Government - July 2006

THE POWER COMPANY IS KILLING PEOPLE.

Yesterday they turned off my room-mates power.; So, I went with a freind to cash my check and went to my house. Since they take 12-24 hours to turn on power in the middle of the summer [in MT we could shoot someone for turning off the power in winter because you could freeze to death] I found my room mate sitting in the heat. So, I went out back and tried to pry off this new fancy lock with a pry bar. And it didn't break, so, I smashed the small part of the panel with an old ax. I cannot lie, I cut down your ******* greed machine. So, I pulled off the meter and removed the plastic. Wear gloves, don't touch any metal.
I put it back toegether. Remember to reset your breakers and check your thermopstats, make sure your hvac comes back on.

They do this to people, and they die. What if you were not strong enough to break the lock? I am a strong person and it took all this raqe I have inside me for the innocent killing of humans todo IT

I mean, I understand their concern, since they used to have it and it was forcibly taken from them.

this is just a short list........LIMBAUGH: "If you have any doubts about the status of American health care, just compare it with that in other industrialized nations." (Told You So, p. 153)

REALITY: The United States ranks 19th in life expectancy and 20th in infant mortality among 23 industrialized nations, according to the CIA's 1993 World Fact Book. The U.S. also has the lowest health care satisfaction rate (11 percent) of the 10 largest industrialized nations (Health Affairs, vol. 9, no. 2).

LIMBAUGH: Denouncing Jeremy Rifkin of the Beyond Beef campaign as an "ecopest": "Rifkin is bent out of shape because he says the cattle consume enough grain to feed hundreds of millions of people. The reason the cattle are eating the grain is so they can be fattened and slaughtered, after which they will feed people, who need a high protein diet." (Ought To Be, p. 110)

REALITY: Sixteen pounds of grain and soy is required to produce one pound of edible food from beef (USDA Economic Research Service). As for needing a "high-protein diet," the World Health Organization and U.S. Department of Agriculture recommend that from 4.5 percent to 6 percent of daily calories come from protein. The amount of calories from protein in rice is 8 percent; in wheat it's 17 percent (USDA Handbook No. 456).

LIMBAUGH: "Do you know we have more acreage of forest land in the United States today than we did at the time the constitution was written." (Radio show, 2/18/94)

REALITY: In what are now the 50 U.S. states, there were 850 million acres of forest land in the late 1700s vs. only 730 million today (The Bum's Rush, p. 136). Limbaugh's claim also ignores the fact that much of today's forests are single-species tree farms, as opposed to natural old-growth forests which support diverse ecosystems.

Brotherhood...and Sisterhood

LIMBAUGH: "The videotape of the Rodney King beating played absolutely no role in the conviction of two of the four officers. It was pure emotion that was responsible for the guilty verdict." (Radio show, quoted in FRQ, Summer/93)

REALITY: "Jury Foreman Says Video Was Crucial in Convictions", read an accurate Los Angeles Times headline the day after the federal court verdict (4/20/93).

LIMBAUGH: "Anytime the illegitimacy rate in black America is raised, Rev. Jackson and other black 'leaders' immediately change the subject." (Ought to Be, p. 225)

REALITY: Jesse Jackson has been talking about and against "children having children" in speeches and interviews for decades. So have many other black leaders, especially in the clergy.

LIMBAUGH: Praising Strom Thurmond for calling a gay soldier "not normal": "He's not encumbered by being politically correct.... If you want to know what America used to be--and a lot of people wish it still were--then you listen to Strom Thurmond." (TV show, 9/1/93)

REALITY: In the America that "used to be," Strom Thurmond was one of the country's strongest voices for racism, running for president in 1948 on the slogan, "Segregation Forever."

LIMBAUGH: "There are more American Indians alive today than there were when Columbus arrived or at any other time in history. Does this sound like a record of genocide?" (Told You So, p. 68)

REALITY: According to Carl Shaw of the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, estimates of the pre-Columbus population of what later became the United States range from 5 million to 15 million. Native populations in the late 19th century fell to 250,000, due in part to genocidal policies. Today the U.S.'s Native American population is about 2 million.

President Bush's penchant for writing exceptions to laws he has just signed violates the Constitution, an American Bar Association task force says in a report highly critical of the practice.
The ABA group, which includes a one-time FBI director and former federal appeals court judge, said the president has overstepped his authority in attaching challenges to hundreds of new laws.

The attachments, known as bill-signing statements, say Bush reserves a right to revise, interpret or disregard measures on national security and constitutional grounds.

"This report raises serious concerns crucial to the survival of our democracy," said the ABA's president, Michael Greco. "If left unchecked, the president's practice does grave harm to the separation of powers doctrine, and the system of checks and balances that have sustained our democracy for more than two centuries."

Some congressional leaders had questioned the practice. The task force's recommendations, being released Monday in Washington, will be presented to the 410,000-member group next month at its annual meeting in Hawaii.

ABA policymakers will decide whether to denounce the statements and encourage a legal fight over them.

The task force said the statements suggest the president will decline to enforce some laws. Bush has had more than 800 signing statement challenges, compared with about 600 signing statements combined for all other presidents, the group said.

Noel J. Francisco, a former Bush administration attorney who practices law in Washington, said the president is doing nothing unusual or inappropriate.

"Presidents have always issued signing statements," he said. "This administration believes that it should make clear ... when the Congress is getting close to the lines that our Constitution draws."

Francisco said the administration's input is part of the give and take between the branches of government. "I think it's good that the debate is taking place at a public level," he added.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said last month that "it's important for the president at least to express reservations about the constitutionality of certain provisions."

The ABA report said President Reagan was the first to use the statements as a strategic weapon, and that it was encouraged by then-administration lawyer Samuel Alito now the newest Supreme Court justice.

The task force included former prosecutor Neal Sonnett of Miami; former FBI Director William Sessions; Patricia Wald, former chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit; former Republican Rep. Mickey Edwards; and former Reagan administration lawyer Bruce Fein; and law school professors and other lawyers.

More people were attacked by sharks again and alligators ate children. A rogue helicopter pilot is on the loose in this countries airspace, while George Bush does NOTHING about it. This pilot flew over my house at 3:30 yesterday marning. And it is the same pilot that voted for Bush gwo consectutive times. Iv've contacted the FAA USAF and the School Superintendant about this, along with an retired helicopter pilot from Vietnam. GEORGE BUSH tells us there is no problems with our waterways and that AMERICA is safe from harm, but people are martyred everyday by fish and reptiles.He claims our borders are secure, but how do African Chiclids and other fish get into community pet stores?

they shall be elected "together" --
Couldn't this mean "at the same time", instead of "as a team".
Furthermore it continues to say that in every case, after the president is elected, the person with the largest number of electors will be name vice president. Hmm.

Thanks for your help.

If you had to rewrite the US Constitution, what would you add to it? What would you take out of it? What kind of government would result?

Some knowledge of the US Constitution might help to answer this question, so here it is, if you haven't already read it: http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.overview.html

Feel free to throw in your general opinions on constitutional design, outside of the US context...

Bush is so great. He is such a good president, he takes crap from no one and even gives crap to the undeserving. He is a master mind who can plan plane attacks on his own soil and get away with it. He attacks people for no reason and slaughters them. Provides America with lots and lots of oil and still oil prices rise. He wins rigged election's, decieves the poulation with the media.
Trying to create a New world order one government which tells us what to think, buy, eat and say. I just love how he has the dumb christian are fully behind him with his holy war against the evil middle east. And I love the fact that he is just a puppet who is over seen buy the jewish cabals.
