Did You Know? Hate Speech Is Okay As Long As It’s Coming From A Liberal

Carrie Prejean, also known as Miss California, is not only beautiful, she is classy, smart, and true to herself. She was asked an incredibly difficult and politically divisive question during the last round of the Miss USA pageant and answered the question honestly, truthfully, and with courage even though she knew in her heart the ultimate cost would be her dream; to be crowned Miss USA. This in an incredible display of this woman’s integrity, self-confidence, and dignity and she deserves to be respected for her opinions, popular or not.

So what was the famous controversial question asked by gay blogger and Miss USA judge Perez Hilton?

“Vermont recently became the 4^th state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?”

Her answer:

“I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one or the other…I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised, and that’s how I think it should be between a man and a woman.”

It is obvious by Perez Hilton’s sheer disgust with her answer and his hate-filled comments after the show that he really didn’t want to know the answer to why not same-sex marriage, as he pretended to ask, but simply hoped to pressure her to say why same-sex marriage should be implemented in every state. He couldn’t even contain himself after the pageant. He personally attacked Miss California in his video blog expressing his disappointment and calling her a “stupid Bit*h.” He ranted, cursed, and personally attacked Miss California; basically throwing a fit in his video. Perez Hilton has shamed the entire gay rights movement with his reaction to Miss California’s answer. During his video blog, he actually claimed that he is not mad at her because she doesn’t support same-sex marriage, but because she “doesn’t inspire” and “doesn’t unite.” Even after his publicized blog rant, Mr. Hilton explained during an interview with Julie Chen of CBS News, that since Carrie Prejean represents California, a state that has recently outlawed same-sex marriage through Proposition 8 (a proposition added to the ballot by the people of California by the way), she should have been “better prepared” to answer the question and that she “alienated millions of people” because of how she answered, not what she answered. “Better prepared” must mean that she should have answered it the way he thought she should have. What a crock! Mr. Hilton has so perfectly shown how intolerant the Left is of any opposing opinions and views!

So where are the lawmakers, the ACLU, and the outcries of the public against hate-speech?? Hate-speech laws are the darling of liberals and the Democrat party. If the libs are so against “hate-speech,” they should be willing to hold one of their own to the same standards, but we all know better than to expect that. If Mr. Hilton’s rant against Miss California was not hate-speech, than we have some serious problems here. Hate-speech is not only reserved for verbal degradation against race and sexual orientation, but also includes degradation against religion and ideology. It seems that the current (completely unconstitutional) laws against hate-speech are only enforced against those evil conservative Christian “rightwing extremists.”

So what if Miss California answered the famous same-sex marriage question the other way? What if she said that she wished all states would follow Vermont’s lead and legalize same-sex marriage? This would have been a perfect follow up question for Julie Chen in response to the diatribe spewed out by Perez Hilton during the CBS News interview. Even Shanna Moakler, Miss USA pageant Co-director, called Miss California’s response “insensitive” and “not compassionate.” Ms. Moakler has also claimed Miss California’s answer alienated sponsors and caused them to feel “a sense of betrayal.” Does anyone naively think she would have been called insensitive for offending conservative sponsors had she answered in support of same-sex marriage? No way! It would have been a non-issue. I am ashamed of you Ms. Moakler and Mr. Hilton for your insensitivity and intolerance of Miss California’s personal ideology.

Carrie Prejean a.k.a Miss California has had a great attitude throughout this whole insane ordeal. Instead of being upset and complaining to Donald Trump about the stupid question asked by Mr. Hilton, she has taken the higher ground. She has not only congratulated Miss North Carolina on her win, she has offered to get together with Mr. Hilton for lunch to better explain her response to his question, she has offered Mr. Hilton her love and support as a person and has shown him much respect, respect that has not been reciprocated back to her in the least.

While Miss Prejean is being demonized for her honest response to a question that should have never been asked, the one who should be the outcast is Perez Hilton for behaving like such a schmuck. In his insistence for the American people to accept his beliefs, lifestyle, and morals, he has clearly demonstrated he is not capable of accepting the beliefs, lifestyle, and morals of those who think differently than himself. Mr. Hilton and those like him are guilty of the very intolerance they are trying to prevent. They are fighting for their own liberty, but at the expense of the liberty of others.

I support you Carrie! I am encouraged that you had the bravery to speak your heart, even knowing the ultimate cost of your answer. God bless you and everyone like you!

 

Hugo Chavez Praises A Socialist America

Each day that goes by gets even more frightening than I thought was possible. I knew Obama was an extreme leftist liberal, but I (for sanity’s sake) remained optimistic that he would govern more as a centrist than a leftist. Well, as we all know, Obama is fighting as hard as he possibly can to implement as many liberal, socialist agendas as possible before the American people realize that he is changing the very fabric of this country. Is this really the “hope” and “change” that Obama voters were searching for? I think not.

Fox News reports that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is even cheering Obama on. Chavez claims that Capitalism in America has failed and Socialism is the only answer to our economic problems. I am confident that even those that voted for Obama in the presidential election appreciate the freedoms they enjoy every day and don’t want those freedoms and liberties stripped away from them by a dictatorial government. I don’t believe the majority of Obama supporters realized what and who they were really voting for.

After only two months in office, many on the Democrat side, even some liberal media pundits are beginning to get nervous about the radical policies being forced through Congress. Obama is not the only advocate for socialism; Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and many other extreme leftist Democrats in Congress are happy to comply with Obama’s extreme policies. These people have pledged to uphold the constitution, but have done nothing but violate it. We Americans, both Democrats and Republicans alike, must fight against this if freedom is to win in the end.

Public Dissatisfaction Leads To Political Involvement

Dr. Michael Munger, the 2008 Libertarian gubernatorial candidate for the state of North Carolina and Chair of the Political Science Department at Duke University said in a recent meeting for North Carolina State University’s “Society for Politics, Economics, and Law” (SPEL) club that the general public shouldn’t have to feel the need to get involved in politics in order to get the government’s attention. If the government was really doing it’s job, political issues would not be at the forefront of people’s minds.

As we are all aware, politics is a huge issue in our society today. Almost everyone is declaring their opinions about what they want the government to do for them, for others, or to others. This is a tell-tale sign the public is dissatisfied. Dr. Munger stated (paraphrased into my own words of course) that during times of minimal government intrusion and people are satisfied with their representatives, political issues are not in their immediate thoughts. However, during times of increasing government restrictions and intrusions, people feel driven to get involved in order to have their voices heard because they feel underrepresented.

We are living in a time of increasing uncertainly and fear. Mostly due to the actions and statements of those who should have things under control.

Do You Want To Silence Opposing Views Too?

As Bush walked onto the inaugural stage, the pro-Obama crowd felt it necessary to mock and ridicule him. I am ashamed and embarrassed for those imbeciles who insist on behaving like animals. Have people so little respect for the office of the President that they would treat their outgoing leader with such contempt? It appears to be so.

This is a perfect example of the liberal intolerance of opposing views. Liberals are determined to silence those who disagree with them while insisting that the silenced be conciliatory to liberal views. What a blatant violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution. Isn’t the promise of freedom of speech supposed to apply to everyone? According to liberals, apparently not.

One example of this intolerance is the libs are determined to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, which will enable government bureaucrats to silence conservative talk-radio. I specify only conservative talk-radio because there are so few liberal talk-radio stations that get any attention at all. And therein lies the problem of “fairness.”

Congress refuses to admit that conservative talk-radio is as popular as it is because the people actually want to listen to it! It is simple, conservative talk-radio is driven by public demand! The only reason liberal views do not have “equal” airtime is because consumers do not demand it! It’s as simple as that.

This is also the reason why liberals do not like the free market. Free markets favor conservative views and the libs cannot allow the rational choice of consumers to ruin their big plans!

Wait. Aren’t our elected officials in Congress supposed to be representing  us, the people, their constituents? Their actions make it blatantly obvious that public service is not in their agenda.

HR 4040: Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. Protect Your Business And Fight This!!!

READ THIS LEGISLATION AND CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSMEN IMMEDIATELY!!!

HR 4040 is the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008. From what I have heard, there are still a great deal of people that have no idea what this bill is about. HR 4040 is disgraceful and unfair piece of legislation that passed both houses of Congress almost unanimously and then quickly signed by our president. I cannot comprehend who in their right mind would think this regulation is good for anyone. This bill requires that all toys, articles of clothing, and even all inputs to clothing (buttons, string, etc.) to be individually tested for lead. OK, no one wants lead poisoning, but this is absolutely ridiculous! Lead in a button!!! Give me a break! A close relative of mine has her own children’s clothing line and recently checked into what it would cost to test ONE button for lead. The answer she received…$25.00 each! Yes, you read correctly, $25.00 to test ONE button for lead. A cost like this will drive any company out of business, small or large. Those in our government are either total idiots or they have an ulterior motive to bankrupt every small businesses they possibly can. I am fairly confident it is mostly the latter. Why our elected officials would want to do this to small businesses, I just do not know.

The bill is to take effect in February of this year, but must be stopped! Please send a letter to your Congressmen and Senators and insist they fight against this bill before it is put into effect. During this time of recession, our country cannot afford to put even more people out of work. Not only will this significantly increase unemployment, but it will bankrupt the businesses that many have worked so hard for over their entire lifetimes to build. 

Another important point. If one does not follow this new law, they could face up to 5 years in prison and a fine!!! What a shame.

Since They Can’t Take Our Weapons…

The liberals filling the seats of our Congress have been trying for some time to keep law-abiding citizens from acquiring weapons.  They do not seem to be concerned about a person’s need to protect themselves or their family against an attacker or a potentially dangerous situation.  They have implemented restriction after restriction and law after law, but fortunately for us, they have not been able to fully take our gun rights away as much as they would like to due to the 2^nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  The 2^nd amendment states: 

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

 

May I repeat…”the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”  This issue should not even be up for debate.  The problem lies with the liberals in Congress who feel the Constitution is a “living and breathing document” and simply too restrictive for modern-day society.  If they could, they would remove the 2^nd amendment, as well as many others, from the Constitution all together.  For years, these liberals have been pushing their anti-gun agenda on the public by making it harder and harder for law-abiding citizens to get them, while the criminals have no problem acquiring weapons because they just buy them on the black market.  Our government is not technically forbidding legal weapon ownership, but they are doing everything they can to make it either very expensive or very inconvenient for a person to own a weapon, much less carry one. 

 

Since the libs have not been able to axe the 2^nd amendment, they have decided to focus on the ammunition.  What good is a weapon if you have no ammunition to put in it?  Ever heard of the Ammunition Accountability Act?  This bill will require all uncoded ammunition to be destroyed by July 1, 2011.  They will also implement a .05 cent tax on every round purchased from that point.  There are 18 states that have this legislation pending: AL, AZ, CA, CT, HA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MS, MO, NJ, NY, PA, RI, SC, TN, and WA, and NC is not far behind. (http://www.hunttheus.com/huntingarticles/ammunition-accountabilty-act.html)

 

All of these restrictions do not help “protect” the American citizen from harms, but only keeps them from being able to protect themselves against the government itself.   Consider this, if our government gets too powerful and restrictive, how could the citizens who reject this tyranny possibly become a “well-regulated Militia” and stand up to a power-bloated government if we do not have the weapons needed to back the cause for freedom?  It is legislation like this that makes me fearful of what the liberal democrats have in mind for us once they succeed in removing all weapons from society.  Be vigilant!  The democrats now have almost incontestable power.  They have the presidency and majority power in Congress and it will not be long until they have the Supreme Court as well.  If you live in one of the states trying to enact this legislation, contact your legislator and tell them you do not want them to vote no on the Ammunition Accountability Act!

Government Mandated Censorship Here We Come!

If anyone naively believes that our beloved Democratic Congress honors and respects our Constitution, they are gravely mistaken.  This accusation is not unfounded.  Amongst the many issues that can be called into question, one stands out above all the rest, and that’s the issue of free speech.  Congress is currently working hard to reinstate an old piece of rejected legislation called The Fairness Doctrine.  The Fairness Doctrine is meant to regulate the expression of controversial issues and public opinion regarding the same.  This legislation would do little more than silence conservative voices on the radio air waves.  This is a frightening concept.  What this means is that a government commission would be responsible for monitoring the radio waves to make sure that what is being broadcast is “honest, equitable, and balanced.”  So who determines what is honest, equitable, and balanced?  Can any one person or group of persons really be qualified to determine what honest, equitable, and balanced is?  This is simply an open door for corrupt, power hungry politicians to silence the voices who oppose them.  If the government empowered gulag does not like Rush Limbaugh, for example, then they would actually have the power to silence him for good.  Is Mr. Limbaugh alone in this threat?  No way!  What about Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levine, and many many more conservative talk radio voices?  I seem to recall a particular part of the Constitution called the Bill of Rights and I think one of those Rights deals with free speech!  Does anyone remember what the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution says? 

“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.”

Without this 1st amendment guarantee, we citizens would be subject to a serious violation of our individual liberties.  This encroachment on our freedoms would start small and then build over time in order to avoid the risk of rebellion.  And the news media would be right by their side to implement the “new rules.”  A recent example of how this may take place happened on Monday, January 5th.  NBC banned Ann Coulter from their news station FOR LIFE simply because they didn’t agree with the topic of her new book, “Guilty.”  They just didn’t want anything to do with someone who had a negative view of the president-elect Obama and took the unprecedented step of banning her completely.  Aren’t the news media supposed to be the epitome of fair and balanced?  Aren’t they supposed to represent views from both sides of the political spectrum?  Oh don’t we wish!  This is certainly how it is supposed to be, but these current media mongols have one agenda, and that is to further the cause of the Democrats and force liberalism down the throats of every impressionable person they can.  Their want nothing more than to squash conservative views to ensure that the next generation of voters will be overwhelmingly liberal in their ideals. 

This whole flap with NBC and Ann Coulter is just the beginning of our troubles since our “wonderful” Democratic Congress has already started down this path to censorship.   If our elected representatives cannot even respect our basic fundamental liberties, such as free speech, that have been upheld and fought for with the blood of our ancestors and our children, wake up my friends, we are truly on the road to TYRANNY.

Note:  NBC has since taken back their “ban” on Ann Coulter due to the negative publicity they received from the very same conservative media that they, along with our government representatives, wish to silence.  It won’t be long until they succeed if we are not fighting back.
