Here’s a powerful post from downsizedc.org that I’d give my left one to have written.
… On July 4, 1776, 56 men stood up and agreed to pay the price for our liberty.
They had spirit.
The politicians who walk the halls of Capitol Hill are home in their districts now. They’ll ride in parades and give speeches [...]
Proud to wave the colors:
You are a
Social Liberal
(73% permissive)
and an…
Economic Conservative
(80% permissive)
You are best described as a:

As John Sidney Walker McCain and Barack NMIHT: The Fat Guy, for the moniker Obama begin the run for the White House, I’d propose another alternative, who represents a Real Change: former Georgia Congressman Bob Barr, the Libertarian Party nominee for the Presidency in 2008.
There’s a new sidebar item, with photo and linkage, that will [...]
Recorded when there was still a modicum of trust in our government, elected officials, and the press:
Our government, elected officials, and the press are now unfortunately all part of the monolith; reinforcing, aiding, and abetting each other in fostering a culture of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. What modern-day patriot will rise to challenge the [...]
I’m proud that, for 3 years or more, I’ve been able to avoid the cluster-eff that air travel in America has become. I don’t fear crashing planes, terrorists on planes, or anything remotely similar. I don’t fear, but resent with every fiber in my body, the feeble ministrations of the TSA [...]

I had no idea the Bill of Rights had its own Day. As I see it, the BoR should be celebrated, implemented, and judiciously guarded every day of the year. I’m probably hopelessly naive. But, here’s the text which we should hold dear:

Police: Hershey Candy Looks Like Drugs
Are drug dealers now dictating that certain product packaging is taboo? Are our law enforcement agencies really so paranoid?
