Freedom is always worth celebrating.

Can you perceive any difference between freedom and license? No court in the land is in the "freedom-granting" business. Freedom, liberty, is not theirs to "dispense." (Neither does the Constitution dispense it; it merely tries to preserve it by keeping government functionaries and judges off the people's backs.) But courts and legisslatures can grant "license." But that's the cheap counterfeit of the genuine article, and basically only fit for slaves-by-nature, who wouldn't know true freedom if it bit them in the butt.

Kindly take a moment to contemplate my tag line and see if it makes any sense to you.

As far as the so-called culture war is concerned, not only is it not over; it has hardly been joined -- yet. Stay tuned....

You mean the made up concept used by Ayatollahs to squelch debate?
Who owns my body? ME OR THE GOVERNMENT?

Pick one and only one answer.
