Hate to over-ride my earlier screed but I just wrote that “voting is the only right we have left” and it struck me how woefully true that is. If I knew the Bill of Rights by heart as I should I could probably go right down the list and show you how every one has been violated (except maybe the rule about quartering troops in peacetime…I think that’s in there). Regardless, think on it, the right to free speech was elimnated (at least in political circumstances) starting at 12:01 this morning when McCain-Feingold went into effect. The right to bear arms is being whittled away daily and PA just elected a governor who would like nothing more than to disarm the state. It goes on and on.
I’m not a libertarian wing-nut and I’m damn sure not a “civil liberties” idiot but dayum, we keep losing every day and I find that it ain’t Mr. Ashcroft who is constantly violating our rights…rather it’s the “equalizers” the ones who think everyone is the same no matter what God and biology puts in the way. Thank the Lord for the ACLU, without them…we might actually be a free people!
