guarantees."

Vladimr328- If we accept your logic - wouldn't it be easier to rule the people if we took away all their guns?

And the FACT of the matter is - What makes the Constitution such a beautiful document for governing people is that it does not give people freedon - it's restricts the governments ability to limit freedmon.
THE SCUM BAG WHO SAID THE ABOVE STATEMENT WAS CLINTON

Good question!! Also very good point that the constitution exists not to gurantee rights, but to restrict teh ability of govt to take them away. It must be remembered that our system of govt believes that power belongs to the people always & the govt never, that govt exists in a limited way to teh extend we allow it to do only what is absolutely necessary for us to live together with the freedom to succeed or fail on our own.

Bushies of all types should agree with this statement, if our Constitution had a loophole that allowed for some kind of terrorism, wouldnt you want to change it?
I agree with this statement all the way. NSA wiretaps are an live example of this statement in action by the Bush Admistration.
Thumbs up fellas. Get 'em all.

What is it with you conservatives and your obsession with Clinton? Is it just that you wish your guy was as honorable as him?
And you're really not going to like it when his wife gets elected President, are you?

Wow! I hadn't read that before! That's terrible. I don't know who said it, but not a person with democratic ideas, I'd say.

I didn't know that. But then, I stopped listening to Clinton after he said he smoked pot, but didn't inhale.
