Not trying to be rude but he said the island would tip over.

I'm just glad that she doesn't have a vote! -- j

Slow progress. When you're ready I'll gladly give you some shampoo.

I once answered a question in a "Social Studies" class when asked where Columbus landed on his first trip. I quoted Ogden Nash, "He studied China and China's lingo, And promptly bumped into Santa Domingo." I was sent to the principle's office with a note saying I was "acting smart" in class. I can imagine what would have happened to me if this woman was a teacher and I was in her class. I probably would have had to take up permanent residence in the principle's office. (I wonder if I would have done better by acting dumb).

I think it's time for the states to take matters into own hands and the secession of the republic. There should very little tolerance for for this BS. Seeing the recent numbers bandied about how poorly the gov't is doing it's job that close to 50% of Americans don't seem to care. Now is the time for the minority who are concerned citizens to do something about it. We should be tired of the status quo. If I could start a new Confederate States of America I would! There is no-where else left in the world to start a Galt's Gulch now!
I see no other alternative. I even wrote emails to Senator Jeff Flake and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick about this strategy among other issues. Of course, they didn't address that. They did address the other issues in Brave New World words (Politico Speech). I going to a August Job Fair in Flagstaff where Kirkpatrick will speak and try to confront her, besides looking for a job.

Who are we, each a little ignorant peon allowed but one (when honest) vote, to question the authority of our Animal Farm more than equal elite betters (AKA Dem code word "Oink!")? Be content, mein obedient comrade citizens, to rally with extended fists raised in salute to our chairman as we issue ein glorious cry of "All hail der 2013 Lie Of The Year Winner! We your subjects adore the content of your character!"

Government abuse of power should disturb rational people of both liberal and conservative stripe. A government exercising tyrannical power can be viewed as "OK" so long as those in power do things the way you think they ought to be done, but it's those things like disregarding the 4th and 5th amendments, or unreasonable taking of property under eminent domain that trample individual rights of all citizens.

The problem comes from an irrational sense that changes we favor will be irrevocable. Liberals who are cheering on this President for Executive overreach will be screaming for impeachment of a conservative President who exercises the same imperial power, but by then it may be too late to reverse course, and we'll all be equally screwed.

Actually, she reflects decades of stupid people getting elected to office in DC. She is a dinosaur that sold blacks on weak entitlements instead of prosperity.
I say she is a dinosaur because the demographics have been swinging widely the last eight years. More families are moving into DC, while the black population is plummeting. In the eighties, the black population was in the low 90% range. Today, it barely reaches 50%. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/...

Of course the slaves don't have any rights to the plantation.

Really stupid & ignorant of her. But this exemplifies the "Beltway" mindset and we shouldn't be surprised.

One would think that "Government of the people, by the people, for the people" would have more meaning to her. I believe we have transparency in government, but it isn't the type the voters thought they were promised.

And this my friends is exactly why we have the 2nd Amendment. There may come a day when people like this "brainiac" rise to clutch at the real reigns of government. Some call it next Tuesday.

Norton is an idiot of the first water. Any politician that holds government secrecy to be acceptable should be removed from office at the next election or sooner.

Look at her record - she's a dyed in the wool, libtard dem, who never saw a power grab she didn't support (as long as it would give her more power), a gun grab she didn't support, or a removal of authority from "We Serfs the People" to "Them the Ruling Class".

The truly sad testament to this statement will be the number of people who agree. And they will continue to agree right up to the moment that a Republican occupies the WH. Whoa Nellie, the story will flip immediately.

would this very stupid individual have said the say thing if the president were not a black man? I doubt it!

This example of the DC loony machine reminds me of the Roads Scholar that was worried about an island sinking if we put too much weight on it. It is no surprise to me anymore when this sort of statement surfaces. The problem is that she is smarter than her electorate.

Stupid people say stupid things the party should be renamed Dumbocrats

It's time to shrug.

The inmates are running the asylum. EHN clearly is the coo coo bird that inhabits a clock that tells the correct time only twice a day.
What is it about the citizens of the District of Columbia that causes them to elect people like E H Norton or Marion "the bitch set me up" Barry to represent them over and over again. Maybe their proximity to the looted money machine of DC.
Cheers

Maybe there is still hope for you maph. Lol

The most interesting part is she's in Congress, and she's arguing the Exec branch should have more power. We've had a trend toward more Executive power, and Congress seems to encourage it.

It's funny she mentions separations of powers. Why do we that if Congress just gives its power away?
