so we've gone from 90% to "nearly every govt department other than dod." is this what you term "specific"??? obamacare was ennacted by congress so how that is an "abuse of exectutive power" perhaps you can explain to me. i think obamacare sucks too, btw but not because the bastard abused his executive power. congress simply passed a law that won't fly before the supreme court but i'm not confident in that wild a** guess to put serious money on it. where has he utilized military force in a manner that the constitution does not allow? name one unconstitutional executive order he issued and how can a president unilarterally expand his powers beyond the constitution and what powers does he now have that every president in your lifetime didn't have? be specific please. you people give this guy way more credit for intelligence than he deserves.

Apprently you are foolish or fooled. The constitution was designed to protect us from government, not to subjugate us or the states to it. There is only one "Department of" anything that now exists and has grown out of the federal government that is supported and allowed by the consitution. It is the Department of Defense.

The constituion states that it's purpose is to PROVIDE for the common defense, and PROMOTE the general welafare. There is a huge difference between the definitions of the words "provide" and "promote". Nowadays it's all about "promoting" and less about "providing".

Anyone ignorant enough not to understand the difference has no place reasonalby worth considering in a debate over government powers. If your psoitioin is that the government has rights, you are a fool. The constitution was designed to give people rights and limit the power of government, not the other way around. The government has no rights. Only foolish people can't see or understand the difference.

So, sir...are you foolish or just plain ignorant? God help us if it is stupidity 'cause ther ain't no cure for that!

yep, when talking the constitution 100% correct is what it takes. so where SPECIFICALLY in the constitution is obama prohibited his actions in libya? where SPECIFICALLY are recess appointments prohibited by the constitution? i didn't vote for the bastard either but if you want him out of office stike up a debate that's less obscure, arbitrary and overly broad. be SPECIFIC in other words.

Very incorrect statement dude. The constitution guarantgees individual rights including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It guarantees them as inalienable rights endowed by our Creator that no man or government may take away. The Bill of Rights merely expands explanations of rights critical to the first three. You are way out there your idea about that, guy. It's in the constituion in plain English. Perhaps you should Google "US Constitution" and read the first few few paragraphs again?

nowhere in the constitution will you find the words 'life, liberty and the persuit of happiness' as being guaranteed. you may see that your life, liberty and PROPERTY may not be denied without due process of law, fifth amendment, but happiness is not mentioned in the constitution. nor will you find the words 'inalienable rights endowed by the creator.' the preamble is the first paragraph. the second paragraph can be found in article one as are the next several paragraphs. i reference them often. i'll await your reference for the wording that you claim to be in the constitution but perhaps this'll save you some trouble. look instead in the declaration of independence which is not an instrument of law.

Where specifically does the consitution say the president can wage war without congressional approval? Where does it say we can bomb a country in the middle of a civil war in order to produce the victor we want?

And re-read the part on recess appointments... Its a matter if whether congress is in session.. The gavel in and out trick was created by democrats during bush and bush accepted it as legal and when republicans used it against obama he said screw that ur not in session im making a recess appointment.. The president has no authority to declare wether or not congresss is in session, its a direct violation of checks and balances.

so you can't show me where the constitution addresses recess appointments then?

REVOLUTION

Why did it not bother you how much time Bush spent on his farm?

I am very excited about this election. I support Ron Paul.

So your the "one". Thats funny wasa. Did not know you had humor in you.

The best thing about Dr Paul is that people pay attention to him. He speaks well. Has good things to say. [I don't necessarily agree with all of them.] And can get respect because of his unwavering stands/ideas, etc. And yes, he has influenced the Republican platform. And the one thing that makes him stand out is his honesty. Very rare for a politician. May he live long and prosper.
