I Finally Get It

I think I may have finally discovered the reasoning behind the Left’s point of view and interestingly enough it may be education… From what I have been reading recently a lot of people from the Left seem to believe that George Bush is on a road to destroy their Constitutional rights. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it is not going to happen.

Making comments like “Say goodbye to your 4th Amendment rights” are ignorant and they prove that there is no understanding of the way the Supreme Court and our democratic system works. We have not had a Patriot Act case in the Supreme Court but I am going to predict that we will in the near future and I can guarantee that the 4th Amendment will be upheld, no matter who is on the Court at the time. How can I be so sure you ask? There is a concept called ‘precedence‘ that the Supreme Court follows because of its Constitutional obligation. Precedence basically means that previous rulings are used to make decisions in future rulings. Out of this we have seen Miranda Warning and Roe v. Wade.

The Supreme Court’s job is to interpret the law in relation to former cases and make their rulings based on that. They are not there to make moral decisions, they are there to be interpreters. For this reason they have turned to the 14th Amendment for the gay marriage issue. They feel that it is a moral issue and should be left up to the states to decide, which, is the way it should be. Bush will never be able to get a Gay Marriage Ban put in place because the Supreme Court would immediately strike it down as being unconstitutional based on their previous rulings on the subject.

Please, I beg of everyone, not just those on the left, to read and inform yourself. There are too many people getting information from one source and one source only and taking that as the final word. Do research on the things that you really feel affect you and come to your decision with your own cognitive power instead of listening to someone like Michael Moore fill your mind with partial truths mixed in with lies.

The Left Shot Itself in the Foot

Let’s face it, the left and more specifically the Democrats, shot themselves in the foot this election. They supported a candidate that could not give a straight answer or explain his policies. They supported a man who’s morals were waivering and most American’s want certainty. They also do not want to change presidents in the middle of a war.

But I think the real thing that hurt the Democrats were comments like this, this, or this.

I can understand being dissappointed in not having your candidate elected but to be so angry, hateful, and just plain rude is not anything to be so open about. To say that this country would have been better off with Kerry elected is not only ignorant, it is almost stupid. How do you know it would have been better? You don’t. He could have been the worst president in the world, but you would not complain, why? Because you voted for him. You thought that his stance on things would suit the needs of you. Maybe it is time to get off of the self-centered crap and focus on the big picture, the country. The goal of the government is to serve the people, notice it is not to serve “a person” but “the people”.

To be honest, I am tired of people being such babies when they do not get their way. It is almost as bad as listening to 2 yr. olds whine about not getting their toy in the store. Until someone can give me hard proof evidence that this country would have, without a doubt been better off with Kerry, then I am going to have to say that 51% of American voters wanted Bush back and that’s the way the world turns. And since there is no way to prove that Kerry could have done a better job, I am content to believe that this country is on its way to being stronger.

Do this country a favor, drop the partisan facade and back the country and don’t worry about your own self-interests.
