Fifteen year’s in a North Korean prison with hard labor is the future for American tourist, Otto Warmbier, the 21-year-old University of Virginia undergrad, convicted of subversion. The trial in the North Korean Supreme Court only took an hour to convict and sentence.
The college student was first tried in the media, where he was forced to confess, through tears, that he had attempted to steal a banner. The North Korean government said he committed “an anti-state crime with ‘the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation,'” yet it is difficult to see how the United States was connected with this petty crime.
Warmbeir begged for forgiveness for this alleged ‘hostile act’, saying that his attempted theft was to bring home a trophy from the hotel in which he was staying. Yanggakdo International Hotel, like many hotels in North Korea has areas off-limits to foreigners. It was in this part of the hotel that Warmbeir attempted to lift the banner.

If you give government the power over your environment, Healthcare or anything else then you give up rights. States rights were created to stop the Federal government from taking over and taking rights away. There is nothing wrong with the constitution if it is used in the way it was intended the problem is corruption in our government has been so bad for so many years that they have been ignoring the constitution. The constitution was meant to stop corporatism and socialism/communism but there has been to much corruption! Flat tax is a good idea to get rid of the IRS, we have to many Federal agencies and they are being used to oppress the citizens! People need to keep their rights, they need to be free as possible to choose! Right now the choices don’t look good to me on either side! I like most of what you say Josh I just think the government should be limited just like the constitution says!
