I'd love to see the 40 billion that republicans saved tax payers; like what was cut specifically that caused the failure of the stimulus imposed on us.

most likely, congressional salaries.....

 

[DamnYankee]

we're gonna have to start using some different term.....like "ethnicist" or something......I'm pretty sure 'italian' is not a race.....

Sure it is:

race

2 a: a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b: a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics
3 a: an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species ; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group b: breed c: a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits

Sure it is:

/boggle...by which definition.....do you really think you can distinguish between an Italian and a Greek or a Frenchman if you see them walking down the street?.....

 

[Sammy Jankis]

Not at all. My position is that the feds have an obligation to protect the States from terrorists, and if that requires listening in on international calls then so be it. *shrug*

by any means necessary, constitution be damned? yes. apparently.

race

2 a: a family, tribe, people, or nation belonging to the same stock b: a class or kind of people unified by shared interests, habits, or characteristics

Using that definition a group of stamp collectors, people who bite their nails and lasses with massive plastic norks are all separate races.

I'm not sure why that would be important. Also, the French have been raided so many times over the centuries they are unpure ethnically. (*Braces for unfounded claims of racism by endearing liberal fans*)

Again, the Constitution does not portend to define the rights of foreigners. *shrug*

Damn nork-faced stampists!

 

[TuTu Monroe]

Damn nork-faced stampists!

Shaking my head. SIGH!!

 

[charver]

Shaking my head. SIGH!!

That's a bit harsh on old SM isn't it?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

The Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. It was written because the Articles weren't adequate. *shrug*

you're sidestepping the question. why did the 13 states ratify a constitution?

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Again, the Constitution does not portend to define the rights of foreigners. *shrug*

the constitution defines no rights. none whatsoever. the constitution grants no rights. none whatsoever.

 

[DamnYankee]

You're asking a different question then before. They ratified it mainly so the Federal government could build an army and navy to fend off an attack from the Brits.

I never said it did. *shrug*

you have now failed your American history class. unless you wish to try again.

 

[DamnYankee]

Actually, your opinion is different than mine. *shrug*

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Again, the Constitution does not portend to define the rights of foreigners. *shrug*

you said this, meaning that the constitution obviously defines the rights of someone.

 

[SmarterthanYou]

Actually, your opinion is different than mine. *shrug*

no, your opinion is based in insubstantial theories whereas mine is based on facts and history. therefore, my 'opinion' is right and yours would be wrong.

 

[DamnYankee]

you said this, meaning that the constitution obviously defines the rights of someone.

And you know this how? *shrug*

 

[SmarterthanYou]

And you know this how? *shrug*

by reading your posted words, obviously.
