This is the GOP?

I honestly want to know how this mentality has invaded the GOP?  How far the party has strayed since the days of Goldwater…

Virginia: Freedom Lost

Recently, the Virginia Legislature passed (in its infinite wisdom) HB 3202, more commonly known as the Civil Remedial Fees Bill.  Now before I go into my Constitutional tirade against this bill let me point out there are a few good features.  First of all, it increases the cost of a DUI to $750 (misdemeanor) or [...]

I am America

Today is a sad day.  The senate passed S. 3930 which does many things but worst of all destroys the most cherished writ – the writ of habeas corpus (950j part(b)).  Without habeas corpus none of the Bill of Rights exist.  What good is the right to free speech, unlawful detainment, etc if one can’t enforce [...]

Both sides of the debate (mainstream Democrats and Republicans) however would like to undermine the very rights they espouse to uphold. First, below is a copy of the Bill of Rights as written in the Constitution of the United [...]
