What Happened to Our Civil Liberties?

Posted on February 16th, 2008 by vicezilla

Taxes, healthcare and the economy seem to be the only subjects the Presidential nomination candidates are talking about. Sure they are important subjects, but nothing new for us to hear, as we hear the same old tired rhetoric all the time during election years. “Vote for me and I”ll fix the economy,” “Vote for me and I’ll lower your taxes,” etcetera etcetera.

How about some real substance to the campaign promises? How about restoring the Constitution from the skid marks left by the Bush Administration? Habeas Corpus, the Fourth Amendment, Civil Liberties, these are important issues which must be addressed, but never seem to come up in the campaign speeches. Anybody who addresses these issues as a high priority to be fixed when they are President will get my vote, but sadly the serious contenders so far have remained silent on these important issues. Why?

All one has to do is watch this video of a woman being strip searched and abused by deputies of the Stark County Sheriff’s Department to remind oneself that our civil liberties are quietly being taken away from us.
