They gave Medals Of Honor to the perpetrators of Wounded Knee? That compounds the stain on us.
So the Academy is apologizing for the behavior of the attendees?

Low interest rates promotes speculation on futures, is that the deal? All there is to it?
Yes, there is also the question of how the revenue produced is distributed. If no revenue is produced, as with roads, are the roads socialist, only because they are publicly owned? They are built...
Yes, neither he nor the ratifiers would have called socialist, so how is that we can? Meanwhile there are private enterprises, such as ship building, that are founded on private capital. How is it...
Yes. Benjamin Franklin didn't call the Post Office socialism. Was he wrong?
Depends on what type. So let each socialist set forth his self-definition . . . honestly. The responsible thing....
Twit liberals seem determined to provide a steady supply.
It would have been 24 jars -- 12 to a case -- but a long time ago I gave away a jar of marinara each to two different people, who didn't return the jars. So I only have 22, which haven't left the...
Sweet or hot?
Those sci fi tomato worms ate my bell pepper plants overnight. I'd been growing them since March.
Yep.
There is no dispute that the words in quotes are the words of the Trump faction. That is a fact.
That the words actually describe the facts is highly disputable. So if the quote marks...
Don't see much of what I would call practice, which could be for the best. When they spout it makes you mad, but when you see them pray, it makes you want to barf.
Canned 22 quarts of tomatoes over 3 days, and 3 pints of salsa.
Now starting cream of tomato soup.
Tomorrow, chicken with tomatoes.
Been picking tomatoes every day for three weeks, and that...
The British were glad of Burr's treason, but it didn't make them pals. How can you trust a traitor?
No they didn't. Amendment means amending the text.
As you say.
Yeah.
So any amount of non-private ownership makes anything socialism? Roads? Parks? Airports? Utilities? The space shuttle? The military? The strategic oil reserve? What is the utility...
Also, when an initiative passes, and someone files suit, the state government can refuse, on grounds of its unconstitutionality, to defend the suit and the appeal, which then dies; which is what...
There is of course no "direct democracy" in the national government. If the states have it, they could end it tomorrow, without violating anyone's rights, because there is no right to "direct...
A vote on something found to be beyond the limited powers of the limited government is no vote at all. Even if it takes a while to formally overturn it, it is void ab initio, as if it never...
So what does the "Republic" part mean? Just the removable dampers? The obstacles to removing the obstacles?
Is AI not liberal?
What, they were infiltrated by the khakis-tiki-torch guys? Or Russian plants? Maybe Antifa. Anti-fascist! Possible. But I'm sticking with AI being liberal, twit liberal...
Yeah, more or less. Is it really not clear?
BTW, the head of the Ukraine division of Amnesty International resigned over this.
Today, as opposed to when?
You mean Russian Russian apologists, or non-Russian Russian apologists?
Many Russian apologists are American-right-wing-type-apologists e.g. Tucker Carlson. But then...
WTF are you talking about? It has been claimed by Russia to be a casus belli, going back to the invasion of Crimea. Putin himself.
Everything but the oink is the phrase I recall.
What kind of cause is it, then, and who supports it? Only the ding dong wing? The twit liberals? I can go with that. Wait, I said that already.
Yes. Twit liberalism marches on.
Just checking: is Russia still liberating Ukraine from the fascist yoke, thus justifying their invasion? I wish Howard Zinn were here.
1. Everything is to be judged according to how it serves the oppressor or the oppressed.
2. The west is always the oppressor.
3. Russia is fighting the west.
4. Therefore Russia is the...
Not everything. That wouldn't be much of a standard tactic. But mainly stupid liberal things. They keep me plenty busy.
Likewise, Ivan. See you in Moscow. Probly can't let you through the checkpoint, but I'll tell you when the curfew begins and ends.
True. The US is the citadel of the bull S liberal. Protected by oceans, etc.
But is there any question that the people who support AI even in this condemnation of Ukraine, from anywhere in the...
What crimes, Ivan?
Anyone who uses the word now. They did not then, because they weren't socialists.
It was a practical, not an ideological question. Socialism is an ideology, not the mere fact that the government...
My wife and I were having our coffee at a camp site in Wyoming one morning when what I assume was a cow and her two calves came up slowly, grazing. Little by little they made their way past us about...
The "international law" which Ukraine is supposedly violating, as the organization asserts, is not cited in the organization's article. I suppose we're just supposed to take this twit's word for it....
You could say it was democratic, though great big dampers have been installed. In any case what matters is not whether it's democratic, but whether it's legal. Amendment is the only legal way to do...
Ordinary meaning is not law. "Homestead" is ordinarily understood as land, whereas in law, it can be cash, a Bible, or false teeth. A "homestead exemption" is a list of property exempt from...
Yes, but that's interpreting, not amending.
Including socialism.
Yes, they're FOS. Ideological.
The word 'socialist' as we use it now was not coined until 1830. That doesn't mean there were no public goods or enterprises before...
OK, two if you count the Convention (called for by the legislatures of the states). As you said (#178):
My point is that the amendment processes are the only way the Constitution can be...
Neither did the Athenians. Did they have a democracy?
Then so can the US democratic republic, without any degree of socialism. Which means democracy or republic, no socialism was employed.
How Caesar loved the people.

Here's how a bad precedent might be set.
Remember when Trump attempted to extort Zelensky (by withholding anti-tank weapons Ukraine needed to fight the Russian invasion) to merely announce that...
Hilarious!
Mazeltov!
What do you make of this:
According to this, two very important purposes of the doctrine of limited government in the USA go back to Aristotle.
You misunderstand my argument. Some people find that distinction conclusive as to the US being a democracy. My argument is that it isn't, because there's much more to the question than that, and...
Your article is complete horse S.
There is one way to change the Constitution. "The Consitution allows Congress to establish inferior courts; therefore, when it does, it changes the...
'
Yep. Also by referring to it as a matter of "mishandling documents". Like robbing the 7-11 and putting the money in your pockets was a matter of "mishandling documents".
The documents are...
Not under the Constitution.
It's not my definition, and not idiosyncratic. It's rooted in history and law, where yours isn't.
Only by law, not by direct action. What if it were the...
Whatever. They were the references chosen.
Not in law. This is where "Rule of law, not men" really bites the ass of the populi. They fancy themselves rulers by right, superior to the law.
