The Last Free Country Left on Earth

The 'Spirit of '76' in PSJ

Is the United States of America the last free country left on earth? Sometime it seems so.

Have you ever wondered why we have a First Amendment, and other countries don’t? This important piece of our law, the Constitution, guarantees us (in order) freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom to assemble and petition the government for relief of our grievances. No other country has these guarantees.

Which doesn’t stop Democrats and other elements of Far Left Crazy from trying to take them away from us and either erase them altogether or else reserve these liberties to themselves alone. Hence a “Disinformation Governance Bureau,” “hate speech” rules, and all the rest. (Hint: It’s “fundamental transformation”!)

There are countries in the, ahem, “Free World” where I’d be silenced for the things I write. Tell me I’d be safe in Canada, the UK, or Australia. All of these countries had more freedom not that many years ago.

Our country’s founders had to have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. They hazarded their lives to win these freedoms, and so they could pass them on to their descendants. The leftids would replace these our natural rights with BS made-up pseudo-rights (unlimited abortion, LGBTQetc, transgender, illegal immigration, and on and on and on)–and above all, a supposed “right” to fornication.

There’s global government sniffing around, in search of vulnerabilities. Global government whose grand panjandrums think of most of us as “useless” or “worthless” people, fit only to be kept quiescent with drugs and video games.

We need our Spirit of ’76! Yes, we still need it after all these years; and always will.

Judge Socks It to University: Pay Christian Students $1.9 Million

The payments app is freezing and completely removing people from its  platform for not reading their 27-page-long user agreement.

Ready for some good news, for a change?

When two Christian student groups at Iowa University declined to allow “openly gay” sodomites to lead their groups, the looniversity decertified the groups… because obviously Christian students mustn’t be allowed to have Christian beliefs, let alone practice them.

A federal judge has ordered the looniversity to pay almost $2 million in damages (https://campusreform.org/article?id=18597). He also wondered aloud what on earth made “officials” there think they could get away with blatant religious discrimination.

Well, schiff, your honor–it’s only what every Far Left jidrool of an “educator” thinks should be done! If we locked up every “educator” who felt that way… Hey, tell you what: let’s try it.

Note that this kind of discrimination is only leveled at Christians and Jews. They wouldn’t dream of telling a Muslim student group that they had to have non-Muslim leaders. They wouldn’t do it twice, at any rate. Nor would they ever consider telling the campus BLM chapter to bring in white leaders.

Well, this time they got their fingers burned.

It’ll have to do until we can our university system back down to size–say, no more than 10% of what it is now.

Five More Pages–and Time to Shift Gears

Well, I’m as cold as a mackeral now, but I got five more pages done and the next two days are supposed to be warmer, so maybe I’ll be able to finish writing my second climax for The Witch Box: I’ve got a good start on it.

But now I’ve got to shift gears and write my Newswithviews piece for the week. If you think this is easy–! Well, think again.

I’m going to write about Scottsdale and the scandal ignited by their district board of education–board president and his father (!) stalking parents who don’t like the board’s mask mandate and unlawfully collecting private information on them, etc. That any member of any school board should ever do a thing like this is astounding. Who do they think they are?

We are not subjects, we are not serfs, and they are not our masters–unless we allow them to be.

Let’s see if we can defend our freedom. We’ll wind up like Australia if we don’t.

Florida County Fined +$3.5 Million for Imposing ‘Vaccine Passport’

“Not on my watch, sunshine!”

Florida state law prohibits requiring proof of having received a COVID shot as a condition for living everyday life; but Leon County went ahead and did it anyway. Seven hundred county employees got the shot; fourteen who chose not to, got fired.

So now the Florida Dept. of Health has fined the county over $3.5 million for its actions in violation of state law: no “vaccine passports” allowed (http://www.floridahealth.gov/newsroom/2021/10/20211012-fdoh-issues-notice-of-fine-to-leon-county.pr.html).

America is not Australia. Not yet, it isn’t. (Stay tuned for my next post!) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would continue to protect the rights of citizens to make their own medical decisions.

The Dept. of Health has notified Leon County that a check or money order would be acceptable.

Democrats, who love all forms of coercion, are wailing and gnashing their teeth over this. I don’t feel like quoting any of them, so I won’t.
