You're the one who at least attempted to make a claim. The onus is on you. And you're the one evading.

No, James Madison made the claim. He is dead. I don't kick dead people when they are down, and have respect for our elders.

Don't you people know that historically Galileo and Madison were partners? I mean there is a long history of them teaming up and solving crimes. That was of course until Di Vince used a mind control ray on both of them and turned them to evil.

That was when Teddy Roosevelt had to team up with golden age Teddy Roosevelt and exile them into space. Even now, with the help of Lord Xenu, Madison and Galileo plot their revenge against the Earth.

Our only hope is that Cyber Lincoln, with the help of zombie Tesla, will be able to figure out a way to stop them using the lab located in his Log Cabin of Solitute at the North Pole.

You are wrong. Galileo dies in 1642 and Madison was not born until 1751.

I don't? How would you know that? Can you tell me what my educational background is?


I love the smell of troll in the morning. It smells like ....wet socks.

Your education did not allow you to understand simple concepts left to us by the Founding Fathers. It was either your education or simply whatever you got from the gene pool.:p

No, he's right. Galileo faked his death after using the philosophers stone to make himself effectively immortal. Of course, the result is that he went insane are started trolling message boards.

What's your evidence for this? This is right up there with your 'bin laden did 9/11 crap.

There is a third possibility that has nothing to do with me....

2.something that is amusing or ridiculous, esp. because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham; a thing, situation, or person laughed at rather than taken seriously; farce: Their pretense of generosity is a joke. An officer with no ability to command is a joke.

4.something that does not present the expected challenge; something very easy: The test was a joke for the whole class.

5.practical joke.
 
No, no. Because Madison was also a necromancer who merely faked his death, but was also able to conjure up Galileo. Hence Madison is able to comment on pending legislation in the 21st century, from his space station located within the Horse Head Nebula. The space station was constructed by Galileo, with the help of Lord Xenu, after their defeat at the hands of the Teddy Roosevelts.

Let us all hope that Cyber Lincoln is able to prevent their invasion of the Earth. Of course that pressumes that George Washington of the Anti-Matter Earth doesn't get involved.

Do you honestly believe that I suggested that?

I honestly believe you are hiding your opinion behind a Madison quote so that you can continue to evade challenges to it.

If you believe that big and complex legislation is wrong, do you suppose the healthcare bill is the first ever big and complex bill?

Why is big and complex legislation bad when the subject of it is also big and complex?
 
James Madison on AID to HAITIAN REFUGEES (1794)

James Madison on AID to HAITIAN REFUGEES (1794)

"Mr. Madison wished to relieve the sufferers, but was afraid of establishing a dangerous precedent, which might hereafter be perverted to the countenance of purposes very different from those of charity. He acknowledged, for his own part, that he could not undertake to lay his finger on that article in the Federal Constitution which granted a right of Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

--James Madison

Please note that the States could also help refugees, and that the Constitution could be amended if such a constitutional power was deemd worthy.

:cool:
 
When Mr Madison was contacted to be asked for comment on this quote being applied to the current situation in Haiti he had this to say:
"....................................................................................."

Because at this time, just like at the time of the last one of these threads, Mr Madison is STILL DEAD!
 
A perfect example of political fundamentalism: the inerrant words of the founding fathers should be the unchanging template from which all policies spring.

That being said, Washington had a point with his "dangerous entanglements"...;)

When did James Madison become the voice of pure authority?

Since when did Upchurch become an authority on the law, and since when was it decided we should ignore the wisdom of the Founding Fathers?

:confused:
 
I suspect the number of people killed in this earthquake, whose bodies are now piling up in the streets because there's no place to bury them, is higher than the entire population of Haiti when Madison was alive.

You are confused. No one cited Upchurch as an authority to be obeyed forever. Heck, he's not even dead yet.

And no one suggested we ignore the wisdom of the founding fathers. We just question you citing Madison's words and applying them to 21st Century issues as if they were topically relevant and somehow inerrant on issues Madison couldn't possibly foresee.
