Ms. R, Where in the Constitution does it say czars are illegal? If they are, presidents from FDR to George Bush have willfully violated the law. The term goes back to at least 1943 when FDR appointed a so-called "Food Czar." But the term, which isn't an official title but a term the media uses, became popular during the Bush years. Also, most of these people weren't "appointed." Of Obama's "czars," Factcheck says nine were confirmed by the Senate, and eight others were appointed by someone other than the president. Only eight were appointed by the president. Many of them have no power at all; they're just advisory roles.

I, like hundreds of thousands who attended were there to show those who “say” they know what we want with our government now know different. We are disgusted with the lot of them that take the big money and do not listen to the people who voted them in. We are outraged of their irresponsiblity on a massive scale driving our country far from the Constitutional Values it is based on, and a “President” who appoints czars that answer to no one but him! The House or Congress has no say in what ANY of these czars do…they are illegal according to our constitution BUT our taxes are paying their wages too! We are sick of having the bills NOT read or even have time to read them, just shove them full of additional pages of BS that we want NONE OF. I for one will not be led like a sheep to slaughter….and your right, I will march for my freedoms, my rights, and have the backbone to stand striaght in my fight for my liberty. Our Armed forces do it every single day!

The 9/12 march was a Glenn Beck project, promoted by Fox News. That sounds like corporate organization to me. Whether protesters paid their own way has nothing to do with how the march was organized.

The March on Washington was definitely not a “corporate-organized march”. Hundreds of thousands of Patriots paid our own expenses to call attention to issues that are important to us all. Wake up! When China, for example, demands payment of our debt to them, perhaps from our children and grandchildren, will there be anything left? Do you really want that? All of you should realize that spending money you don’t have is going to end badly. I don’t care if it’s Democrats, Republicans, or whoever; we have to stop this behavior. That’s what the March on Washington was about for me, and it deserves recognition.

Michele understands that the unemployed boat workers in Little Falls don’t care about jobs or unemployment benefits. They just care about resolutions honoring corporate-organized marches.

People in Blaine can’t afford to fix their rusty trucks. But they don’t care, cause Michele will be on Fox again soon.

I’m glad that they are getting what they apparently want.

Yes those who marched during the RNC in St. Paul, were corraled, there permits revoked, terrorized by riot cops, pepper sprayed, gased.

(and don’t even get me started what happened to the anarchists)

ZNOFOB? Wow, is that some type of cute way of saying xenophobe? What a clever use of the alphabet. He/she probably believes that’s how it’s spelled.
Must be some rube from St. Cloud.

ZNOFOB: We’re not a paper. Also, how did I bash Bachmann in this piece?

fascinating to me is why this paper places so much emphasis on Bachmann reporting, and all call her names or otherwise abuse her. Cannot she have her ideals? Cannot she get voted into office? Apparently, yes she can.

Can’t you make any positive comments on a liberty minded individual? No, you can not.

So the question is whether or not one believes in the constitution, individual liberty, or a more “collective” system, is it not?

How was this country founded, I ask? For individual liberty? Or for communal good?

You make me sick to my gut to understand and know how communitarian this publication is in deed, and the supposedly educated idiots who comment here against freedom and individual liberty.

If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.

I love individual liberty, it is what made this country great. Communitarianism is destroying it now, mostly through the world bank masters at our Federal Reserve.

Good work, keep bashing Bachmann.

Keep destroying what made this country great.

idiots.

They don’t have the votes to pass even this nonbinding resolution. That’s a good thing too.
