[geeks] just to stir things up, a few predictions

[Michael Horton]

the constititution does not provide for the following activities.
therefore, they must be done, if at all, at the state or local level
(assuming that the us constition is worth following).

    welfare, that is, any government subsidy
       1. social security
       2. medicare
       3. medicaid
       4. ssd (social security payments for the disabled)
    gun control laws (above what is mentioned in the constitution)
    restriction of free speech
       - political speech: only permitting certain entities to make
political comments
       - religious speech
       - commercial speech
    health care: "hilliary" care as an example of what has been proposed
       absorb 17% of the us economy directly into the us government but
would
       make public every individual's private medical records
       restrict travel and resettlement to different areas of the
country
       (that is, outside one's home district)
    presidential "declarations" implemented but not rescinded
    unemployment benefits (commonly called "welfare")
    funding medical research not directly linked to federal government
duties
    commercial subsidies (tabacco, milk, coffee, etc., etc.)
    competitive attacks on private entities (a la, the usps)
    specific areas of public safety
    public eduation (outside of military institutions)
    a legislative and executive judicial system

(services given to former and current government employees is not
welfare but a term of their employment.)

if john kerry's record is specifically surveyed, his support for the
above and more unconstitutional items will be seen.  he enjoys the
highest rating (along with john edwards) from liberal groups.  in fact,
if john kerry and edward kennedy (both massachusetts senators) were
compared, the results would show that kennedy is the more conservative.

(and don't pull the "common good" non-argument.  the federalist papers
do not define that term as expansively as the two major political
parties define them.

by the way, the state where i reside does not register voters according
to their party affliations (and i have none).  i have voted in both
republican and democrat primaries (not in the same election) and general
elections.
