One patriot once said it along these lines – I disagree with
what you say but I will always stand by your right to say it.
And so it goes – freedom of speech. There are some sensible restrictions on even
this, the most basic of our “constitutional” freedoms. The most notable being the “yelling fire in a
crowded theatre” exception. That is a
no-no. Even though in many situations
one can say something that is not accurate; not even partially accurate; downright
wrong or cynical or hypocritical (think Obama telling his audience that Bush
II’s debt build up was “unpatriotic” and “irresponsible” and then doubling/tripling
the rate at which he built debt) the fact is we all know that there are times
when abusing the concept of free speech is appropriately discouraged.
At TheFundamentals, we constantly blather that the Obama
fiscal and financial behavior is not only wrong – de facto wrong – because the
consequence of deficits is debt and government debt is a burden placed on those
who had no say in its creation by those who have no intent to be responsible
for paying it back, but that it is immoral and destructive. Our clamoring is painless – debt is not.
Today all we hear is government supported clamoring. Today, the clamoring shares some
characteristics with a lynch gang – demanding lynch justice for the one they
claim was lynched. These most secular of
all secularists are now demanding an “eye for an eye” – straight out of the Old
Testament. They caught religion watching
television. Following charlatans. More biblical than they realize.
Most of this clamoring comes from the “usual suspects.” Men and women of remarkable feet of clay who
find the chutzpah to rise above their limitations when opportunity knocks. But have you noticed the two particular
accomplices in this lynch mob gathering – NBC/Comcast and PBS? Both are government based (one is funded by
taxpayers and the other relies on government officials to secure its “exclusive
rights” to the pipe coming into your home) monopolies which have spent an
inordinate amount of time giving audience and time and broad microphone
availability to this mob? Can they “yell
fire” with no consequence? One more
human sacrifice for ratings and a few bucks?
Biblical stuff, huh?
Why would it be okay for them to run wild – screaming
constantly, darn near 24/7, with government’s blessing while another loaner,
struggling kid, with access to some of their secrets, discloses them and is now
under similar government mob attack for just letting the public know how
government abuses its powers – daily – 24/7?
If it took a genius intellect to recognize that darn near
every problem in our society is now government based, you would not be reading about
it here, on these pages. The situation
is quite the opposite. It takes the
lowest possible standard of awareness and participation – that which can only
occur after years, after decades, of being dumbed down to an acceptance level
of pure simplemindedness, to not see that we now live with a government that
serves only itself and its perpetuation.
This is the government our founders sought to prevent.
If this government is served by freedom of speech – Katie
bar the door. If not, national security is
at risk – you will be indicted for treason.
This is not the government the founders had in mind – not the one they
debated – most certainly not the one they documented – not the one memorialized
in this document – http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/
