Michael Pfleger and about 50 supporters locked arms and blocked metal detectors and elevators inside a state building in downtown Chicago to highlight their cause Wednesday...Another Radical Cleric
Protestors are calling for an assault weapon ban and stricter background checks for people wanting to buy guns.
Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore urged young people on Wednesday to engage in civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants without the ability to store carbon.So both of them encourage breaking laws they don't like until more government controls over private lives and activities are implemented. Snuffy even "said he succeeded in everything except getting arrested," and could Reuters have stuck their nose any further up Gore's uh...carbon emitter?
On the surface, civil disobedience sounds like a fine continuation of an American tradition. What was Thoreau's major premise in his defining work?
"That government is best which governs least"...OK, so what happens when someone who's not connected suggests he'd like to disregard laws he opposes just like the big boys--and does so to call for less government instead of more?
Oh. Never mind.
You need to understand Marxist and the useful idiots that follow them.

A hundred little Nuremberg Rallies. 100% emotion, 100% fact-free.
ReplyDeleteIf WE did one theyd field the entire police force and have the National Guard en route. One day we may have to find out. Emails don't seem to be doing it.
"Chilling effect on political speech" is an understatement.
ReplyDeleteMarxist/Fascist, same difference and not just who's ox is being gored no pun intended. Algore and Obama want Gubb'mint to enforce (and hopefully with a bailout, buy) his laws.
ReplyDeleteThe Left sees "Law" as a living entity as much as the Constitution, informed by _T_ruth which is really _t_ruth - the post-modernist relativity of truth, a malleable truth that means whatever they want it to mean - it's the receiver-centric model of tying interpretation to meaning.
As a post-modern World Citizen kinda guy, where a thing means whatever he interprets it to mean, the Truth becomes a physical article of the Ministry of Truth - and as such is owned by the State, all legally and copyrighted like a Scientologist’s screed - nailed-down like that "falsity" is any alternative to the written definition, and you’ll be found Guilty as pre-ordained, of violating copyright.
Compare with civil obedience: acting within the law on a matter of principle, but attracting unwanted official attention anyway.
