Shutting Down Free Speech

There is a real danger when the government attempts to direct and control political speech and since Richard Nixon no American President until has taken as many steps towards control as Obama.  Clearly he is thin-skinned to criticism of his policies and politics and his reaction to, and disdain for, speech that opposes him is alarming.  Presidents have to get used to the heat of the kitchen or, as President Harry Truman said, "get out!"

As we are a nation of freedoms, President Obama should listen to President Truman.

WSJ: ‘Draw Mohammed Day’ Equals…Flag Burning?

WSJ: 'Draw Mohammed Day'; Equals...Flag Burning?

A different view of the controversy surrounding South Park and "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day."

The question isn't about insulting all Muslims. It's about Muslims attempting to censure the rest of the world by forcing them to comply with their own religious beliefs or suffer physical attack.

I think you know the answer as to how that is received by most Americans. I say "most" because there are those liberal-progressive-socialists on the left, Ahhnold called them "girly-men" (probably his only real contribution in the last few years), that would willingly submit and assume the position of dhimmi rather than stand-up for what is right. Islamo-fascists count on people, girly-men, fearing attack. It's how they enforce the rules and they can't understand it when someone doesn't back down and submit.

Court ruling strips FCC of power and hands Congress a tough task - The Hill's Hillicon Valley

Court ruling strips FCC of power and hands Congress a tough task - The Hill's Hillicon Valley

This was something that was watched with great interest considering the efforts of the Obama Regime to insert unelected czars at key places in the government to help in achieving their ultimate goal of transforming our nation from a Republic of free citizens to a state-controlled, socialist state. The court ruled properly in this case but We the People must exert the power of the ballot box this coming November in order to ensure that our Republic is preserved.

The Folly of the Current Congress

"We've gone from passing bills without reading them to passing bills without voting on them." - Senator John Thune  

It is my understanding that this was first written by Texas blogger Kathleen McKinley last week then Tweeted by Sen. Thune today.  It is an absolutely perfect statement as so very, very true.  It comes at a time when the Congress and the President are trying to dictate to, rather than serve, the American people.

FOXNews.com - Senate Staffers Warned to Stay Clear of Drudge Report

Does anyone else out there think that this is more politically motivated than anything else?  I've never caught a virus from the Drudge Report several times a day.  What could actually be motivating this move to limit free speech?

Perhaps the "virus" that the people in the Senate and the Senators themselves are catching is a severe allergy to the tactics of Harry Reid and President Obama.  That would explain everything.

Bozell Column: Tim Tebow Takes a Stand | NewsBusters.org

My wife is rightly proud that Tim Tebow's mother is a Filipina and stated flatly that Tim's mother made the only choice possible. On my side, I am very impressed that Tim Tebow doesn't bow to the pressure of the liberal-progressive-socialists and subscribe to their worldview. He is clearly his own man and, like his mother, true to his Christian faith. That drives the Left Stream Media and the liberal-progressive-socialist elite into an absolute frenzy for the one thing that they cannot handle is the truth. All they can do is make snide, barely disguised remarks about his maturity and slink around in the shadows for their minds are hidden is some deep, dark place that is known only to them.

I, for one, would be happy if my two remaining single daughters some day brought home young men with the character of a Tim Tebow for it's not his amazing athletic ability but his character that is most impressive.

New MRC Report: How the Networks (and Even Newspapers) Spiked or Skimped on Damaging New Media Scoops | NewsBusters.org

That the Left Stream Media is in the tank for Obama is not a surprise to anyone except, possibly, the far-left wing of the liberal-progressive-socialist Democrat Party. The media no longer serves the people but their own political cause.

That is, of course, their right. Amendment I guarantees that and since the birth of our nation it has been part and parcel of the political scene that each side would utilize their own newspapers to advance their own political cause. This becomes objectionable only when the government steps in and tries to institute a "Fairness Doctrine" under the guise of "diversity" which limits the people's choice as to which message they would rather read or listen.

Tea Party Crashers

Tea Party Crashers

It never ceases to amaze me how the media decries any exercise of freedom with which it does not agree. The Main Stream Media is actually so far removed from the main stream of American life that they should be renamed the Left Stream Media.   Hmmmm...that's a good idea.  From now on I will refer to them as the Left Stream Media.  It's a much more accurate description of their beliefs and efforts.

How the court's campaign finance ruling hurts Wall Street favorite Chuck Schumer | Washington Examiner

How the court's campaign finance ruling hurts Wall Street favorite Chuck Schumer | Washington Examiner

Free speech, especially when it comes to free political speech, is extremely important in a democracy and is guaranteed by our Constitution. It's important to us as individuals, as political groups and as advocacy groups. I support it and enjoy it as it makes it so much easier to spot the idiots. Chuck Schumer is one such.  Schumer, like many liberal-progressive-socialists, loves to demonize corporations as evil--demonization is a favorite tactic of the left--but, as the linked article shows, is certainly able and willing to take campaign money from them.
