Neither left nor right nor center: this an alternative to mainstream hyper partisan politics that rejects ideological tribalism and purity tests in favor of common goals and moral principles. The main areas of concern here are our constitutional rights and economic freedom, but other political and philosophical topics are explored.

The Latest Police State Extortion Racket: Imposing 'Booking Fees' on the Exonerated
Several counties in Kentucky and Colorado impose a booking fee on people held in their jails even if they are not convicted. The Colorado law specifically requires claimants to file a separate suit and prove they are innocent of the crime they have been exonerated of, the exact opposite of what criminal law is based on. It is a basic axiom of logic that the burden of proof falls on the individual, or in this case, government making a claim; the person denying the claim, that they are guilty of a certain crime, is never obliged to prove a negative. When the police begin to resemble the same criminals they were employed to apprehend, logic and semantics is turned on its head; slavery becomes freedom, war becomes peace, and 2 plus 2 becomes equal to 5. In the U.S. the police have become so criminal that they even break the laws of logic.
