The Anti-Defamation League Director for the Plains States, Alan Potash, has just declared war against our First Amendment right to freedom of speech. Potash made the following statement, which was published in the May 26 edition of The Omaha World Herald:

“Dangers of hate,” was right to point out that freedom of speech does not extend to racist groups, nor give their supporters the right to threaten and intimidate others or commit acts of violence.

But when bigots step over the line, it is vital that law enforcement and the courts have the proper tools to respond effectively.

This is why Congress should move expeditiously to approve the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevent Act – legislation that would add protection for all citizens from violent acts of intolerance.

The bill, which was approved in the House last month, would equip local law enforcement officials with tools, training and resources to investigate and prosecute bias-motivated crimes.

Like acts of terrorism, hate crimes can hurt more than the individual victim.  They can instill fear and insecurity within an entire community.

The Hate Crimes Prevention Act recently passed the Congress and is now on its way to the Senate, where it is likely to pass and signed by President Obama. The Anti-Defamation League has been at the forefront of  promoting hate crime legislation, and openly advocates its model anti-hate law.  In 1988 the ADL gave out an award to law student Joseph Ribikoff for writing a proposed hate crime bill that would criminalize hate speech against gays and minorities.

Forty years ago, a GM Chairman famously said that “what is good for GM is good for America.”

Now, perhaps, our Treasury Secretary is saying “what is good for Goldman Sachs (the bailout) is good for America.” Of course such universal statements are easily found to be untrue, but we should examine briefly a few related issues as viewed by economic science.

Despite receiving the majority of middle class votes, George Bush was one of the worst presidents for the middle class. Bush promoted  free trade deals that are sending our jobs overseas and promoted amnesty for illegal immigrants and greater guest worker programs while our borders remain unsecured. Bush continued to spend until breaking Lyndon Johnson’s record on increasing the size of government, while borrowing from nations that are not the friendliest, such as China and Saudi Arabia, leading to the current financial crisis while the federal reserve printed money out of thin air, devaluing our currency. Bush did pass massive tax cuts, but they favored the wealthy and did nothing to address the budget deficit.

In the 2008 republican presidential primary, Congressman Ron Paul was the only candidate to advocate for a non-interventionist foreign policy and warned about the future financial crisis caused by reckless spending, and unsound currency policy by the Federal Reserve. Along with Tom Tancredo and Duncan Hunter who were also marginalized, he warned about the danger to our sovereignty by the North American Union. The GOP establishment and other candidates marginalized him because they perceived him as a threat to their political power. The Republicans ended up electing John McCain who was  perceived as a continuation of the Bush agenda by supporting the Iraq War, co-sponsoring an amnesty bill in the Senate with Ted Kennedy, and making jokes about bombing Iran. He lost to Obama, who was led to victory by many Americans who were desperate for change with a false message of hope without a clear political plan. The Republicans also lost many seats in the House and Senate that election, giving the democrats control of both branches of government.

Now President Obama has continued much of Bush’s legacy of massive deficit spending, an American military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is now spreading into Pakistan, which you can hear about on the latest episode of the “15Minutes of Freedom Show”. Many republican politicians and party members who once dismissed Ron Paul are realizing he was right about the financial crisis, even though they are still weary of his foreign policy. Many conservatives are now realizing the War in Iraq was a huge mistake. Much of Obama’s anti-war base that helped him get elected is loosing faith in his administration because of its failure to end the war.

“Were you there?” That’s the question I think many people will ask in the future when the subject of the Tax Day Tea Parties comes up, “Were you there?”

As I drove up to the site of the Tea Party even though it was cold and there was a persistent drizzle in the air there were massive lines of people converging on the park. Many had signs, all were orderly and the traffic was gridlocked. After finding a parking spot I joined a flowing stream of people and walked the five blocks to the large central park where the event was taking place. As I walked along there was some friendly discussions going on as people turned up their collars against the cold wind and either carried their umbrellas or wished they were.

As we got closer to the park additional streams of people joined us until we were a river and by the time I entered the park I was part of a flood of humanity that covered the large park and extended out into the adjoining sidewalks and malls. I later learned the park’s capacity was approximately 3,000 and estimates of the crowd went as high as 5,000.

The results of opening the progressive Pandora’s box of “governmental intervention” are finally becoming clear to those who both have and those who have had their hats in their hands seeking “assistance.” The collectivist caliphate led by BHO/FDR/LBJ has “forced out” the “evil businessman” at the helm of General Motors. This is the logical regression when capitalism is supplanted by socialism. They know what is best for everyone, just ask any of them.

Two articles relative to all of the “totalitarian total takeovers,” “GM CEO Wagner forced out as part of government plan” and “White House questions viability of GM, Chrysler” both contain bushel baskets of Bolshevik baloney wrapped in the atypical Obama obfuscation.

We can’t borrow our way to freedom, for the borrower is slave to the lender. We can’t tax ourselves into prosperity with feel-good bureaucratic band-aids for current problems promising security for freedom at the cost of bankruptcy later. Ben Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” We’ve got to turn back the tide before we drown in a sea of debt.

The re-distribution network we’ve been drawn into is a web threatening to hold us captive unless we return to our inheritance of constitutional rights and responsibilities. We must throw off dependency and stand on our own feet.

AND THE WINNER IS:

RUNNER-UP:

Alas, our runner-up is no longer around to receive his award. He expired after guzzling a bottle of Viagra to keep him going for a 12-hour orgy with two female pals.

John McCain said last Wednesday that he is
"getting together a list" of names to be his running mate, but he
said the process is in its early stages. He is yet to release the names of
possible candidates, yet it has not stopped anyone from speculating on who may
be on it.

Is
it really guaranteed that Sen. John McCain will win the Republican nomination?
If not, why is this said and what is the motivation?

The people preaching
McCain’s unavoidable Republican nomination usually fall into one or more of
three categories. I’ve created names for these stereotypical political
cliques.
