License Fee To Blog?

Philadelphia says, $300. Pay up.

I see it as an imminent threat to free speech. Kind of like wanting to regulate guns.

If they get you on a list, they can shut you down if they don’t like what they see or hear.

Post their pictures (of those Philly Cheese Takes) as the enemies to our U.S. Constitution that they are.

Otherwise, it could spread elsewhere.

This Is A Test At Ground Zero

Be sure to watch the video. Afterwards, tell us who the bigots are.

(hint: Mosque supporters, not athletic, rant against Jews then beat an Israeli supporter.)

A Few Steps An Idiot Makes

“It’s not the content of their activity – that being the national anthem – it’s the location,” he said. “A couple steps and it would have been no problem whatsoever.”

So said Sgt. David Schlosser. “The United States Park Police is absolutely content-neutral when it comes to any sort of demonstrations in these areas.”

Wow. So how was this group of high school students supposed to know that? How was anyone supposed to know that?

Since when is speech, or singing, supposed to be curtailed when attempting to display patriotism?

A Very Important Question

And this November 2nd (even September 14th for us in Maryland) will tell us if we have a chance at making corrections.

Here’s the question: Is the American Middle Class Disappearing?

I encourage you to read the post via the above link. The statistics are simple enough to give us all the sense of why it is extremely important to turn back recent legislation that will raise our expenses and taxes to an intolerable level.

We think it’s bad now? We do NOT want to wait any longer, or our future is not just doubtful – it will be painful.

1st Amendment Is In Danger

And we thought the Disclose Act was perhaps done with.

It may not be.

Flood the phones folks.

Threats To Our Constitution

Always be on your guard because Freedom is not free.

John Stossel has an interesting piece about that concerning our First Amendment.

Be concerned. For our future.

If Thine Eye Offend Thee

You know something, I can actually pluck my left one out.

Ron Baity, pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. He had been invited to lead prayer as an honorary chaplain of the state house of representatives for a week.

But the clerk asked to see his prayer and found the name of Jesus near the end of the prayer. She said, “We would prefer that you not use the name Jesus. We have some people here that can be offended.”

Let them deal with it. She said “prefer” and he gets fired?

Enough of this PC already and grow a spine.

UPDATEx2: Disclose Act Passed in the House

Pelosi, for once, reads the tea leaves correctly on the non-support on this bill.

(Psst: NRA, hear that? We know what you did. And, as an NRA member, I am not happy with what you did.)

However:

Democratic leadership aides said the vote would be rescheduled until next week, but it is still unclear whether Pelosi and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the author of the bill, will have enough votes to move forward then.

UPDATE: Apparently, Pelosi plans to have a vote on this abhorrent bill today. Time to light up the phone lines.

UPDATEx2: HR 5175 Roll Call Vote. Now it goes to the Senate. And we already know what that means here in Maryland, now don’t we? Call them anyway. And call again. Again.
