"Freedom’s not absolute. What rights in the Constitution are absolute? There is no right to absolute freedom."
Hello?
Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of people to assemble ARE absolute, unalienable rights.
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated"
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

THANK YOU, Marguerite! I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that Santorum had actually said such a misguided thing.
The more I find out about Santorum, the leerier I get. And sadly, it's disillusioned me with regard to The Great One Mark Levin and also Rush -- they are so enthusiastic about minimum-wage-loving Santorum (though both have railed against the minimum wage), and I have to wonder, if they're that misinformed or that willing to overlook some pretty profound flaws, what does it say for the rest of their credibility? It's really sad to watch.
Yeah, we could do worse than Santorum. But I URGE folks to go to Santorum's website and read all of his policy positions and proposals, and then go to Newt Gingrich's website and read all of his policy positions and proposals.
We could do worse than Santorum. But we could do a LOT BETTER than Santorum.
Godspeed Newt Gingrich.
Freedom of speach is not absolute, rather it is limited. The speaker does not have the right to force anyone to listen. The right is limited by the rights of private property. The union / abortionist / muslim or other group does not have the right to come into your house and make you hear their propaganda.
Freedom of assembly is not absolute, rather it is limited. Even the Constitution places the limit of “peaceable”. People do not have the right to form a mob and go around rioting.
The right of the people to be secure in the their papers ....(etc) is limited by the use of the warrent.
