    Default Eliot Spitzer has lost his mind

    How dare that rich motherfucker mock and ridicule the american people with a speech from one of the biggest tyrants ever to lead this country.

    http://www.slate.com/id/2256012/

    How quickly we forget. Just days ago, on Memorial Day—a day of gratitude, respect, and celebration—the words of President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address were read at ceremonies across the nation. The phrase from that speech that always sticks with me is the challenge President Lincoln set forth for us: "[R]esolve that these dead shall not have died in vain." He implored us not to shy away from the sacrifices we too have an obligation to shoulder in order to advance the "unfinished work" that remained—not merely winning the Civil War and ending slavery, but the continued creation of a nation with opportunity for all.

    The question confronting the United States today is whether the notion of sacrifice—-personal and collective—still has enough traction in our society to enable us to overcome the range of problems we face. For as much as we might honor the men and women in our armed forces for whom sacrifice is all too real, we know that in almost every matter of importance, Americans have become masters of "sacrifice avoidance." Every problem is turned into a positive-sum game—spending more, rather than making hard choices; shifting burdens to future generations whose voices can't be heard; pushing the obligations off to another day or on to another group.
    Hey Shitzer, start feeding your family from food stamps and foregoing necessary medication before you even think of lecturing us real americans.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    apparently they are the only ones impervious to the liberal brainwashing and revisionist history classes.

    i'm sure that you adamantly believe that the civil war was all about slavery though and that Lincoln acted with the most noblest of intentions and with complete honor.

    I don't get your point. At all. The speech is so generic it seems like he hired Obama's guys to do it.

    you're daft.

    the civil war was about secession, not slavery. If he was so 'honorable', why did he have reporters jailed without due process for writing negative press articles about him and the war?

    Its called 'sedition'....its what the Democrats are talking about now...
    Put blame where it belongs
    ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
    It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
    The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

    Apparently some people believe that your constitutional rights disappear if you disagree with them. Sedition isn't writing an op-ed piece contrary to your opinion, it takes evidence of direct action in aid of the enemy. Housing them secretly, for instance, or giving them weapons and helping them plan...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
