Fittingly for Obama his nominee says 'too much freedom is bad'

Central to Brennan’s presentation was a relativist view of human rights, which he said include “security, welfare, liberty, and justice.”
“These four rights reflect not only my own moral concept of human rights [but] also my interpretation of the Western human rights perspective,” Brennan wrote in his introduction.
“I don’t feel that the possible forfeiture of rights under certain circumstances precludes their inalienability.”
And once forfeited, if you don't get them back it's all for the social good, I suppose.


Remington, get out.  New Effing York will squeeze all the taxes out of you they can, and when they figure they can get away with it they'll put you out of business; come to Oklahoma.  Or Texas, or somewhere(I prefer OK), but get the hell out of the People's Republic of NY.


In case you didn't know, Ruger put together a tool to make it easier to yell at your congresscritter; it's here.


Dear Mr. Sullum:
Hell no, we don't.
Sincerely, etc.

Well, that's not actually controversial, in and of itself.

I mean, we don't tend to think a (violent) felon forfeiting his right to bear arms is a Problem, right?

Trouble is, he's not talking about that; he's decided that "If it causes a problem, your rights can be forfeited, at least for the duration of the 'crisis'."
And I do not trust these people to see such a 'temporary', when they see some advantage to "The crisis has been worse than first expected" or something.
