THE FOUNDERS OF THE USA WERE RADICALS. THEY WERE NEVER CONSERVATIVES NOR TRIBALISTS. YOU MIGHT BE A RESTORATIONIST BUT LIKELY YOU ARE NOT A CONSERVATIVE NOR TRIBALIST.

The founders were radicals. They weren't conservatives. 

The founders overthrew the conservatives — the King and the British loyalists. They established a radical, new form of governance, one based on republicanism and a union of sovereign states, a kind of government never tried anywhere by any people before.



The aim of radicalism is to destroy. The aim of conservatism is to preserve. The aim of true liberalism is to improve.

Progress means going from tribalism to individualism. It is the move away from communism in women and property to individual ownership of self, in things and in agreement with other individuals, from feudal arrangements to individuals voluntarily organizing around the trade of property in pursuit of profit.

Most Americans are free-capitalism progressives. They support the general political movement that has been ongoing since the British Enlightenment of the supremacy of the individual over the group.

They support buying and selling of goods and their own labor. Thus, they support markets. They support earning wages and thus they support how they get wages, the profitable efficiency achieved from capital. They support profits and the profit principle (see: CAPITALISM. BECAUSE WITHOUT IT, YOU WOULD BE LIVING AS A BARE SUBSISTENCE SAVAGE).

They support the right to start your own business and compete fairly without the help of government. And they support the primacy of the individual through ardent defense of the individual and his property (see: COMMERCIAL REALITY. A CRASH-COURSE IN UNDERSTANDING HOW IT ALL WORKS and THE THEORY OF TRADING PROPERTY FOR PROFIT).

That is what being a progressive truly means. Real progressives champion the individual and his property. Being progressive does not mean being hip or being a libertine.

And most Americans are restorationists. They want to revert to full adherence to the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution. Today's Americans are restorationists who want to enforce the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution in pursuit of limited politicians, enforced competition, self-rule and entrepreneuralism.

Restorationists are not conservatives. No authentic Bill of Rights American who believes in free-enterprise and the Protestant work ethic ever should want to help the Conservatives.

True conservatism means to maintain power typically derived from land ownership or monopoly or oligopoly franchise owing to laws and regulations. Conservatives seek to prevent change for themselves by discouraging every bit of competition.

Conservatives oppose true competition and defense of the individual and his property. Conservatives who tend to be the super-rich of the establishment seek to use laws and regulation to form oligopoly in markets and keep down the Middle Class (see: KILLING THE MIDDLE CLASS AND THE "WE WANT YOU TO BELIEVE CAPITAL GAINS INCOME IS DIFFERENT" TRICK).Conservatives are the champions of crony politics (see: IT'S ALWAYS CRONY POLITICS, CRONY GOVERNANCE AND CRONY REGULATORY CAPTURE and TRY CRONY POLITICS, CRONY GOVERNANCE AND CRONY REGULATORY CAPTURE BECAUSE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CRONY CAPITALISM.)

The propagandists of the Republican Party have been lying to Americans for decades. They have used hot button issues — gay marriage, abortion — to gain support of good Americans and in so doing, gain the political power needed to push a globalization internationalist agenda that runs opposed to the shop keepers, mechanics, subcontractors and restaurateurs of the USA, you know, middle-class, small-businessmen. Republicans have tricked Americans into getting their votes by saying they would argue against abortion and gay marriage. 

Notice, they never said they would stop these things. And they have not. Merely they have said they would argue against such things. 

Conservatives whether Blue Dog Democrats or Rockefeller Republicans have been defending open-borders internationalism globalization for 40 years and massive immigration for over 50 years. The internationalism agenda of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party of supporting massive immigration has been killing working-class Americans.

Conservatives fight to keep the existing state of affairs. The existing state of affairs is the ongoing subversion of the Constitution and the ongoing push for globalization. Republican conservatives are fighting to keep globalization going. 

Voting for conservatives rather than nationalists for the middle class is personal economic suicide for most Americans (see: AMERICANS ARE COMMITTING (ECONOMIC) SUICIDE DAILY WITH IPHONES AND IPADS).

Rockefeller Republicans and Bushian Republicans are True Conservatives. They stand opposed the American Middle Class and the Bill of Rights.

George Herbert Walker Bush and the GOP Establishment stopped The Reagan Revolution after Reagan's departure from the White House. GHW Bush was a Trojan Horse in the Reagan White House. GHW Bush turned control of the GOP back to the eastern establishment, center-left internationalists.

We have had 27 years of Bushism globalization and internationalism in the USA and that ideological stance has brought the USA to near ruins.

Republican conservatives are fighting to keep globalization going.  Forty-seven Republican conservatives voted yea for TPP/Fast track.  Many on the pro-TPP list also support illegal alien amnesty on the path to citizenship. They need to be voted out of office and replaced with Nationalists. 

Lisa Murkowski (AK), Dan Sullivan (AK), Jeff Flake (AZ), John McCain (AZ), John Boozman (AR), Tom Cotton (AR), Cory Gardner (CO), Marco Rubio (FL), John Isakson (GA), David Perdue (GA), Michael Crapo (ID), James Risch (ID), Mark Kirk (IL), Daniel Coats (IN), Joni Ernst (IA), Chuck Grassley (IA), Jerry Moran (KS), Pat Roberts (KS),  Mitch McConnell (KY), Bill Cassidy (LA), David Vitter (LA), Thad Cochran (MS), Roger Wicker (MS), Roy Blunt (MO), Steve Daines (MT), Deb Fischer (NE), Benjamin Sasse (NE), Dean Heller (NV), Kelly Ayotte (NH), Richard Burr (NC), Thom Tillis (NC), John Hoeven (ND), Rob Portman (OH), Jim Inhofe (OK), James Lankford (OK), Pat Toomey (PA), Lindsey Graham (SC), Tim Scott (SC), Mike Rounds (SD), John Thune (SD), Lamar Alexander (TN), John Cornyn (TX), Orrin Hatch (UT), Shelley Capito (WV), Ron Johnson (WI), John Barrasso (WY)

Here are the few Republican heroes who voted nay against TPP / Fast-track:

Jeff Sessions (AL), Richard Shelby (AL), Rand Paul (KY), Susan Collins (ME)

Ted Cruz (TX), Michael Enzi (WY).

It's too bad that the natural-born Canadian immigrant Ted Cruz seems like a constitutionalist except when it becomes inconvenient. Cruz is running for the Republican Party nomination for the presidency, but is ineligible as he was naturalized eight years after his birth. For more, see:

What does it tell you when the majority of Democrats voted to deny their own man Obama TPP/ Fast Track?

John McCain claims to be a conservative. Marco Rubio does. They voted for TPP/Fast Track. These people support amnesty for illegals. 

Paul Ryan claims to be a conservative. Ryan gave Obama the farm to fund sanctuary cities and importation of Mohammadan immigrants from Syria.

Rupert Murdoch claims to be a conservative and he funds major open-border initiatives.

Look at all of the horrible conservative rulings by the Supreme Court of the United States of America (SCUSA):

• Kelo v. New London 
• National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius 
• American Broadcasting Companies, Inc. v. Aereo, Inc
• King v. Burwell

Three of five SCUSA robes who ruled in the affirmative in Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469 (2005), were GOPher Party nominees — Justices John Paul Stevens (Ford appointee), Anthony Kennedy (Reagan appointee), David Souter (GHW Bush appointee), Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Clinton appointee) and Stephen Breyer (Clinton appointee). And Clinton was a Blue Dog (conservative) Democrat, in practicality, a Rockefeller Republican.

Kelo v New London lets big businessmen swipe property in land from small owners under the guise of improving municipal tax receipts.

Look at all of the horrible conservative reciprocal trade agreements with non-industrial countries, which only leads to the destruction of our own industry owing to wage differentials:

• Colombia
• Panama
• Mexico
• Chile
• Peru
• Morocco
• Jordan
• Costa Rica
• El Salvador
• Guatemala
• Honduras
• Nicaragua
• Dominican Republic

The Republican Party means center-left globalization party. They have not hid this fact since Goldwater lost to LBJ. They helped to pass LBJ's Great Society legislation. They helped to pass immigration reform in 1965, the law which has given us our current state of horrible affairs of too many immigrants.

Being tricked into getting your vote by claims of arguing against abortion and gay marriage doesn't make you a conservative. Unless you are get a paycheck from party headquarters, get an appointment to office or get laws passed to protect your business, you're not in the party. Merely you have been suckered into being a fan, a subscriber, like those fools with the Sierra Club and Greenpeace.

The Republican Party always have been internationalists. Here is point 14 from their party platform going all the way back to 1860, that is, before the Civil War:

That the Republican party is opposed to any change in our naturalization laws or any state legislation by which the rights of citizens hitherto accorded to immigrants from foreign lands shall be abridged or impaired; and in favor of giving a full and efficient protection to the rights of all classes of citizens, whether native or naturalized, both at home and abroad.

Now, there will be some who will get triggered by cognitive dissonance and want to argue for themselves as conservatives. They will err with the fallacy of appeal to authority by citing a dictionary definition. 

A dictionary is mere collection of usages whether those usages are right or wrong. Ask any dictionary editor.  As well, various dictionaries get written for estimated reading levels. 

American Thinker's own Selwyn Duke would agree with me. See what he had to say on the subject in Is Trump the First ‘European-conservative’ American Presidential Candidate?:

A prerequisite for grasping this is first understanding the true natures of liberalism and conservatism...While many have their own definitions of the latter -- and will stubbornly insist they’re correct -- the truth is that both political terms are provisional, meaning different things in different times and places. The term “conservative” in the 1970s referred to a communist in the USSR and someone staunchly anti-communist in the US... Liberalism is the process of inexorably trying to change the status quo; conservatism is the process of trying to preserve the status quo. Thus, what the terms represent will vary depending on the status quo in question."

The Russian communists fighting against the fall of the Soviet Union were conservatives. Yet, when Russian communists originally overthrew Czar Nicholas II, they were radicals.

The word conservative entered English from the Middle French conservatif in the late 1300s. The use of the word in politics traces to French disciples of Edmund Burke's opposition to the French Revolution and his call for clerical and political restoration in 1790. They called him "Le Conservateur."

By 1830 or so in Britain, conservative replaced the pejorative Tory as Tory was the name of a British political party first composed of Yorkist Tories of 1680. Tories were Irish Catholics who were dispossessed of their land and hence the label Tory, which means outlaw.

When the Democrats who controlled the 63rd United States Congress and the presidency in Woodrow Wilson established the Federal Reserve, they were radicals. Today, those who defend the Federal Reserve monetary system of 100% bank credit are conservatives. 

The Republican Party started out as radicals. They overthrew the slavery system of the South and caused a civil war over it. They were radicals when they overthrew the monetary system based on money and went with one based on greenbacks.

The Republican Party have ended up as conservatives. They are trying to preserve their 40 years of globalization and internationalism.

Free-capitalist progressive restorationists are those who believe in a limited role for government and a strict adherence to the constitution. Conservatives do not believe in these things.

The existing state of affairs is the ongoing subversion of the Constitution. Obama is a radical. Bernie Sanders is a radical.

Bernie and Obama are tribalists. Marxist / Socialists are tribalists. Tribalism is not a kind of liberalism nor a kind of progressivism. To better understand Obama, check out BEATING THE DRUMS FOR OBAMA TRIBALISM.

Hillary Clinton is a conservative. She wants to preserve the status quo of the globalists as her husband was a globalist. Ted Cruz is a conservative. So too are Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, John Kasich.

Either way, whether with Obama and Bernie, or Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Christie, or Kasich, any of those people will wreck the USA. Open-borders and international ruling boards that aren't elected by Americans will kill the USA.

To better understand what is happening, check out these:

✓ ARE BERNIE SANDERS AND DONALD TRUMP A SURPRISE OR ARE PUNDITS STUPID? THE SHAKE-UP OF USA POLITICS CONTINUES. ARE NEW PARTIES EMERGING?
✓ NO ORDINARY WHITE GUY COULD EVER HOPE TO WIN THE U.S. PRESIDENCY IN 2016 AND MAYBE NEVER AGAIN. THE GOP WILL BE OVER SOON ENOUGH.

We can have free trade deals with the Canadians, with the Australians and with the Kiwis, but we should never have free trade deals with low capital countries (see: SOPHIE'S CHOICE OF CAPITAL OR LABOR. A FREE-MARKETS LIBERTARIAN BECOMES AN ANTI-CAPITALIST AND PERPETUATES AN ECONOMICS MYTH). 

Americans must demand Congress to rescind all of the trade deals with countries not close to our own in terms of industrial development as measured by GDP per capita. In fact, tariffs should be levied high against such local capital countries. Free trade deals with countries like China and Mexico kill the return on capital in the USA and thus kill high-paying jobs in the USA. All wages come from capital. 

The big firms hate domestic competition. They love these trade deals with Third World countries. It kills domestic competitors.

To see the right tariff formula: WHY TRUMP IS WINNING. THE REST ARE INTERNATIONALIST SELLOUTS WHO STAND AGAINST WORKING-CLASS AMERICANS.

ALL GUN LAWS ARE ILLEGAL IN THE USA. DECODED: THE SECOND AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. KNOW THEIR DUTIES.

Here is the Second Amendment:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

And here is how to read it:

[T]he right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed [since] a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state [is made from the people, who are all individuals, voluntarily].

The second amendment is one of the first ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights. All of the Bill of Rights declare that the U.S. Government never can infringe upon aspects of being an individual, in short, the U.S. Government cannot tread over any of these personal rights.

The Bill of Rights limit what the agents of Congress can do and not what individuals can do. As I showed you in CASHING IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS. TRUTH, JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY, all of the Bill of Rights deals with the duties the then newly formed federal government had with respect to any individual.

The biggest failing in discourse over the Bill of Rights is the lack of talk emphasizing the duties of Congress and agents of government has to any American. It is quite clear what is meant by Congress shall make no law as we see in the opening salvo to protect any individual from an overreaching government.

All laws that infringe upon the right of any individual to keep and bear arms such as requiring permits of any kind are illegal and against the Constitution of the United States of America.

In jurisprudence, which is what we're talking about here, liberty means that realm where the law (politicians) is content to leave you alone. Where politicians make laws, there are duties and rights. Always, there can be no right without a corresponding duty and thus no duty without a corresponding right.

The Bill of Rights has nothing to do with the states in compact, which is what the rest of the Constitution details. The Bill of Rights has nothing to do with conferring rights to states.

Many phrases of every day English spell out the reality of limiting government while identifying some of the weightier aspects of being an individual. In all cases, the phrase the people means anyone, even you.

The Bill of Rights is chock full of these phrases that deal solely with any American individual. The Bill of Rights does not confer rights to groups nor does it impose duties upon individuals. Congress and the states alone have duties imposed by the Bill of Rights.

• the people to keep and bear Arms
• without the consent of the Owner
• The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects
• the persons or things to be seized
• No person shall be held to answer 
• nor shall any person be subject for
• nor shall be compelled 
• nor shall private property be taken 
• the accused shall enjoy 
• to be informed of the nature and cause 
• to be confronted with 
• to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
• the right of trial by jury shall be preserved
• Excessive bail shall not be required
• retained by the people
• or to the people

THE MYTH OF TAXPAYER MONEY. IT'S CONGRESS' GREEN, NOT YOURS.

One of the stupider expressions the mindless parrot goes something like this, "The government shouldn't spend millions of taxpayer money on ...".

First, no one has money. Money is coined metal by weight and fineness. Money hasn't existed for decades upon decades. Money, if it were to exist, could exist without banks and legislators.

What everyone has is cash and bank credits. Those who have bank credits can transfer such with negotiable instruments other than cash. Cash itself is nothing more than bank credits circulating in perpetuity.

Cash can exist only with banking. Cash decreed legal tender can only exist with legislators and their agents.


Second, taxpayers don't have property (right of ownership) in anything designated as taxes. In short, it's Congress' cash and bank credit.

Where there is law, there must be duty and right. There can be no duty without right and no right without duty. Without both, there is no law.

The absence of law in the presence of legislators with agency is known as freedom and also known as liberty. Where there is an absence of law and an absence of legislators with agency, which is what most name as government, there is anarchy.

In America, Congress gave itself the right to tax income of Americans. It imposed the duty upon some Americans to pay taxes.

At first, Congress imposed strict limitation in the way in which it could levy taxes.  However, with the 16th Amendment, Congress lifted all restriction it had with respect to taxing income. Now, Congress can impose any taxes without the need of apportionment according to population of the various states.

For those muttonheads who complain, rightly, they should say something like this:

No one should be forced to pay taxes so Congress can spend it on such a waste.

Until Americans awaken to reality and force politicians to pass amendment that limits the sum of taxes any American must pay each year, say a total of 12% to whatever legislators, whether Congress, any state or any county, nothing shall change. In short, there should be a known maximum sum any should be forced to surrender to all legislators. Let the states' legislators and Congresses fight it out from a highly restricted pool of potential taxes.

It makes it oh so easy for legislators because they have trained you to believe it's "your money." In so doing, legislators have conditioned you to pay gobs of taxes willingly while tricking you into believing you have a voice in how the collected taxes get spent.

You don't. You have no say precisely because you lack right in cash and credit taken from you in the form taxes.

You have no right in any cash or credit in which Congress has property unless Congress imposes duty upon itself and grants you right. That is what Congress does with welfare programs like Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.

Legislators have the rights to part of your income, which they call taxes. You have the duty to pay them in a manner in which they order you to do so.

AMERICANS LIVING IN FOREIGN LANDS SHOULD TELL CONGRESS TO FACTA-OFF.

So today, Dylan Griffiths of Bloomberg reported  the number of Americans renouncing U.S. citizenship stayed near an all-time high in the first half of 2014 before FACTA rules came into force. Between January and June, 1,577 once U.S. citizens renounced their citizenship to U.S. embassy officials.



Since July 1, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act has been in full effect. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act decrees that U.S. citizens who live outside the USA to report their financial accounts held outside the USA to the IRS on behalf of Congress. Bizarrely, the law also requires foreign financial institutions to report to the IRS about their customers who are U.S. citizens.

NO ONE who earns income outside the borders of the fifty states which comprise the USA should pay taxes to the U.S. Congress. No one.

Disgustingly, Congress believes they are owed an unearned share of profits of U.S. citizens living elsewhere in other countries like Canada and Australia. It's neither moral nor legally justifiable for Congress to demand taxes from anyone earning income outside the USA. Greedy Congress "men" yearn for this undeserved tax revenue so they can increase the balance owed on their giant-sized Congressional debt credit card, wrongly parroted by most as the "national debt" or "federal debt".

When the authors of the second constitution wrote rules giving Congress the capacity, authority and thus power to lay and collect taxes, those authors wrote their taxation design in Article 1, sections 2, 8 and 9. Enough of the delegates from the various states ratified the constitution enshrining that power into law.

In Article I, Section 2, the authors wrote,

"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."

Specifically, Article 1, Section 8 states,

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"

In Article I, Section 9, the authors wrote,

"No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census of Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."

and

"No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State."

So the authors' made explicit their design:

1. Direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states.
2. The congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes.
3. Direct taxes shall be apportioned by the results of the census.
4. No export taxes of any kind.

By apportionment, the ratifiers agreed that Congress would be restricted to collecting direct taxes, such as an income tax, based on the percentage of each states' population to the total for the USA. So, if New Yorkers had 10% of the population of the USA, and if Congress levied an income tax, New Yorkers had to pay 10% of all income taxes laid by Congress.

In effect, apportionment acted as a block against Congresses from levying income taxes.  Later, after the 1895 U.S. Supreme Court declared a  federal income tax unconstitutional because it violated this rule of apportionment in Pollock v. Farmer’s Loan & Trust, another Congress decided that apportionment acted as shackles against them, so they passed the 16th Amendment, in which they wrote,

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

Interestingly, before the 16th amendment, the Constitution had no mention of income.

Samuel Johnson, the devout Anglican lexicographer first published his A Dictionary of the English Language in 1755. Looking at the third edition, published in 1768 before the writing of the second constitution as well as the tenth edition published in 1792 soon after the writing of the second constitution, we can come to see how the founders thought of income.

Both th 1768 edition and the 1792 edition have revenue and income as synonyms, having an head entries for each word, revenue and income. Both words meant annual profits received from lands or other funds as well as the produce of anything.

Both th 1768 edition and the 1792 edition have revenue as a synonym for the head entry rent, specifcally defining the word rent as annual payment; the money paid for anything held of another.

Both th 1768 edition and the 1792 edition have definition for produce. Produce meant  product; that which yields or brings. The secondary definition for produce is amount; profit; gain; emergent sum or quantity.

Both the 1768 edition and the 1792 edition have definition for yield. Yield meant to produce; to give in return for cultivation or labor.

So those who drafted and ratified the second constitution had in mind earnings from land whether crop sales or rent, as well as interest from loans as the source of taxes. Never did the so-called founders or framers envision taxing anyone's labor income.

After 1895, Congress demonstrated by action they needed to define income as more than rent and interest, hence, this is why the 16th amendment includes the phrase "from whatever source." Further Congress demonstrated the need to rid itself of the pesky apportionment rule, hence the phrase, "without apportionment among the several States."

Yet, it is quite clear that in the second constitution, the ratifiers authorized taxation only with respect to the states and the Congress which drafted the 16th failed to expand taxation beyond states.

Thus, IRS rules regarding taxation of Americans as U.S. citizens living outside the USA and FACTA are quite unconstitutional. In short, Congress lacks authority to levy taxes upon anyone outside the territory of the USA and specifically the states.

If Congress had that authority, the Constitution would contain something along the lines of what would be construed as absurdity by everyone, e.g.,

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, without regard to any census or enumeration, without regard to citizenship or domicile, upon anyone living the earth over.

Congress needs a geography lesson. No one living in the 193 U.N. member countries, nor living in the 206 sovereign countries, nor those living in the U.S. possessions of American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as the free association countries of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau owes Congress a penny, much less a dime.

There is no constitutional basis for Congress to claim the right of taxation neither on U.S. citizens living outside the USA nor upon foreigners wherever they live the earth over, except within the boundaries of the actual fifty states that constitute the USA.

That successive Congresses are so brazen to seek taxes from U.S. citizens earning income abroad and that many idiotic Americans support them in their Ahab quest shows the world how far Americans have fallen. Americans have wandered far from the path of the right way.

WHEN THE BULLIED BECOMES THE BULLY. IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY.

Back in April, retired NBA worldwide mega-star Shaquille O’Neal took to Instagram to mock Jahmel Binion who suffers from ectodermal dysplasia. Now, Binion has filed a defamation lawsuit against O'Neal seeking $25,000 in damages.

Two wrongs don't make a right, ever. The irony shouldn't be lost on anyone that Binion now has become the bully through his lawsuit. Suing anyone because what that one says and then soliciting support of tens of thousands of morons suffering from hyper-indoctrination amounts to bullying. Trying to stifle anyone amounts to bullying.

Binion's lawsuit behavior is uglier than his looks. If Binion wants to live the right way, he should have said he feels sorry for Shaq's expressed ugliness, an ugliness far worse than Binion's genetic deformity.

However tough Binion's life must be, he doesn't have a legal leg to stand upon. A better lawyer will frame it as distasteful First Amendment expression.

Our founders were right to give us the First Amendment. Anyone is free (at liberty, Congress cannot make any law) to express oneself in public in any manner, about anything. That is what the First Amendment is about.

Shaq pulled a bonehead move (celebs should quit social media), and however distasteful, not only Shaq but all of us are free to do the same with public material.

Shaq should fight him to the fullest and then donate ten times the sum sought to the NGO which seeks a cure to this genetic disorder.
