Bob Marshall reminded us yet again today that our constitutional rights end where his insecurities and bigoted attitudes begin.
Bob’s flimsy, state-based legal challenge to Congress’ inspired (if long overdue) reversal of DADT should remind us once again that his goal in applying the latest tenet of Marshall Law is to make sure that we can have our personal freedoms, as long we look, act, and think like Bob. The government should stay out of our lives, unless Bob disapproves of them. In which case, no document is sacred.
Though it’s easy to see through the cheap political ploy behind his argument, he also completely ignores the critical fact that, in addition to Congress and a majority of the American public, the people in position to make the best judgment on DADT’s reversal on our military strategy–the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and our ground commanders–also support it. But, why let facts get in the way of scare tactics.
As Bob continues his crusade of cruelness, Loudouners continue to receive but a fraction of the money we send to Richmond each year. And, as this article from last week’s Leesburg Today shows, Bob has no intentions of applying the same creativity that he uses to rob people of their personal freedoms to fix our transportation issues again this year.
Ending Marshall Law is what has motivated me to declare my candidacy for the the House of Delegates in the 13th district in 2011. I need your help! You can follow my campaign by following me on Twitter @MikeKforVA. You can donate here.
