A quadruple does of hypocrisy, anyone, with a festoonage of lies and more lies?

Meaning: you can’t require proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
From the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot on their own require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make signing up easier.
Welcome to your New United States, America, where Scalia votes in the majority as well.

Again, the Obama Administration — which “promised” to be the most transparent in history — is proving itself the complete opposite: the most OPAQUE in history and the most strident in keeping information from the electorate.
From MotherJones (Of all places!):
In the midst of revelations that the government has conducted extensive top-secret surveillance operations to collect domestic phone records and internet communications, the Justice Department was due to file a court motion Friday in its effort to keep secret an 86-page court opinion that determined that the government had violated the spirit of federal surveillance laws and engaged in unconstitutional spying.
The violations and abrogations of our Constitution and Bill of Rights go on and on and on, one abortion after the other, and still you have to dig and scrape and pry and unearth to discover what’s going on in your very own back yard, your very own country!
Further, the American Media Maggots, like thousands of domestic cats, do their very best to paw the sand over the daily piles of steaming shit created and served up by Mr Obama in DC. They’re happy to do it. Overjoyed.
Then they become packed and bristling with umbrage and scarlet outrage when the obvious is pointed out: their mouths and faces are coated with years of old and cracked DC shit along with the fresh strands of fecal materials dripping from their very teeth.
Never before have I seen an American press so willing to become such abject coprophages for Washington DC. It is beyond disgusting. And never have I been so disillusioned by the American electorate for installing this pseudo-black American Destroyer not once, but twice — mostly because they want more Free Cheese.
This is detestable. Beyond shameless. I lack further abominable words at this point.
I say — and this administration proves me correct — that if you thought the political damage stemming from Washington is bad, just wait another week.
It gets worse.
Keep pushing, Mr Obama. I don’t think America will like what’s just over the horizon.
Gird thy loins, America. Be prepared.

As Texas Fred wrote in his post, “A warning from a former Muslim,” Islam has patience. And drive. And violence. They are the 800-pound gorilla of religions, cold, cruel, barbaric, single-minded. Read Fred’s post first.
Some people may be asking, in light of the recent declaration that Feds suggest anti-Muslim speech can be punished, why such emphasis on the negative aspects of one tiny religion when there are so many other issues of greater importance requiring focus in today’s world? And, further, won’t this get me in trouble?
The second question is easiest to answer: because I believe in my First Amendment rights. Once we lose our First, everything else means nothing. That is why it is the FIRST Amendment and why the Leftists and “Progressives” by way of the Demorats work so hard to eliminate our Second Amendment protections. Once the Second Amendment is gutted and emasculated, the rest of the Bill of Rights — with the First Amendment clearly “first to go” — can be tossed aside with abandon. Then the nation truly becomes one populated by Groundlings, Serfs and Proles. This doesn’t just work for Obama, folks; any old and staid Republican could potentially do the same thing. No one, ladies and gentlemen, gets my First Amendment.
The first question is also an easy one to answer: because Islam has the West in its gunsights. Literally and figuratively. And the so-called “good” and “moderate” Muslim keeps silent and quaking in his boots for fear of the True Islam. My phrase “Islam is as Islam does” isn’t merely some trite coinage; it’s the absolute truth. Do the reversal: substitute the word “Catholic” for all the death and carnage committed at the hands of and in the name of Islam and imagine what the state of Catholicism would be today.
People say that, after all, these kinds of thing can’t happen here and that Texas Fred and I are simply religionists and terribly over-reactive. One tiny point: people also intimate that Texas Fred and I are racists and to that I laugh out loud: the dolts and cretins making this remark are themselves ill-educated and give away their obvious poor public school days: Islam is a religion and not a race. Such goobers.
It can’t happen here, you say?
Really? Watch:
Ah, nothing like the goodness and kindness of Leftists and Islamists working in concert to eliminate the truth regarding Islam. As so clearly illustrated by Texas Fred’s guest writer.
Plus this:
You think the First Amendment isn’t already threatened? You think that Islam doesn’t already have a foothold in America?
Then you would be foolish.

P.S.
See two linked articles about the Portland event, here and here.
From Josh Gerstein in Politico:
A U.S. attorney in Tennessee is reportedly vowing to use federal civil rights statutes to clamp down on offensive and inflammatory speech about Islam.
Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, was quoted by the Tullahoma News this week suggesting that some inflammatory material on Islam might run afoul of federal civil rights laws.
“We need to educate people about Muslims and their civil rights, and as long as we’re here, they’re going to be protected,” Killian told the newspaper.
While threats directed at individuals or small groups can lead to punishment, First Amendment experts expressed doubt that the government has any power to stop offensive material about Islam from circulating.
“He’s just wrong,” said Floyd Abrams, one of the country’s most respected First Amendment attorneys. “The government may, indeed, play a useful and entirely constitutional role in urging people not to engage in speech that amounts to religious discrimination. But it may not, under the First Amendment, prevent or punish speech even if it may be viewed as hostile to a religion.”
“And what it most clearly may not do is to stifle political or social debate, however rambunctious or offensive some may think it is,” Abrams said.
A conservative watchdog group, Judicial Watch, accused the Obama administration of using federal law to specifically protect Muslims from criticism.
So I suppose Mr Killian wouldn’t much care for my blog.
Killian said Internet postings that violate civil rights are subject to federal jurisdiction.
“That’s what everybody needs to understand,” he said.
But be careful, sir, about that precious First Amendment. Because when you lose the Second, you naturally lose the First. And you, Mr Killian, are doing your best to hasten, concomitantly, the demise of the First.
Cut down from within.
Just as history has seen for many powerful nations, over the span of time.
Be very, very careful.
And you, ladies and gentlemen, be extremely protective of your First and Second.

P.S.
Because, after all, those people pictured above need to be protected more than you.
