Creatively sighted RINOs
This week's RINO Sightings Carnival has been posted by super blogger John Cole. John says he doesn't have creative bone in his body, but that didn't stop him from posting a couple of RINO pictures, which are not only artistic, but which might be considered, well, sexy. (I mean, to another, er, RINO... But is that second RINO wearing white lace panties, or I am seeing a mirage? RINOs are supposed to have bad eyesight, of course. Is John being more creative than he admits, or am I a blind RINO seeing things that aren't there?) All the posts are excellent, and here are a few favorites: If you're a RINO, or thinking about becoming a RINO (or if you're merely RINO curious), be sure to check the rest out! posted by Eric on 08.15.05 at 12:58 PM |

Excellent posts in that "carnival". I agree completely with you on shooting war criminals, as our noble soldiers did to the SS murderers at Dachau. Just.
Yes, there is a right to privacy or "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects" (Fourth Amendment), And then there is the Third Amendment, which was put in there for the same reason. And, of course, the Ninth Amendment. The right to privacy is a logical consequence of the explicitly stated rights to liberty and property. Commenters in that thread are absolutely right that the Constitution was written to grant certain clearly stated and stringently limited powers to the government, and leave everything else up to the individual. Our rights are God-given, not given by government.
The word "privacy" is not written in the Constitution because, at the time of our Founding Fathers, it usually referred to certain things pertaining to one's "privies". When my brother and I visited Philidelphia in the early 1990s, we visited George Washington's "privy pit". Whatever King George III did, he at least wasn't regulating that particular activity, nor did anybody accuse him of plotting to do so, so the Founders left it out of the Constitution. The Constitution was written as a legal document, not a de Sade novel.
Michael Demmons is absolutely right, of course. I have the right to smoke or nor on my own property and to allow or not allow smoking on my own property. I have the right to boot socialists off my property, too.
Tragic that Eleanor Clift is so sexy, and yet every word that comes out of her mouth, including "and" and "the" is so damn stupid.
