Power of Darkness on "free speech" |
If you protest the government overreach (on almost everything) or support some schlub in Nevada who wants to graze his cattle, or mine gold or build a home, you are not worthy to be called an American these lefty nuts scream. If you call your self a patriot or want to salute the flag or say the Pledge of Allegiance, these lefty nuts call you an extremist! If you say dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the right thing to do in ending WW2 you are a war monger! These lefty nuts are everywhere!
But unlike the lefty nuts, we on the "right" side of the political spectrum say HEY! Let's debate the issues. We want more speech to counter speech. We enjoy pitting our ideas up against the lefts. But alas, here in America where we have the right of free speech ingrained in our Constitution, the left wants you to shut up and go away. They say it is better to lock you away, lock your words and deeds away, rather than expose people to those thoughts and deeds of freedom. Even today UC Irvine student council voted to ban the American flag from the common area at their school. Can't have the flag there, it might piss off the illegals! Students of good patriotic fervor though are fighting back today.
The left here in our little county is constantly whining about just about everything. Hell they have the State Legislature by an almost a "super-majority" and every statewide elected office yet they want it all. Nevada County is home to people who like to debate, to argue, to speak their truths, yet that does not seem to work for the nutty leftwingers. Those people want you to shut your pie holes! Don't say anything that we don't agree with. Just fall into "jack boot left" and all will be good.
But nope, those people spewing "free speech" just won't listen! My goodness, they must be Patriots? That is not good. Those patriots might want a strong America. Maybe a strong military to protect us. Perhaps those patriots would actually own a gun! You know that piece of metal protected under the Second Amendment? Jeeze, what a pack of patriots do we have here?
The discussion about Terry Lamphier and his fall from grace over alleged "child porn" charges on the county computer have been a real insight into how the left thinks. I have decided long ago to allow the system to work its wonders and I have kept from judging Lamphier. I'll let a real judge do that. But people are people and when there is something like Lamphier's troubles, people will talk and most people will "judge". This leads to spirited debate on did he or didn't he. Sometimes the debate leads to action like a new law or regulation. But mainly these things are seen through eyes of morality and ethics. These topics and the people involved will always be talked about. Here in Nevada County, the Democrat Party apparatus has decided to support the case for Mr. Lamphier.
That is just fine with me. He is their friend and confidant and they feel compelled to help him raise money for his defense. That activity is being questioned by others and today Union columnist Georg Boardman wrote about it. Apparently the leading democrats here are withholding the true information from those they want to get donations from. What does this say about these democrats? It appears to me they have made a conscious effort to withhold the reasons for the arrest because it may scare off donors. If that is not the reason then why did they not state the charges are for "child porn"?
But the local lefty blog, Sierra Foothills Report, will have none of it. It is worse to have an anonymous author telling the truth about the democrats fundraising than it is for the withholding of the truth by the democrat fundraisers. Is that screwed up or what? Boardman asked the same questions and as usual the lefty nuts of the community go ballistic and whine and complain. I think their world is all backwards. These lefty nuts did the same thing when Rush Limbaugh mentioned Sandra Fluke back in the 2012 election cycle. He mentioned Fluke was testifying in Congress that it was her right to have the taxpayers pay for her contraceptives while she was going to college.
Rush said HEY! Why should the taxpayers pay for your condoms etc. If you like to have lots of sex, you pay for your equipment. Well of course the left did not want to debate the Rush comments, they did their best to get him off the air! Rather than debate should we pay for Sandra Flukes sexcapades, it was more important to boot the guy that asked the question. That is what they do. The lefty nuts can't win the debates, that is clear to me. So, shut off the opposition.
Same with the hearing the Board of Supervisors is affording the people pushing for the State of Jefferson. One local leftwing blogger says his objections are not the substance of the presentation but the actual presentation! Rather than allow our elected officials the right to hear this proposal, the liberal blogger says don't even allow them in on the agenda! Gosh, it may be taking up the valuable time of the Board he says! Yeah, so what? The Board represents all of us and all of us have the right to be heard. We can petition to be heard. My goodness do these local liberal bloggers even know what the Constitution says? Apparently not!
I call these kinds of liberals and democrats the "power of darkness". They want no opposition to their words, ideas and policies. They want total control. Even our local newspaper is attacked constantly by these liberals. They call it the "Tea Party Gazette"! I say that works for me. The Union allows all comers to write. The local bloggers from the left, especially Sierra Foothills Report, do not allow dissent. Only left wing gibberish. At least the right of center blogs allow all comers and that alone tells me and others who the people touting fairness really are. You want censorship and complaints about free speech? Then lefty blogs and publications are here for you. You want openness and freedom of speech? We are here for you too. Pick your favorite!
Pelline is a idiot and lazy. First, Nevada County is not governed under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) as such law is a federal law. Nevada County is governed under the California Public Records Act (CPRA). As such, both Pelline and The Union have equal rights to the information about who narked on Terry Lamphier. Instead of getting off his ass like a real journalist, he would rather complain that his former employer is not doing it for him. I cannot believe that Ackerman ever hired such a fool to work for The Union...
ReplyDeleteI can't beleive such a journalistic wannabee actually was our Editor either! You are correct about FOIA etal. It appears the smartest bear is not too smart.
DeleteYet another of how Pelline does not have an adequate grasp of what he is talking about. When you gonna file that "FOIA" request tough guy?
ReplyDeleteTodd, the information should be free. How could itn't not be?
ReplyDeleteBeats me Woody. They work for us and unless it is secret agent stuff it should all be available on request. Who works for who?
DeleteIf Pelline does not know the difference between federal and state jurisdiction then he should probably sit in the corner and keep his mouth shut. Also defending an outright lie from the NCDCC is typical Pelline. "I know they lied, but I need to change the subject to the anonymous person who narked on TL so you do not keep looking at the NCDCC lie about what TL was charged with." More Rhetoric 101 from the self-proclaimed master. What a nut job.
ReplyDeleteOur local leftists (Pelline being their leader) are anti-free speech, anti-rights of citizens to petition their government, anti-second amendment, and now apparently child porn equals "misuse of a county computer." The dark ages were the time prior to the Enlightenment...before governments were by the people, before free speech, before freedom to bear arms...and liberals (Pelline chief among them) say that conservatives want the Dark Ages? What a farce.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion here is correct and you have stated why liberals are such a danger to freedom.
DeleteAre you kidding? The liberals want to take us back to a time when we were ruled by dictators and oligarchs. The first dictator is Obama. We need a strong, humble president that refuses to abuse power and adhere to the Constitution.
ReplyDeleteYes, like GW Bush who lied and started the longest war in US history, and used interrogation techniques that international law defines as torture. We need someone who will ignore those stupid international laws and blowup to hell anyone who disagrees with American policy like those lying Iranians. We need a president and a congress who will do what the big corporations want and screw the American people. The average American doesn't contribute crap to the country's well being, they are all a bunch of leeches gaming the system for handouts and trying to take money from the job creators. Who cares if the jobs they create are in other countries, we Americans can buy all those wonderful and cheap consumer products made by Chinese girls making 12 cents an hour with our welfare checks and other handouts like retirement benefits and social security.
DeleteTell us how you personally would fix the things you listed.
DeleteI would nuke Israel. None of this middle east jihad would have ever happened if they would have given the Jews Germany for a homeland instead of Palestine. The whole neighborhood was pretty quiet before the Jews moved in and pissed all of their neighbors off. Besides, Germany deserved to become a Jewish state more than a bunch of rag heads who probably didn't even know the holocaust happened.
DeleteThat is a pretty naive idea. The jihad is on because they hate the infidels, all of us, not just Israel. But I do like your idea of nuking everyone we don't like. If you are going to do Israel, who is our ally, we should continue with everybody who is not. That is a pretty big list and we should decide how close we should come to home. Cuba? Venezuela? Maybe if we start in the Middle East with the folks who have sworn to kill us, some of the other bad actors will shape up. The ultimate big stick.
DeleteWe are Israel's ally, they are not ours in the sense that they would sell us out, or anyone else for that matter, in a heartbeat if it came down to it. Israel is like our buds the Saudis.
DeleteWe have to be honest with our friends and Israel is one. Surrounded by a billion Muslims, this little country needs us. We must live up to our agreements. Liberals don't and there you have it. They will sell out every time and run and hide.
DeleteDid you know I hate the union newspaper
ReplyDeleteThat's your right. But me, I like and enjoy The Union newspaper, just like the vast majority of community. Seems The Union has been around for 150 years or so I believe. Too bad some are filled with so much hate.
DeleteI too enjoy the Union. They have been great getting the word out and promoting a couple of the non profits I'm involved in.
ReplyDeleteThe Union is our county paper. We need to treasure it and keep ot viable.
DeleteThe Union is a business. It is "ours" only in the sense that it does its business in our community. One may choose to treasure it, to despise it, or whatever, according to how one feels about its performance. To assert that, "We need to treasure it..." is to lose sight of its role as a business in general and specifically as a newspaper.
ReplyDeleteI disagree. Freedom of the press must have been pretty important back in 1787. I stand by my statement and encourage others too as well. The "big" picture is always made up of all the "little" pictures.
DeleteI treasure our local newspaper, The Union. 150 years of service to our community!
DeleteGood article Todd. It's rather funny that the hate the Union bunch read it so that they can ridicule it. If they got their way we wouldn't have our community newspaper where all viewpoints can be read. What's so stupid is that when you destroy someone else's freedom to express themselves you're eliminating yours too. What goes around eventually comes around like what happened in Germany. BMW
ReplyDeleteThat is right. I wrote this ditty to high-lite their scariness about freedom. Remember, Himmler was just a chicken farmer.
DeleteHey if I got fired from The Union (or got busted in possession of child porn) I would crawl into a whole and hide. These guy wear their failures like a liberal badge of honor. Astounding.
ReplyDeleteOh my, yet another typo from the FUE. The FUE lives in the biggest class house in all on Nevada County!
ReplyDeleteThe FUE "just just" doesn't get it! LOL!

Wanda,
I don’t think you get it. The Union is a private business that, for whatever reason, chooses to run these letters. It reflects on their own judgment, just just the letter writer’s.
Reply
is there a e missing in judgment? LOL.
DeleteOh my, a second mistake in the FUE's post, this guy calls himself a super, award winning journalist? More like a super whining hate filled blogger.
DeleteI challenged him to a fifty yard dash. LOL!
DeleteOops, I checked the dictionary, there is no "e" in judgment. One for him ! LOL!
DeleteThe low wattage comments on this blog show us of the power of darkness in Nevada County.
ReplyDelete"Pelline is a idiot and lazy" duh
shouldn't that be pelline is an idiot and lazy?
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is wanda? the FUE responded to his sock puppet wendy talking to wanda. He cant seem to remember who is fronting for jaba the FUE. SUE the FUE for anything you all want. That's the Nevada city way.
ReplyDeleteSue the Fue, I like that! Sounds like a campaign slogan. SUE THE FUE!
ReplyDeleteApparently Pelline and all his sock puppets are too good for the people of the community. Elitists! Too funny!
DeleteAlso, the nutball Bruce Levy who posts on Pelline's blog is never booted for his personal and vile comments about the Union or the local conservatives. If that isn't proof that Mr. Purple is really Mr. "deep blue" then the place is really stupid. LOL!
Ragging on some other guy with a blog because you don't like what he says is boring to read. Are you trying to censor his free speech through embarrassment or intimidation?
ReplyDeleteNo just yours.
DeleteRagging on some other guy with a blog because you don't like what he says is boring to read. Are you trying to censor his free speech through embarrassment or intimidation?
DeleteSo don't read it.
You sound more like a "Food, Wine, Art" kinda guy anyway....all the culture you can cram into your waiting gullet with similar force and flow rate to that delivered by a diesel powered cement pump......followed by a wafer thin mint!
Go ahead...it's wafer thin!
And printed out of the county!
DeletePrinted by low paid, undereducated po-dunk good old boys!
DeleteGiven that lefty jeffy bans anyone from his liberal lament land who wins a debate and a pattern of retaliation shows it is in fact lefty jefffy that is censoring free speech. The only way to counter his sputterings is on the free speech blogs since he only tolerates those in agreement with his distorted world view. Its his own fault that he is such a fount of unintended giggles and material for jokes. But its ok if he engages in embarrassment and intimidation right mr. anonymous? Hey are you the lamphier anonymous? His whole idea that the union should do what lefty jeffy says immediately is hilarious. They did not do what he said when he worked there so why should they start now? Remember it was Yuba net and the union who did the records request but you don't see him battering Yuba net every hour on the hour do you? The information in the prosecution files are only available to the defense through discovery. That's why lefty prattles on instead of filing his own records request.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the way he presents himself the indicator of someone who is privileged? People like him cannot relate to regular Americans since they live in a different world of silver spoons.
DeleteIn Mr. Nasty's case it is not a silver spoon, it is a wide mouth funnel. Or maybe a solar powered injection system! ROFLMFAO!
ReplyDeleteNow now, he cant help his size.
