Whaaat?

‘..This follows the case of Jeff Olson, who chalked messages such as “Stop big banks” outside branches of Bank of America last year. Law professor Jonathan Turley reports that prosecutors brought 13 vandalism charges against him. Moreover, the judge in the case recently prohibited Olson’s attorney from “mentioning the First Amendment, free speech,” or anything like them during the trial…’

    That article makes for chilling reading, now every bureaucrat and paper-pusher in the government has a SWAT team standing ready to beat you into line.

    I guess this is the price you pay when you reward a fellow who pisses on the constitution of your nation while you cheer on.

      It sure is. The good people pay the penalty while the O supporters get the freebies….

    Youtube is filled with hours,no days worth of video of police,DHS,IRS etc shooting innocent people,shooting their dogs,beating people who’s only crime was asking questions on and on.
    WTSHTF it will be open season on them,good,bad or otherwise they all will be targets thanks to the hate the bad ones have fostered among the public.

      Agreed.

      I am very much hoping to see some people acting on this part of the Declaration of Independence –
      “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles…”

      I read that document, and I am in AWE of how **incredibly far-sighted and intelligent** those people were. Words cannot express my feelings here.

    Judges have become the left’s hammer, pounding people between the anvil of regulations and the “law”.
    Time for the bastards to swing…..

    Read about this incredible example of how the US has lost it-

    http://reason.com/blog/2013/07/05/nevada-family-says-police-occupation-vio

    Guy would not allow the police to use his home to conduct surveillance on nearby properties so they invaded and arrested him.

    Why the hell do these kind of things keep happening when they’re so against what America once stood for?

    Somebody over there is not doing their damn job.

    Judges.

      Agreed.

      With the lawsuit-happy culture prevalent in the US, I would have expected to see the lawsuits flying thick and fast with this kind of stuff going on. That doesn’t seem to be happening.

    Like I said before, “Elect a Communist president and you get Communism.”

    WTF did the voters back in 2008 and 2012 expect from a Commie bastard?

    I remember watching “Reds” the 1980s movie about Jack Reed, the only American buried in Red Square, who defects to the Communist side in the Russian Revolution and then becomes upset when the Commies start censorship of his writings.

    WHAT DID HE EXPECT? :evil:

    Ah, yes, The Goodies…welfare…that can be cut off the day its no longer useful for El Presidente.

    It’s like the guy who went to live with the bears in Alaska – and guess what? One day for lunch they made a manwich of him.

    This was all predicted years ago by myself and many fellow bloggers like Redbaiter and KG.

    The only question then and now is “When is the revolution?”

    So far Lady Liberty sleeps while chain after chain is placed on her by the Communists.

    The charge is vandalism. Why couldn’t the prosecution just argue that the guy is still free to express his opinion, but not by chalking the sidewalk? Or is that too obvious? http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

    @Oswald: Thanks for the memory bump – I read that S.F. book by Heinlein in the early 1960s under the title of “Revolt In The 21st Century” – or something like that…

    What can I say? Heinlein was one of the great prophets of science fiction that I enjoyed reading as a boy – I liked “Starship Troopers” the best, especially his idea of allowing only military veterans the right to vote and hold office – he illustrated well the concept that only an enlightenment oligarchy based on duty, honor country could rule a republic.

    “The Master had the fall of the USA at the 2012 election (there were no elections after that)”

    Yes, I think we have seen our last free election in America…Unless the Heinlein was right and do have a Second American Revolution.
