The world has turned upside down, my friends, when Free Speech is being challenged on so many levels that even the people of the so-called Left call for the rounding up of Lefty’s for speaking their mind. Or when the Left celebrates the jailing of the Right for using words we despise. The line is being erased.
Lets face it, I have wished for a good caviar plague to cull the Elite herd, and who hasn’t thought the Demon Cheney should be staked, beheaded, burned, his ashes scattered to the four corners of the Earth, then the ground salted where those lay, so that his Evil can never rise again? With or without my tongue firmly placed in my cheek, giggling to myself as I keyed that, there are those who are being incarcerated from both the Right and the Left for such utterings, and those who will support such actions for reasons from ideologuery * to personal vendettas against those whom they bear petty malice. “Jail them, harass them, crucify them!”

There is a perfect Trifecta of Freedom under Siege under which to discuss these ideas:
Deathers.
Is there a difference between expressing an Opinion, and Lying outright? Does it make a difference if it is under the umbrella of Journalism? If so, why aren’t all of Fox News reporters imprisoned? Could we assuage the fears of the elderly, were they fed truth instead of outright lies?
Hal Turner.
The right-wing frother is behind bars… and while I take personal pleasure in that fact, that is why I am glad there are Laws in place, so people cannot employ their personal prejudices to enforce Laws out of malice.
But, where does the razor fine line between opining and plotting lie? Do we defend David Duke or the KKK’s right to march, under the guise of Free Speech, or do we say Eichman hung for inciting and plotting the Holocaust without ever laying hand to weapon? Do we Police thought crime; things like a Feminist saying they want “Those who blow up Women’s Clinics to face a firing squad of gynecologists?” Do we stand mute while protesters carry signs calling for the killing of President Obama and his children?
It is a slippery nuanced slope, with valid angles all around.
Impending Civil War?
As the Hate Speech and Gun Toting amps up, will the Right start attacking the Left? As the Economy crashes, will Communities continue to make being Poor illegal, to protect the little they have left against the hungry?
If violence breaks out between factions among us, will it be used by the State to justify Martial Law on us all?
Will ever see collectively that we need to Revolt against the Elites for the good of us all?
Do we disarm our neo-con enemies, only to find ourselves helpless against Martial Law and Prison Camps? Whats a Liberal to do, fight back, or roll over?
We are facing a Perfect Storm. (with the additional pressure of the H1N1 on the horizon)
The time for the discussion about where to draw the lines of our Freedoms is now – for both those with whom we do not agree, and for those we do.

ADHD and or the digital microwave signals will reprogram the trolls and they will forget all about it.
Amazingly food still does come the the supermarket even as the black helicopters await fueling for this fall’s Unicorn Flu eugenics program.
got one for ya.
…and import Mexicans to do all the work (slave labor), won’t they have to feed us and clothe us and give us health care and provide us with computer time and gymnasium weights and stuff? …or are they more likely to decide once a majority of Americans are getting a “free ride” in jail, that they can go ahead and toss us into ovens?
