Hi - this is Dr. Carl with today's candid conservative minute...

A founding tenet of America's Constitution is the rule of law.  This governance model relies on just laws and accountability to uphold the common good.  Rule by law sounds similar; but it rests on rules passed to enforce special agendas and the good of the powerful.  Rule by law was recently demonstrated in the vote by Supreme Justices Ginsburg, Stevens, Breyer, and Sotomayor in support of Chicago's gun ban as they cited public safety and states' rights as their motivation.  Hypocrisy abounds in the long and strong liberal history of trampling over both in supporting federal authority on abortion, school prayer, revolving door jails, and other selective special interests.  Chicago's Mayor Daley immediately pressed a new law prohibiting owners from having more than one handgun or taking that weapon on their porch.  City leaders voiced fury that the Supreme Court's majority would put more guns in the hands of people - thus taking the position that it is OK for police and criminals to have self-protection, but not honest citizens.  Offering another glaring example of rule by law versus rule of law.

I'm Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative...
