Step One: Eliminate the Homegrown Freedom-Haters First

Here is an e-mail recently brought to my attention by a friend whose aunt had urgently—and approvingly—forwarded it to her. I should explain that although my friend is one of the most extraordinarily wonderful people I have ever known, her family is, well, not.

For example, my friend’s grandmother once told her that she should not be friends anymore with a girl from the grandmother’s small town in Kansas because she’d had a “polka dot baby.” [!]

In any case, my friend was absolutely horrified by this further example of her extended family’s hard-core, bigoted ignorance and passed this along with a shocked and angry note, including counter-argument. (This just goes to show that a strong person can overcome even the most pathetically weak, spineless, evil-minded relatives.)

Read the e-mail below for your illumination about what the civilized world is up against. If you would like to protest this type of hate-mongering by buying the EID stamp, please click on the picture of the stamp for a link to the U.S. Postal Service Web site.

CHRISTMAS STAMP

How ironic is this? They don’t even believe in Christ and they’re getting their own Christmas stamp, but don’t dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property? 

USPS New Stamp

This one is impossible to believe. Scroll down for the text.

If there is only one thing you forward today…..let it be this!

I am excited to see a member of the mainstream media (even one whose background is mostly as a sportscaster) has come around to the view that, as Murrow said, “We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.” Here are some exerpts from Mr. Olbermann’s fine commentary on October 19th, the first day after our rights of habeas corpus and our commitment to the Geneva conventions were handed over to a government and administration who keep secrets from us, take people to secret prisons abroad, and takes no accountability when things go wrong. To see the full article and some of Olbermann’s other commentaries, click on his picture – it’s a link.

‘Beginning of the end of America’

Olbermann addresses the Military Commissions Act in a special comment

By Keith Olbermann
Anchor, ‘Countdown’

…Tonight have we truly become the inheritors of our American legacy.

For, on this first full day that the Military Commissions Act is in force, we now face what our ancestors faced, at other times of exaggerated crisis and melodramatic fear-mongering:

A government more dangerous to our liberty, than is the enemy it claims to protect us from.
