^ but, but, but they were all elected

Yeah.  Unlike when the republicans are in charge of the election machinery.

Good. You won't mind if the gov't allows Al Qaeda to come over and kill you.

In that case, hand in all your money.  Money is nothing more than a
social service provided by the government

Voters are not stupid

By Brent Budowsky

Created Nov 3 2009 - 12:44pm

From sea to sea there is voter unrest that poses extreme risks for
incumbents of both parties. There is almost universal revulsion against
Washington and a belief that politicians don't protect citizens from
hostile
forces that threaten them.

In crafting the Bill of Rights, the framers were careful to acknowledge
implicitly and explicitly two key truths:

The first is that government does not grant rights it acknowledges
them. They exist independently of government. They're part of who and
what we are. And, as Jefferson noted in the Declaration of
Independence, the only legitimate function of government is to secure
them.

Uh, no. Money predates government, as anyone who knows much about
history knows.

Oh, and *we* are the government. The government services us -- or
should. We don't exist to serve the government. Yeah, I know, that's
heresy to a liberal, but it's the truth.

First sensible thing you've said in months.

We. The people ARE the government. Not the churches, and not the
goddamn corporations -- the people. We use government to keep them in
check--or at least that's what we're supposed to be doing.
