But Cassy, why save your disdain for liberals only? So-called conservatives have also largely ignored the constitution in their efforts to expand the power of the central state.

The United States of America <em>is</em> the Constitution. It does not say the general welfare "of the people". That is up to ... the people. I bought a box of pocket Constitutions from the Heritage Foundation and I hand them out to family and friends. “General Welfare” … of the United States of America. The United States of America is the Constitution.

It does not say the general welfare “of the people”.

That is up to … the people.

Lately? Are you generally familiar with what it says? If not, why not? It’s easily available (at least for now) on the internet. You can probably get a copy that will display on your PDA or cellphone. It’s the RULE BOOK that we are supposedly living under. You need to know what the rules are, so that you can spot those times when the government is violating them. The fact that so few people actually know what that document contains is the reason that your government is finding it so easy to screw you. http://chl-tx.com/instructorsview/?s=constitution April 30th entry on my blog:

The penalty for not having health insurance is a tax. The power to provide subsidies for people to buy health insurance is not in the constitution.
