Feds suggest anti-Muslim speech can be punished

Posted on by

Islam BeheadsFrom 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.

Gun crime has plunged, but Americans think it’s up, says study

Posted on by

Obama-Gun-ConfiscationFrom — of all places — the Los Angeles Times:

Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show.

Yet few Americans are aware of the dramatic drop, and more than half believe gun crime has risen, according to a newly released survey by the Pew Research Center.

In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half.

For those of you who just tuned in, let’s repeat that last sentence:

In less than two decades, the gun murder rate has been nearly cut in half.

Continuing:

Other gun crimes fell even more sharply, paralleling a broader drop in violent crimes committed with or without guns. Violent crime dropped steeply during the 1990s and has fallen less dramatically since the turn of the millennium.

The number of gun killings dropped 39% between 1993 and 2011, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported in a separate report released Wednesday. Gun crimes that weren’t fatal fell by 69%. However, guns still remain the most common murder weapon in the United States, the report noted. Between 1993 and 2011, more than two out of three murders in the U.S. were carried out with guns, the Bureau of Justice Statistics found.

But here come the results of indoctrination by the American Media Maggots, revealed:

Despite the remarkable drop in gun crime, only 12% of Americans surveyed said gun crime had declined compared with two decades ago, according to Pew, which surveyed  more than 900 adults this spring. Twenty-six percent said it had stayed the same, and 56% thought it had increased.

But, from the Department of Redundancy Dept:

Experts debate why overall crime has fallen, attributing the drop to all manner of causes, such as the withering of the crack cocaine market and surging incarceration rates.

Really?  You mean actually putting people in jail may work — ?

Florida already wants to make Anger Management classes mandatory for ammo buyers.

What the Demorats and Leftists don’t want to acknowledge is that there is a definite correlation between gun control and black people control.

Because it’s not about gun control, it’s about People Control.

“We live in a society of wolves.  You do not fight back by creating more sheep.”

I already wrote about “Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs.”  Because I am a sheepdog.

Evidence indicates that guns prevent crime.

My Rules of a Gunfight are here.

To confirm: the number of guns are UP and crime is down here.

The Heller decision here.

US gun-grabbing history here.

How the American Media Maggots view guns.

The UN definitely wants your guns, here.

How to shoot a handgun accurately by Massad Ayoob here.

Finally, a brief summary of federal gun control in the United States here.

So, ask yourself: if the statistics don’t bear out an America Gone Wild in terms of rampant gun violence, then what’s the point of stricter gun control laws?

Correct: because it’s not about gun control, it’s about People Control.

Obama Blames U.S. For Gun Violence In Mexico

Posted on by

From RealClearPolitics.com:

“Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum.

Unspoken was the fact that those so-called “deadly guns in Mexico” also sourced from the US government itself, via the “Fast & Furious” program under BATFE.  Univision in Mexico also discovered additional information about how the US government more fully armed the Mexican drug cartels.  Thank you, Mr Obaka, for your lies spewed directly upon the sovereign soil of Mexico on Friday.  A refresher for us all:

As with all else on the planet, whatever ill that occurs is the responsibility and fault of the United States of America.
Yes, the US is the root cause of all gang violence in Mexico.  Yes, the US is the root cause of all the gun violence in Mexico.  Yes, the US is the root cause of all the poverty in Mexico.  Yes, the US is the root cause of anyone in Mexico having a firearm in their possession.  If Mexico wanted to stop foreign gun violence, perhaps they should build their own firearms manufacturing facilities.  Then the drug cartels could take over these factories for their own ends and simply cut out the middle man.Let’s take a step back.  Ultimately, what is Mr Obama doing here?  I say it is this:

He is speaking directly to the new voters of the United States.  He is speaking directly to the new Tit-Sucking Underclass about to be created when amnesty occurs, and when Illegal Mexicans are allowed to be seated on juries and decide criminal and civil cases involving their drug-dealing and law-violating friends.

Because, you must ask, just how will these new Mexicans vote when amnesty passes and they remain in the United States, and when Obama and the Demorats continue to provide Free Cheese?  Why yes, that would be correct: Demorat.

Mr Obama was doing nothing more, on Friday in Mexico, than speaking to his newest conglomerate of voters.

More apologism, more breast-beating, more America bashing in order to pander and subjugate the country for the demographically-increasing Mexican Illegal Invader vote.

I feel comforted.

Don’t you?

MSM in state of apoplexy over rumors Koch Bros interested in Tribune Co.

Posted on by

From the BlackSphere.net:

For far too long the Main Stream Media has smugly assumed they had all print and broadcast news sewn up neatly in their Lefty pockets.

But for the past week rumors that the Koch brothers are taking a long look at buying the Tribune Company has spread like wild fire in a pine-beetle ravaged forest.

Media Matters Joe Strupp writes that the scary idea of the brothers buying Tribune is:

…sparking concerns from newspaper staff members that attempts to influence the editorial process in favor of their far-right political views may follow.

Among those concerned is Clarence Page, a top Chicago Tribune columnist, who said he would oppose a takeover of the paper by David and Charles Koch because of “the fact that they seem to be coming in upfront with the idea of using a major news media as a vehicle for their political voice.

Moderates or even — gulp — Rightists getting “control” of another media outlet?

Say not so!

Biden: ‘The President Is Already Lining Up Some Additional Executive Actions’ for Guns

Posted on by

Obama DictatorBecause all of my readers — but unfortunately the minority of Americans — recognize that the country is already ruled by Obama’s Executive Orders Fiat.

This article only confirms what we know.

From the WeeklyStandard.com:

Joe Biden says the president of the United States is preparing to take “executive actions” to deal with guns. 

BuzzFeed reports:

Vice President Biden told White House allies in the gun control fight Thursday that President Obama will be announcing new executive actions on gun violence in the days after the Senate voted down a gun violence bill.

On a conference call with “stakeholders,” Biden told gun control advocates that the fight is not over and that eventual action on gun control will come. Press were not invited to the conference call; a participant provided BuzzFeed with access.

 

“Look I know you’re going to say that I’m just being an optimist and I’m trying to put a good face on this. But you know I’ve been around here a long time and we’ve already done, because of you, some really good things,” Biden said. “Number one, the president is already lining up some additional executive actions he’s going to be taking later this week.”

 

After the Newtown shootings, Obama took a number of executive actions to expand research into gun violence and other areas favored by the gun control community. He took the actions without Congressional approval, leading to outrage by some conservatives.

At one time, we used to have an actual American Press that would be absolutely SHOCKED that ANY president would rule by EO only.

Now, conspicuously absent, the American Media Maggots continue on their glorious journey of fellating Mr Obama daily and purposely killing or minimizing stories that would place their own guilt in jeopardy.

Because now, ruling by fiat is perfectly A-okay with our press in the United States.

I cannot begin to express my disgust.

But, as my readers, you knew this was only a short matter of time.
