Scott Walker's</a> victory in the recent <a href="http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012206050428" target="_blank">Wisconsin recall election</a>, if it weren't so pathetic:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hiHsHLDYJIc?rel=0" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Allow us to point out a few key truths about "America as we know it," which this young man's <a href="http://teachersunionexposed.com/" target="_blank">unionized teachers</a> apparently overlooked during his school years:<br />
<ul>
<li>Our <a href="http://www.foundingfathers.info/" target="_blank">Founders</a>, in writing the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html" target="_blank">United States Constitution</a>, actually created a <a href="http://lexrex.com/enlightened/AmericanIdeal/aspects/demrep.html" target="_blank">representative republic</a>. Our national government is not, and never has been, a <a href="http://www.1215.org/lawnotes/lawnotes/repvsdem.htm" target="_blank">democracy</a>. </li>
<li>Thomas Jefferson famously <a href="http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/democracy-nothing-more-mob-rule" target="_blank">expressed his disdain for democracy</a>: "Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49."</li>
<li>The <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am17" target="_blank">17th Amendment</a> discarded the <a href="http://www.foundingfathers.info/" target="_blank">Founders</a>' wisdom of having state legislatures elect US Senators, in favor of direct elections. This has proven to be an unwise step toward democracy.</li>
<li>The United States, as most Americans know it, is <u>not</u> a statist society where the government knows best and controls all. A better example of this would be the <a href="http://history.howstuffworks.com/asian-history/union-of-soviet-socialist-republics4.htm" target="_blank">USSR</a> - a fine example of how socialism and communism always fail. The United States, by contrast, is a place where liberty and freedom exist, including rights to free speech, association, and religion. Or at least they did, before <a href="http://spectator.org/blog/2012/01/05/obama-the-tyrant-must-be-stopp" target="_blank">Barack Hussein Obama</a> became President.</li>
<li>The Federal government is actually prohibited by our founding documents from encroaching upon our God-given rights. The <a href="http://the%20powers%20not%20delegated%20to%20the%20united%20states%20by%20the%20constitution,%20nor%20prohibited%20by%20it%20to%20the%20states,%20are%20reserved%20to%20the%20states%20respectively,%20or%20to%20the%20people./" target="_blank">10th Amendment</a> clearly prohibits the Federal government from doing about 95% of what it is involved in today.</li>
</ul>
We could go on. But until uneducated, easily-misled citizens grasp the truth about the nature of this "grand experiment" called the United States of America, they will continue to cry in the streets, desperate for their imagined utopia.<br />

Especially your online speech:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L5EixDJ25Lc?rel=0" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Cooksey explains:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Can the government throw you in jail for offering advice on the Internet about what food people should buy at the grocery store?<br />
<br />
That is exactly the claim made by the <a href="http://www.ncbdn.org/" target="_blank">North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition</a>. In December 2011, diabetic blogger <a href="http://www.diabetes-warrior.net/" target="_blank">Steve Cooksey</a> started a Dear Abby-style advice column on his popular blog (<a href="http://www.diabetes-warrior.net/">http://www.diabetes-warrior.net/</a>) to answer reader questions. One month later, the State Board informed Steve that he could not give readers advice on diet, whether for free or for compensation, because doing so constituted the unlicensed, and thus criminal, practice of dietetics. The State Board also told Steve that his private emails and telephone calls with readers and friends were illegal, as was his paid life-coaching service. The State Board went through Steve's writings with a red pen, indicating what he may and may not say without a <a href="https://www.membersbase.net/ncbdn/login.asp" target="_blank">government-issued license</a>.<br />
<br />
But the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_Am1.html" target="_blank">First Amendment</a> does not allow the government to ban people from sharing ordinary advice about diet, or scrub the Internet—from blogs to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> to <a href="http://www.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>—of speech the government does not like. North Carolina can no more force Steve to become a licensed dietitian than it could require Dear Abby to become a licensed psychologist.<br />
<br />
That is why on May 30, 2012, Steve Cooksey joined the <a href="http://www.ij.org/" target="_blank">Institute for Justice</a> in filing a major free speech lawsuit against the State Board in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division. This lawsuit seeks to answer one of the most important unresolved questions in First Amendment law: When does the government's power to license occupations trump free speech?</blockquote>
More information about this case is offered at <a href="http://www.ij.org/paleospeech" target="_blank">The Institute for Justice</a>. Interesting commentary on this case and our First Amendment right to freedom of speech without government interference is also offered by <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/nlj/PubArticleNLJ.jsp?id=1202556531494&Can_state_licensing_boards_ban_ordinary_advice_on_the_Internet&slreturn=1" target="_blank">law.com</a>. <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/" target="_blank">The Blaze</a> also posted their take on the story <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/blogger-could-be-thrown-in-jail-for-writing-about-his-diet/" target="_blank">here</a>.Resist Tyrannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12789096254540056306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709793274598572833.post-26844534850268682692012-05-29T20:40:00.001-05:002012-05-29T21:12:41.107-05:00Planned Parenthood's quiet 'War on Women'Many on the US political left are prattling on about an imaginary "<a href="http://stopthewaronwomen.com/" target="_blank">War on Women</a>" these days.

<br />

And he's rewarded for his mindless "thinking" with a job as <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/~pkrugman/" target="_blank">professor of economics and international affairs at Princeton University</a>, and by having a <a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/opinion/editorialsandoped/oped/columnists/paulkrugman/index.html" target="_blank">New York Times column</a> that only brain-dead liberals actually read. Inexplicably, Krugman was the <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2008/krugman.html" target="_blank">2008 Nobel Prize for economic sciences</a>.<br />
<br />
Watch as nerdy, socially-awkward Krugman delivers his honestly dishonest remarks on <a href="http://www.billmaher.com/" target="_blank">Bill Maher's</a> <a href="http://www.hbo.com/real-time-with-bill-maher/index.html" target="_blank">televised leftist hate forum</a>:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.mrctv.org/embed/113351" title="MRC TV video player" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Like most <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/con+man" target="_blank">con men</a> and liars, Krugman speaks very quickly. Just in case you don't catch all of his words, here is what he says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is hard to get people to do, much better, obviously, to build bridges and roads and healthcare clinics and schools. But my proposed, I actually have a serious proposal which is that we have to get a bunch of scientists to tell us that we're facing a threatened alien invasion, and in order to be prepared for that alien invasion we have to do things like build high-speed rail. And then, once we've recovered, we can say, 'Look, there were no aliens.'</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
But look, I mean, whatever it takes, because right now we need somebody to spend, and that somebody has to be the U.S. government.</blockquote>
So a Nobel laureate economist makes a "serious proposal" that some unnamed group of presumedly-real scientists intentionlly lie to the American people about something as absurd as an alien invasion? And this for the purpose of stealing more of their money to funnel through the Federal government, and then redistribute, ostensibly via another <a href="http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/Articles/2012/04/06/Justice-Department-Probing-Widespread-Stimulus-Fraud.aspx" target="_blank">fraud-packed "stimulus"</a>? This scheme is deserving of all the ridicule informed citizens can heap upon Krugman and anyone who supports his dishonest lunacy.<br />
<br />
Oh, wait. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3312921/The-deceit-behind-global-warming.html" target="_blank">Global-warmists</a> are already using Krugman's suggested tactic: Lie about some impending disaster in order to get the Federal government to spend more of your money.<br />
<br />
Also, super-brainy economist Krugman has apparently never seen <a href="http://www.usdebtclock.org/" target="_blank">this</a>.<br />
<br />
Note Krugman's predictable "ends justifies the means" approach. "<u>Whatever it takes</u>." This is how leftist tyrants think: "Whatever it takes" to fool or force you into doing their bidding. Why? Because <a href="http://www.americanscientist.org/science/pub/study-are-liberals-smarter-than---conservatives" target="_blank">they're a lot smarter than you</a>, and they firmly believe that they have the right - even the moral obligation - to tell you what to do.<br />
<br />
We disagree.<br />

<br />
But Chomsky made a surprising admission during a recent television interview with <a href="http://www.democracynow.org/" target="_blank">Democracy Now!</a>* "I don’t usually admire <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sarahpalin" target="_blank">Sarah Palin</a>, but when she was making fun of this 'hopey changey' stuff, she was right, there was nothing there."<br />
<br />
We don't generally recommend listening to Chomsky, because he's an über intellectual <a href="http://www.guernicamag.com/blog/noam_chomsky_my_reaction_to_os/" target="_blank">who detests America</a> and all things normal.

<br />
<br />
So what's the big deal about thirteen Senators endorsing an anti-bullying project? <strong><em>Savage himself is a bully</em></strong>.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately for these elected officials, Savage was <a href="http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/anti-bullying-speaker-curses-mocks-christian-teens.html" target="_blank">caught recently making obscene and profane remarks to a journalism conference of <em>high school students</em> and teachers</a>. In his comments, Savage repeatedly mocked the Bible and ridiculed Christianity and Christians. Watch the shocking video of Savage's offensive,profane, inappropriate bullying here:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ao0k9qDsOvs" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Yes, this is the same courageous, self-defending Dan Savage who <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2010/04/creators-of-everybody-draw-muhammad-day-abandon-effort-after-it-becomes-controversial.html" target="_blank">left others holding the bag when the "Draw Muhammed" stunt got dangerous</a>.<br />
<br />
Don't be a bully like him, but you can <a href="http://www.itgetsbetter.org/page/s/contact-us/" target="_blank">contact The It Gets Better Project online</a> or mention them on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a> at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/itgetsbetter" target="_blank">@itgetsbetter</a> - or Savage himself <a href="http://www.twitter.com/fakedansavage" target="_blank">@fakedansavage</a> - to let them know what you think of radical homosexual bullies like <a href="http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/gay-conservatives-condemn-dan-savages-christian-bullying.html" target="_blank">Dan Savage</a> and his anti-Christian hate speech. You may also want to contact the Gang of 13 above to express your opinion.<br />
<br />
And be sure to watch the video put together by these thirteen Senators - which YOU paid for:<br />

Congress held hearings on April 26 regarding the <a href="http://www.hhs.gov/" target="_blank">US Department of Health and Human Services</a> rules within <a href="http://www.conservapedia.com/ObamaCare" target="_blank">ObamaCare</a> that would force Americans to abandon their religious beliefs and permit unnecessary Federal government intrusion into their lives.<br />
<br />
This video is enjoyable on two levels: First, it serves as an excellent example of how a conservative will <em>always</em> defeat a squirming, exposed liberal every time actual issues and facts are discussed. Second, it reveals that President Barack Hussein Obama's cabinet members - typified by <a href="http://www.hhs.gov/secretary/about/biography/index.html" target="_blank">Kathleen Sibelius</a> - know little or nothing about the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/" target="_blank">U.S. Constitution</a>, beyond the disdain that their boss has for our founding documents. Secretary Sibelius actually believes "separation of church and state" is part of the Constitution. (It is not.)<br />

<br />
Students at <a href="http://www.carthage.edu/" target="_blank">Carthage College</a> in Kenosha, Wis. decided to celebrate Tax Day on April 17. And they had a great idea: Circulate a petition demanding that students with good grades be forced to redistribute some of their academic achievement to students with lower grade point averages. It's all about fairness and equity, right?<br />
<br />
The fact that many seem to willingly sign the petition proves that these students have a lousy GPA, or that <a href="http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal-a/2012_04/a_few_more_words_on_redistribu036719.php" target="_blank">Marxist redistribution</a> theory is alive and well on this campus:<br />

<br />
Ever wonder who is wasting millions of your Federal tax dollars?<br />
<br />
Barack Hussein Obama's style of spend first, ask questions later government is typified by a previously unknown bureaucrat named Jeff Neely. Neely, a <a href="http://www.gsa.gov/" target="_blank">Government Services Administration</a> regional commissioner was apparently in charge of <a href="http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/100836" target="_blank">a Las Vegas conference on child care</a> that wasted nearly a million dollars of our money. <br />
<br />
Why the GSA even hosts conferences on child care is unknown at this point. The fact that Neely hosted the <em><strong>21st annual </strong></em>such gathering is even more disturbing.<br />
<br />
GSA was given $5.5 billion by Obama's "stimulus" boondoggle, allegedly to convert federal buildings into high-performance green buildings, and build new, energy-efficient federal buildings, courthouses and land ports of entry. Investigators are reviewing GSA records to see how much of that bloated budget has been squandered by Neely and his free-spending GSA co-conspirators.<br />
<br />
Neely was subpoenaed to appear before the <a href="http://oversight.house.gov/" target="_blank">House Oversight Committee</a>, and just like an organized crime weasel, refused to even confirm his job title.<br />
<br />
Here's an excerpt from <a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/gsa-exec-charge-800000-las-vegas-conference-refuses-give-even-his-title-oversight-cmte" target="_blank">a post by Penny Star</a> at <a href="http://cnsnews.com/">CNSNews.com</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">[Jeffrey] Neely was subpoenaed as part of a House investigation into a 2010 conference... that sent 300 people to Las Vegas and racked up a tab of more than $850,000, including a $75,000 bike-building event and $130,000 to send 15 scouts to pick the event venue.</blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq">Neely, who makes $179,000 annually as the regional GSA regional commissioner in charge of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, several other countries and territories, evoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent when questioned by Rep.

Neely is now on administrative leave and is <strong><em>still receiving his salary</em></strong>.</blockquote><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="100%" id="flowplayer_api" width="100%"><param NAME="_cx" VALUE="13229"><param NAME="_cy" VALUE="9921"><param NAME="FlashVars" VALUE='config={"clip":{"url":"http://cnsnews-test.s3.amazonaws.com/sites/default/files/videos/converted/issaissa.mp4","autoPlay":false,"scaling":"fit"},"key":"#$c7accfc345f9c193610","plugins":{"controls":{"play":true,"scrubber":true,"time":true,"mute":true,"volume":true,"fullscreen":true,"stop":false,"backgroundGradient":"medium"}},"playerId":"flowplayer","playlist":[{"url":"http://cnsnews-test.s3.amazonaws.com/sites/default/files/videos/converted/issaissa.mp4","autoPlay":false,"scaling":"fit"}]}'><param NAME="Movie" VALUE="http://cnsnews.com/sites/all/modules/contrib/flowplayer/flowplayer/flowplayer.swf"><param NAME="Src" VALUE="http://cnsnews.com/sites/all/modules/contrib/flowplayer/flowplayer/flowplayer.swf"><param NAME="WMode" VALUE="Window"><param NAME="Play" VALUE="-1"><param NAME="Loop" VALUE="-1"><param NAME="Quality" VALUE="High"><param NAME="SAlign" VALUE=""><param NAME="Menu" VALUE="-1"><param NAME="Base" VALUE=""><param NAME="AllowScriptAccess" VALUE="always"><param NAME="Scale" VALUE="ShowAll"><param NAME="DeviceFont" VALUE="0"><param NAME="EmbedMovie" VALUE="0"><param NAME="BGColor" VALUE="000000"><param NAME="SWRemote" VALUE=""><param NAME="MovieData" VALUE=""><param NAME="SeamlessTabbing" VALUE="1"><param NAME="Profile" VALUE="0"><param NAME="ProfileAddress" VALUE=""><param NAME="ProfilePort" VALUE="0"><param NAME="AllowNetworking" VALUE="all"><param NAME="AllowFullScreen" VALUE="true"></OBJECT><br />

</tbody></table> Many people mistakenly attribute the above quote to French writer, deist and philosopher Voltaire.* And in recent days, too many conservatives have mistakenly abandoned this principle as they scurry to distance themselves from <a href="http://takimag.com/contributor/JohnDerbyshire/76" target="_blank">John Derbyshire's</a> piece, "<a href="http://takimag.com/article/the_talk_nonblack_version_john_derbyshire/" target="_blank">The Talk: The NonBlack Version</a>."<br />
<br />
It's a familiar phrase in conservative circles, isn't it? "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." <br />
<br />
Conservatives rightly decry the social tyranny known as "<a href="http://www.academia.org/the-origins-of-political-correctness/" target="_blank">political correctness</a>," correctly pointing out that liberals violate both spirit <em>and</em> letter of the law in <a href="http://stoprush.org/" target="_blank">their brash attempts to squelch conservative speech</a>. But what happens when conservatives employ this tactic to discourage speech with which they disagree?<br />
<br />
Our founders held that a citizen's freedom of speech - especially political speech - was so important that they <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/constam.html" target="_blank">amended the United States Constitution in 1791</a>. The <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/xconst_Am1.html" target="_blank">first amendment</a> they ratified reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."<br />
<br />
So the Constitution makes it clear that our Federal government has no authority to exercise control over the speech of a private citizen, no matter how disgusting or offensive. But what happens if fellow conservatives independently begin to "outlaw" certain speech, deeming it unacceptable?<br />
<br />
Constitutional conservatives have long maintained that our First Amendment guarantees that vile, hateful, disagreeable, unpleasant, foolish and even outright stupid speech is protected by law. In other words, people are free to say almost anything that doesn't actually endanger other people. It may not be wise to say it. It may make the listener or reader or viewer uncomfortable to hear it. But US citizens have an absolute right to speak, write and broadcast their opinions. <br />
<br />
That is, until we get to the tenuous topic of race relations in America. Racism remains a subject where conservatives - especially nonBlack conservatives - dare not tread. <br />
<br />
Make no mistake: We don't defend Derbyshire or his ideas. He's a lucid writer, and can do that himself, if he so chooses. Liberals, statists, and <em>actual</em> racists who oppose conservatism for a wide variety of reasons will <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/derbyshire" target="_blank">castigate, ridicule, marginalize, and even threaten Derbyshire</a>. They are the hypocrites who claim to defend free speech rights, but <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/business/media/10imus.html" target="_blank">demand the head of anyone who makes what they deem to be an unsavory comment</a>. <br />
<br />
But a good number of self-proclaimed conservatives <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/search/derbyshire" target="_blank">fell all over themselves condemning Derbyshire's writing</a>. "I disapprove of what you say..." was <em>all we heard from them</em>. And we're <em>still</em> hearing that. There was absolutely no defense of a person's right to express thoughts or opinions, even if we don't like them. Perhaps this was an unthinking reaction by critics anxious to avoid being branded a "racist" themselves. Where is the arguably more-important "...but I will defend to the death your right to say it."? <br />
<br />
Whatever their motivation, this parade of harsh and instant conservative condemnation accomplished two things. First, it dramatically lessened the likelihood that Americans will <em>ever</em> have a serious, constructive conversation about race relations. We desperately need thoughtful conservatives to discuss the racial divide in America. And it isn't going to be pretty. It's a touchy subject for everyone involved. <br />

With the assistance of a willing media, they have driven the narrative for decades. Now that conservatives have destroyed one of their own so swiftly in absolute obedience to the left's dogma, these two have an even tighter lock on the issue. <br />
<br />
Who will change this paradigm? Jackson and Sharpton? We now know that <a href="http://cnsnews.com/blog/ken-blackwell/holders-race-baiting-ruse-about-obama-s-reelection-not-voting-rights" target="_blank">racial division is central to Barack Hussein Obama's re-election plan</a>, so it won't be the President or his minions, either. <br />
<br />
If you're a conservative, <em>no matter how offended you are</em> by what Derbyshire has posted, you owe it to your country and to fellow conservatives to defend his right to speak and write. <br />
<br />
And here's something Voltaire really <em>did</em> say: "To hold a pen is to be at war." Too many of our friends just retreated, taking their wit and writing instruments to the rear, riding unknowingly under the liberal banner "Raaaaaaaaaaacist." <br />
<br />
Reject cowardice! Burn that banner in open defiance of the left, and get back in the fight.<br />
<br />
There's a war on, you know:<br />

<br />
Both men clearly thought the microphones were turned off. Some believe this incident <a href="http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2012/03/did-an-open-mic-catch-obama-making-promises-to-russia.html" target="_blank">may have exposed Obama's promises to give in to Russian demands</a> about missile defense in Europe. <br />
<br />
Judge for yourself: Does President Obama's comment to Medvedev sound just a little sinister to you? What on earth is Obama promising to Russia?<br />

It was crafted in the dark of night by single-payer advocates, lobbyists, temporary politicians and professional leftists.<br />
<br />
Our thanks to Rep. <a href="http://west.house.gov/" target="_blank">Allen West</a> (R-FL) for <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/AllenWest/status/183256087586291712/photo/1" target="_blank">tweeting this image</a>, which clearly shows that <a href="http://blog.heritage.org/2012/03/23/morning-bell-obamacares-dreadful-anniversary/" target="_blank">ObamaCare</a> is a bureaucratic nightmare. This un-Constitutional, socialist takeover of America's healthcare system must be repealed immediately.<br />
