I haven't heard anyone claim a speed limit violates the Bill of Rights, and I don't find anything in there that would support that. But I certainly do see a prohibition, clear and indisputable, against self-incrimination and against searches of our papers absent a warrant obtained by oath of...

The people, through the States at the first constitutional convention, placed limits on the government's power, limits that are beyond the reach of any majority. You imply that the government should be able to limit this or that. You may as well suggest they should be able to flap their arms and...

Aside from a few industries, like the transportation industry, where I'd this that the gummint is checking time cards to make sure you are not working too many hours? What hell hole is this? Second, you have things precisely backward. The constitution doesn't guarantee a few basic liberties and...

You can't seriously equate safety equipment with having to incriminate yourself. But then again, you just characterized constitutional concerns with crap, so... You know how many men are in the ground over constitutional crap? You wanna think this over some more? -- You know the problem with...

(personal attack omitted) Ron PAUL didn't leave the GOP; the GOP left him. Ronald Reagan once said of the Demon-crats, "The Democrats have gone so far left, they've left America." And boy, was he right. Now, the Demon-crats are even farther left, waaaay farther left, and the Republicans are...

I worked for a very large company that flew a humongous flag out front. It was taken down every evening and put up again the next morning, by the security guards. It would have taken 6 guys to do the job properly because it was so huge. It was done by 2 guards, who would lower it and bundle it...

Here's a reason: my business ain't the state's business. There's not one iota of data on a state ID/"driver's license" to which the state is entitled. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Rhymes with bull spit. If I can be prosecuted for it, it's a law. SCOTUS has ruled that there can be no remaking that abrogates rights. I forget the exact wording. Another SCOTUS judgment said that the 5th amendment prohibition against forced self-incrimination applies in ANY circumstance in...

I don't think that was Jefferson's point. Regardless, if the GOP nominee isn't Dr. Paul, then Obama might as well be reelected. A rose by any other name/a dung heap by any other name... If the next president isn't Ron Paul, then it will be either Obama or Obama by another name and lighter skin...

The entire logging system violates drivers' rights. Last I checked, the 4th amendment contains no exception for professional drivers, doesn't contain the words "compelling government interest" or "unless we want to." -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

States that say a cop can disarm you while he has any dealing with you are the ones with the wheelbarrows. They must push them ahead or they wouldn't be able to walk. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

You apparently were uninformed about the fact that all those incidents I mentioned were real. I'm not uninformed; you are, and probably as much by design as anything else. You see/hear/speak no evil about cops because... I knew it was something like that, but I was guessing you were a cop's...

It's a short detour, isn't it? 2012: Ron Paul or not at all. The lesser of two evils is still evil.

I'd settle for one way. God, under certain circumstances, prescribes capital punishment, and proscribes prenatal infanticide in all circumstances. He says taking a life is permissible here, and impermissible there. That's not both ways; that's one way. 2012: Ron Paul or not at all. The lesser...

A couple important things here: The general equity portions of the Old Testament, including the eye-for-an-eye part, were set forth specifically for ancient Israel, and though they are certainly useful in determining what's right, they cannot be transmuted straight across into today's Western...

Taking the right steps, it could be under $2 in short order. The technology to make oil from coal has existed for years. GE has this technology and has considered building such plants in the past. But oil has to stay above $30/barrel for them just to break even, and when they've discussed...

...and how can they ensure nobody votes more then once, or post-mortem, Chicago-style. Showing ID is a must. -- You know the problem with bad cops? They make the other 5% look bad.

Actually, the reason was that the Founding Fathers set up strong states and a weak federal government. Because the balance of power was different, senators were to represent State interests and were selected by the States to do just that. The House was to represent the people. -- You know the...

This isn't just Obama. Election fraud is almost entirely a tactic of the left, except when Ron Paul runs, in which case the Republicans do it internally. Iow, this is straight out of the Demon-crat playbook, and not the back page, either. This is situation normal for them. -- You know the...

It amazes me that those are the conclusions you draw, especially after all the examples I gave (yes, they are all actual, recent occurrences). You remind me of the friend with whom I watched a military movie--the one with gunnery sergeant Hartman. After seeing the first half, he said, "Now...
