First, most excellent post. But one I might change.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job, you have the
right and
obligation to look for a job. You do not have the right to be a
paracite.
We will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to
take
advantage of the opportunities of education and betterment of
yourself
while
not whining and making excuses for your deficiencies at every turn.


I'd guess that gives folks the right to take responsibility for
their
person.

Sometimes makes me wonder why people are so quick to let the
government
control their lives. Too bad we couldn't segregate the country into
too
parts and the pro-government statism types get to pay for government
managing their lives while leaving the other part to their liberty
and
fiscal freedoms.

But that repect for others rights doesn't exist in the hearts of
lib-dims.


Individual liberties are an impediment to good government.


True to some extent. There always has to be a balance, for example,
between
security and individuals' freedom or between exploitive capitalism and
social responsibility. There also needs to be a balance between a nanny
state and individual responsibility. But, truly good government is not
an
impediment to individual liberties.

That last sentence is true only if the 'truly good government' doesn't
tax. Once it takes your money, you've lost the freedom to spend it as
you wish.

So, no national defense is ok with you? We don't need anything gov't
provides? Why do we have it then?

National defense is good, but why not talk of banks and corporations like
GM that now cost taxpayers thousands in future debt! Why not talk about
the billions going to Afganistan, a war the politicians don't have the
balls to win.

Why not talk about the government waste. Pork spending? Corruption?
Massive government debt for stuff people will never see the benefit of?

Its an Lib-Dim Obamanation....

?? We've been doing little else. Have you been asleep for the last year?

I don't disagree with that. Ever since Sept 2008 the US fed has
printed/created the US government shortfall. You know this is inflationary.
When a recovery occurs, it will come with an inflation bite.

Meanwhile we will just have to laugh as the lib-dims learn you can't borrow
your way out of debt.
