Congress, Baseball and the Constitution
Congress has no legitimate authority to question Roger Clemens …and our toleration for such interrogations comes at the expense of our own liberties!

If you’re actually wondering whether Roger Clemens DID or DID NOT take steroids, HGH or other “performance enhancing medications” …your absolutely missing the real point in all of this: PLEASE WAKE UP!!!
The question is NOT (and SHOULD NOT BE) whether Roger Clemens did or did not take these drugs.
THE REAL QUESTION IS THIS: EXACTLY WHERE DO OUR SUPPOSED REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS THINK THEY HAVE ANY LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY TO STICK THEIR RESPECTIVE NOSES INTO SUCH QUESTIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

Read it now, already!
Well now, I was wondering when the voice of reason would show up at the dinner table.
Although I, Albert, don’t watch a lot of the junk news that most of society watches, I do get tid bits of it as I skim through the channels. The amount of time I spend watching television per day you could probably count on a half a finger, and for very good reason. What is there that I can watch that doesn’t scare the living hell out of me or cause me to think the world’s coming to an end tomorrow?
Well, the other week when I happened onto a channel where Congress was drilling one of these baseball gurus about their drug habits, I watched for a few minutes and changed the channel. After having done so, I went back and watched more of it, as I had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right about all this.
I’ll tell you what’s not right about all of this… Congress has no place in baseball. That’s why there’s a baseball commission! What on Earth is Congress wasting their time… NO! the People’s time with needless hearings about drugs in baseball? As I watched it, I thought to myself, “Is there any facet of life that these people won’t try to control?”
I suppose not! And this is exactly what the author of our featured news item above means. I have to say that the only purpose I can assign to this exercise in fascism is to get the people of this nation use to government in every facet of their lives–even something as trivial as baseball and drugs! Where will it end?
In the beginning of this nation, by Constitutional mandate the Congress was intended to convene for a total of 6 weeks per year. Perhaps we should go back to this practice so Congress stops putting their nose into every little thing that doesn’t concern them.
According to the Constitution, there are a limited number of things that the federal government is charged to attend to, and all of them pretty much involve the protection of our borders and international relations. The Federal Government was intended to serve the States, not the States serve the Federal Government.
My concern here is that if Congress is allowed to extend their reach into such things that do not concern them–things that they are not, by law, suppose to deal with, then what else will they decide to tamper with. The writer of this story is right, your liberties are at stake here. Can’t you see that? Wake up and smell the bull crap, it’s right there in front of your face. (wipe you nose, you got some of it on you)
Okay, I’ll calm down now…
Your’s, Albert
