When i read my bible about King David,GOD throught david took care of his people,and acording to the bible,a involment with the worng woman had a bad impact on the establishment/so to king solomon/NOW JESUS CHRIST WAS ANOTHER THING,The people in charge doing that time kind of make you think the world then was a lot like it is in today,s society.Everything and everybody had a price-tag,and the sick kept getting sick.BUT JESUS CHRIST DID NOT ASK FOR MONEY TO HEAL PEOPLE ONLY THAT HAVE FAITH AN BELIVE HE CONLD DO IT.Now you have to knowand or understand that a lot of people stop reciveing there unjust share,so they took the matter to the unjust leaders who took it to there unjust leader.AS the story go they in return killed JESUS.An for a while society was in a very sad state.An 2010 years latter we are yet back to where unjust leaders are yet again in control,leading us down the road to WORLD-WAR-THREE an this time we are not the only ONE WITH THE BIG-----BOOM.See we all need good health food clothing an shealter an the confortes that go along with life.I belive the foundation that was built for us 2010 years ago as well as again in 1776 is where we stand an keep growing.Then we want need MAYFOLWER#2.

It is appealing and exhilirating to know that Senator Hatch is a traitor to his party and not to the country and constitution. I find Sandy Mitchell of Utah's comments intellectually decrepit in every way possible. To say that Orin Hatch has no moral standing- when as a Mormon he has been described as one of the most committed and devoted to the faith and its principles- is a fallacy at best. There is no doubt in any well meaning and honest American's mind that Orin Hatch is one of the few legislators left who truly understands the gravitas of America's 21st century problems, and appreciates the fact that with a bipartisan front-effective principle above partisanship-America will continue to lead the democratic world.
His vote of consent and approval of most of Obama's key cabinet secretaries do not violate the Constitution in anyway. Sandy Mitchel of UT should stop the blatant attacks on Orin Hatch. Eric Holder's position on gun rights is to create an effective system that ensures that criminals do not have access to arms and that our communities remain safer. If Holder is the worst AG we have ever had, then what is Gonzalez? Is Holder's upholding of ethics in the federal gov't anti-constitutional? Is his crackdown on illegal interrogation measures a betrayal of America's commitment to constitutional and civil rights/liberties?
Aside Sandy Mitchel's personal attacks, I must attest to the fact that Orin Hatch though controversial at times, has proven to be an effective legislator. He is one whose reputation as a law-maker rivals that of Ted Kennedy, Daniel Webster, George Russell and Hart. If anything, for what it is worth, we should honestly acknowledge that in these polarizing times, there are a few like Orin Hatch who understand that effective principles that work, irrespective of what party/ideology advocates for that, are in the best interest of all Americans.
Kudos to one great American law-maker.When liberals identify a staunch conservative as bi-partisan and a deal maker, it tells you the best interest of the nation is safely-guarded.

"This is not to say that Senator Hatch and I were frequently in agreement. In fact, far more often than not, the opposite was true. But even in those circumstances when partisan divides were the widest, he didn't make his disagreements personal."
I have frequently had disagreements with Sen. Hatch. But I consider him a decent man, which makes him a rare commodity in the Senate these days.

I believe that Hatch is a traitor to his party and pushover and has little to no moral standing. And I will call him a RINO, a liberal and a liberals best friend.
I believe that Senator Hatch does not really care about our Constitution, nor about real laws that should be passed. Instead he seems to care more about the will of big businesses and the popular opinion of congress with little to no concern for his constituents. What happened to his oath of defending the Constitution? Instead he creates and passes laws that are destroying the primary law of this land.
Senator Hatch should be fired and replaced with someone that knows the Constitution and will defend it to his dieing breath. His agreement to the appointment of several of Obama's key personnel prove that he does not care about the American people. Holder being the worst person to have as the US AG. This man will destroy our right to bear arms, a right that is ours simply for living and a right that is guaranteed by the Constitution, yet Hatch seemed to think that it was OK to allow an avowed anti-gun activist to be our AG.
Give it up Hatch. Quit your job, and give it to someone that will defend our Constitution.

Hatch who, always smiling, twisted the knife in Clinton's back promoting false evidence to support impeachment - and you say he's among the best American leaders? Ha!
