As this piece from MSNBC illustrates, John McCain is very much in favor of continuing the anti-constitutional approach. He wants to continue regulating political speech (if only Sam Adams could hear that), while increasing regulations on energy producers and consumers. Soo, if you're a consumer or supplier and you don't like it? Try speaking out against it 60 days prior to an election.

Ahh, freedom...

Check it out, Strongbad!

There's nothing like adding insult to injury. In the case of the energy needs of American consumers, the high prices caused by federal devaluation of the Dollar, ethanol requirements and restrictions on exploration and refining have been combined with the fact that the federal government owns land it is not supposed to own, like, oh, this parcel in Michigan...

Wow, just when you thought they couldn't say anything DUMBER, the politicians prove ye wrong!

Check out the blather from the fascists and socialists in DC regarding the unconstitutionally created Fannie Mae and Fredie Mac! How about we let them FAIL, clear the housing and business markets they've artificially inflated, and let the market work to then utilize the worthwhile ventures in a profitable way -- a way GUBMENT has no incentive to explore!

Here's the piece! http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=avnMyKESZ2qk&refer=w...

As you read this, see if you can tell Mr. Bernanke about "opportunity costs". Remind him that the moment someone's money is taken from him against his will, he begins losing opportunities to utilize that liquidity in the way HE prefers, and is, instead, forced to see his cash go into ventures he would not have chosen. It's called a LOSS, Mr. Bernanke. Get it?

Jeesh. This guy is bad news, cats!

Please take a moment on this Independence Day to read Glenn Jacobs' piece on the Declaration and freedom. It is superb!

Compliments to FreedomsPhoenix and Ernie for getting this up at their site!

Remember, the Bush Admin asked Congress NOT to declare war, specifically so that (they believed) they could conduct this kind of interrogation).

All while the US citizenry was being told that the people being held in Gitmo didn't need to have the evidence against them brought up in a criminal trial.

Thanks to the on-the-ball Stephen Smith, we can give you the latest nonsense from the statists. As Stephen says, now one rationale for expanding the state can support another piece of fascism.

Nice!

And all to fulfill unconstitutional laws that have been enacted to stop low-price labor from arriving here in the US.

Sick.

Yes, there's nothing like that CRAZY Fourth Amendment, is there?

Nothing like creating incentives to engage in risky ventures. Nothing like hiding real risk from people. Nothing like government.

The Dems really believe in freedom of choice, don't they?

And how about those Republicans and their claims that detainees were getting all the "protections of the Geneva Accords"?
