Correspondent of the Day: Congress Should Heed Designated Rulebook
Congress Should Heed Designated Rulebook
Editor, Times-Dispatch: The Founders designed the Constitution as a fair guide and set of rules for civil behavior and protection -- not as a moving target at the whim of those in power.
This rulebook authorizes Congress to do certain specific things. Nowhere on that list does it authorize big government to bail out banks or manage car companies. It is big government that the little guy needs protection from -- not big business. The only protections available are the Constitution and the ballot box. We can blame politicians for the trampling of our liberty, but the bulk of the blame lies with us voters. Principled politicians seldom depart or cave to pressure.
If America is to remain strong, it is the responsibility of each individual and each generation to remain vigilant and to protect and defend the Constitution that has served us well for the past 233 years.
We all have a vested right to fairness. Trust, respect, and fairness are the glues that bind a great nation.

Exactly.
until we get a chance to clean the Democrat side of the House in 2010 to save this Republic.
Right on! Once we vote for the lesser of two evils and our team gets back into power, the country will be on the right track again. Praise the GOP!
Delusion is bipartisan apparently. Answers are absent from both parties. Your memory is nonexistent if you believe otherwise.

Many of brave men took a different route in 1861. Let’s hope and pray that does not happen again until we get a chance to clean the Democrat side of the House in 2010 to save this Republic.

There is one more. Pray that we never have to resort to it.
