Almost everything the government does is unconsitutional...So what's your point?

David Rivkin says the individual mandate is unconstitutional. Did David Rivkin call the Iraq War unconstitutional? The Patriot Act? Indefinite detention without criminal charges and loss of Habeas Corpus? The bailouts?

Some conservatives defend the legality of the surveillance program. Among the most prominent has been David Rivkin, a former associate White House counsel in the administration of George H.W. Bush, who has recently found himself debating a series of conservatives who used to be his allies.

Rivkin said his fellow conservatives who call the surveillance program illegal are mostly libertarians and other believers in small government. The critics, he said, do not believe that the war on terrorism is a real war and that the nature of terrorism requires treating the home front like a battlefield.

"Most of the critics don't really agree that this is war, or if they do, they haven't thought through the implications," Rivkin said. "The rules in war are harsh rules, because the stakes are so high."

"The display of a Bible verse on the football field is a violation of federal law."

Whatever happened to our country?

The tyranny of the federal leviathan and its apparatchiks will not cease until every last vestige of Christianity is extirpated from the face of the earth. To do otherwise would mean ushering in a Christian theocracy, not being tolerant of non-believers, abandoning our commitment to diversity and destroying religious freedom.

Jimmy Carter Hates Dissent

The Free State Movement

Is nothing but petty anarchism and libertinism by the pious adherents to the marxism of the right. That its descended into a crass movement to extirpate all restraint towards their concupiscence of sex, money, and controlled substances, isn’t shocking. This isn’t the atavism of the founding of the Republic, it’s a bizarre amalgam of Bakunin, Rand, and Nock(The destructive influence of Ayn Rand on libertarianism cannot be underestimated). They ignore the admonition of John Adams that “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” If this is liberty, then give me death.

James Traficant 2010!

Wednesday will be a great day for America - James Traficant will be free at last. Convicted of petty corruption that would make him look like a saint compared to his fellow members of Congress, he was railroaded out of Congress on a 420-1 vote. Traficant was one of the last truly genuine members of congress and actually seemed to give a damn about his blue-collar constituents, unlike most of the faux-populist liberals who dominate the party today but are in the pocket of cultural leftists, corporations, and special interests.

R.I.P Ted Kennedy

I await another "Liberal Lion" to continue Ted's legacy in the United States Senate. It's vitally important we work to reform our broken immigration system, which Ted worked tirelessly to improve throughout his life. Ted even worked across the aisle with our great President George Bush and the maverick John McCain to help reform our broken immigration system. His passionate support of the Hart-Celler Act of 1965 was only the beginning of a lifelong pursuit of justice. It is my hope and prayer that Barack Obama will do his best to carry on Ted's legacy and with the help of Senator McCain and other patriots, we will finally correct our terribly unjust and racist immigration policies.

I will further genuflect on Kennedy's other legislative accomplishments in further posts. I hope to touch on his tireless efforts in support of gun control, his staunch support of Israel, his gallant efforts to increase federal control of education, his brave fight against extremist and anti-women Supreme Court appointments like Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, his opposition to the bigotry inherent in the Defense of Marriage Act and his personal struggle against the "special interests" who wanted the Cape Wind project built less than 5 miles from his home. Also, we cannot forget Senator Kennedy's deep Catholic Faith which helped frame his passionate support for a woman's right to choose.

May the struggle live on in Ted's memory.
