Most Americans are in both the top _and_ the bottom quintile of income over the course of their life.

There's tons of mobility between income ranges. Pretty much anyone who is willing to work hard and not at a disabling level of stupidity can become at least upper-middle-class over time. 73% of Americans spend time in the top 20% of income earners.

Judge Napolitano on the debacle:

===========
"Here is the back story.

The president can order the National Security Agency to spy on anyone at any time for any reason, without a warrant. This is profoundly unconstitutional but absolutely lawful because it is expressly authorized by the FISA statute.

All electronic surveillance today, whether ordered by the president or authorized by a court, is done remotely by accessing the computers of every telephone and computer service provider in the United States. The NSA has 24/7/365 access to all the mainframe computers of all the telephone and computer service providers in America.

The service providers are required by law to permit this access and are prohibited by law from complaining about it publicly, challenging it in court or revealing any of its details. In passing these prohibitions, Congress violated the First Amendment, which prohibits it from infringing upon the freedom of speech."

The most interesting bit, from Pruden:

The Park Service appears to be closing streets on mere whim and caprice. The rangers even closed the parking lot at Mount Vernon, where the plantation home of George Washington is a favorite tourist destination. That was after they barred the new World War II memorial on the Mall to veterans of World War II. But the government does not own Mount Vernon; it is privately owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association. The ladies bought it years ago to preserve it as a national memorial. The feds closed access to the parking lots this week, even though the lots are jointly owned with the Mount Vernon ladies. The rangers are from the government, and they're only here to help.

No, they aren't far right wing. And if you can't tell the difference between the neo-Nazi Stormfront and the Daily Beast, you need a depot level recalibration of your political sensibilities - something is fundamentally broken, malfunctioning, or miscalibrated. I understand from the far left the distance between them may seem to vanish, but it is a trick of perspective, they aren't even close... at all.

I'll get you started: In lieu of anything else, think of the difference between the Greens and Pol Pot's regime and apply. (And I think this is a generous narrowing of the difference.)

One other thing you might keep in mind: In American politics, the right did something the left has never been willing to do - drive out the dangerous fringe. Actual Nazis and neo-Nazis (including Stormfront), generally fringe nut cases in the United States in the last 75 years*, have not been, and are not part of the right in America. They are an offshoot of progressive & socialist politics. (Hence the Socialist in National Socialist.) Who Is 'Fascist'?

You might benefit from occasionally indulging in material from a viewpoint that challenges your views from a center-right perspective, and no, that doesn't include EDL or Stormfront. Since you comment regularly on American politics, some examples might include: National Review, The Weekly Standard, Commentary. You might try some reading on the first link in the previous post as well.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely agree that teachers are underpaid for their education level (which might also explain why the higher testing students tend to go into other majors, I might add.) My brother is an elementary special ed teacher, and you're right, he works insane hours, is paid today, with 6 years more experience in his field than I have now, and a masters degree, as much as I was paid while I was still working my way through the low end of the engineering pay scale, AND he has to pay for shit out of his pocket. And all that is wrong. (And, again, a reason why people who score higher often do not choose to go into teaching, thus reducing overall scores)

But it doesn't change the fact that that's the demographic we have teaching. There are exceptions, but on average, teachers are not our best and brightest by any means.

(Caveat here: The statistics I've looked at don't necessarily separate elementary from secondary education. And honestly, I'm not convinced that there's any reason you NEED to have an equivalent education and intelligence to an engineer to teach first grade. Another site from a specific university suggests that secondary education majors are, in fact, in the upper half of GRE scores, but primary are near the bottom, which may be how it should be)

Why are so many people so keen on a revolution?

Only a very small minority is. The trick is figuring out how to undo Marbury vs. Madison, Santa Clara, and the Seventeenth Amendment to get back to a semblance of a Republic when those constructs have created a nasty positive-feedback loop that's disassembling what's left of the Republic. Many people give up and turn to violence. That should be the last resort, and the others aren't nearly exhausted, but for some it's 'easy' to go there.

If you're in Oklahoma get on the horn to your State Senator so that state can put its foot down. Other states like New Hampshire have its foot down Constitutionally, but lack political will to stand on that foot. But if people who care about such things don't do anything, then nothing will happen. GOTO 1.

If that were true, then the city wouldn't have needed to pass laws to make it impossible for WM to open up.

Chicago is surrounded by 42 Wall-Marts and the city-dwellers are exceptionally eager for WM jobs and services. Witness this from George Will's column on the issue:

This suburb, contiguous with Chicago's western edge, is 88 percent white. A large majority of the customers of the Wal-Mart that sits here, less than a block outside Chicago, are from the city, and more than 90 percent of the store's customers are African American.

You can read the full column here.

Every political criticism of WM - everyone of them that I have ever heard - is a lie.

An explanation of our search results.

If you recently used Google to search for the word "Jew," you may have seen results that were very disturbing. We assure you that the views expressed by the sites in your results are not in any way endorsed by Google. We'd like to explain why you're seeing these results when you conduct this search.

A site's ranking in Google's search results relies heavily on computer algorithms using thousands of factors to calculate a page's relevance to a given query. Sometimes subtleties of language cause anomalies to appear that cannot be predicted. A search for "Jew" brings up one such unexpected result.

If you use Google to search for "Judaism," "Jewish" or "Jewish people," the results are informative and relevant. So why is a search for "Jew" different? One reason is that the word "Jew" is often used in an anti-Semitic context. Jewish organizations are more likely to use the word "Jewish" when talking about members of their faith. The word has become somewhat charged linguistically, as noted on websites devoted to Jewish topics such as these:

http://shakti.trincoll.edu/~mendele/vol01/vol01.17 4
http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/jonah081500. asp
Someone searching for information on Jewish people would be more likely to enter terms like "Judaism," "Jewish people," or "Jews" than the single word "Jew." In fact, prior to this incident, the word "Jew" only appeared about once in every 10 million search queries. Now it's likely that the great majority of searches on Google for "Jew" are by people who have heard about this issue and want to see the results for themselves.

The beliefs and preferences of those who work at Google, as well as the opinions of the general public, do not determine or impact our search results. Individual citizens and public interest groups do periodically urge us to remove particular links or otherwise adjust search results. Although Google reserves the right to address such requests individually, Google views the comprehensiveness of our search results as an extremely important priority. Accordingly, we do not remove a page from our search results simply because its content is unpopular or because we receive complaints concerning it. We will, however, remove pages from our results if we believe the page (or its site) violates our Webmaster Guidelines, if we believe we are required to do so by law, or at the request of the webmaster who is responsible for the page.

We apologize for the upsetting nature of the experience you had using Google and appreciate your taking the time to inform us about it.

Sincerely,
The Google Team

p.s. You may be interested in some additional information the Anti-Defamation League has posted about this issue at http://www.adl.org/rumors/google_search_rumors.asp . In addition, we call your attention to Google's search results on this topic.

One could also put it in a slightly different way: Europe lacks what America still has, namely the so-called "conservative reserves," or as the German sociologist Arnold Gehlen explained over 30 years ago, "the reserves in national energy and self-confidence, primitiveness and generosity, wealth and potential of every kind." Every so often I travel to the U.S. to recharge my batteries, and I am not the only European Conservative to do so. From time to time one needs to breathe the air of freedom before submerging again in the stifling atmosphere of Europe.

It is interesting to contrast this....

Facing down a culture where they talk like crazies

In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of "suttee" -- the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural:

''You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows.You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

India today is better off without suttee. If we shrink from the logic of that, then in Afghanistan and many places far closer to home the implications are, as the Prince of Wales would say, "ghastly."

Beheading Nations - The Islamization of Europe's Cities

In an online story in newspaper The Daily Telegraph that was removed "for legal reasons," former Muslim Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo warned that British Muslims could soon form a state within the state. Dr Sookhdeo believed that "in a decade, you will see parts of English cities which are controlled by Muslim clerics and which follow, not the common law, but aspects of Muslim sharia law." "In 1980, the Islamic Council of Europe laid out their strategy for the future - and the fundamental rule was never dilute your presence. That is to say, do not integrate." "Rather, concentrate Muslim presence in a particular area until you are a majority in that area, so that the institutions of the local community come to reflect Islamic structures. The education system will be Islamic, the shops will serve only halal food, there will be no advertisements showing naked or semi-naked women, and so on."

The next step will be pushing the Government to recognize sharia law for Muslim communities - which will be backed up by the claim that it is "racist" or "Islamophobic" to deny them this. Sookhdeo noted that there is already a Sharia Law Council for the UK. "There are Muslim men in Britain who marry and divorce three women, then marry a fourth time - and stay married, in sharia law, to all four." "The more fundamentalist clerics think that it is only a matter of time before they will persuade the Government to concede on the issue of sharia law. Given the Government's record of capitulating, you can see why they believe that."

Europe is in trouble....

Your formulaic repetition of the phrase "Clinton, advised by Dick Clarke, did nothing." Is a common and cheap tactic used by propagandists to try and drill that phrase into a persons head, and is not a proper logical argument.

This led me to believe that you just pasted it straight out of an email from your grandma. The real truth as it turns out, is not very far from the truth. Comes directly from here:

FACT: plagiarizing others in your Slashdot comments makes you LAME.

Thanks for creating that last. I suppose those all seem like minor things on the fringe, even in a not-too-broad historical context. Even proving that those things are constitutional violations takes a pretty big stretch. Few of them could realistically be seen as to-the-letter violations by a judge, leaving an uphill battle with a "spirit of the law" argument.

My sig was a little stab at everyone, left and right. If it bothers you, you are a conservative. If it doesn't bother you, you are in support of flag-burning. Both of those can be seen as insulting depending on one's political views.

I freely admit that I see the ACLU as a grotesque abomination that mutated from something that was originally quite patriotic. At best, they are an irritation. At worst, they are the fifth column. I've never been religious in my life, but this country was founded under Christian values. For the ACLU to concern itself with advocating the removal of every religious symbol possible is just a form of revisionist history. This article is somewhat demonstrable of the type of nonsense they worry about. I remember a woman on NPR one day talking about the US's secular beginnings and laughed my ass off.

The ACLU also takes the position that we should never racially profile, even if it is a more effective way of investigation. This is nonsense and best summed up by the phrase, "The Constitution is not a suicide pact." I've even heard liberals getting more and more irritated with airport security by seeing little old women having their yarn bags torn through while Muslims in their 20s and 30s wearing backpacks walk by without so much as a second glance.

Additionally, with respect to torture, imagine Mohamed Atta were captured on 9/10/01 as a suspected terrorist. Do you really think we should stand their saying "pretty please" hoping he will talk? Not only would I be content with him suffering being photographed naked, put into a jail cell without A/C, or watching the Kuran be flushed down a toilet, but I would hope that five times a day when it was time for him to pray to Mecca, he was beaten to within an inch of his life.

For groups like the ACLU to claim that under those circumstances we should not torture is why they appear to me as the fifth column. Sadly, what is currently called torture by the left is pretty damn weak. I'm pretty sure a small child with a little self-discipline could hold out indefinitely.

But profits can't be judged by dollar amounts alone. What counts is the percentage of revenues those profits represent. "Our numbers are huge because the scale of our industry is huge," Exxon CEO Lee Raymond tried, probably in vain, to explain during last week's big Senate hearing on oil company profits. Exxon's profits last quarter amounted to 9.8 cents for every dollar of sales. Is that obscene? Well, it was more profitable than Shell (which netted 7.8 cents of each dollar of revenue) or Chevron (6.6 cents) or BP (4.6 cents). But compared to Coca-Cola (21.2 cents), Bank of America (28.3 cents), or Microsoft (33.2 cents), it was nothing to write home about.

Oil companies invest billions. getting a billion (or even 100 billion) isn't that much. The government, on the other hand has "made" $2.2 trillion on gas taxes. Thats money you and I could have spent elsewhere.

The government doesn't have enough to maintain roads? That's because the so called transportation money goes elsewhere - even money spent on transportation is more likely to go to new projects as that gets better visibility. Repairing roads isn't sexy and it doesn't get you votes.

In a nation that insists immigrants accept the monolithic secular French culture, a great divide has grown. Part of it is the insular nature of Islamic North African culture. But much of it is that "French" France still rejects its North African countrymen.

They don't get good jobs or decent financial opportunities. Their unemployment rate is often as high as 50%. There isn't a single Frenchman or Frenchwoman of North African origin (or black, for that matter) in the cabinet, and only a handful hold any position of rank in the civil and commercial bureaucracy. There are virtually no black or Arab anchors on French TV, or North African cultural presence in the theater or cinema.

This has further angered the Muslim population, driving it deeper into its own ghetto mentality and to communal violence. When I first came to France 50 years ago, North African immigrants spoke Maghreb Arabic, but their French-born children proudly spoke French. Today, the beurs, the young French-born generation of North Africans, talk to each other in Arabic.

Clothes and electronics come from overseas sweatshops. Yachts are built right here by high-paid workmen, in places like Rhode Island and Florida and North Carolina.

We have already seen what happens when the noisy leftist levellers punish the rich for their yacht-buying habits. In 1990, a stiff luxury tax on yachts costing more than $100,000 was instituted at the urging of pinko poltroons like Ted Kennedy. It not only did not raise the projected revenue, but caused thousands of boat builders to lose their jobs and go on unemployment, making the tax a net loss to the government.

The tax was ignominiously repealed in 1993, and recently Ted Kennedy's idiot nephew Patrick, a Rhode Island congressman, promoted a new subsidy for yacht buyers. Democrats are such economic retards....

The economic paths of the United States and Europe began to diverge in the 1990s. Right now, the Eurozone economies have growth rates that are a third to a half that of the U.S.

In the 1990s, the U.S. economy experienced a quantum increase in productivity. European investment in information technology as a percentage of gross domestic product is considerably less than in the United States and is declining. The European Commission estimates that, as of this year, labor productivity per hour in the European Union will have declined from 97 percent of the U.S. level in the mid-1990s to only about 88 percent.

The E.U. produces only about 70 percent of the U.S. GDP per capita. It has a smaller portion of its population in the workforce and much higher unemployment among those wanting to work.

Europeans work fewer hours per year and retire earlier. Over the course of a lifetime, American workers put in 40 percent more hours than their European counterparts.

The EU and the US are each reaping what they're sowing. IBM's layoffs are merely a symptom.

-- Mike Perry, Seattle

Gates is wrong in thinking that "high schools must be redesigned to prepare every student for college". Many if not most people do not have the intelligence to do real college level work. You can manufacture as many "college graduates" as you want by lowering standards enough. U.S. high school students trail their peers in most other countries on standardized tests, but they go to college at higher rates. That does not make sense.

Teens who are not academically inclined should be encouraged to go to work, as explained by Thomas Sowell at http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/sowell052201 .asp/ . The current system is designed more to benefit teachers than students, because the teachers are much more organized through teachers' unions than parents are. Peter Brimelow discusses this in his recent book "The Worm in the Apple".

To my English Ears 'burglarize' sounds like an abomination. However, I found an interesting article that suggest that both 'burgle' and 'burglarizer' both appeared in the language at roughly the same time, and that different sides of the Atlantic simply chose differently.

Edwards' loathsome display of demagoguery: I never expected a candidate for vice president to give paralysis sufferers false hope

By Charles Krauthammer

Editor's note: The author is confined to a wheel chair

http://www.jewishworldreview.com | After the second presidential debate, in which John Kerry used the word "plan" 24 times, I said on television that Kerry has a plan for everything except curing psoriasis. I should have known there is no parodying Kerry's pandering. It turned out days later that the Kerry campaign has a plan nay, a promise to cure paralysis. What is the plan? Vote for Kerry.

This is John Edwards on Monday at a rally in Newton, Iowa: "If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."

In my 25 years in Washington, I have never seen a more loathsome display of demagoguery. Hope is good. False hope is bad. Deliberately, for personal gain, raising false hope in the catastrophically afflicted is despicable.

Where does one begin to deconstruct this outrage?

First, the inability of the human spinal cord to regenerate is one of the great mysteries of biology. The answer is not remotely around the corner. It could take a generation to unravel. To imply, as Edwards did, that it is imminent if only you elect the right politicians is scandalous.

Second, if the cure for spinal cord injury comes, we have no idea where it will come from. There are many lines of inquiry. Stem cell research is just one of many possibilities, and a very speculative one at that. For 30 years I have heard promises of miracle cures for paralysis (including my own, suffered as a medical student). The last fad, fetal tissue transplants, was thought to be a sure thing. Nothing came of it.

As a doctor by training, I've known better than to believe the hype and have tried in my own counseling of people with new spinal cord injuries to place the possibility of cure in abeyance. I advise instead to concentrate on making a life (and a very good life it can be) with the hand one is dealt. The greatest enemies of this advice have been the snake-oil salesmen promising a miracle around the corner. I never expected a candidate for vice president to be one of them.

Third, the implication that Christopher Reeve was prevented from getting out of his wheelchair by the Bush stem cell policies is a travesty.

George Bush is the first president to approve federal funding for stem cell research. There are 22 lines of stem cells now available, up from one just two years ago. As Leon Kass, head of the President's Council on Bioethics, has written, there are 3,500 shipments of stem cells waiting for anybody who wants them.

Edwards and Kerry constantly talk of a Bush "ban" on stem cell research. This is false. There is no ban. You want to study stem cells? You get them from the companies that have the cells and apply to the National Institutes of Health for the federal funding.

In his Aug. 7 radio address to the nation, Kerry referred not once but four times to the "ban" on stem cell research instituted by Bush. At the time, Reeve was alive, so not available for posthumous exploitation. But Ronald Reagan was available, having recently died of Alzheimer's.

So what does Kerry do? He begins his radio address with the disgraceful claim that the stem cell "ban" is standing in the way of an Alzheimer's cure.

This is an outright lie. The President's Council on Bioethics, on which I sit, had one of the world's foremost experts on Alzheimer's, Dennis Selkoe from Harvard, give us a lecture on the newest and most promising approaches to solving the Alzheimer's mystery. Selkoe reported remarkable progress in using biochemicals

Just like the pious liberal hypocrites of Nantucket Sound, where wind energy could supply immense amounts of clean energy-- but ohhh, NOoo, the windmills get in the way of the view from the deck of my yacht, put them where some poor white trash live, thank you; serves them right for voting for Bush.

Fucking hypocritical limousine-liberal scum like Teddy Kennedy make me sick. I hope the bloated swine croaks soon.

Given that the purpose of the exercise is to undermine China and Iran, two countries whose policies on homosexuality make Ashcroft look like J. Edgar Hoover in comparison, it's still an accident.

We're presently engaged in a global war against a culture that prohibits the viewing of women's faces... a culture that - when when its adherents come to Australia, they see our women as whores fit only to be "fucked Leb style", and when they come to France and Norway, they "take turns" on 14-year-olds, then I say desensitizing these animals to sexual stimuli through regular exposure to pr0n is a feature, not a bug.

If we're serious about winning the war on terror, we shouldn't just be letting this stuff through the filter, we should be phoning up Larry Flynt, Bob Guccione, and Hugh Hefner and placing enough orders to load up a fleet of C-130s with copies of every wankmag that gets remaindered and bomb the fuckers into the sexual revolution. Fuck Islam. Bring on the w33ners and b00bies.

I wonder if in 50 years when China is the dominant superpower you will take the view that it is alright for them to bitchslap the US because "they have the power and the might, they don't need to play well with us".

You have enough interest to understand the justification for antitrust law, but boredom must have set in before you learned about its practical consequences. You've accepted the theoretical justification for something that has proven itself a failure time and time again.

The post you linked to presents a naive position: that antitrust law is a second rate solution to problems price controls could better solve. In theory, antitrust is a shield for consumers. In practice, it's always been a sword for class action law firms and uncompetitive rivals.

Read about antitrust's "biggest hits": Great Northern, Standard Oil, IBM. The actual result of antitrust is always antithetical to its purpose.

You know, actually being full of hate isn't very constructive either. I'm gonna pull another one of those horrible Western values you seem to... well, actively dislike (since you're somehow above "hate") and ask you this:

What's not to hate about rape?

Yes, instead of asking why do they hate us, why not ask why they rape us? Oh, right, it's her fault if an "Australian pig" (or Norwegian whore, or French harlot, or your wife, or your sister, or your daughter) doesn't want to get "fucked Leb style", she should just put on a fuckin' burkha with the rest of the cattle, shouldn't she?

To which I say - fuck that.

Israeli or Palestinian.

Your grain of salt for the article:
Fox is one of the four motion picture studios in the MPAA that do not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Also beware of the New York Daily News which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Beware of NY Newsday which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Beware the New York Post which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Beware of USA Today which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Beware of WNBC TV News 4 which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Beware the Jewish World Review which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

Beware of the California Sacramento Bee which does not share revenue with a major U.S. record label.

According to Gogle News this story is only 12 hours old, expect the list to expand. It is absolutely SHOCKING how many news sorces do not share revenue with a major U.S. record label. SHOCKING I say! This media bias cannot be permitted to continue!

I wasn't changing the subject - warpup wrote a reply to you that comes from a different angle.

I'll take what you say at face value. In some ways the world you describe would be attractive. I suppose that it would be nice to be able to honestly express myself on any topic with no fear of altering my relationship with others, whether profesional or personal. But that is simply not a realistic possibility where human beings are involved. If a co-worker of mine like to talk about about the intrinisic inferiority of blacks, or about how whites were all racists, I would have a different opinion of them that would change my relationship to them. It would be less likely that I would mention them for promotion, etc. If they concealed their views it would be to their advantage, and largely people like that are aware of this. I think you are asking for Solomonic wisdom from average people.

Much of what the government funds is funded in a non-partisan way. And your point that Theo isn't being funded for a political end is well taken. But he's being funded by the department of defense, and he's openly and roundly criticizing them. From what I've heard from some friends who interacted with the National Endowment for the Arts, it's the same way there but far worse - toe the line or forget about funding. Any one of them would laugh at the notion of the NEA continuing to fund people who criticize it, if they had a choice not to continue.

I want to avoid the tangential topic of white supremicists in Congress largely because I don't think it's directly relevant. But I'm pretty sure that David Duke never served in the U.S. congress. He was in the state legislature of Louisiana for one term. Here's the Anti-Defamation League page on him. And I'm pretty sure too that it was a democrat, Robert Byrd, who chose to use the term "white nigger" twice in a television interview in 2001, saying "I'm going to use that word." Criticism from civil-rights groups was essentially non-existant, as discussed here. So maybe there's the same double-standard you dislike, but in reverse: because he's a democrat, his speech is unpunished, even though his job is a political one, and even though his opinions do not seem consistent with the America we want to live in.

Anyway, you close by saying that the DARPA action was legal, but it wasn't right. If the contract was terminated due to Theo's comments, which I think is still undemonstrated, then we agree to the first part. I think reasonable people can differ as to the rightness of an action like this, because it depends very much on what priorities we assign to different government functions. I appreciate that you've thought a lot about your views, and also your willingness to discuss them reasonably rather than in the over-inflamed manner too common on net boards.

Must vote for this, though I'm a bit prejudiced. I played Tully Bascomb (the "main" Sellers part) back in high school.
Queen Gloriana was played by a now renowned journalist (thanks Google): Catherine Seipp
Me? Now, I look more like Bluto. Or Tevya.

The original film was directed by Jack Arnold, who was also responsible for "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" and "It Came From Outer Space".

The latter film was "The Mouse On The Moon". Sellers wasn't in it. It was directed by Richard Lester. His follow up was "Hard Days Night".

That is exactly how I feel. This is why.

What "you ladies"? I'm a guy, dude...
Anyways, I agree that it's mostly other women bitching about other women's bodies. No normal straight adult male human is really turned on by walking anatomy classes.

The American generation who suffered through the Great Depression and defeated the tyrannical designs that Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo Hideki had for the world has often been called "the great generation." Will history see it that way? Let's look at it, but first start with a couple of statements from two truly great Americans.

In 1794, Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees. James Madison stood on the floor of the House to object, saying, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." James Madison, you'll recall, is the acknowledged father of the Constitution, and he couldn't find constitutional authority for spending "on the objects of benevolence."

Your congressman might say, "Madison was all wrong; after all, there's the 'general welfare' clause." Here's what Madison had to say about that: "With respect to the two words "general welfare," I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." Thomas Jefferson echoed similar sentiments saying, "Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated."

When the great generation was born, Congress spent only three percent of the GDP. Today, as the great generation dies off, Congress spends over a quarter of the GDP. There is no constitutional authority for at least three-quarters of that spending.

Let's look at the recent election campaign. Whether it was a Democratic or Republican candidate, for the most part, they won votes by promising to spend the money of their constituents "on the objects of benevolence." They promised to violate the rights of some Americans for the benefit of other Americans. They promised to take money from younger Americans to buy prescription drugs for elderly Americans, take money from non-farmers to give to farmers and take money from wealthier people to give to poorer people. In a word or two, politicians campaigned on an unstated promise to ignore any oath of office to protect and defend the United States Constitution and instead go to work on undermining it.

Don't get me wrong. I don't blame only politicians. For the most part, they're only the instruments of a people who have growing contempt for our Constitution. You say, "Hold it, Williams. Now you've gone too far!" Check it out. How many votes do you think a James Madison-type senatorial candidate would get if his campaign theme was something like this: "Elect me to office. I will protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. Because there's no constitutional authority for Congress spending on the objects of benevolence, don't expect for me to vote for prescription drugs for the elderly, handouts to farmers and food stamps for the poor. Instead, I'll fight these and other unconstitutional congressional expenditures"? I'll tell you how many votes he'll get: It will be Williams' vote, and that's it.

The "great" generation has transformed the electoral process from voting for those most likely to protect our Divine-given rights to liberty and property, to voting for those most likely to violate those rights for the benefit of others. There's no question that the "great" generation spared the world from external tyranny, but it has outdone any other generation in destroying both the letter and the spirit of our Constitution, and as such produced a form of tyranny for which there's little defense.

What is more interesting is that Washington Democrat Senator Maria Cantwell was elected -- "winning" by a red cunt hair against Slade Gordon -- after spending all the fake only-exists-on-paper money she "earned" from being CEO of Real Media.

She had to be bailed out after her company and their lousy spyware bloatware crashed and burned, and is now ironically bringing in lots of money from the infamous creators of Windows Media: Microsoft.
