Fifty-one, Fifty-five, Fifty-six

Here’s my favorites of the Federalist Papers: #51, #55, and #56. Read ‘em. Do it slow like. They’re great and there is some real fodder for the anti-leftard fires in those. If you have a fav, let me know what it is. Those articles are fucking brilliant, BTW. Its why we are the best, IMO. Oh, and here’s a link to them all. Enjoy!

This, from Madison, has always been my favorite bit of the federalist papers:

It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their won choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?

It’s from 62.

Rob.
Yea. Here here.

A close read of the federalist papers and one begins to realize that the founders intended there to be NO gun laws ever. The armed populace is a check/balance. No gun law debates ever talk about that. Once all the guns are removed from our hands, we will be at the will of others.

Sadly, few of the founders’ intents are ever discussed during policy debates in this country.  And we’re the poorer for it.

The translation of all this is: “I am going to justify trampling all that we hold near and dear with respect to the founders intent with hollow rhetoric.” Hold on to your seats folks. Christians, pray for Hilldog’s defeat. We need every little bit of help we can get. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for the right woman as president… but obviously it ain’t Hilldog. The amount of flip-flopping and garbage rhetoric the Dems (and all of us) are now accustomed to makes my stomach turn. I am for much more powerful states, and towns for that matter. Scale scares the shit out of me. Nowadays it is used to justify taking our power away… but the founders looked at it as just providing more ideas and discussion. The exact opposite is happening. Shit.

I hope her dirty past and all that Whitewater shit gets a fine toothed comb… and soon.

Hillary’s a big-time Marxist.

Yea. And not a worker either. People who believe in command economies and ‘capturing’ all our money have more than one screw loose. She’s going to save us from ourselves. That’s f**king scary (Sorry about the profanity, but I feel its more than warranted in this case).

...and she just might win. Where’s John O’Neil? Someone have him start coming up with some new lies.

Right, Sparkie, the guy who lied to Congress and called our soldiers in Vietnam “baby killers” is the truth teller and John O’Neill is the liar.  Sure thing. /sarcasm
