Ignoring Castro's Crimes

The darling dictator of the left has imprisoned independent book lenders in Cuba for making available the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and books such as George Orwell's "Animal Farm." The American Library Association has refused to respond to pleas to condemn the imprisonment and the crackdown on free expression.

Castro should run for President of the United States. He'd be leading the primaries now if he did. The Democrats can get a judge to declare the law saying you must be born in the U.S. to be President declared unconstitutional. The ninth circuit court volunteers. Watch out Hillary!

Freedom of Speech?

Harry Hammond held a sign that said: "Stop Immorality, Stop Homosexuality, Stop Lesbianism," and had a reference to Jesus.

OK, so it's not a politically correct sign, but is it really hurting anyone? Maybe just their conscience.

About 30 or 40 angry people gathered around him: "There was a struggle," Tomlinson said. [Hammond] himself was subjected to a number of assaults. Soil was thrown at him and water poured over his head. Someone tried to seize the sign and he was knocked to the ground." No doubt, anti-war peaceniks.

"But there is no suggestion he physically assaulted anybody," Tomlinson said. "He was the victim of the assault, not the perpetrator."

Nevertheless, Hammond was arrested for breach of the peace. He was charged and convicted under the 1986 Public Order Act for displaying a sign which was "threatening, abusive or insulting within the sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress."

This happened in England, no way it would ever happen in America, right?

Britain's (aptly named) High Court has ruled he was "properly convicted" of a criminal offense.

The High Court judges decided the restriction on Hammond's right to freedom of expression under the European Convention on Human Rights had the legitimate aim of preventing disorder due to the crowd's reaction to his sign, the British Press Association reported.

This is part of the European socialism the Democrats are trying to bring bringing to America, folks, do you really want it?

I saw the beginning of David Letterman last night and he said it was the 4th anniversary of his heart bypass surgury. That was 4 years ago! I remember when he went through that and if anyone had asked me I would have said it was last year. I still can't believe it wasn't last year, where does the time go? Could he have been joking?

Speaking of time, I liked this article: Turning Back The Clock: It's Not A Bad Thing
