RE: Are you Republican?
The reason that the federal gov't. doesn't do anything right is because they try to do more than what the constitution allows them to do.
The federal gov't was tasked with the responsibility of keeping us safe from foreign invaders, (they've done a bang up job of that), and to make sure that the state gov't doesn't infringe on the rights of individuals. Nearly everything else belongs to the states. ORIGINAL: Red600RR ORIGINAL: fishfryer527 Democrats are retards. Obama for your mama Are you ready for socialism? Then vote for Big Barrack. Here's a stunning idea...READY? Brace yourself...less taxes and less government. Period. Name one thing the federal government does well...just one. And he wants to expand the government? oooookkkaayyyyyy. Keep your f*ck*n hands out of my wallet..I already pay enough in taxes. And for what?!?!?!? Puuuuuulllleeezzzeeee |

RE: Are you Republican?
And now for my final post, (for now):)
Just to clarify: We do not live in a democracy. The US is, and has always been, a Constitutional Republic. In a Democracy, everyone has a say and their opinion matters. It is feasibly impossible to govern an entire country by a true democracy. It never ceases to amaze me when people say that we are "spreading democracy" across the world. We don't have any democracy to spread. We went into Iraq and are helping them to set up their own Constitutional Republic. And even then I use the term republic loosely. The founding fathers wanted a Republic, (a state that is not governed by a monarch or other hereditary head of state), that was governed by a Constitution. What is sad is that I work with a lot naturalized US citizens, (Indians, Asians, Muslims etc), and they know the Constitution better than any US-born person with which I work. The Constitution: learn it, love it and live by it. ORIGINAL: SpiritRR ORIGINAL: HARDCORP 8654 What happened to the Republic That's what I mean. The republic in which this democracy was founded has nothing to with Republicans and Democrats... |

RE: Are you Republican?
I think this may have to do with motivation.
They need to do a lot of studying at a later stage in their life to become an citizen. When most of training should be done...is during school, yet, even my American History class in High School hardly touched on it. What motivations do we have to do the extensive studying at a young age when we are already here? The interests for such things usually doesn't appear until later in life, unless something has influenced you down that path earlier. |
RE: Are you Republican?
+1 to all of this. The problem is that most adult American citizens feel "what motivations do we have to do the extensive studying at an older age?".;)
Most of this stuff comes from government class, which I hated at the time because it didn't seem relevant. Boy was I stupid.:) ORIGINAL: woo545 I think this may have to do with motivation.

I am absolutely ecstatic that yoo chose to use the word republic loosely, because if in anyway you think this truly resembles a republic then you re living in a ****INGFantasy World if you believe our current structure government has any problem with adding amendments to modify the good Constitution to fit whatever they needed it to, once again, you're living in a fantasy world. If your vocation is one of teacher. I suggest you consult your constituents to quit using the word democracy. When discussing our current form of government with the youth of this nation, regardless of the original origin. Let's see if your 19th post is asbig a sensation as the 19th amendment was or at least thought-provoking would be quite happy to debate the Constitution with you here or anywhere else I personally have spent enough damn time defending the damn thing to pick it apart |
