Stupid Sticker Bullshit

Doug author of the Below the Beltway blog summs up the stupidity of the "sticker" tax. Why do i need to pay 25 dollars to put a sticker on my car? Because if I don't I will get a fine or arrested. So it allows access into the landfill? What if i don't want to use the landfill? I'm not even arguing the car tax (personal property tax) this is in addition to that. So i can pay the tax they charge for the car and still get arrested over a sticker? What if i think it looks ugly. Do people ever ask why? Guess not.

Largest Immigration Raid in US History

400+ workers taken from their families and detained and possibly deported as they sit in limbo. What was their offense? Not being born here. Because I was born on a certain plot of land 1,000 miles north of someone else means only I am allowed to work inbetween so called border lines? Makes no sense to me. Freedom is being able to work for who you want and being able to fire who you want. Not be thrown in a jail with guns branished and helicopters flying above. Does anyone agree with this? At least one lady was allowed to go home but is being tracked like cattle

"Silvia Ruiz was among 40 of those arrested and released with electronic ankle bracelets, in order for them to care for their children".

The only solution, freedom of course and more open borders.

Give Them Their Kids Back

I know this story has been all over the news for a couple weeks but i'm just posting about it now because the mother's still haven't gotten their kids back. It's so sad how they have to beg to the governer about it also. I totally agree with Ben Stein on this one. Do you think the government should be able to take peoples kids without trial? I thought everyone was innocent till proven guilty? Protected from false accusations? How does one alleged voicemail of sex abuse = 400+ kids gone?
