Is America's governmental power a Right or Privilege
This is my proposal for the first case the Bench shall consider. The Bench is a venue for 5 conservatives to consider evidence as argued for morality in line with the Constitution. In this case, the power of the U.S. government to rule and protect its people shall be considered. Much of what we've heard in the news over the past 8 years has been hype generated by Bush hatred from the left and the history changing media bias complicit with NGO's and PAC's operating from agendas charging the executive branch with everything from orchestrating 9/11 to torture of detainees at GITMO to bypassing the Constitution using modern technology to listen into private conversations of U.S. citizens. We will attempt to cut through that hype to reach a consensus of our founding fathers' intentions for governmental powers and determine whether those powers are a responsibility and therefor a right or a privilege granted by the American public's ignorance or acceptance. Keeping in mind that the next president will represent the Liberal ideology and push the envelop with regard to the precedence set by the current president, if we had the authority, would we forbid the executive branch the policies it has prosecuted over the past 8 years? If so, which ones or to what degree?
Few of us realize that the widely revered father of the "sexual revolution" has been irrefutably exposed as a full-fledged sexual psychopath who encouraged pedophilia. Or that giant corporations voraciously competing for America's $150 billion teen market routinely infiltrate young people's social groups to find out how better to lead children into ever more debauched forms of "authentic self-expression."
Likewise, most of us mistakenly believe the "abortion rights"
and "gay rights" movements were spontaneous, grassroots uprisings of
neglected or persecuted minorities wanting to breathe free. Few people
realize America was actually "sold" on abortion thanks to an audacious
public relations campaign that relied on fantastic lies and
fabrications. Or that the "gay rights" movement, which transformed
America's former view of homosexuals as self-destructive human beings
into their current status as victims and cultural heroes, faithfully
followed an in-depth, phased plan laid out by professional
Harvard-trained marketers.

How can Americans take back their nation? The author says the only
way we can reestablish our freedom, our God-given rights to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness is to break the hammerlock of
statism and the notion that moral relativism holds the answers to
ordering people's passions and behavior.
"Taking America Back" exposes the weaknesses in America's current political and cultural systems and offers practical solutions, solutions that are real and doable that can revive freedom, decency, and justice in our nation.

The Liberals have produced a good marketing scheme for their agenda. The populace have been told big lies for generations and the voters have been sold a bill of goods. Given the expectations the people hold for the president, how will these policies affect an ignroant populace? In light of the fact that few voters can describe how our government works, what can we expect the end result to be of the presidents' wide and widening powers? How is the power struggle between the legislative branch and the executive branch cured.
Homework for the Jurors:
You have rights, the government has privileges 1-3
You have rights, the government has privileges 2-3
You have rights, the government has privileges 3-3

These are all videos and will not require a great deal of time to bone up on the issues relating to this case.
It is true that I disapprove of abortion. I know that this practice kills more than one million babies every year. I know
that those who founded its biggest provider were and are racist and sexist. I know that it harms minority communities the most and that it leaves a deep pain in the mothers of those lost children. But I don't take my disapproval and go around beating and killing either those who perform them nor those who receive them. That is what would demonstrate hate. My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in this faith so they can learn to value life the way I have learned to.It is true that I disapprove of the homosexual lifestyle. I know that this behavior is self destructive and millions of people suffer damage and disease to their bodies in its practice. I know that the gay lobby in America is pushing its acceptance into every corner of our culture including our schools' kindergartens. I know that this push is making our children's gender identity malleable and perverting their innocent psyches before they are ready for knowledge of such things. I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing homosexuals. That is what would demonstrate hate. My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in this faith so they can learn that this behavior is harmful to our society as well as to themselves.
It is true that I disapprove of the religion of Islam. I know that this religion has not been hijacked, that it practices the concept of justifiable deception, and that it requires its followers to institute world wide Sharia Law. The same law that requires unequal treatment of women, blacks, and unbelievers. I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing Muslims. That is what would demonstrate hate. My faith instructs me to invite them to join me in my faith so they can learn the source of real peace rather than Islam's brand of violent domination and overthrow of differing faiths and governance.
It is true that I disapprove of socialism. I know that this is the stepping stone toward Communism, Maoism, and basic despotism including regimes like Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Polpot, and countless others. I have studied a little history and seen that the end of this ideology of building a utopia on earth is always, always the last step before re-education camps, Gulags, genocides, and so-called freedom wars against free and successful societies. I don't take that disapproval and go around beating and killing socialists. That is what demonstrates hatred. My faith instructs me to invite socialists to join me in this faith so they can learn that people are inherently evil and must fight their own natures so they can live together in peace.
Hatred is not demonstrated in critical speech just because the speech is critical. Hatred is demonstrated in speech and actions that intend harm. Actions like keying cars, stealing burning or otherwise destroying political yard signs spray painting threats onto a candidates garage door firebombing a billboard or any of a hundred other examples is a form of intimidation. Actions which intimidate others for their views is an abuse of their right to freedom of speech. Hatred is demonstrated in speech which is intended to intimidate as well. Do not confuse hatred with an opposing view on what's good for our culture and society. Do not equate criticism with hatred.
