Re: The Restore America Plan - Tim Turner

The constitution allowed slavery.  It was never banned it under the constitution, only by the Emancipation Proclamation.

The constitution provides for an army, but it has no provision for the limitation of immigration.  That was limited through acts of congress.  Our borders were free and open and anyone who wished to could enter our country and after an appropriate period of time become a U. S. citizen - including your ancestors.

Blacks were counted as three-fifths of a person under the original constitution and slaves were not allowed to vote.  Read your history.

"How could you possibly call the nanny state progress? That's almost unbelievable. Let's depend on the most wasteful and corrupt way to do things. Let's let them provide "protection" and take away our God given rights."

How can you call the U. S. a "nanny state?"  The revocation of slavery, the granting the right for women to vote, removing the shackles of segregation, the abolition of the poll tax, the protection of women's health rights, the abolishment of discrimination based on gender, race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation - that created the "nanny state?"  I'm all for it if that's what you wish to call it.

Those trying to halt or even reverse progress are kicking and screaming and they will have limited success in some areas, but progress will continue and there isn't anything you can do about except - get out and vote, just like I can.
