Default Re: Hatch Wants A Foreign Born U.S. Prez.


Seems like typical Orrin Hatch: He uses his "conservative" cover to push
what would otherwise be noted as a "left-wing" cause. He has done this
repeatedly during his Senate career. And, worse of all, a lot of Utahans
keep voting this guy back into office.

Is there any chance in Hell that perhaps our Founding Fathers had a reason
for this being in the Constitution other than just keeping "foreigners" from
the presidency? Perhaps that an immigrant might not have totally given up
his or her allegiance to their former nation, while their children who would
be born here would have had no connection to it? Just look at the number
of Mexican immigrants (both legal and illegal) who want to be able to keep
their Mexican citizenship while enjoying the benefits of being in the United
States (or being a citizen).

I overwhelmingly believe that the Founders were much wiser than Senator
Hatch, even though he constantly sees himself as being wiser than most of
them combined. And as far as his claim that his proposal to amend the
Constitution is not "taken lightly", that's absolute bull - he's proposed
year after year an amendment to the Constitution to ban flag burning - an
amendment which is totally unnecessary and gives the idea that there is
something wrong with the Constitution itself.

The flag burning amendment is a "left-wing" cause?

I think in both cases substitute the word "statist" for "left-wing"
and you're both statements become more accurate.

Hatch loves government, loves making it bigger, loves making it spend
more, loves having it encroach on our freedoms more. That he does it
all in the name of "conservatism" is what makes "conservatism" a
morally bankrupt position in modern american politics. The "left" is
the same way, its just a difference in the ways in which they want to
grow the state. The "left" and the "right" argue about where and how
they should grow the state as if everyone sits down on April 15th
every year and says "Gee, I sure do wish the government were BIGGER!".

No, that is what I call "moronic".

I am in no way a supporter of Hatch or that idiotic idea but i truely believe
he did not come up with the idea. I believe earlier i heard that the MPAA and
the RIAA have both said that if they could access the so called pirated data
on ones hard drive they would attemp to destroy or delete said files even if
it mean disabling access to ones computer. I say just let them try and let
them get sued . A huge class action would be sweet..
