Carnival of Liberty #2
Here it is! The one, the only, the second Carnival of Liberty! We've got a good variety of various topics here. I tried to vaguely categorize them by main topic.
Law and Regulation:
Eric's Grumbles before the Grave sends us an article entitled Another Assault on Free Speech. It may be just me, but I can't see a way for someone who believes in a free citizenry to argue with this.
Resistance is futile checks in by telling us how counter-productive Oregon's proposal to require prescriptions for Sudafed is. I don't want to spoil the surprise. I feel like I'm looking at an old fashioned map with the legend "Here be Boneheads"
Mover Mike notes that U.S. Court of Appeals is Not Listening!
Trigger Finger sends in his piece entitled The Incumbent Protection Act is in full swing.... Alas, the Incumbent Protection Act seems to be one of the chief activities of any legislature!
Shamalama at Common Folk Using Common Sense talks about The Federal Election Commission and The Blogs. The FEC does seem to have focused it's energies on repealing the First Amendment of late, doesn't it?
Rhymes with Right fleshes out an issue with Kelo in Another Kelo Problem
Ogre's Politics and Views talks about Mooresville Zoning
Your host falls into line with Updated Parameters for Solving Kelo which includes a proposed real world solution to eminent domain abuse.
Policy:
Mark Nicodemo forwards a letter on High Morale Wins Wars
Politics:
I got a third party submission via email suggesting ar article from Catallarchy, telling libertarians to start Thinking Outside the Fringe. I really would like libertarians to have more influence, and this is one proposed way.
News, The Universe, and Everything sends An Open Letter to President Bush urging us to refocus upon what should be the Court's main priority.
Pamela at Atlas Shrugs honors us with a roundup type post on Too Lurid for Fiction: Tales of Horror from the Women Of Islam. If you happen to believe that women are human beings, reading this should give you all the reasons you need to support civilization against the terrorists, and then some.
Critical Mastiff brings in a post talking about Enlightened Self-Interest vs. Communal Responsibility, addressing the spirit of communal responsibility, as in "I've got a stake in this. I shouldn't let other people do my work."
Mr. Completely chimes in with Today's History Lesson
Theory:
Combs Spouts Off sends us a submission in determinism with Why the left blames us, with an attempted explanation of why some people feel the need to react to the threat with therapy.
Eric's Grumbles From The Grave has a worthwhile submission pondering our differences from the mainstream of political thought in I Feel Like I'm Stuck
The Chainik Hocker chimes in with a post on How the Supreme Court has gotten too powerful.
Unrepentant Individual discusses the idea of Peak Liberty, noting that we are less free than we once were.
Patriotism:
Mr. Completely chimes in with God Bless The U.S.A.
I got an email recommending State of Flux for his excellent post on I (Heart) America I don't think Minh Duc will mind me linking to it again! Examples like him are a demonstration of the reasons I support any reasonable level of legal, controlled immigration.
Next week's host: Eric's Grumbles Before the Grave Submissions to carnivalofliberty@gmail.com, use the carnival's submission form here
"Carnival Of Liberty can also be found at The Truth Laid Bear's ÃœberCarnival."

- Day by Day It is site policy to list the main page of every site I reference. Sometimes the real world intervenes and I haven't gotten to it yet, or one falls through the cracks on a long post with multiple references. It is also site policy to list the main page of every site that lists this one on their equivalent roll, as well as the main page of all sites that are members of any of the same groups this site is a member of. Please send me an email with a link to the main page of your site if I've overlooked you (dm at the domain name). For the clue-challenged, note that it is a requirement for your link to appear on every page of your site, just like mine does, and I will not link to spam sites.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
