Here's another "professor" only concerned with growing the intellect of her students:

Why do these people even need heath care insurance?

Wouldn't his girlfriend's message be necessary proof that there was no collusion? He was going to be signed but then his girlfriend sent that message and the Ravens backed out, rightfully so.

I hate animal abusers, but to be "fair" to Michael Vick, he paid his debt to society, and seemed to live his life decently once out of jail.

Kaepernick was going to be given a shot by the Baltimore Ravens, but his activist, Muslim, radio host girlfriend ruined that.

I heard the QB for Packers went down. Kapernick might have been considered for the job a few weeks ago. Now, there is no way in hell that anyone is going to hire this ass-clown.

I’m a Chicago Blackhawks fan. Have you been to the United Center? Check out what happens during the National Anthem. It might make your conservative heads pop.

Seeing what gets the hard right all hot and bothered is quite telling. A bunch of athletes kneeling (another word for that could be genuflecting) doesn’t get me worked up or make me lose sleep. Let these guys have their quiet protest. It’s only gotten more media coverage because POTUS decided to make it an issue. Pure distraction. This story was on its way to the briar patch and would have fizzled on its own, kind of like it did last season. Only now, the VP kept it alive with his insertion into the fray.

Again, keeping the focus on distractions.

And, like good little minions, it has their loyal supporters all riled up in fake patriotism and mock rage. The opposition is sufficiently distracted from real problems because they can’t resist any attempt to make this administration look bad.

So...mission accomplished!

Disagree entirely. The first attempt at govt was the 'Articles of Confederation'. That was a watery, loose, group of rules that didn't bind the independent states to anything. It was a govt of convenience, and would be the model for the eventual Constitution of today. Never ratified completely, it wasn't strong enough to do anything for or with the independent states.

Further to this, the declaration of independence, the ninth and tenth amendments, and the specific powers granted to the legislature work to limit govt. It was designed and intended to limit govt. The central theme was always that the ultimate power was retained by the people. Hence, the 2nd amendment.

As for the 1st, it covers several rights lumped into one amendment. Speech, assembly, press, religion. he constitution was just barely powerful enough to get the job of running the states federal business and no more. They knew the Articles weren't enough to bridge the independence of the states. When the continental congress met, one of the biggest challenges was not stepping on the rights of Virginia, PA, MA, and the Carolinas. All of them had powerful, and well run central governors. None of them wanted to give up much power to the feds. The representatives had to make decisions on the fly, then take the construction back to their states for approval. There was no way that those states were going to give up authority to a central government. Which is why we didn't have a standing army, and we DID have a militia(citizen soldier) and a navy.

With the passage of time, and the expansion of the federal into every facet and minutia of our lives, it's very hard to think that the fed guv was intended to be limited. Just look at how small the duties of the exec are. Commander in chief, appointments to depts, clemency, foreign affairs/ambassadors, and judges(with advise and consent of course). The framers absolutely and positively did not want any form of imperialism. And yet - here we are, with an imperial president since 1936.
