Communists believe in the government owning the business/liberty of citizens. Socialists believe the government should control the business/liberty of citizens. The difference is merely the length of chain in the shackles which confine.
However, the Fascists, well, they are the ones who determine how many links are permitted in the chains.
[…] We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

WASHINGTON DC – The Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act on Tuesday, the provision of the landmark civil rights law that designates which parts of the country must have changes to their voting laws cleared by the federal government or in federal court.
The 5-4 ruling, authored by Chief Justice John Roberts and joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, ruled in Shelby County v. Holder that “things have changed dramatically” in the South in the nearly 50 years since the Voting Rights Act was signed in 1965.
The court’s opinion said it did not strike down the act of Congress “lightly,” and said it “took care to avoid ruling on the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act” in a separate case back in 2009. “Congress could have updated the coverage formula at that time, but did not do so. Its failure to act leaves us today with no choice but to declare [Section 4] unconstitutional. The formula in that section can no longer be used as a basis for subjecting jurisdictions to preclearance.” (more…)
Police in New Jersey are using nanny cam footage to track down a robbery suspect who punched and choked a suburban mom while her terrified 3-year-old daughter watched.
SEN. TED CRUZ (R-TX): We have seen this play before. It is reminiscent of Obamacare, yet another bill that we were told we’ve got to pass it to find out what’s in it. And, unfortunately, it seems, there are some republicans eager to go along with the democrats in the mad rush to pass this bill. In the 2007 immigration debate, close to 50 amendments were considered. In this debate, only nine have been debated. I introduced seven substantive amendments to improve this bill. Not a single one has been considered on the floor of the senate.
My point is very simple: what is the rush? Why are we proceeding gangbusters? And the only explanation that makes sense is there are many senators it seems in this body perhaps on both sides of the aisle that very much want a fig leaf. They want something that they can claim we are supporting border security when, in fact, this bill does not.
The first and most important difference is this amendment provides legalization first and then border security maybe at some time in the future. We have seen this before. In 1986 it was the same promise congress made, and we got the legalization, we got the amnesty and we never, ever, ever got border security. In contrast, the amendment I introduced reflects the will of the American people to have border security first and only then the possibility of legalization. (read more)

On the eve of the “real” first day of trial….. I’m afforded a particular liberty now, not 100% but still much more, than was available before.
So let’s take you with us a little on the journey per se:
Please understand that there are still so many aspects we must prudently keep from open disclosure – The “scraping” of the Tree House as a prosecution resource is, as it has been for the past year, a concern before keystrokes.
I’ve been more open lately (less filtered) with the M-DSPD aspects because quite frankly the hourglass sand has been disappearing rapidly as of late – All building toward this date.
After spending thousands of hours, and thousands of miles, on this journey I can say with relative confidence the “TRUTH” about Trayvon in Miami-Dade is far worse than even the most die-hard insider would grasp. (more…)
If you watched this epic morning session….
Then you’ll understand this motion filed by Don West
There is something deeply reflective of our nation’s troubles in this video. Witnessing career race-baiting instigator Al Sharpton talk to his protégé Benjamin Crump on MSNBC is like a trip through the looking glass with Alice.
Sharpton is the mentor for the next generation of grievance leadership. Crump is the protégé hand selected by Sharpton to carry the torch of racism and hate from coast to coast. All the while lining their pockets with extortion money from their Scheme Team endeavors.
“Everybody who protested on behalf of Trayvon Martin was very peaceful. All his parents have ever asked for is peaceful justice.”
Really?
