He Has No Drugs And Knows His Constitutional Rights
Via Bill
Today, I was alerted by a viewer to this video as he asked for help
sharing it. It was taken not even 24 hours ago by a young man in
Rutherford County, TN by the name of Chris Kalbaugh. Chris was stopped
at one of these checkpoints last night and as you will see in the video
he complied with the law. The whole time Chris was recording his
encounter with police. Over and over his constitutional rights
were violated and once again he was told the same thing so many of us
have heard over and over: that we must sacrifice our liberty for
safety. In Chris’ case, none of the conduct by police in this video
made him or anyone else on the roadways in Rutherford County any safer.
Here is the video and a quote from the Rutherford County Libertarians Facebook page:
Across the nation yesterday and likely all
throughout this weekend, local law enforcement will be putting up DUI
checkpoints. The idea behind these checkpoints is that they help to get
drunk drivers off of the roads. Unfortunately, time and again we see
that these checkpoints do very little in that regard while managing to
trample over the constitutional rights of sober drivers.

How police lost the fight for hearts and minds
As communication technologies improve, most Americans are learning that police forces include many psychopathic, murderous thugs. Videos of police committing rape, murder, mugging and other crimes under the color of the law are everywhere. It's only a numerical minority of cops who commit most of the offenses, but the majority either abets them or look the other way. Some departments - usually in smaller jurisdictions - stay clean. Many - including pretty much all the major metro areas - do not. In the minds of a law-abiding person, cops become more dangerous than freelance criminals because they are better armed and armored, they have backup on call and the law favors them as well. Many of my friends who are police officers or sheriff's deputies view other cops as the most serious threat to themselves and their families.

I typically do not address political issues in my blog. I sincerely believe we are JUST PEOPLE ... and I try hard to focus only on that. Further, I do not believe I can add anything to the wonderful words others may posted this day. Others are more eloquent, knowledgeable, and certainly smarter than I.
But, I am angry. And, I know our country is in trouble. Our founders came from lands ruled by monarchs. They knew the danger of a strong, unchecked government. For that reason, they framed the Constitution of the United States and three branches of government. Each branch would hold the power to keep the others in check. The last line of defense would be the courts where laws would be challenged that violate the constitution.
For over more than 200 years, good men and women died for that Constitution. They died for the freedom to live their lives, and the lives of their children and children's children, in peace as they saw fit.
Today the US places more people in jail, per capita, than any other nation. This is freedom? What the hell happened? We see school officials working with local law enforcement and filing charges again students who assert free speech.

reached its original drop-off location.

the war’s beginning and protected Charleston through the Civil War’s

Cops say they have photos of Maryland teacher doing it with family dog
Via The Drawn Cutlass
Here’s some solid, universally-applicable advice: Never have sex with dogs and never, ever photograph any sexuality activity between you and a dog.
With this helpful counsel firmly in mind, meet Stephanie Mikles, a behavioral specialist with the Harford County (Maryland) Schools who works mainly with special needs children.
A grand jury has indicted Mikles for “unnatural or perverted sexual practice,” reports WMAR-TV, the ABC affiliate in Baltimore. The indictment is short on details but it does allege that she had “sexual intercourse with a dog.”

Syria's Assad declares fall of 'political Islam'
Via Freedom Outpost
Syrian President Bashar Assad
said the massive protests against his Islamist Egyptian counterpart
brought the fall of "political Islam," in statements posted on Wednesday
on his official Facebook page.
"What is happening in Egypt is the fall of what is known as political Islam," Assad said in an interview with Syrian state newspaper Ath-Thawra, excerpts of which were posted on the Internet.
"Anywhere in the world, whoever uses religion for political aims, or to benefit some and not others, will fall," Assad said.
"You can't fool all the people all the time, let alone the Egyptian people who have a civilization that is thousands of years old, and who espouse clear, Arab nationalist thought," he added.
"After a whole year, reality has become clear to the Egyptian people. The Muslim Brotherhood's performance has helped them see the lies the (movement) used at the start of the popular revolution in Egypt."
The full, pre-recorded interview is due to be published on Thursday, a day after massive street protests in Egypt ended with the ouster of the Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi.
There is long-standing animosity between the Damascus regime and the Muslim Brotherhood, and membership in the group has been punishable by death in Syria since the 1980s.
