The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Wrong !!! look at the outstreched arms ,, I usually would use his mellon as a guage, but not here . I'd say his fist is about 5" across,,. Why don't you insult him more and find out ...

Thirty four inches long and 14# 8 fins and 6 and one half stripes. The fish was caught on a blue/white 2oz swimmer at the end of the drop, you where casting into the wind where a small rip forms in such and such a place.

I think 37". Tip of nose to end of outstreched arm.
