A Nugget of Truth
"Sure the majority of law enforcement officers in this country are good honest people and we owe them our respect and our thanks. But every time I turn around, it seems as if our civil rights are eroding. We overlook police procedural violations, police brutality, because after all, the suspects are almost always guilty, right?
The Second Amendment supposedly protects us from unwarranted intrusions, search and seizures, arrest without charge or probable cause, but every day we see those rights whittled away.
We pass laws we know aren't constitutional, but shield the offense by giving them names like the Patriot Act--as if there was something patriotic about violating the constitutional freedoms that are the bedrock upon which this country was founded.
Is this important? You better believe it. Because this is the United States of America. We created the modern democracy. We invented the constitution, a written document that guarantees the people's rights--and restricts the powers of the government.
I love this country, but every time we let another constitutional right be trampled upon, every time we look the other way while some wrongful act is committed in the name of homeland security, or national defense, or patriotism, we become a little less American.
The erosion of one civil right only leads to another....."

C~B~N's only beef with the above statement is the one where it is stated we created the modern democracy. This nation in actuality started out as a republic. It was the politicos of old who perverted it into a 'democracy'-- the forebears of today's politicos who are slowly, cleverly and decisively destroying the Constitution of the United States.
'We the People' are so busy trying to make ends meet to keep a roof over our heads, that we are NOT paying attention to these "laws" that are brought to us and SOLD to us as ones to keep our precious families safe; when in actuality, they are meant to destroy this nation from within.
Oh yeah, have a good day.......
