DC Libs Happy to Sign Petition Banning Conservative's Free Speech

The left is always a bundle of contradictions. On one hand leftists set themselves up as the ultimate in "tolerance" and a guarantor of "freedom" to do as one wishes.

Most leftists imagine themselves interested in making sure everyone is free to do as they wish to the point where that they are almost libertine about it. Until ... until it comes to the freedoms of those they oppose. Then, all of a sudden, their tendency toward fascist group-think comes out in full force. Joe Schoffstall of the Media Research Center highlighted that liberal "for me but not for thee" tendency in a recent video in which he asked a handful of Washington D.C. liberals if they'd like to sign a petition that bans conservative's free political speech. Naturally, they were happy to do so.

Apparently the Obama White House is not so fond of the Boston Herald. Well, maybe "not so fond" is too mild. More like furious.

So mad, in fact, that the paper was banned by the White House from covering local visits by Obama and crew. The Boston Herald said "pretty please" and Big Brother O's crew said, "not allowed!" And Orwell would be saying, "I told ya so."

National Journal Makes No Attempt To Hide Bias In Report On Net Neturality

Today's award for the most biased report goes to National Journal for its left-slanted piece on Obama's warning to the House GOP that he will veto any budget that cancels his FCC attempt to take control of the Internet away from private industry.

In his very first paragraph for the National Journal, Josh Smith dives straight into the left side of the pool - and in at the deep end yet - by accepting the left's premise of what the FCC's net neutrality regulations are meant to do.

In a blow to the autonomy of the media it has been discovered that employees of two Old Media outlets are the happy beneficiaries of hundreds of thousands of federal dollars from an Obamacare slush fund.

CBS and the Washington Post have both taken large payments from Obama's Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), with the Post getting $573,217 while CBS has received a whopping $722,388.

WaPo's Ezra Klein Absolves Radical Islam, ‘Young Christians' Perpetrate ‘School Shootings'

Journolister and Washington Post writer Ezra Klein is another one of those liberals in the elite Old Media trying to pretend that there is no Islam in terrorism these days.

Oh, Klein is desperately trying to find that Christian terrorism no matter how wild a stretch it is, sure enough. Like President Obama and his Deputy National Security Advisor, Denis McDonough, Klein is trying to take criminal acts unconnected to religion perpetrated by Americans and morph them into "Christian terrorism."

Al Gore's much ballyhooed Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has recently announced that it will no longer be engaging in carbon trading, an activity that was the sole purpose that it was created. This is an utter failure of purpose...

Criminal Complaint, Violation of the Patriot Act, Section 802, Naming Jimmy Hoffa, Joe Biden, and Barak Obama

Jimmy Hoffa, in his address on September 4, 2011, Jimmy Hoffa instructed his union members to "take these son-of-a-****** out" and declared war on the TEA Party.

Such statements constitutes numerous acts of domestic terrorism under section 802 of the Patriot Act. Given that Mr. Hoffa holds a position of power and influence in the Teamsters Union, and that the Teamsters have previously been active in inflicting acts of violence, I am therefore concluding that Mr. Hoffa has instructed his union members to inflict further violent acts.

The Chatham Daily News reported two dozen angry bar owners protested the smoking ban at a recent Chatham-Kent council meeting, by staging a huge smoke-in at City Council.

What makes the story even more ironic is that many quoted were not even smokers themselves. But all have suffered greatly from the smoking ban.Robert Brown, the owner of Mr. B's in Tilsbury told the Daily News: "For the last three months my business is down 41%." Mr.Brown is a non-smoker. Audrey Hackett, also a non-smoker, is the owner of the L.A. Roadhouse in Bothwell for the past 21 years. She was quoted as saying she was on the verge of losing her business.

Mitt Romney's reliance on neoconservative advisors - as well as CFR advisors - is a matter of fact, not a mere suggestion.

Both President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will address the Clinton Global Initiative (established in 2005 by President Bill Clinton) on September 25, an indication that both candidates are attempting to better articulate their positions on international affairs. An NPR report on the meeting noted: "The latest polls show Obama's numbers dropping on foreign policy. Romney is trying to exploit that weakness."

Supreme Court: For right to remain silent, a suspect must speak

Just being silent is not enough. The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that a suspect's silence during informal police questioning can be used as evidence of guilt unless the right is invoked.

Prosecutors can use a suspect's silence during informal police questioning as evidence of guilt at a subsequent trial, the US Supreme Court said on Monday. In a case with important implications for individuals at the early stages of a police investigation, the high court said that a suspect must verbally invoke his or her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent to prevent police and prosecutors from using any resulting silence and incriminating body language as evidence of guilt during a jury trial. "The Fifth Amendment guarantees that no one may be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself; it does not establish an unqualified right to remain silent," Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court.
