Doesn’t Sound Like a Democrat…

“The Constitution is a GLORIOUS LIBERTY DOCUMENT.” These words were delivered by a former slave. The all-caps emphasis was his. In an 1852 speech entitled What to the Slave is the Fourth of July the inimitable Frederick Douglass called out the evil of slavery while praising an undeniable instrument of liberation: the U.S. Constitution.

We’re the Only Ones Monstrous Enough

Authorities said Bryant lived near the area where Morales was reported missing and alleged that he “dumped her naked body in the woods,” WAGA and WXIA reported, citing a warrant application.
