Upholding the Constitution as it was written would restrict voting to free white landowners.
I forgot to leave out the women as well.
Terry, in your LAME attempt to either be ironic or funny you have shown a complete, and I mean a complete, lack of knowledge of American Civics and Government.
Our Founding Fathers in their infinite wisdom,wrote Article 5 of the original document. it Says the following:
You need to read the Constitution, instead of trying to pontificate out your ass. The Constitution never had a land ownership provision. the 13, 14, and 15th Amendments corrected the sin of slavery and the 19th Amendment gave women the vote.
So what you have, is a tired and tattered argument that the founding fathers were “Bad Guys.” Well they were not, Terry. They were Good Men put in to an untenable position that required compromise. And Compromise they did, to save a Nation from dissolution and return to the British Crown.
Your comment wasn’t funny, it was at the very least uninformed.
Which of those amendments were part of the Constitution as it was originally written? There were a lot of people left out. If you do somehow consider the amendments part of the document, wouldn’t the 14th be original as well?
Were our founding Fathers bad guys, not any worst than any of our present politicians. They had their agendas. They had slaves.
Our soldiers hid in the brush and attacked the British. We call them “minutemen” those who don’t follow the rules of warfare are today called “insurgents”, or “terrorists”.
Mind you, there were 3 Elams in the revolution and 3 that fought for the south. I can find wills on the internet where those with my surname pass down slaves to their children. History on my great great grandfather has him collecting bounties on runaways. I’m talking family history as much as anything and it wasn’t a joke to those they controlled.
Enough with the campaign slogans. They’re bull shit meant to arouse the masses. Catch phrases in an advertisement for crap. I hope your guy wins. You’ll get what you deserve. Nothing.
Why the hard feelings? Is it that hard to face reality. Your guy is an empty slogan. I doubt he’s ever read the document. There’s some big words in there.
Oh no we are not going to divert to talking about Imus…. We are going to talk about the Constitution and your complete lack of historical knowledge thereof.
1) there were 13 Independent Sovereign States after the the Grand War of Liberation from the British Crown. 6 were States that forbid slavery and 7 that promoted the evil act.
2) Most if not the majority of our founding fathers did not own slaves. Slaves were prohibitively expensive and required much in the way of resources to maintain their health and welfare to keep them in productive shape. So you assertions that “all founding Fathers” owned slaves is in fact wrongheaded revisionist history force fed Marxist philosophy taught on our schools since the 1960s.
You are wrong… you know you are wrong and if you are going to pontificate that kind of bull shit you better give verse and chapter friend because you will be confronted every time with the facts.
3) To create a viable National Government it was necessary there be a compromise with the 13 original States. The compromise was a unholy but at the time necessary balance of those States that allowed slavery and those that did not. Was it perfect? No but it was as the preambles states, “… in order to form a MORE perfect nation,” a step in the direction of meeting the grand believe that, “…all Men are created equal.”
What the unholy compromise did is allow for a Strong Federal Republic to be formed. The Constitution was and is the Framework of that Federal Republic. Whether you like it or not Terry, this country would not have become a Nation with out the Compromise on slavery.
Yes it took 85 years, before the question would be finally settled by a bloody Civil War and then the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments but in every case those Amendments were legally passed and added to the Constitution. The Constitution worked. The process our Founding Fathers provided for was applied and the Federal Republic Held.
4) My family fought for the Union. My Fathers side O’Briens, Judkins, and the McCollums all fought for the Union. On my Mothers side the Sanders and Crows fought with the 14th Kansas Calvary “Red Legs.” a Union Militia Unit of fame and Infamy.
My wife’s family draw their history back to the antebellum South at have direct relationship with James Ewell Brown “Jeb” Stuart. They proudly fought and many died for the South.
43 years married now I think we can safely say that we have buried the hatchet when it comes to fighting the civil war and 166 years since the end of slavery I do not blame my wife or her forefathers for the institution of slavery as it would be an unhealthy continuance of a argument settled long ago and forbid by the Constitution that you seem to hold in such disdain.
5) I’ve talked with Mr. Imus…. Yes he has read the Constitution… I believe he has a better grip on the meaning and history of the document than you do for sure.
You are free to vote for who ever you wish, I plan to vote for Imus. I am not going to stoop to your low tactics of personal attacking Cook. I’ll leave that to others. I just know a vote for Mr. Cook is a wasted vote as his health dictates that he will not be able to serve our district. The man has a Cancer and has a huge hill to climb, as it is his third bout with the sickness. The third time is usually the charm.
Unless you are looking to have Cook’s Grave Stone to reflect Congressman instead of Colonel fine, but if you want a proven leader, one that has not made a carrier of living off the government tit, a successful businessman that can serve for the long haul, Imus is your only choice.
I stopped reading at “Marxist”. Talk about getting off topic. Nobody said everybody owned slaves. Our founding fathers were at odds with each other as well as in agreement. I’ll go back and read your dribble just to say I’ve read it. I want you to feel important.
Slavery was only a compromise to those who were not enslaved. There just wasn’t a lot of ethical thought about it in those days. It just was. It didn’t make our founders either good nor bad, though the slaves may have had different opinions. Going back to the Constitution as it was originally written would call for times when we had no further guarantees of the rights of others. I’m just asking what Imus means by upholding it as it was written. There is no substance to his statement. Now if you want to interrupt that as a dislike for the instrument, maybe the flood did more damage than you think. A little warpage going on there.
The two of you have no idea of what the Constitution is about. You have your minds made up before you read it. It allowed those who had gained from Britain’s control to keep control while doing interstate business. It allowed others just enough rights to squelch further revolution, or what you call “a compromise”. It was about keeping control. It took a civil war to change it. It took women protesting to change it. I guess we could go back and do it all over again.
Cook has cancer. I hope you never get sick. I’d have to find someplace else to buy hot dogs. What a ridiculous reason to alter your vote.
Well if he can not finish a single term it is a wasted vote…. What you end up doing is giving Brown free rein to appoint a Democrat in the 8th Congressional District over the objections of its constituency…. But hey I figure that is what you actually want, therefor the support for Cook.
Just a quick point. Governors do not appoint people to fill house vacancies. House vacancies can only be filled via special election. Governor’s are only able to appoint people to fill Senate vacancies. So there’s no way that Jerry Brown would be able to appoint anyone to fill any hypothetical vacancy.
I stand corrected Sir or Madam….
That withstanding, your correct observation would make my point about Imus being the better choice even more important.
I got to tell you, we have some great readers! Where else do we have users correcting on the fly? God I love this website!
There goes my whole plan for turning California into a Marxist state. Darn.
Pinky: “Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?”
The Brain: “The same thing we do every night, Pinky—try to take over the world!”
Terry? Take your morning Meds.
Terry siad, “The two of you have no idea of what the Constitution is about. You have your minds made up before you read it. ”
yep, the constitution can only be interpreted correctly by Terry, all other need not attempt such a feat. Your just not as smart as Terry. LOL
Whatever, i never made the claim. Your friend did.
Terry, stop making false accusations.
I’m going to be on you like a dog on meat until you show where he made that claim. Put up or shut up.
If I’d had read this first I wouldn’t have posted anything else.
Hey Terry, what color was the first slave owner in the USA?
Probably an Indian “owning” another Indian.
or perhaps one of my relatives?
Terry. From The Heritage Foundation
It is commonplace to dismiss the Founders as racists who may have attacked slavery from time to time in writing but never in action. Critics of the Founders often claim that, since the Constitution did not abolish slavery, the Founders were unconcerned with actively fighting the institution in their lifetime—even if they may have wanted slavery to disappear at some vague point in the future. This argument is both misguided and naïve.
On this day in 1787, the Continental Congress passed the Northwest Ordinance, which established the first official U.S. territory. Together with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the Northwest Ordinance is one of the four “organic laws” of the United States and, as such, is critical for understanding the Founders’ actual views concerning slavery.
The final article of the ordinance declares unwaveringly that “there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary servitude in the said territory.” By a firm majority, Congress had officially repudiated slavery. Significantly, the resolution caused five states to enter the Union as free states (Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin). Furthermore, the ordinance was reaffirmed by the newly created U.S. Congress in 1789—two years after the ratification of the Constitution.
The Northwest Ordinance reveals that, despite the compromises they made to preserve the Union, the Founders were firmly committed to immediately halting the spread of and eventually eradicating the institution of slavery.

Terry, regarding the first usa slave owner.If one of your relatives was black you could be correct. A black man had a black slave.
So the minutemen were insurgents? Terry, that could only be true if they attacked on foreign soil.
Terry, you never actually make a point. Again, you are just a heckler on CT. You call mock someone that you know nothing about. If I called that behavior sophomoric it would be a compliment that you don’t deserve. I’ve had some very heated debates with a few on CT, none of them were lacking in a defense of their point of view. I think you just want to get attention. HPD
in·sur·gent
[in-sur-juhnt] Show IPA
noun
1.
a person who rises in forcible opposition to lawful authority, especially a person who engages in armed resistance to a government or to the execution of its laws; rebel.
2.
a member of a section of a political party that revolts against the methods or policies of the party.
Thanks, I usually double check definitions unless I’m pretty sure of the understanding. I stand corrected on that one and I’m glad you posted that. It would be like not telling me my zipper was down.
How is adjacent support of Federal Law considered insurgent?
Does anyone who would come to the aid of a police officer now be considered an insurgent?
Silliest accusation of the day.
Those Watching for and reporting to authorities an invasion in progress is not being an insurgent. The insurgency is those crossing the boarder without legal right to enter.
Let’s not get into racism or marxism or any other ism for that matter. The Constitution did not include equal rights for all as originally written. That is different than outright racism, it isn’t a marxist statement, it is simply the truth.
Well how about you stop with the Revisionism?
You seem to be the one doing the revising. I’m sorry i see through your prince. Marxism LOL. When you can’t answer something, just don’t answer. You have no idea, so you went on a rant telling me how smart you thought you are, like you have a secret copy of the Constitution that only you can decipher. You can’t channel our forefathers, you can’t speak for them. They probably would be insulted by those taking upon the title of the brave insurgents that split our country from England. You think minutemen is a group on the border and the tea party is a group of disgruntled republicans. They weren’t. Get it. You have no idea. How easily fooled.
Yes and we have secret handshakes and funny hats too….
That was a hat?
You’re talking about those playing border patrol, they are not minutemen, nor were they part of the tea party. That’s only pretend stuff, it isn’t real.
Typical of Terry, he just heckles and has no response. Too bad, I thought he wanted to be considered a relevant poster instead of an impostor.
Then let us go back to my original statement. Neither of you have came up with an intelligent response.
Only free white landowners had rights. Landowners who received their original grants from England.
I didn’t start the marxist crap. I didn’t start calling names. I don’t really care except that when the conversation dwindled down to your level, it was lost. Well… Thats a game I can play too. Intimidation does not replace intelligence in a viable argument, but if that’s all you have, I still give you respect at least until I get bored.
Papa, the late George Carlin said it best, ‘Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.’
Terry’s lack of historical context in his argument and his refusal to do his homework, makes further arguing with him a exercise of futility.
Not my beef, but there is nothing accomplished by personally digging into the hide of Terry. Just stick to factual and historic discussion.
Terry makes a good argument and you do too.
It’s a pretty thick hide, besides I enjoy watching them grasping at straws as the sink into their own ignorance. Their emperor is naked. He needs a new trick.
I do appreciate the backup in spite of our prior disagreements, though what I’m really looking for is an explanation of what the candidate stands for besides reserving the right to overpopulate to married citizens. Myself, i don’t really see much difference.
Delusional disorder is characterized by the presence of recurrent, persistent non-bizarre delusions .
Delusions are irrational beliefs, held with a high level of conviction, that are highly resistant to change even when the delusional person is exposed to forms of proof that contradict the belief. Non-bizarre delusions are considered to be plausible; that is, there is a possibility that what the person believes to be true could actually occur a small proportion of the time. Conversely, bizarre delusions focus on matters that would be impossible in reality. For example, a non-bizarre delusion might be the belief that one’s activities are constantly under observation by federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies, which actually does occur for a small number of people. By contrast, a man who believes he is pregnant with German Shepherd puppies holds a belief that could never come to pass in reality. Also, for beliefs to be considered delusional, the content or themes of the beliefs must be uncommon in the person’s culture or religion. Generally, in delusional disorder, these mistaken beliefs are organized into a consistent world-view that is logical other than being based on an improbable foundation.
In addition to giving evidence of a cluster of interrelated non-bizarre delusions, persons with delusional disorder experience hallucinations far less frequently than do individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder .

Now I understand what the hell you’re talking about. It’s like playing border patrol. Do you wear a uniform or just point hot dogs at them?
Now that’s funny.
Why is it when all else is lost you guys go for my sausage?
Terry,
Our founding fathers were men that were heros at the time, they could have written the Constitution to include power for themselves, instead they spent many days creating a balance of power and because they didn’t think they knew everything, they created the amendment process. The Declaration of Indepence in my opinion is the most beautiful letter ever written. The Constitution is the oldest Constitution in the world. We need people in our government that believe in the Constitution.
I find few who don’t believe in our documents, only those who claim they somehow have a better interpretation than everyone who doesn’t agree with them.
Some are judges, some are politicians, and some have websites.
Our Constitution deserves better than to be used as an empty campaign slogan.
What has the man done, sat at the border while having 9 kids, while repeating the empty words of others.
The good thing is he isn’t dying of cancer.
Terry says ….[Imus] sat at the border while having 9 kids….
Huh? What is your problem with either? Is it a sin to foster children?
“They have been foster parents in San Bernardino County. They have 9 children and 3 grandchildren.”
What is wrong with falling so in love with those foster kids as to call them you own? Have you seen the picture of his family? It is like a United Nations…. It is what America is about.
Yep, someone that actually is pro life and has foster kids must be evil. Practicing what he believes in.
What kind of lameo attacks a person on that basis. I’m sure that Cooks a good guy as well. For me, I’ve got to go with what I know. Gregg is a no bull get er done kind of guy that’s not looking for a pension or a paycheck to make the change locally and at the state level.
Please clarify, he has 9 foster kids that he considers his children or he has had foster kids in SB county and 9 children like it says?

Terry:It seems ironic. Guys like you criticize politicians for being part of the system. Then when someone comes from outside the system you say they don’t have experience. You can’t have it both ways. I’ve met with Congressman Lewis at the capital in DC. He’s one republican that I always voted for. Last election he was the only guy that I left out of my Vote Out The Incumbents list. I’m tired of empty promises from polished politicians. No offense intended but Gregg is a professional businessman but not a polished professional politician. As I said, unless something happens to change my mind I’m voting for the guy that I met long before the elections. What you see is what ya get. If you think that someone is better because they tell you what you want to hear, don’t vote for him because Greggs not your type. Why don’t you post something positive for a change like Hi,I’m Terry, I like xxxx because, xxxx …… Instead your always a malcontent without objective reasoning like those pricks from the Westboro Baptist Church. It’s easy to be someone like you.
All I have to do is say, hey Terry what are doing here when you could be out protesting at a fallen heros funeral?
Did the heckler listen to the broadcast or call in. Did Gary do the interview? What were the impressions that you could take from hearing him. Just wondering. BTW, I’d love to see the pic of Gary and Gregg side by side… BTW I didn’t know they had a streaming live feed on their website. Worked great on my Mac. Too bad I just found out. Now I can listen any time since Gary’s little antenna is too short… to reach up here.
