It's Tough Out There for a Pimp

Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

August 29, 2011

The Fifth Amendment dictates that government may not deprive any individual of his property ?without due process of law?; in other words, one has to be convicted of a crime before the state can impose a punishment. At least that?s how things were intended to operate in the old constitutional republic. The degenerate corporate socialist state ruling us today operates on radically different assumptions.

Like many other officials in the American Soyuz, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn embraces the approach of Vladimir Lenin?s Bolsheviks, rather than following the principles of the Framers of the Constitution. He is driving a customized high-end SUV confiscated from Charles Melvin Fox, who is accused of running a prostitution ring.
Buckhorn selected his pimped-out ride from a ?forfeiture fleet? ? that is, a large collection of autos stolen by police from people either accused of crimes or associated with them ? but not yet convicted in court.

Buckhorn insists that the SUV was seized from ?someone engaged in criminal activity.? That may or may not be true of Charles Fox. It is unambiguously true of Buckhorn, who ? as a politician ? belongs to a class of criminals more loathsome than pimps or prostitutes.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
