The Real Danger of Not Protecting Free Speech

Los Angeles, CA—Pornography, hate speech and Rock & Roll music have all come under attack in America.  The religious misfits of the Westboro Baptist Church disrupt funerals of our fallen soldiers carrying their disjointed messages of hate.  In the 1970’s neo-Nazis sought to picket Skokie, IL, which was where many Concentration Camp survivors were still living. 
Repugnant words, displays, videos seem to be everywhere.  Certainly political messages many of us despise assault us everywhere.  We can’t seem to find refuge from something offensive.   Many ignorant people in this land demand strict laws to curb offensive speech. 
There really is no happy medium or acceptable compromise.  What we create when we try are subjective judgments of vague words like immoral, obscene or hateful.  When does art become pornography?  When is disagreement hate? 
The best way we can determine what Americans want politically is through allowing unfettered free speech.  
We don’t really have freedom of thought or expression even though it’s the law of the land.  For example you write a blog like mine and you freely express your opinion it could be a liability. 
These days, potential employers conduct routine Internet searches of applicants and if they don’t like what you published they will discriminate against you.  That’s all too common in the entertainment and news business. 
Hate speech is a certain sign that freedom still exists in this nation.  It should really be music to our ears. 
If certain speech is outlawed than people become too afraid to express their true opinions.  Despots like Castro, Hitler and Stalin loved to brag how they are supported by 100% of their populations.  Not all of the seemingly adoring Germans loved Hitler.  There was a severe price to pay if you did not display reverence for the swastika and Hitler.  We will never know just how unpopular Hitler was after he invaded Poland and the USSR.  
Communists and Nazis demand loyalty of everyone they rule.  Severe penalties were levied against people they merely suspected may not have liked their form of government or leaders.   
Anonymous letters and phone calls suggesting disloyalty were always sufficient evidence for the Gestapo, KGB or Stazi to remove a couple’s children out for adoption or even to an orphanage.
After 1939 Nazi Germany used the fact that they were at war as an excuse to hang people that refused to give the Hitler salute or were caught listening to foreign radio broadcasts.   American or British style Swing Dance music was viewed as enemy propaganda and there was always some draconian form of punishment for minimal resistance.
Suggesting in any way that Nazi Germany or the USSR was violating human rights or that those forms of government were simply inadequate could and did often bring the death penalty. 
What we seem to somehow forget is that East German Communists were killing anyone they could trying to escape to the West until the Wall came down in 1989.  I can’t help but believe fleeing Communism is yet another form of speech.
Make no mistake Communists are in the Halls of our Congress and the Whitehouse today.  Their constant assault on liberty, freedom and the Bill of Rights has heralded their true loyalties.  Their actions speak clearly for them despite their claimed political party labels.
Yes, I’d spit on Barack Obama because of the Red Color of his politics and constant lies.  So far, government should not be able to punish me for saying that.  I’m proud to say I detest Obama and all that he stands for.   
Frankly, I see it as my duty as an American to spill a lot of blood including my own before I let government muzzle me.  There is no freedom without free speech.

Amen, Paul; these are dangerous times, indeed. I have wondered, as I watch the obedient media, do they not recall from history, what fascist regimes do to journalists? What they do to religious organizations? What they do to any citizen, for any--or no--reason? I often read of history books being revised, so as not to "upset" the students who will read those books. I have, within the last couple days, read of a serviceman (Sgt. Gary Stein) being disciplined for expressing an unwillingness to obey unlawful orders by obama. I do realize that servicemen do not have quite the same Constitutional rights to free speech that civilians have. But I would think that expressing unwillingness to follow unlawful orders would be applauded, rather than punished. Didn't the Nazis being tried at the Nuremburg trials, following World War II, attempt to justify their actions by saying that they were simply following orders? And didn't the prosecuting attorneys remind them that they could not use that as an excuse, that they have a prior duty, superior to their obligation to their commanders, to resist orders they know to be unlawful? Even the fact that everyone pretty much knew that, in the Wehrmacht, that kind of individual resistance would be met with death, would not absolve them.

Great post. I recommend reading "Blacklisted by History: The Untold Story of Senator Joe McCarthy and His Fight Against America's Enemies" for a really scary glimpse about how many communists have invaded our government in the past. It's even worse today.

Amen Paul. We are now living through the uncloaking of the New Bolsheviks and their agenda. Let's all remember that this regime, who's descendant are now those pulling Obama's strings and running our privately owned central banks, killed more than 100 million people AND have designs on doing the same here.

Arm yourself, tune out the mainstream media, tune in Infowars.com, rense.com and other alternatives.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
