On Wednesday, April 12th, Comedy Central ran the second part of a two part South Park that was centered around American media censoring itself out of fear of Muslim retaliation. The authors of the show, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, made the purpose of the show quite clear and repeatedly had characters comment on the state of things in modern american media. The whole two episodes led up to one moment at which an episode of the T.V. show Family Guy was supposed to show an image of Muhammad.

This image was simply that, an image. If memory serves, Muhammad was supposed to hand Peter a salmon hat, whatever that is. Comedy Central, however, refused to air the image. Instead, a message informing the viewers that the image had been censored was aired.

The real kicker, though, is that at the last moment of the show, Comedy Central deemed it okay to air Jesus, the President of the United States of America, a gay man, a pregnant woman and just about anyone else you can think to make fun of crapping on each other, themselves and the american flag. What kind of a sick twisted world are we creating?

In the wise words of Kyle Broflovski, “You can’t do what [they] want just because [they’re] the one threatening you with violence… if you don’t show Muhammad, then you’ve made a distinction between what is okay to poke fun at and what isn’t. Either it’s all okay or none of it is.”

The decision that Comedy Central has made is one that I’m afraid the rest of the media will follow. We need to decide right now, do we just believe in freedom of speech or are we willing to defend it?

The Communist Party USA is providing “Immigrant Rights Action Packets” in English and Spanish! And they are blaming the poor living and working conditions in Mexico on us!

From their website:
“What are the reasons for immigration?
Increased immigration is the result of the declining living standards and job displacement caused by NAFTA and other pro-big-business policies pushed by our government.”

A few schools in Colorado have banned the American flag and any clothes that could be mistaken for being patriotic, like fatigues! This cannot stand. If I have the right to burn the flag of my own country I certainly have a right to WAVE it. Citizens of this country should not be punished when showing pride for the greatest country on the face of the earth. I really hope that this passes and that it is not the end of America.

“Bernard Siegan: Reaganite and University of San Diego law professor Bernard Siegan, died on Monday at age 82.

In a pathbreaking 1980 book, Mr. Siegan challenged the view set out by the New Deal Supreme Court in 1937 that property rights are somehow inferior to other rights and deserve lesser protection. Gail Heriot, a colleague at the University of San Diego, summarized Mr. Siegan’s thinking this way: “What’s yours is yours, what’s mine is mine, and the government does not have unlimited power to take that property or to tell us what to do with it.” Who could have given him such a crazy idea? It was James Madison, the father of the Constitution, who wrote: “Government is instituted to protect property of every sort… that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.”

V for Vendetta, a film based on a 1980s graphic novel, was released to theaters late last week and with it (for me at least) came confusion and frustration. What could have been a great film about the tenacity of free will and the unwavering human desire for liberty was twisted and mangled into an anti-Bush, Mulslim-loving fright fest. Even the author of the graphic novel wanted nothing to do with the film.

“He told MTV, ‘[My comic] has been turned into a Bush-era parable by people too timid to set a political satire in their own country… [The film] is a thwarted and frustrated and largely impotent American liberal fantasy of someone with American liberal values standing up against a state run by neo-conservatives — which is not what “V for Vendetta” [the comic] was about.'” (from the townhall.com movie review)

Sounds like someone screwed up.

“Well, I guess it had to happen. Several weeks after writing my “Queer Muhammad” column, I finally got a call from a Muslim extremist – one who mostly shouted at me over the phone in broken English. I have decided to reprint our conversation in today’s column, hoping that it will shed some light on how to deal with the fundamentalist Muslim disdain for free speech, not to mention the fundamentalist Muslim disdain for satire.” (more)

This from Peggy Noonan.

Please read the whole article. Its getting scary out there.

“Ahead of me, throwing bags in bins, is a young mother with a two or three year old girl. The mother is tense, flustered. Bags, bottles, a stroller to break down and get on the conveyer belt. A security agent yelling: “Keep your boarding pass in your hand at all times.” The little girl is looking up, anxious. All these yelling adults, and things being thrown. “My doll!” she says as her mother puts it quickly in a gray bin. “We’ll get it on the other side!” says the mother. She grabs her daughter’s hand roughly.

“Take off your sneakers!” a clerk yells.

The mother stops, hops, quickly removes her sneakers. Her daughter has already walked through the magnetometer and is wandering on the other side. She looks around: Where’s mommy?

Mommy gets her sneakers in a bin, on the belt, gets through the magnetometer.

I’m relieved. Her daughter holds her mother’s leg. They begin to walk on.

A TSA clerk shouts to another, “You didn’t check the sneakers. You have to put the sneakers through.”

The second clerk yells–“Your daughter has to go through again!”

The little girl is scared–What did I do wrong? I’m sorry, mommy.

The mother is tense, gets a look.

I lift my chin at the TSA agent, smile, and say softly, “Miss, that poor girl with the child, she is having a tough time. The little girl is scared and–”

“We are following procedures!” said the TSA agent. Her mouth was twisted in anger.

I nodded and said softly, “I know, I’m just saying–a little gentle in your tone.”

She looked at my ticket and smiled.

“You have been chosen by the computer for extra attention.”

“What?”

“You have been chosen by the computer for extra attention.”

Because of the current insanity raining down upon us (the civilized world) as the result a few political cartoons, I am done with Islam and all attempts to convince me that it is anything but an arcane dogma followed by murders and lunatics.

Where are the Islamic voices of reason? Murdered or in prison that’s where. Someone, anyone please tell me how they are any different than the Nazis in the 30s.

“Like the Nazis in the 1930s and the Soviet communists in the Cold War, the Islamofascists are emboldened by appeasement and submissiveness. Give the rampagers and book-burners a veto over artistic and editorial decisions, and you end up not with heightened sensitivity and cultural respect, but with more rampages and more books burned. You betray ideals that generations of Americans have died to defend.” —Jeff Jacoby

Marc Ecko’s Getting Up Banned in Australia, ATARI Answers Back – Xbox

“The Australian Government’s recent ruling to ban Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure is an ironic instance of Life imitating Art in that Getting Up takes place in a world where freedom of expression is suppressed by a tyrannical government. It is unfortunate that during this day and age a government will implement censorship policies which are tantamount to book burning practices from the past.”

There is no end to the amount of meddling with your rights that can be done in the name of “public health concerns”, by well-meaning do-gooders who love to pass legislation “for your own good”. I don’t smoke cigarettes, never have and never will. Yes everyone knows they can and probably will kill you. But so will too much fat, sugar, alcohol, salt, sky diving, driving fast cars, and maybe even dating fast women. Since when is it the government’s job to tell you what kind of business you can run? Oh wait I forgot, its their job to tax and control as much as possible. If there were a real need for non-smoking only restaurants and pubs, then market forces would create them. The key in this story is how the pub association lobbied for a total ban because they feared a partial ban would give smoking business a financial advantage. You see the problem is that if people are allowed to use their free will they might not make the right choices.

If the government wants to promote non-smoking restaurants and bars then they should offer tax incentives for those kinds of establishments, instead of legislating away business owner’s rights. What bureaucrats will enforce these new health laws, levee and collect the fines? No doubt it will be the Health Police. “Excuse me sir. Do you have a license for that Twinkie?”

No Danish Treatment for an Egyptian Newspaper

I promised you in my previous post to bring you the images of the Egyptian newspaper, Al Fager (as pronounced in Egyptian Arabic) that published the Danish Cartoons five month ago on Oct 17, 2005. Here is below the front page where the Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) cartoon from Jyllands-Posten was published.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Reuters) – Malaysia has slapped a blanket ban on circulating or even possessing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad after it closed a local newspaper for printing the same caricatures that have enraged the Islamic world.

In a short statement confirming its order to shut down the Sarawak Tribune, the government of the mainly-Muslim nation said it had issued the ban to ensure racial harmony.

Annan Slams Cartoon Publishers, Condemns Violence
By Peter Heinlein
United Nations
10 February 2006

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has criticized newspapers that have published cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Secretary-General Annan says he cannot understand why any newspaper would publish offensive cartoons of the prophet. “It is insensitive, it is offensive, it is provocative, and they should see what has happened around the world.”

Michelle Malkin: SUPPORT DENMARK: WHY THE FORBIDDEN CARTOONS MATTER

“Things came to a head over the past week. In Gaza City, Palestinian gunmen took over an EU office to protest the cartoons:

Masked gunmen today took over an office used by the European Union to protest the publication of cartoons deemed insulting to Islam. About five gunmen stormed the building, closing the office down, while 10 other armed men stood watch outside. One of the militants said they were protesting the drawings, one of which depicted Islam’s Prophet Muhammad wearing a turban shaped as a bomb.

Danish flags are being burned. Danish workers have reportedly been beaten. The country now faces an international boycott from Muslim nations.

While the intrepid newspaper has not apologized for printing the cartoons, it has issued a statement acknowledging that the cartoons “offended many Muslims, which we would like to apologize for.” Paul Belien at The Brussels Journal singles out the courage of Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who has refused to capitulate to the bullies:”

GUN CONTROL LAWS HAVE NO DISCERNABLE EFFECT ON CRIME.

So says a master summary of more than 50 studies reviewing the hundreds, maybe thousands, of gun control laws enacted since the mid-1970s.

Now before you go assuming that these findings were compiled by the National Rifle Association or some far-right wacko cult, know this: This was the conclusion of the Center for Disease Control, a FEDERAL AGENCY controlled by the undeniably gun-hostile Department of Health and Human Services…

Believe me, if there were any way in the Universe that this data could have been spun, twisted, phrased, and presented in a way that looked favorably on all the paper, ink, time, money, energy, grief, heartache, and infringement of personal liberty these laws have consumed and caused, it WOULD HAVE BEEN. But there was no such way – because all these laws have added up to is a whole lot of nothing…

In fact, there are many reliable, unbiased studies out there that indicate violent crime INCREASES as more gun control regulations are implemented!

Now don’t read me wrong, here. This Big Brother craziness is BIGGER than simple six-shooters. I’m writing this to you today so that you’ll realize that the very government you depend on to protect some group of rights you DO believe in (especially when it comes to your healthcare freedoms and medical options) could turn on you in a second….

And when they do, you’ll regret not having spoken up about your Second Amendment rights when you had the chance – whether you’re a gun owner or not…

Why? Because if the government is allowed to arbitrarily regulate even this most fundamental of constitutionally guaranteed freedoms under the guise of “public health,” imagine how easily they could take charge of everything else. Imagine every aspect of your life being restricted in the name of what THEY think is best for your health: Your cars, TV shows, foods, medicines, homes, property, and on and on and on…

Somehow, I think the Founding Fathers intended that YOU should make these choices for yourself. Because as this example so clearly shows, when the government gets involved in things, we get only waste, fraud, deception, deceit, and an ever-tightening fist around every freedom we take for granted.
