This is from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, not the U.S. Constitution.

I never cited a source.

Is there like a black DeNiro yet?

"My mama? MY mama????"

No shit, Sherlock, but the Gettysburg Address is a speech and does not carry the rule of law, whereas the U.S. Constitution does. If you were at least half as smart enough to come up with "promote the general Welfare", "insure domestic Tranquility" or even "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity", you might have a point. Once again, however, you are full of emotional response sans actual thought or knowledge.

So true.
Good thing it's a web board.

as your screed indicates, todd was stating a general principal that underlies our entire system of government--lincoln didn't pull it out of his ass. it also happens to be a much more succinct, eloquent, and infinitely less wonky statement of that principal than, say, "insure domestic Tranquility" and, considering his audience, he could probably safely assume we all took high school civics and understand that protecting us from disasters is one of the most basic, fundamental reasons we have governments in the first place (and thus it's unnecessary to follow up a statement of that principal with extensive citations of law) he wasn't making a legal argument. he didn't say the federal failures amount to high crimes and misdemeanors. he didn't say that bush's actions violate his mandate in the constitution. he just said the guy done fucked up, and agree or disagree, the debate works better without the condescending idea any of us are unfamiliar with the constitution (or the gettysburg address for that matter)

And if you were half as intelligent as you think you are, you wouldn't be doing graphics work in Annapolis, you'd be providing guidance from on-high.

And to think, you probably loath the "elitist, pretentious liberal wonks in their ivory towers" whose meme is all theory, not practice... And, when practiced, a horror.

Go shuck yourself, colonel.

Shouldn't you be masturbating in the bathroom of an Arby's, or is your break not until 2 pm?

My break was supposed to be 1245, but you made quite a mess in there, Capt. Splatter.

That was some nice shooting, though.

(But I wouldn't tell that to Crashawnda. She's the one who had to clean it up.)

(Sucks being a greenhorn.)

Stop talking to yourself, asshat.

go start another awful band so we can have a laugh.

ur fat!
