Thread: Philadelphia Phreedom/End the Fed Rally

I went down to Philly to document the proceedings.

That is Congressman Ron Paul, speaking to a surprisingly large crowd of supporters on the extremely wet lawn of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the day before today’s Republican presidential primary. The site where this nation’s founding charter was drafted was an apt forum for a candidate whose entire campaign is based upon a return to Constitutional, i.e. limited, government. As it turned out, the city of Philadelphia provided the perfect venue for illustrating the chasm between the country conceived by the nation’s founders-whose powers were circumscribed and few, and chiefly designed to ensure the protection of personal liberties-and the nation in which we currently live, whose government endorses the confiscation of private property KELO V.

The diminution of traditionally enjoyed freedoms was illuminated by my friends’ encounter with a security guard policing the Federal Detention Center of Philadelphia. As they began to snap a photo in front of the building-an activity universal to out of towners-they were admonished not to take pictures, lest they have their cameras and recording devices seized. Although taking photographs of federal buildings is a perfectly legitimate, legal activity-news that hasn’t reached the City of Brotherly Love, evidently-we were told that we couldn’t take any pictures in that vicinity. When asked why this activity was prohibited, we were told it was because of “terrorism” concerns, which engendered a five minute-long argument that resembled a scene from Family Guy.
