Threaten to burn the Qur’an; you get a call from obama asking you to reconsider.
Organize a protest against obama-care in a national park; you get jail.
The latter example may become reality if obama’s Department of Justice has its way.
A recent U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruling stated that requiring permission to speak your mind in a national park is just plain B.S.
obama’s Justice Department, led by Eric Holder, are threatening an appeal of this ruling so they can control which words will matter.
This is the same Eric Holder who as U.S. Deputy Attorney General in May 1999 advocated for the implementation of restrictions and regulations on internet speech.
Now as top law-dog (and lap-dog) in the country, and teamed up with someone who thinks words matter only when they come from his mouth, Holder is threatening to withhold a basic American right from someone who may want to discuss which First Lady has had the biggest over-bite with other visitors to the African American Civil War Memorial.
obama’s government argued in this case that restricting free speech in a National Park preserves the “peace and tranquility” of the park.
Do you think obama’s government would go after Martin Luther King for bringing all those people to the Lincoln Memorial and disturbing that park’s “peace and tranquility?”
Oh, hell no!
Glen Beck? Perhaps this is at the cusp of the obama government’s attack on free speech.
Eric Holder has probably not met with any TeaParty members to discuss ways of preventing partisan-motivated violence, however, United States Attonrey General Eric Holder¸ who’s own website promotes “Open Government,” did hold a meeting on September 7, 2010 with members of an “interfaith” group to discuss his department’s commitment in protecting their speech…the meeting was closed to the press.
Open government.
Freedom.
Words matter.
