#9  Pete Snark, I mean Stark, also said it is un-constitutional to not hire illegals.

#8  An extraordinary piece of arrogance that slipped out.

#7  All it takes to put a stop to the corruption in Washington is to hang either a "Representative" or a "Senator" (NOT the baseball kind). Unfortunately, in today's society, there's absolutely no consequences for ignoring or trampling the Constitution into the pig swill running deep in Washington's streets. The current "ethics" investigations prove that beyond doubt. Hang a couple of them and see how fast the rest either retire or start "acting honest". Jefferson said it best: a little rebellion now and then is necessary to keep the politicians in this nation honest. We haven't had a really decent spot of rebellion since the early 1920's.

#6  The Federal Government Can Do Most Anything In This Country -

Except -
Balance its own budget
Stop printing money and bonds without backing
Control its own border
Say no to special interest groups
Stop selling the seat of representatives to the highest bidder
Reestablish integrity and trust in elected offices

(feel free to continue)

#3  The hubris of America's ruling class is sure to summon forth their Nemesis. Stark is merely an example of the type.

#2  The government can do almost anything.... except shrink.

#1  Well at least he's honest about what he (and, sadly too many others) believe...

They truly think they can do whatever they want under the insanely broad interpretation of the commerce clause. They really do think they are our lords.
