Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.

TSA and Toddler Terror - Or Why I'm a Ron Paul Supporter
At the Chicago O'Hare Airport
I'll just note that NO OTHER presidential candidate has spoken out on the TSA. While Ron Paul has spoken against it time and again because he realizes that this is how it starts. Ignore him at your peril.
When one looks at the almost unanimous public detest for the TSA, it is a thing of wonder that all four of the Republican nominees are not making this an issue. I don't really expect them to do anything, but it is disturbing that they are not at least making empty promises.
What everyone said. Good God. I think it is because canceling DHS and TSA puts too many people out of work. Misdirected logic that put Rome out of business.

ReplyDeleteSo true Trestin, we don't even get fake outrage anymore. That must not be in their talking points memo.
DeleteI want to someone, anyone, talk about repealing the Patriot Act. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
ReplyDeleteThe liberty movement is your only source talking about the unconstitutional nature of the Patriot Act.

ReplyDeleteYes, it's a jobs program and that was definitely in their calculus when they drew it up. Kind of like public schooling is a huge jobs program.
