hey, we all DON'T hate something. i hate nothing.

You my friend are a liar! Don't try to baffle me with BS! I would be willing to bet a lot of money that deep down somewhere there is something you hate. Spiders, taxation, Brittany Spears, conservatives...

I know you think you don't hate anything but frankly people who fall this readily to nay saying are lying to themselves and us!

Hate is part of the human condition! Sorry but you don't walk on water as I can't.

That is absolutely untrue. It's a leftist claim, which is easily refuted with the Constitution and writing by the founding fathers. Read the 10th Amendment for starts. I should get paid for all the time I spend educating people in these forums..

If the powers of Congress to levy taxes were limited to those 19 enumerated powers, we would have no FBI, no CIA, no NSA, NASA, FEMA, no Department of Homeland Security. None of these independent agencies are grounded in those 19 enumerated powers. We wouldn't even have an Air Force. (An Army Air Corps would be OK, but not and Air Force as an independent agency).

I don't think your efforts to "educate" are bearing much fruit. It's a very incomplete education that ignores the General Welfare clause of the Constitution.

wrong...

just because YOU hate does not mean it's natural and normal to hate

i hate nothing

Leftist arguments are always destroyed by Reductio ad absurdum.

We would have the Air Force, it's a branch of the military.

General Welfare is the most intentionally misunderstood part of the Constitution. It can literally be used to override any other amendment or protection granted by the Constitution in the convoluted way that the Left interprets it.
