8th Amendment

By Ted Dunlap, on May 18th, 2012

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

The biggest threat to the American people today lies with the United States government. … [T]he long-term solution is to dismantle, not reform, the iron fist of the welfare state and the controlled economy. This includes the end (not the reform) of the IRS, the DEA, the BATF, the SEC, the FDA, HUD, the departments of HHS, Labor, Agriculture, and energy, and every other agency that takes money from some and gives it to others or interferes with peaceful behavior.
