Today, December 15, is Bill of Rights day. Let’s examine the amendments:
- Free speech – FCC, libel laws
- Bear arms – federal regulation on guns
- No quartering – maybe the only one being followed
- No unreasonable search – “PATRIOT” Act
- Due process – “PATRIOT” Act again
- Speedy trial – Gitmo
- Civil trial by jury – Gitmo
- No cruel punishment – Gitmo
- Rights not enumerated – most laws violate this
- Powers of States and people – ditto
Happy Bill of Rights Day!

NPR only has a slant when you disagree with them. Can you point out any factual errors in the piece?
On the times I have listened to topics on NPR, they have leaned to the left…. it’s not that I disagree with them…. it’s that they’ve been consistent in that lean.
That being said, I don’t have a problem with the facts themselves, but what are those facts trying to “prove”?

You said waterboarding isn’t torture. Those that experienced it differ in opinion. In reply you then dispute the source.
Here is a extremely right wing radio jockey being waterboarded to show it isn’t torture. Watch the video and see if he thinks it is fun.
