Obama Signs Bill To Extend Bush Tax Cuts

You are moving the goal posts and changing your boast.

Again, here is what you wrote



Where in the Constitution is this language? I cannot find it. The EEOC is not part of the language of the Constitution.

Again, so how does this work again? Here is the opportunity for you to show the Government teacher just how much more you know.

Are you really a government teacher? Come on.

You ask me this because .... what exactly? Is that language in YOUR copy of the US Constituton? Its not in mine. There is nothing in it about the federal government guarantying equal opportunity as Conservative claimed repeatedly but could not support with the language.

I wish I had a dollar for every time over the last few decades I heard somebody - usually a conservative- talk about their "Constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". I could take a nice vacation and get away from all this snow.

People should read the Constitution to see what is really in there.

Read the 5th Amendment. No conservative ever told you that the constitution guarantees equal opportunity.

Perhaps you should have read the thread a bit more thoroughly before telling me what is and what is not being alleged here.

Equal opportunity is guaranteed by the Constitution for ALL Americans.

And he said this many times in this thread.

That is almost as erroneous as claiming that the "general welfare clause" somehow delegatetes to congress the power to create welfare-redistributionist programs.

One of your fellow conservatives - Conservative to be exact - claimed that

Equal opportunity is guaranteed by the Constitution for ALL Americans.

Do you agree with him or do you agree with me that such a claim is not found in the Constitution?

We have a serious problem in this country when there are "civics" teachers who do not understand that equal rights means equal opportunity. Try to prevent someone from equal opportunity under the Constitution. Glad you aren't teaching any more.

We have a serious problem in this country when somebody is so pigheaded that they cannot admit that they made a mistake in saying that the Constitution guarantees EQUAL OPPORTUNITY which is clearly does not.

You are one amazing person Conservative. Most people at least stop digging. Not you. You send out for a backhoe.

One of your fellow conservative posters, American, said this about it

No conservative ever told you that the constitution guarantees equal opportunity.

You even shocked him. ;)

So equal rights doesn't mean equal opportunity? Interesting. Any American who isn't given equal opportunity doesn't really need it as they will win a big, big settlement in court. I find it absolutely amazing that a civics teacher doesn't really understand what our Constitution does and does not provide for. In my world equal rights means equal opportunity. In yours, no one really knows.

I have to disagree with you on this one

That is ok, it is fine to disagree. I would have love to have been discriminated against and not given equal opportunity. I could have retired a lot sooner.

that would be a title VII violation. how does the constitution guarantee equal opportunity? I took con law in law school, took an advanced seminar on it and have written a couple articles about the BOR and I cannot recall the equality of opportunity part

You are probably right although the 14th Amendment provides equal protection under the law and there are many laws promoting equal opportunity. The EEOC is in place to assure equal opportunity so that is what I have based my opinion on. Equal rights and equal protection to me means equal opportunity.

I don't agree with that but I can see how some one could claim EP=EO so we will leave it at that

But when the Government teacher tried to correct you, all you could do was disparage his lack of knowledge.

Smart move, he trusts an attorney skilled in this area of law over a NEA member
 
Truth is truth. It is a sad day when one True Believer will only take the word of a fellow True Believer prostrating himself before the same altar and worshipping the same god. But that shows you the rampant gang mentality that exists here among some.


Was never a member of the NEA. The are the more conservative.

And Conservative, I see you issued your thanks ..... and nothing else.

No matter.

Obviously it matters to you or you wouldn't have mentioned it. No matter, all this is a diversion from your lack of understanding of basic civics and economics. Let me know when you want to get back to the thread topic and your continued defense of the disaster that Obama is.

You are indeed sad... and without a shred of honor. Maybe some day you become a man and be able to both admit when you make a mistake and apologize for slurring someone who corrected you.

I wouldn't trust you to change a bedpan given your absence of basic decency.

And I have no use for your empty suit President, his radical leftwing agenda, and your support of that agenda. Instead of worrying about someone else's honor you should be more worried about the total distruction of this Administration and your support for it. Anything other than the discussion of the thread topic is a diversion from the reality of the results the Democrats have created. Guess I would try to divert as well if I had these kind of results.
