When you relay on force instead of freedom, the goal becomes to polarize. Many politicians in Washington have that as their goal – less freedom, more polarization between groups.

[N]ow you have the Republicans, who want to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws… DNC Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL), June 7, 2011
Wasserman Schultz is either insane or a pathological liar to make a statement like that.
So much for “The New Civility.”
FCC coordinated ‘Net Neutrality’ with anti-liberty group and Marxist
“Documents made public yesterday by Judicial Watch describe extensive collusion by Federal Communications Commission officials with a left-wing advocacy group in a campaign to expand government regulation of the Internet.” FCC control could give the FCC the ability to regulate content. You may like that not if you are an Obama fan, but the short answer is, no one should control the Internet. Read more

We are on the verge of having way too much dictatorship in Washington, D.C. – Ron Paul
“[W]e are on the verge of having way too much dictatorship in Washington, D.C. … Our rights come from our creator, not our government. … The mainstream wants balanced budgets, sound government and personal liberties — that is mainstream. The shift is in our direction — obeying the Constitution for a change,” – Ron Paul, May 31 2011
Then TheHill.com states: “Paul … faces an uphill battle as many Americans consider his positions to be on the far fringe of the right-wing.”
It is good to know that the “Constitution,” “personal liberties,” “sound government,” and “balanced budgets” are considered in Washington to be “on the far fringe of the right-wing.”
It shows how much freedom we have lost.
Baltimore police detain someone for taking pictures
Baltimore police detain someone for taking pictures. They admit it is not a crime, but then detain him. This officer shows his ignorance. Officer Scheidt in particular does not know the law.
They seem to think that you can not ask an illegal alien to provide ID, but you can ask a citizen to do so even when the police have admitted that he was not breaking the law. Talk about a kafkaesque world.
Exercise your rights or lose them.
[Update June 2, 2011]: It appears now that the MTA admits the officers were wrong. “They can most certainly take photos of our system,” Ralign Wells, the MTA Administrator, said. “We’ll look at our training processes, we’ll look at whether any administrative situations need to occur with those officers,” Wells added.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz denounced Republicans last week for believing illegal immigration “should in fact be a crime.”
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, denounced Republicans last week for believing illegal immigration “should in fact be a crime.”
Rep. Wasserman Schultz missed the “illegal” part in “illegal immigration.” HINT to the Rep, illegal immigration by definition is a crime.
Talk about a fool.
Maybe, things that are “illegal” are no longer crimes? Gives a license to everyone.

Autopen machines are unconstitutional
“the president would use an autopen machine that holds a pen and signs his actual signature [on the renewed Patriot Act]. ” the White House said.
Article 1, Section 7 of the United States says: “If he approve he shall sign it…” regarding the “Legislative Process”. Clearly the Constitution intends the President to sign a bill, not have a machine sign Bills. Anything else is unconstitutional.
Yet another example where expediency has trumped the Constitution. Opinions to the contrary are useful to mask the issue and create confusion. The Constitution is clear here and treating it otherwise is disingenuous at best, and treasonous at worst.
This discussion is ignoring the problems with the Patriot Act itself.
Update 5/28: The rational that the President “authorized” it means that ANYONE could sign bills for the President if he “authorized” it. A dog’s muddy footprint would work if it was authorized presumably. What exactly is required to “authorize”? A verbal statement – what about someone faking his voice? A wink – or was that a twitch? Something signed – oh wait, that is what we’re talking about?
The signature of the President IS the authorization for a Bill and it makes no sense to authorize the authorization. Just stating that makes it obvious how crazy the entire idea is.
As an attorney, all the legal memorandums that have been rolled out trying to justify the action are nothing more than ex post facto attempts to justify the autopen.
When President Obama comes home, he should sign the Bill in person and never use the autopen again. The use of the autopen is a farce.
Remember:
