"It is dangerous to uphold freedom.
That is the lesson we should take".
--Harry
Roque, Law Professor, University
of the Philippines
It
is indeed a sad day in God’s green acres when a university lecturer in an
erstwhile American colony exhibits more principled intestinal fortitude in
defending the U.S. Bill of Rights than evinced by the White House and the Obama
regime’s various tentacles of power from the State Department to the Justice Department.
Prof.
Roque, at the risk of antagonizing his employers and losing an ongoing gig
on human rights, insists “during a lecture on constitutional rights . . . to
teach his students about freedom of expression.” It seems he understands better than our Lecturer
on Constitutional Law in a President Obama that the First Amendment also
protects the most dysfunctional expression of even the most idiotic and incoherent
ideas, regardless of whose feelings might get hurt in the process for deeming
it “insensitive,” Muslims definitely included.
The
State Department puts out TV ads promoting by denunciation this so-called incendiary
video. We spend borrowed money from China to proclaim that the United States
government does not unconditionally support the Bill of Rights amendments to the
Constitution, especially if it offends Islam’s religious sensibilities. Admittedly, this is par for the course for
Liberal Democrats a.k.a. Progressives. And
some Americans want four more years of this regime? Go figure.
I
can only conclude that either the pollsters are deliberately lying to promote
an agenda of their own or the national polity has irretrievably gone dyslexic.
As
I emphasized earlier
elsewhere, [c.f., pp. 220~222 ff at http://www.flirtingwithmisadventures.com/orderthebook.htm]
“That Barack Hussein Obama
ascended into the Oval Office is symptomatic of the political dyslexia that the
country has sunk into, thanks in part to sustained assault on American
educational institutions perpetrated by the so-called “Progressives,” that goes
as far back as the turn of the last century, and the philosophical ideas of
John Dewey, . . .
“The celebration of
decadence and the sanctification of victimhood and dependency are two sides of
the same currency coin which I dubbed as National Dyslexia. Not just in the
context of literacy in particular, but in the context of perception in general,
i.e., the difficulty if not outright failure to recognize and synthesize
visual, spatial, and auditory relationships into a coherent gestalt, reliable
and replicable perceptual representation of the outside world.”
That
there are no “spontaneous” (to borrow the regime’s parlance) eruption of mass
protests in the streets of Washington, DC and other metropolitan areas expressing
outrage at the sight of the American Flag being burnt and trampled upon in the Islamic
world, and demanding that the Obama regime, at the very least, honor its oath
of office to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United
States,” has been proof positive that the Obama regime has successfully diminished
the country’s expectation of what America can and cannot do.
It
is a sad day in God’s creation when Old Glory is reduced to a groveling apology
for what it used to proudly stand for by a constitutional scholar and community
organizer to appease the sensibilities of his Islamic heritage.

It is quite obvious that the Obama Regime lied to the American people on what really caused the violence that resulted in the death of Ambassador Stevens. The Regime is covering up the total collapse of the Obama Doctrine by perpetrating a lie. The none-Fox-media, to borrow Ann Coulter’s parlance, has been covering up the cover-up.
ReplyDeletePresident Nixon lost his job for the same offense. Where is the outrage this time?
That rioting on the street to demand that Obama come clean on the incident has not ensued indicates one of two things. It can be a tribute to American patience and perseverance in insisting that we are a civilization governed by laws not men. It can be also incontrovertible evidence that the country has been so jaded in its sensibilities, overwhelmed by its moronic ignorance, incapable of being offended like a drunk drowning in its own vomit.
