        If that's true, then a lot of organizations deal with the devil.

         

         

        ... and even that one falls flat.

      Does Limbaugh even realize he's making a case for why President Obama should NOT listen to Republicans and conservatives at all?

      First, our Constitution and the Bill of Rights (along with subsequent amendments) more or less provide us with the framework for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness along with the framework of how our governing body is to be run."

      John Adams' quote of "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion" meant that with the framework of the Constitution et. al. the government cannot fix every single problem for every every single individual.

      The next line of the quote is "Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net."

      This sounds a lot like the corporate greed that got us to where we are today.



      People who are "unbridled by morality" are not, repeat NOT immoral. they (at least in todays society) do not follow a credence of religion. One doesn't need to be a believer in God to know that killing is wrong, stealing is bad..etc

      And why is he saying John Adams is the best interpreter of the Constitution?

      Don't he know that Adams signed into law 2 bills called the Alien and Sedition Acts that were deemed unconstitutional by just about all constitutional law scholars (plus Thomas Jefferson overturned the Acts as well citing them as unconstitutional)

      The fat GASBAG is at it again. He seems to have forgotten one basic thing about our GOVERNMENT,our FOUNDING FATHERS constructed it to function by COMPROMISE,by purposely making it extreemly difficult for one party to gain control of ALL branches of GOVERNMENT. He's showing what a dumb a-- he really is.
