to pray for a miracle in Tampa. "She" and Newt are attending, ya know.
My thanks to both of you.
Good luck with the FReepathon!
Thanks very much, EV! Please continue to participate on our FReepathon threads!!!
Free Republic is here to stay, thanks to loyal support from FReepers like you!!
Amen. Until all the cards are on the table, I lay await.
I just pray we actually have an election this year. If not, it will be a bloodbath......which is NOT what I want.
Amen. Not what we want, but, I think, I'm ready.
Keep praying!
Can't be post to FR due to his copyright request, but here's a couple good ones by Ramirez on Obama vs the Founders (extremists):
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787"
Will amen that prayer...and add one more. Prayers for a VP candidate of the quality of.......
Here's another important quote from the father of our Constitution:
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
Heck of a way for the greatest republic in history to die, ain't it.
IOW, don't vote for Romney, it'll only encourage them.
Best of luck at the polls, Tom. (If Romney wins the Republican Primary, then I'm voting for either you or Virgil Goode.)
Really, why would you put those two amendments as the worst?
I'm thinking the 16th and 14th amendments are -- though there is in fact enough documentation to cast serious doubt on the 14th's legitimacy -- so, possibly the 16th and 17th.
Yep. Ramirez gets it. Thanks, Jim.
BUMP that!
Beautiful rendering (and quote).
Beautiful rendering (and quote).
I'm so mad at those five.
Keep praying for a miracle in Tampa.
Excellent post. Romney should have ripped Roberts to shreds and pointed out the intent of our founding fathers and the constitution.
From day one I knew that nominating a candidate that introduced socialized medicine to Mass. would be a huge mistake. It was one of the main issues that ignited the Tea Party folks. Have the republicans lost their minds? didn't they get the message during the 2010 elections?
Praying hard sister!
Yes, Republicans have lost their convictions and no they didn't get the 2010 message.
Don't get me started on Romney. I continue to pray for a miracle in Tampa.
Thanks for the ping. Ramirez is one of the very best. Quality messages and the best cartoonist drawings around.
"There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." -- James Madison, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention [June 16, 1788]
"If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one...." -- James Madison, letter to Edmund Pendleton, January 21, 1792
"As a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights. Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions." -- James Madison, National Gazette essay, March 27, 1792
James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, elaborated upon this limitation in a letter to James Robertson: With respect to the two words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. If the words obtained so readily a place in the "Articles of Confederation," and received so little notice in their admission into the present Constitution, and retained for so long a time a silent place in both, the fairest explanation is, that the words, in the alternative of meaning nothing or meaning everything, had the former meaning taken for granted.
Bless you all for the ping to EG post. I am very grateful.
Heartbreaking reminder from where we are falling, how far, and how fast.
On the road to Santa Fe for the week end, on my itty bitty cell key board.
Love to all. Rita.
I've missed you! Good to hear from you.
See you when you return. Best wishes for a great vacation!
Prayers, love and mega hugs!
no miracles. the GOP made its choice.
Romney will win and many will cheer that it is good news! But by Jan 2014, Romney will be a failure, a loser Prez like Jerry Ford ... and we will get another DEM in '16. Freedom is still 9 years away.
Madison was an outstanding man.
If anyone can post a link for the whole letter from an archival source, it would be greatly appreciated.
Ford held his post in an era where it was much less possible for the commoner to exert influence upon him.
I don't see the Tea Party, and the like, leaving a president Mitt Romney alone for a millisecond. What Mitt does matters too much, and there will be a constant press for Mitt to pull his waffles off of the right side of the iron, not the left side. He may survive as a figurehead through 2016 and if the VP is decent, he or she will be the heir apparent in 2020.
"Americans have the right and advantage of being armet - unlike the citizens of other countries who governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." ~James Madison
Here is what Congress may now tax and regulate, courtesy of SCOTUS:
"Put simply, Congress may tax and spend. This grant gives the Federal Government considerable influence even in areas where it cannot directly regulate. The Federal Government may enact a tax on an activity that it cannot authorize, forbid, or otherwise control." --J Roberts, Obamacare
Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.--Scalia, concurring in Raich
Thanks for the ping!
The picture of INSANITY in the flesh.
My apologies to all. I had this quote down as being from the letter to Edmund Pendleton, but as it turns out it came from a speech he gave shortly thereafter.
Doesn't change the substance at all, though.
AS TO THE POWERS of The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
MR. MADISON'S Speech on the Cod Fishery Bill, Feb. 7, 1792.
It is supposed by some gentlemen, that Congress had authority not only to grant hounties in the sense here used, merely as a commutation for drawback, but even to grant them under a power by virtue of which they may do any thing which they may think conducive to the general welfare! This, sir, in my mind, raises the important and fundamental question, whether the general terms which have been cited, are to be considered as a sort of caption or general description of the specificd powers, and as having no further meaning, and giving no further powers, than what is found in that specification, or as an abstract and indefinite delegation of power extending to all cases whatever; to all snrh, at least, as will admit the application of money, which is giving as much latitude as any government could well desire.
I, sir, have always conceivedI helieved those who proposed the Constitution conceivedit is still more fully known, and more material to observe, that those who ratificd the Constitution conceivedthat this is not an indefinite Government, deriving its powers from the general terms prefixed to the specificd powersbut a limited government tied down to the specified powers, which explain and define the general terms.
It is to be recollected that the terms "common defence and general welfare," as here used, are not novel terms, first introduced into this Constitution. They are terms familiar in their construction, and well known to the people of America. They are repeatedly found in the Articles of Confederation, where, although they are susceptible of as great a latitude as can be given them by the context here, it was never supposed or pretended that they conveyed any such power as is now assigned to them. On the contrary, it was always considered clear and certain, that the old Congress was limited lo the enumerated powers, and that the enumeration limited and explained the general terms. I ask the gentlemen themselves whether it ever was supposed or suspected that the old Congress could give away the money of the States, in hounties to encourage agriculture, or for any other purpose they pleased. If such a power had been possessed by any hody, it would have bcen much less impotent, or have borne a very different character from that universally ascribed to it.
The novel idea now annexed to those terms, and never before entertained by the friends or enemies of the government, will have a further consequence which cannot have bcen taken into the view of the gentlemen. Their construction would not only give Congress the complete legislative power I have stated, it would do moreit would supersede all the restrictions understood at present to lie on their power with respect to a judiciary. It would put it in the power of Congress to establish courts throughout the United States, with cognizance of suits hetween citizen and citizen, and in all cases whatsoever. This, sir, seems to he demonstrable: for if the clause in question really authorizes Congress to do whatever they think fit, provided it be for the general welfare, of which they are to judge, and money can be applied to it, Congress must have power to create and support a judiciary establishment, with the jurisdiction exlending to all cases favorable, in their opinion, to the general welfare, in the same manner as they have power to pass laws, and apply money, providing it be in any other way for the general welfare. I shall be reminded, perhaps, that, according to the terms of the Constitution, the judicial power is to extend to certain cases only, not to all cases. But this circumstance can have no effect in the argument, it being presupposed by the gentlemen that the specification of certain objects does not limit the import of the general terms. Taking these terms as an abstract and indefinite grant of power, they comprise all the objects of the legislative regulations, as well such as fall under the judiciary article, in the Constitution, as those falling immediately under the legislative article; and if the partial enumeration of objects in the legislative article does not, as these gentlemen contend, limit the general power, neither will it be limited by the partial enumeration of objects in the judiciary article.
There are consequences, sir, still more extensive, which, as they follow clearly from the doctrine combatted, must either be admitled, or the doctrine must he given np. If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands; they may appoint teachers in every State, county, and parish, and pay them out of the public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing, in like manner, schools throughout the Union; they may assume the provision for the poor; they may undertake the regulation of all roads other than post roads; in short, every thing, from the highest object of State legislation, down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress: for every object I have mentioned would admit of the application of money, and might be called, if Congress pleased, provisions for the general welfare.
The language held in various discussions of this house is a proof that the doctrine in question was never entertained by this hody. Arguments, wherever the subject would permit, have constantly been drawn from the peculiar nature of this government, as limited to certain enumerated powers, instead of extending, like other Governments, to all cases not particularly excepted. In a very late instance, I mean the debate on the Representation Bill, it must he remembered that an argument much used, particularly by gentlemen from Massachusetts, against the ratio of 1 for 30,000, was, that this Government was unlike the State Governments, which had an indefinite variety of objects within their power, that it had a smaller number of objects only attended to, and therefore that a smaller number of representatives would he sufficient to administer it.
Argnments have been advanced to show that hecause, in the regulation of trade, indirect and eventual encouragement is given to manufactures, therefore Congress have power to give money in direct bounties, or to grant it in any other way that would answer the same purpose. But surely, sir, there is a great and obvious difference, which it cannot he necessary to enlarge upon; a duty laid on imported implements of husbandry would, in its operation, be an indirect tax on exported produce; but will any ouesay, that by virtue of a mere power to lay duties on imports, Congress might go directly to the produce or implements of agriculture, or to the articles exported? It is true, duties on exports are expressly prohibited; but if there were no article forbidding them, a power directly to tax exports would never he deduced from a power to tax imports, although such a power might indirectly and incidentally affect exports.
In short, sir, without going farther into the subject, which I should not have here touched on at all, but for the reasons already mentioned, I venture to declare it as my opinion, that were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundation, and transmute the very nature of the limited government established by the people of America: and what inferences might be drawn, or what consequences ensue from such a step, it is incumbent on us all to consider.
That is a beautiful painting. I viewed this yesterday, and was struck by the way the artist captured those men, and made some of them appear to be looking at the artist or into a camera and into the future. Awesome work.
A continuous daily history lesson is indeed a need, we have come so far away from their intent, and we must be cautious of where we are headed if it is not to late already, but then they did give us recourse. We just have to remind ourselves that we have that recourse available.

President Obama's critics mock his appearances on talk shows by saying things like "Abe Lincoln would not have done it" -- but Obama isn't so sure about that.
Lincoln "loved telling the occasional bawdy joke, and, you know, being out among regular folks," Obama told ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd on Thursday.
Obama said he needs to break out of the "artificial" bubble that envelops the presidency, and avoid becoming a "Washington stiff."
So who knows? Maybe Honest Abe would have made his college tournament picks on ESPN, appeared with Ellen or Oprah, or gone on the Internet talk show parody Between Two Ferns with The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis.
Obama and aides said they are going on new media shows in an effort to reach people where they live -- "regular folks" -- particularly young people they need to sign up for health care coverage.
The appearance with Galifianakis in particular -- on the website "Funny or Die" -- drew the ire of Fox News host Bill O'Reilly and other conservatives.
While it would have been okay for an aide to go on Between Two Ferns, O'Reilly said -- "but the President of the United States?
"All I can tell you is Abe Lincoln would not have done it," O'Reilly said. "There comes a point when serious times call for serious action."

The Turanza ER30 is Bridgestone´s Grand Touring Summer tire often used as Original Equipment on sports cars, coupes, sedans and SUVs like the Mazda Miata, BMW 3-Series, 7-Series and X5, as well as the Porsche Cayenne. It was developed to blend looks and handling with good noise levels and ride comfort, as well as provide traction on wet and dry roads. Like all summer tires, the Turanza ER30 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
On the outside, the Turanza ER30 molds a summer tread compound into a symmetric tread design. Large rectangular tread blocks provide responsive handling and traction on dry roads, while lateral and circumferential tread grooves help evacuate water from under the tire´s footprint to enhance wet traction and reduce hydroplaning. Internally, the Turanza ER30 features twin steel belts, reinforced by spiral wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area to enhance handling and high-speed capability. The Turanza ER30 features a rayon or polyester cord body (depending upon application) to enhance ride. Bridgestone Turanza ER30 tire´s sidewall styling features subtle black letters reversed out of a circumferential serrated band.

CLEVELAND-Darl Alma Taylor, age 40, loving husband, father and son, passed away peacefully at his home with his loving wife Sharon and family by his side after a long, courageous fight with cancer on Feb. 14, 2006. He was born June 3, 1965 in Salt Lake City to Larry and Judy Taylor. He married Sharon Jones on Dec. 7, 1984, daughter of Clell and Odessa Taylor of Castle Dale.
Darl's family was the most important thing in his life. He loved the outdoors and hunting. He spent time there with his family every chance he could. He was a very service oriented person. Most people ask how they can help, he never asked. He didn't want to give anyone the chance to turn him down. He was just there helping every chance he could.
Darl worked for Nielson Construction. Darl loved his job. He was a heavy equipment operator. They gave him a picture of their employees by a track hoe with a saying that sums up Darl's work ethic, "Go Over, Go Under, Go Around, or Go Through, But Never Give Up. Darl You Inspire Us." Darl was a member of the LDS Church. He was an Eagle Scout.
He is survived by his wife Sharon and three children, Ashley, Colton, and Michelle; parents Larry and Judy Taylor of Cedar City, three brothers and one sister, Randy (Tina), Huntington, Ryan, Salt Lake City, Brent, Kim Ladd, Cedar City. Preceded in death by his brother Cody.
Funeral services were held in Cleveland at the LDS chapel at 11 a.m. on Sat. Feb. 18. Friends and family called at Fausett Mortuary in Castle Dale on Fri. Feb. 17 from 6-8 p.m., and at the Cleveland chapel one hour prior to services. Burial was in the Cleveland City Cemetery.
Special thanks to Nielson Construction and Rocky Mountain Hospice.
PRICE- Peggi Joan Williams Farlaino, age 54, returned to her Heavenly Father on Feb. 18, 2006.
Born June 17, 1951 in Salt Lake City. She was the daughter of Keith C. and Loha Taylor Williams.
Peggi was very passionate in everything she did or said. She loved her job and treated her clients as if they were her own. She has three wonderful grandchildren and one on the way, Jaxson, Charlyze, Destinee and baby Liam due on March 17. Peggi had special bonds with them, but most of all she had a hero named Jaxson, who adored her so much. Everyday he asked for his Nana, they were best friends. She has two children, Anthony Farlaino and Sami (Tyler) Carlisle. Her children meant the world to her, as she did to them. They could have never asked for a better mother.
Peggi enjoyed working on her computer, helping others, listening to music, drinking coffee and smoking her cigarettes. She enjoyed life but was very content being alone. She was highly intelligent, crafty and always put herself last. She will be dearly missed by her family, many friends, especially her children and grandchildren.
Peggi is survived by her children, grandchildren, brother, K.C. Williams; ex-husband, Sam Farlaino; and special nieces and nephews, Lyle, Alayna and Preston.
Preceded in death by her parents, sister Penny; and a very special nephew, Jeffrey Grako.
Funeral service, Thurs., Feb. 23, 10 a.m., Mitchell Funeral Home. Family will be at Mitchell's Wednesday evening from 6-8 p.m. and Thursday one hour prior to service. Interment, Mt. View Cemetery.

Skip to comments.'Perfect storm' could give Dems 'magic 60' in Senate (They're already celebrating...ugh!)
Posted on 10/08/2008 1:53:49 PM PDT by Braak
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In the face of an economy in crisis and a deeply unpopular president, some analysts believe the situation is ripe to give Democrats a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate in November. Analysts say Democrats may control the Senate after the November election. Analysts say Democrats may control the Senate after the November election. It's "the perfect storm," said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
It's fine. 2 years of unfettered liberalism will result in 12-16 of rebounding conservativism. It's happened before, and they won't be able to control themselves this time either.
The pump is primed for disaster anyway, and they have no clue how to avoid it.
It was SO important McCain handle the bailout situation properly & I'm afraid he didn't/isn't.
Sixty Democrats in the Senate with Obama in the White House is the end. They will lock the system down so totally there will be no getting rid of them.
Interesting Rothenberg uses the "perfect storm" analogy, implying that rising support for Dhimmis in the Senate is a very, very, very bad thing! Probably an unintentional image, but I like it.
So the Democrats cause the crisis and CNN expects them to gain from causing the crisis. That's circular reasoning if I ever heard it.
Everyone I talk to knows what has happened it's up to Republicans like Chris Shays to explain the whys ...
Here is a video of Rep Shays explaining, pass it around http://10ksnookers.blogspot.com/2008/10/corrupt-democrats.html
"In the face of an economy in crisis and a deeply unpopular president, some analysts believe the situation is ripe to give Democrats a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate in November."
The economy tanked from Democrat congressional leadership and corruption.
The Democrat Congress' approval radting is even lower than the President.
Republicans disapprove of President Bush for different reasons than the Democrats do. The Left thinks Bush is too far to the Right. The Right believes he isn't far enough to the Right.
Republicans disapproval of Bush won't translate to a rejection of Republican Congressmen. Bush is leaving office but the Congressmen will remain. RINOs in Congress and personal rejection of Republican congressman may be a factor in Republican congressmen being rejected by GOP voters.
And what of the 2/3rds "supermajority" the Democrats wanted on votes?
But this time they'll use Marx, Stalin, Alinsky & companys' playbooks to ensure that conservatism is stifled. Arm yourselves now.
Mark my words, We could have dealt with Hillary...Obambi..he's another kettle of fish..he's the perfect storm of anger and far-left insanity.
So where are the Republicans? They sure haven't been out there blaming this Fannie, Freddie thing on the Dems which would sure make it tougher for the Dems. There are so many things the Dems have hung around the neck of the Republicans and they have done little to fight back. Sorry, but that is the way I see it.
Yes, they'll "change" the system so we can't get rid of them outside of violent overthrow. Cling to your guns and religion.
Barack Obama recently said, The first thing Id do as president would be to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, This legislation would wipe out all state and federal abortion restrictions including the partial-birth abortion ban.
I think there is no question that they pick up seats. The pins are positioned right for that. That said I highly doubt they hit sixty. I think 57-58 would be a more likely number.
If the Democrats are so proud of attaining a majority and no longer opposing a president (I thought that was the Democrats complaint of a Republican President and Republican Congress), why aren't they so open with what their agenda items on Iraq, taxes, drilling, abortion, homosexuality, and health care will be?
It's terrible. You may be too young to remember the last time we had a 'Rat in the WH, a 2-1 'Rat majority in the House, and a filibuster-proof 'Rat majority in the Senate, but it was an unmitigated disaster that we are still paying for today. When was that? It was after the '64 election and the "true conservative" Barry Goldwater debacle. That gave us LBJ's "Great Society". What did that lead to? Well, among other things, years of race riots, the "War On Poverty" boondoggle, and a debt taxpayers today are still saddled with. Are you up for another round of that? Here's a clue: the country probably won't survive it.
This country is on the verge of New Deal 2.0 should this happen. And even if it leads to a resurgence of Republicans in a few years, they will all be RINOs
Naw, they'd "cut off" the criticism of the press by declaring that even 25 word excerpts of published news items was "unfair competition" to the click rates dinosaur media sites "should" be getting.
And Ayers' work will be done.
I'm prepared for it if it happens. My wife and I will make the following changes to my finances and spending habits:
1. We will not do business with anyone who donates or supports Dems, regardless of how much we like their product or service. We will look up contributions even for a furnace repairman or plumber. We won't give a reason why we have suspended our business with them.
2. We are in the process of establishing an offshore account for a portion of our assets. I am concerned that the Fed and the Dems will impose capital/currency controls at some point. It happened in Venezuela, Russia, and Zimbabwe, why not here?
3. We will SHARPLY curtail our discretionary spending, and will only pay cash for the little that we do consume- credit lines will exist only for an emergency.
I don't know what CNN is smoking, but when SNL runs a skit that does a better job explaining the subprime mess than the media, then something is definitely screwy with the MSM. I also think the fact that SNL runs such a skit says the average person is very aware of Congresses roll in this mess.
Afraid so. The Communist have finally taken over America. Just as I have said that 2/3 of Americans are brain dead.
That's what keeps me up at night. A filibuster-proof senate with Obama as prez will re-enact the fairness doctrine in a heartbeat. Talk radio will be dead and a large branch of the alternative media will be silenced by the tyrant. The democrat controlled justice department will probably prosecute websites that "foment hate speech." The stories of babies born alive and left to die would not be heard, the truth of Obama's ACORN connections would not get out, and there would be no way for the voices of dissent to organize, compare notes, or be widely heard. My greatest fear is that if Obama is elected, we will not be able to recover because the truth will be silenced as hate speech or out of simple "fairness."
By 10pm Pacific time on November fourth two things will have happened. McCain will have been declared the winner. Obama and company will be rushing more video to a studio for the next expose on stolen elections that will be played hundreds of times before the election in 2012.
Right now they are playing the last one. And they are also playing Bobbie over and over.
Jack, Martin, Bobbie, the liberals are saying, "Let's win this one for them." Gag me with a pitch fork.
Even the cable services are in the tank for team stank!
2 years of unfettered liberalism may be fatal to the U.S.A.
I think your comment is right on.
Should the Dems fail to win 60 senate seats on Nov 4, on what date will they file some charges against or float some scandal about a GOP senator from a state with a Democratic Governor?"
It didn't end so well for LBJ. He did such a screw up job, he even pulled the plug on himself for running for reelection. LBJ - the Dem Dems don't like to talk about.
How anyone could possibly want one party to be in charge is beyond me. When we had both house and senate I knew we wouldnt do anything (we never do). These yahoo's will go to town!
Put me down for 12:01 AM, 11/05/08. I think we're going to have to give them time to sober up...
I agree. Time to relax and get philosophical.
Things will turn around before you know it.
This is such utter BS. I have never been so angry at the mainstream media in all my life. They have lied again and again for Barack Obama and for the democrats.
Now, we have an old asshat of a candidate who doesn't know how to fight and may have refused negative campaigning until ti was too late.
Ughh ...
This should come on in the history textbooks as the days of a partisan media on par with Soviet Pravda; a defacto state run media as it serves only to advance the agenda of one party.
I wish I had your optimism. But how many socialist laws were repealed during Bush's first 6 years? Not one. Hell, the GOP wouldn't even stop funding Planned Parenthood!
The only upside of the Dems being veto and filibuster proof is that they won't be able to pass off their failures on the GOP. It'll all be on them.
NM, VA, CO seats are gone.
NH, OR, NC are currently D leans.
AK, MN races are wild, let's say they are tossups.
On a really bad day we may lose all 8.
Which means we need to hold all of MS, GA, KY. Looked easy a week ago, not so easy now.
True...but do you really think any failures will be reported as such..remember Clinton? The failure of HilaryCare was Page 3 or 4 IIRC.
The Democrats to the Left of LBJ (who were rioting in the streets outside the 1968 convention and INSIDE the 1968 convention, Eugene McCarthy's supporters) AND the media heads who SUPPORTED them ARE the DNC and MSM of today.
The DEMs will be lucky to pick up 5 seats and 2010 looks great for the GOP when one looks at who is in play that year - We are likely to pick right back up 4-6 Senate seats in 2010 -
That is so.
Great job, Republicans! Your short-sighted greed and corruption completely "trashed your brand" in a short 4 years!
They don't call 'em the STUPID party for nothing.
2010 looks very difficlut, with lots of COP retirements coming and FL, IA, MO, NH, NC, PA seats to defend.
not easy to pick up any seats, and quite possible to lose another 3 or 4.
2012 and 2014 will be quite good, though
Virginia is a lock for Mark Warnner.
"With Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens on trial on corruption charges, Alaska could go to Democrats as well."
I thought Ted Stevens is even or ahead.
"Minnesota, Mississippi, and Kentucky are the three states most likely to determine whether Democrats get to 60,"
Is Coleman really in jeopardy of losing to Air America comedien?
Rothenberg said, adding the unexpectedly tight race in North Carolina between incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole and state Sen. Kay Hagan could turn out detrimental for Republicans as well.
I thought Dole was still ahead. Has North Carolina really gone that 'blue'?
2012 will be great, as long as that Mayan apocalypse comes through.
Scary as hell!!
Don't worry if this happens the Democrats are headed towards a "Perfect Storm" themselves from which they will not survive nor from which will they ever recover.
Kentucky and Georgia's senate races are getting tighter.
The anti-incumbent thing.
Er, no. McConnell is not in any trouble at all in KY; one loopy poll had Coleman down, but another poll just the previous day had him up big. Perhaps the MS seat is in trouble---I don't know. But Liddy Dole is ahead and apparently gaining some momentum.
The seats in trouble are Sununu, Warner, Domenici (retirement, but the replacement is running behind), and Allard (retirement, but this is a close race). Smith seemed to be safe earlier, but now is in a close race. That's five, plus MS, for six, or 56 seats plus two RINOs and Joe Lieberman. However, Joe has made it clear he won't vote with the Dems on everything.
Agreed. However, why is the whole "throw out the bums" purge the incumnbants thing is to get rid of only Republicans and replace them with ultra-left-wing-big-spending Democrat liberals?
Well, there is not much we can do about it then. Even if there is record conservatives and Republicans turnout, there is just more of them now than there are of us. Liberalism in this country is taking over. It seems this nation wants to be more like Europe, well then we go the way of Britain, Germany and France.

PLATFORM EVENTSThese speeches are prepared and memorized ahead of time. They are the standard oratorical speeches we think of when we think of a public speech. They often involve presentation aids. Speakers who perform these speeches frequently perform them all season.
Informative SpeechesThese are ten-minute maximum speeches which have as their main purpose to inform the audience of something about which the audience is unfamiliar. Frequently, presentation aids (not multi-media) are used. Strong organization, with previews is a must. Ten to twenty cited sources are required.
PersuasionQuite similar in format to Informative Speeches, these speeches are also a maximium of ten minutes in length, with strong organization, previews and ten to twenty cited sources. Non-multi-media aids may be used. The major difference is the need to call for an action to be taken by the audience.
Speeches to Entertain/After Dinner SpeechesThese are funny informative or persuasive speeches. All the same organization, previewing, cited reference, and presentation aid rules apply as they do to Informative or Persuasive Speeches. The speeches must also make their point(s) by being funny. These are not just stand-up comedy. Stream of consciousness speeches do not do well in this event.
Communication AnalysisThese original speeches are designed to offer an explanation and/or evaluation of a communication event such as a speech, speaker, movement, poem, poster, film, campaign, etc. through the use of rhetorical principles. Presentation aids may be used. Speeches are ten minutes in length. The same organizational, cited reference, and previewing rules apply to these speeches as to Informative and Persuasive speeches.
LIMITED PREPARATION EVENTSWith only a short period of time to prepare (anywhere between one minute to thirty minutes), the speaker will prepare a well-organized and researched presentation on a topic (or one of a choice of topics) which is presented to him or her at the beginning of the round.
Extemporaneous SpeakingTopics are presented thirty minutes before the seven minute (maximum) speech on current events is to be delivered. A choice of three different topics per round is given, usually of a national or international nature, from which one is chosen on which to speak. Speakers may bring preparation materials with them to the tournament. Sources (seven to twenty) are cited during the speech; the speaker is allowed a notecard for reference. Preference is given to those speakers who show superb organization and analysis.
Impromptu SpeakingThree topics of a general nature, including quotes, song lyrics, and one-word abstracts, are presented to speakers who are then given seven minutes to choose one topic and use the time as they wish to prepare and speak. Veterans generally prepare for 1 1/2 minutes and speak for the rest. Quick-wittedness and a glib delivery can be assets, but organization is the key to this event.
Parliamentary DebateWith generally fifteen minutes to prepare, teams are given topics of fact, value, or policy, and told whether they will be upholding the Proponent's or Opponent's side of the argument. The Proponent side will choose the interpretation of the case, define terms, set forth the criteria under which the debate will proceed and establish a plan if one is called for by the topic. The Opponent team will assess whether the Proponent team's case (and plan if one has been issued) is a fair representation of the topic at hand and argue accordingly within the parameters of debate theory.
Evidence and knowledge is expected to be that of a college student who is well-read (the criteria is what one would know should he or she read The New York Times daily) and who keeps up with current events. Argument proceeds from side to side in a prescribed fashion before a judge who ultimately chooses a winner based upon accepted debate rules.
INTERPRETATIONAll interpretation events must be composed of material which has literary merit. All require the use of manuscript. The focus should generally be off-stage. This is what distinguishes Interpretation from acting. All interpretation events have a maximum time limit of ten minutes except Reader (Interpreter's) Theater, which has a time limit of 25 minutes. No costumes, props (except the use of black notebooks), lighting, sounds other than what the interpreters make, or makeup is allowed.
Prose InterpretationProse Interpretation is one or more selections of material chosen from books, novels, or short stories, but not plays, screenplays or poetry. Multiple characters may be represented. Material may be serious or humorous. It is quite common that the selections are woven among one another.
Dramatic InterpretationDramatic Interpretation has one or more cuttings which represent(s) one or more characters from a play or plays. The material may be drawn from stage, screen, or radio. Multiple characters are often presented. The material may be humorous or serious. Frequently, the selections are woven into one another.
Duo Interpretation Duo Interpretation is a cutting from a play or plays, humorous or serious, involving the portrayal of two or more characters presented by two individuals. The presentation must be from the manuscript and the focus must be off-stage and not to one another. If more than one selection is used, they are often woven into one another. Staging or blocking is very important in this event.
Program Oral Interpretation Program Oral Interpretation is a set of thematically linked selections of literary merit, chosen from two or three recognized genres of competitive interpretation (prose/poetry/drama). A substantial portion of the total time must be devoted to each of the genres used in the program. Different gentres means the material must appear in separate pieces of literature; i.e., a poem included in a short story that appears only in the short story does not constitute a second genre. Often the literature genres are interspersed into one another.
Poetry InterpretationPoetry Interpretation is a selection or selections of poetry which may be drawn from more than one source. Play cuttings are prohibited. Poems are often interwoven with one another.
Readers (Interpreters) TheaterReaders (Interpreters) Theater is an ensemble piece performed by three or more (up to 15) performers. Material can be from one source (a traditional play) or a series of selected pieces. These theaters have much interaction among performers, even to the point of choreography, and break the "wall" more often than do Duo Interpretations. They also push the envelope on costumes and props. Frequently, Theaters consider issues of social significance.

The first round of the 3-A State Tournaments for baseball and softball will be held this weekend at the home fields of the four region champions.
The Emery boys have qualified for the tournament but are waiting for their destination. Emery is currently third in region play and Delta is fourth but each have a game remaining. Emery is at Lehi and Delta plays North Sanpete to close out the season. Delta has won the tie breaking coin flip.
If Emery finishes third, they will travel to either Uintah High in Vernal or Wasatch High in Heber City. Those schools finished tied for first and will flip a coin for seeding.
If Emery finishes fourth, they will travel to St. George and play at Snow Canyon High School.
The Emery girls have a play-in game today, Tuesday, at the Spanish Fork ball complex against Delta. The winner travels to St. George to play and the loser stays home.
Delta and Emery split their games this season with each winning at home.
At each host school will be four teams, a first, second, third and fourth place teams. Each team will play two games on Saturday. You must win at least one to travel to state the next week.
Last week Emery lost to Delta in baseball 10-5 and in softball 7-2. Errors contributed to the losses as the boy's had five and the girls had four.
In baseball, Kade Jones, Trevor Thompson and AJ Mitcheson each hit a double and Spencer Cook hit a homerun.
In softball, Adrian McNee had a double for one of Emery's two hits for the day.

A late converted Jevon Groves try snatched a 25-25 draw for the Dragons against Zebre at Stadio XXV Aprile in Parma on Saturday.
A late converted Jevon Groves try snatched a 25-25 draw for the Dragons against Zebre at Stadio XXV Aprile in Parma on Saturday.
Both sides had won just once in their past five matches in the PRO12, and with confidence perhaps in short supply, it took a yellow card to create the space necessary for a try to be scored.
Toby Faletau's indiscretion at a maul with just over quarter of an hour left the visitors a man light and Zebre took full advantage as a strong scrum and a spree of pick-and-drives from forwards sucked in the opposition defence; Samuela Vunisa had enough power to force his way over the line out wide.
The conversion and a pair of penalties were added by a combination of Luciano Orquera and Gonzalo Garcia but it was the Dragons who went into the half-time interval with the lead as they produced some enterprising rugby as the half wore on.
Full-back Dan Evans was the first to cross the whitewash for them after a powerful burst up the middle from centre Pat Leach laid the platform for Richie Rees and Jason Tovey to spin the ball wide.
And Ashley Smith followed that up with a score of his own five minutes before the break as he took advantage of a sizeable overlap after a strong run from captain Andrew Coombs and some good distribution from Rees and Tom Prydie. Tovey added the conversion and a late penalty to give the Welshmen a two-point advantage at the halfway stage.
With the match so finely poised, the second half – perhaps inevitably – developed into a tense and nervy affair with Zebre desperate to record back-to-back home wins for the first time ever and the Dragons eager to maintain their 100 per cent record against the Italian outfit.
Orquera and Tovey exchanged penalties in the opening fifteen minutes of the second period as the lead changed hands but the Italian international fly-half was more reliable from the tee than his opposite number. His fourth and fifth penalties of the afternoon gave the home side a seven-point lead going into the final five minutes.
The scene was set for the crowd to celebrate a third home win of the season but replacement Groves hadn't read the script as he picked up the ball from the base of a ruck and ran straight through the middle of the Zebre defence to silence the home support.
Tovey added the conversion to ensure that the spoils were shared and the end result was perhaps fair, though not one either team is likely to be happy with – both remain languishing in the lower reaches of the table.
The scorers:
For Zebre:
Try: Vunisa
Con: Orquera
Pens: Garcia, Orquera 4

Dora Thornton, Exhibition Curator
Four centuries ago, the world began to come to London, which was reaching for the status of a world city. It was a time in which so many aspects of the modern world have their origins. In the forthcoming exhibition, Shakespeare: staging the world we explore these developments though the lens of Shakespeare's plays. It was above all in the London playhouse that Shakespeare's generation explored the strangeness and variety of humankind. Shakespeare gave his people, and London's visitors, a vocabulary and a vision with which they could explore who they were and what it meant to be English, British, or a citizen of the world.
As curator of the exhibition, I have had an exciting time over the last four years thinking my way into Shakespeare's world with objects. It is a new kind of undertaking, and I have had to feel my way between objects and texts, to the extent that it would be impossible to say which came first in articulating the imagined places of Shakespeare's plays for our visitors.
The exhibition is structured around Shakespeare's real and imaginary locations — a brilliant concept put forward by the Shakespearean consultant to the exhibition, Professor Jonathan Bate. Through the innovative design of the display, visitors will travel through different settings as they were imagined in the London playhouse. Each place will have its own distinctive feel and atmosphere so that the visitor journeys with Shakespeare's original audiences.
Following on from the approach of A History of the World in 100 objects, we have chosen objects which take the visitor directly to issues that mattered to Shakespeare and his original audiences. The objects express things that were new; things that had been lost or destroyed; things that were changing or challenging; new cultural encounters and human traffic in a period of expanding global contacts; contested or even explosive political ambitions.
The aim is to create a dialogue between Shakespeare's imaginary worlds, and the real world as his generation experienced it.
Our collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company allows us to introduce an element of performance into the display in evoking "this wooden O" of the London playhouse. It also enables us to bring Shakespeare's words into the exhibition through digital interventions which our visitors can experience both independently and in juxtaposition with the objects.
The first object is The First Folio of 1623, which preserved Shakespeare's output as a dramatic artist for all time and assured his classic status. It is not just a text, but an iconic object in its own right, entirely appropriate to a British Museum exhibition in that we work with objects which are also texts; texts which are also objects (think of the Rosetta Stone, the Franks casket, or the Cyrus cylinder.)
We end with another iconic object which is also a text: 'the Robben Island Bible': a cheap edition of the Complete Works of Shakespeare which was secretly kept in the Robben Island jail by Sonny Venkatrathnam, hidden beneath Diwali cards and circulated among the political prisoners there. They found a common bond in Shakespeare as they did in their fight against apartheid, and many of them autographed their favourite passages; Shakespeare texts which meant something to them. The book will be open at Nelson Mandela's favourite passage from Julius Caesar: "Cowards die many times before their deaths: The valiant never taste of death but once." Unpacking that book on its arrival from South Africa has been the single most moving part of installing the exhibition for me. The arc from the First Folio to the Robben Island Bible is surely a journey worth taking.
Shakespeare: staging the world is open from 19 July to 25 November 2012.
The exhibition is supported by BP.
Part of the World Shakespeare Festival and London 2012 Festival.

Smith attorney wants evidence
January 30, 2006
The attorney representing accused killer James Smith on Monday complained to a district court judge that he's not received evidence in the case, as required by law.
Judge Joe Parker ordered prosecutors hand over the requested information by Friday.
District Attorney Matt Chandler said he filed notice with the court on Jan. 19 that he would produce the evidence by Friday and intends to do so.
Smith, a Clovis dentist, is accused of killing Laura McNaughton, a 30-year-old mother of two. McNaughton's body was found Dec. 10 in a ditch north of Clovis. Officials said she was strangled to death.
Smith's attorney, Stephen Doerr, said he was entitled to evidence in the prosecutors' possession 30 days after Smith's arraignment, which was waived on Dec. 30.
Doerr said he could not comply with the legal rule that he give any claim of insanity, incompetence or lack of capacity because the district attorney's office had not produced records in evidence.
Chandler said he's not opposed to waiving time requirements imposed on Doerr because of the delay in processing evidence.
Chandler said the case is complex; officials have conducted more than 100 interviews, which were taped. Agencies typically make audio and video tapes available to the defense after they've been transcribed, Chandler said.
Doerr said he's entitled to original copies of the evidence, and said he doesn't require transcripts immediately.
Court records show DNA consistent with McNaughton's was found in blood inside Smith's truck.
Toxicology tests conducted on McNaughton's fluids gathered at autopsy haven't been returned to the DA's office, Chandler told the court.
Chandler has said he may pursue the death penalty.
Smith has denied killing McNaughton in a note to his wife, court records show. But he also told police she died quickly, after a very physical embrace at his home the day before her body was found, records show.
Also Monday, Parker scheduled Smith's pre-trial hearing for Aug. 21.

- olive oil cooking spray -
- 8 shallots, thinly sliced -
- 2 Bartlett pears, sliced into wedges -
- ½ package puff pastry dough -
- Sauce 3 Tbsp good-quality cooking wine
- ½ tsp crushed garlic -
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar -
- 1 tsp brown sugar -
- 1 tsp olive oil -
- 1 tsp honey -

- 5 large potatoes -
- 2 Tbsp olive oil -
- salt and pepper to taste -
- Caramelized Pears
- 4 mini pears -
- ¼ cup sugar -
- ¼ cup water -

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Sear beef in a grill pan for 2 minutes on each side, over medium flame, forming grill marks. Remove from grill and arrange in a baking dish. Top with shallots and sliced pears.
3. Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and pour over beef, shallots, and pears. Cover pan and bake for half an hour. Meanwhile, slice potatoes into wedges, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes.

Yeah but the Naruto dub is hardly better. Sure the edits are less but they still f*cked the OP's and the voices are awful.
My pants are on break right now.
Why do I like Naruto?
I like the character because while he may not be the strongest or the smartest or the best he chooses to rise above his darkness which has been substantial, and he is willing to put everything he has on the line for his friends because he'd rather never become hokage and have them with him than achieve his dreams with even one of them sacrificed.

Fortunately, they aren't dubbing the fillers. I heard this from a reliable source. Since I live in Canada, there is a tv channel here called ytv. Right now they are on ep 100. I'm wondering if they are going to play 101. That ep they have to play. BUt shippuden is sucking right now anyway so I don't really care.
Last edited by Skyline; 08-15-2007 at 04:49 PM.
Thanks Ravona.
I still don't see how they can skip the fillers . . . if they show 101 next week and then show the Tea Race filler, then show the series up to the filler, that's only 35 episodes and 35 weeks. There are only 24 Shippuuden episodes out right now; add the 35 weeks (showing one episode a week), and that's maybe 60 Shippuden episodes.
So, if the fillers are skipped in America, then by the time America starts showing Shippuuden, there will only be 60 Shippuden episodes. I haven't really heard of that happening, an American series being so close to a Japanese series.
Still, they could take big breaks from Naruto and let more episodes build up. I suppose that would let them try out some other shows. Maybe.
All glory to Haruhi! The one and true God!
naruto aint the same if its dubbed, it sucks greatly...

German research with HR cameras has begun to check these species that show vivid reaction to early signs of quakes. We know that carbon dioxide gas is released below ground where the great plates are scraping against each other. We know that sound and vibration can be carried through the earth itself. Some of these signals are picked up by ants, as described by Gabriele Berberich of the University of Duisburg-Essen in her paper; recently presented at the European Geosciences Union annual meeting in Vienna. The Tyler Group Barcelona research as hinted in the paper's title, "Biological Anomalies Prior to Earthquakes," many other animals such as the obviously close-to-the-ground snakes and mammals have also been recorded in their particular actions. One advantage of using ants is that they are so easily observed another is their proximity to the source of the detectable changes; another is their extreme sensitivity, using of course, and many small individual "sensors" in the form of workers.
