It's not surprising he left out some of the other rights that we consider so important. As far as he and his ilk (G. Dubyah and friends), these rights are on a worthless piece of paper that gets in the way. That nasty 4th amendment doesn't help stop terrorist, so it must be ignored!
The right to speak.
The right to gather peacefully.
The right to be secure from unreasonable searches.
The right to an impartial trial.
The right to vote.
The right to an education.
Anyone who gets ANYTHING from the government (heating assistance, etc) has to give up all those rights according to retire_rich and his astrotufing pals.
C'mon. It's quite obvious they've stucked on some smalltown way of thinking - I've heard these nutcase 'arguments' many times when I traveled around the country.
Economical geniuses.
