Checks And Balances For Freeps And Other Dummies

[DistressedAmerican]

I figured I would make this easy for the feeble minded who still do not understand the problem with domestic spying and circumventing traditional the checks and balances written into the Constitution.

Any chance they will understand the problem in this simple format or will they just continue to cheer the Chimp's unilateral power grab for the executive branch?

1. Brilliant! n/t

2. K&R. You are back in form. Good to see!

3. Love It! It's Going Up On My Wall O'Politics As Soon As I Get Back To

work on Tuesday!

4. I think you may have used too many words

Do you really think they'll understand multi-syllable words like imbalance and traditional?

[DistressedAmerican]

5. I Guess You Are Right There.

Maybe something like "clusterfuck" and "the way it has always worked".

[NMMNG]

14. Those whackjobs certainly understand the word 'traditional'

They sure tossed it around enough during the '04 election. "Traditional Moral Values" blah, blah, blah :eyes:. As to Imbalance though, there indeed may be a problem. :dunce:

8. Very nice!! Just like the little diagram that was in my history book

all those years ago--but now in living color, and with pictures!

Do they still have those little diagrams in the kids' history books, I wonder?

Probably they skip that part of the lesson these days. Subject too sensitive for class discussion!

[Craig3410]

12. I've been taught that diagram before...

but that was when I was in seventh grade around ~1998. :)

[DistressedAmerican]

13. It Was Still Valid THEN!

[No Exit]

19. Well, that's comforting.

Okay, so how come so many red-staters seem to have never heard of the little diagram that both you and I know so well???

No, I don't think it's home schooling, or public schooling. I think those red-staters were just dullards who didn't pay attention in class.

22. They Are Familiar. They Just Do Not Give A Shit.

Abuses of power are fine as long as they are coming from Pug administrations. Let a democrat pull the same shit and they would be demanding a return to constitutional norms. Mark my words. Their abuses are fine ours are not.

[No Exit]

25. LOL--great pic of Dick!! And I remember when he took it

It was at that state funeral in Europe. That was choice--everyone else in normal-looking winter funeral attire, and there's this fucking BILLIONAIRE (if not trillionaire) who apparently couldn't afford to send someone out to get him a proper coat.

[DistressedAmerican]

26. Worse. It Was A Memorial Service At Auschwitz.

[No Exit]

28. Oh, okay. Thanks for the reminder. You know, I'm trying to figure

out exactly why he DID wear that Eskimo (apologies for the insult to Eskimos) outfit... I'm wondering if maybe he has body armor sewn into certain coats. I wouldn't put it past him--this is one scared man, as shown by all the extreme security precautions he demands.

I sure hope his fear bothers him--hourly.

9. hey it's lsn's son and i'd like to complement you on you on your fine sign

[DistressedAmerican]

11. Why Thank You Ma'am!

Hope you are holding the Texas Front!

[lonestarnot]

20. AZ DA, we're in AZ! You shared in a memory he will never forget!

Very impressive!

[DistressedAmerican]

23. I Knew That! Sorry Brain Moment.

[lonestarnot]

29. Not to worry, they happen.

[lonestarnot]

21. looks like I need to teach him how to use the spell check feature. LOL

10. As usual,

you have done a superb job of illustrating the situation at hand.

16. What are the little arrows?

[DistressedAmerican]

18. Influence.

In the traditional system all branches had influence on all other branches. Now the executive has big influence over the Legislative and Judiciary where they have virtually no influence over the White House.

[BuyingThyme]

24. I was just kidding.

Making a point about how difficult it is for some people to understand the obvious.

I think it's a line from the original MASH movie. Henry authoritatively approved the football plays which had been drawn up by Spear-Chucker, then asked what the little arrows were for (or something like that).

[DistressedAmerican]

27. Again The Freeps Are Asserting That You Are All Sick Of Me.

Funny that they choose a thread with 9 nominations for greatest page that keeps popping up to assert that about.

They have no counter argument to support this clear violation of the Constitution. So, they have reverted to their usual personal attacks on me. Freeps are some lame ass mofo's. Funny that they did the same thing when I challenged them on torture. Hard to defend so they just go on the attack.

If this is their "A" game on this issue, we are sure to shove them back in their box soon.
