I Think I Kinda Want It

OK, but just this once…

The Wisdom of ALL-MI-T

We The Corporation

Yes it is true; I am a Libertarian, a civil libertarian. But it is also true that I do feel as I do about the repealing of the Glass-Stegall Act. How can this be since I am against government intervention and protecting me from myself? It is simple. When I read the constitution of these United States of America, especially the Preamble, which learned as a child looking at Schoolhouse Rock on Saturdays in between cartoons, the first thing that I recall is the phrase WE THE PEOPLE.

This is very important to me for it “ordains and establishes” a foundation for my civil liberties as an individual as well as a self professed civil libertarian. Especially as implied via the 14^th amendment for I consider myself a sovereign citizen. I do not believe nor do I accept that institutions, groups and last but not least – corporations, are ordained as such under the constitution. Consequently I do not equate the rights of corporations as that of or equal to those of individual citizens, I just don’t and folk don’t get down like that with respect to dialectical ruminations of the constitutional sort. For again, in the preamble to the constitution, it reads WE THE PEOPLE and not WE THE CORPORATION. Curious, hope that answers your query. Great comment as usual.

Amen

How far we have fallen from the formation of a more perfect union, the establishment of justice or insuring domestic tranquility.

Our ‘common’ defense is now protecting the interests of Big Money by providing an overwhelmingly powerful Military that scares the fuck out of the rest of the world (much like Rome did 2,000 years ago).

Our general welfare has been demonized by Corporate interests… negating what The Christ taught about caring for one another… all the while stealing His persona and turning it into evil.

Secured blessings of liberty? Are you shitting me? They die daily with this complicit congress.

The preamble is basically meaningless to those in power.

This is what America has become.

Karl Rove Flees the USA to Avoid Congressional Testimony

But didn’t you know he had this trip scheduled for a long time?

Never told anyone here.

But didn’t you know…

Nope. He is a lying scumbag and so are you, you reTHUGlican suckoff.

There are plenty of illegal activities this asshole has been a part of. There are more than enough reasons to take this asshole down to Parchment and leave him for just a few days in general population. Just do it, you Congressional water-carriers for evil.

Columnist says manufacturing survey shows pessimism.

B’Man: No shit?

In an IndustryWeek (7/10) column, Tom Murphy, RSM McGladrey Executive Vice President, writes that “[e]conomic concerns driven by accelerating inflation in energy and commodity costs have drastically eroded confidence in most manufacturing and wholesale distribution segments in the U.S.” the RSM McGladrey 2008 Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution National Survey suggests. Of more than 960 executives surveyed, “[o]nly 38 percent…describe their business as ‘thriving and growing.‘” Additionally, roughly “80 percent of respondents were pessimistic about prospects for the U.S. economy,” with inflation representing one of the biggest concerns. Over “80 percent of companies in the survey expect cost increases exceeding 6 percent in energy, raw materials, operating labor, [and] freight.” Also, “[h]ealth care costs once again are projected to increase on an average exceeding 10 percent.” The study “also indicates emerging realities about global business conditions, challenges and opportunities that manufacturers and distributors should consider as they seek avenues to continued growth.”

What takes these people so long to recognize what is evident?
