One Right at a Time...

The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is going down in pieces. The passage of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act (H.R. 1913) by the U.S. House of Representatives is but another step in the curtailing of personal freedoms. Every time a law is passed regarding things one can or cannot say it is an impingement upon our personal liberties. Granted one should not use hateful speech, but neither should morality be legislated - nor should it have to be.

As our personal freedoms are eroded so are those of the individual states. As the federal government provides more and more funding for state services - and dictate how the funding is spent - it usurps control of the programs it pays for and the states become increasingly beholden to the almighty Fed. This is one of the reasons that the Beltway is so smitten with pork barrel spending. The more pig you bring back home the longer they keep you around. The longer you're around, the more pig you're able to bring back home. The longer they keep you around... A good reason for term limits. Three others are Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd and the "King of Congressional Pork" - John "Jack" Murtha.

The next Amendment to be attacked will be the Second - the right to bear arms. The leftists have been drooling over this one for a long time. Now that they control 2 of the 3 branches of government (And the Judicial branch is not safe either with David Souter announcing his retirement and Ruth Bader-Ginsburg in poor health), THEY will make an attempt to curtail this unalienable right. It's extremely important not to let the smokescreens created by crises - both real and manufactured or the talking points on both sides of the political spectrum cause distraction from the hidden agenda.

BEWARE...
