Heaven help us and save us from being ruled by those who mean to impose their “utopia” upon us, in the form of gags and shackles.

They teach us “tolerance” by their slander of our beliefs.

They teach us “free speech” by silencing our dissent.

They teach us “freedom of religion” by accusing Evangelicals and Jews of all the world’s ills.

They teach us “objective coverage and reporting” by fauxtography, staged events, phony sourcing, forged documents, parsed words, half-truths and distortions.

They teach us “government in the sunshine” by sealed documents, uninvestigated fraud, sweetheart mortgage deals, cooked books and pardons for donors.

They teach us “loyalty and patriotism” by incessantly trashing our motherland and finding “root causes” for our enemies and “root blame” for us.

They teach us “fairness doctrines” by hauling Mark Steyn before tribunals for addressing key facts, by allowing serial offenders to make a mockery of the UN’s committees on issues related to racism, peace and almost anything to do with Israel, and they have their gunsights set on Rush Limbaugh and Fox News…but form a protective shield around Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

They teach us each and every day, from the lecterns in the ivy covered walls of academia, from the clattering keyboards in newsrooms, from the backlots of Hollywood and from the halls of Congress and the Parliament…that utopia comes from the freedom one gains when he is forced to relinquish his rights, his honor, his voice and his beliefs.

Freedom comes from surrender. Honor stems from treason. Truth stems from slander.

Leftism has thrown down the gauntlet and slapped the face of mankind. The meek perhaps shall inherit the earth, but who should want what is left of it if we allow such shallow men to lead us?

Have we become so timid and myopic that we no longer confront obvious deceit? Are we so afraid of being “labeled” by fascists that we no longer confront their distortions and flagrant disingenuousness? Right is right, fair is fair, wrong is wrong, truth is truth. Or am I mistaken?

The Queen’s subjects in Canada, America, Australia may no longer be loyal to the crown, but have we forgotten our heritage in the common law, our common committment to our pursuit of freedom, justice and honor?

If we will not stand together for all that is right, then we deserve to kneel before all that is wrong. Rampant leftism is a disease spiraling into totalitarianism. Where are those who will stand up against it? The timid and the halting need not apply.

The proper response to this type of brutal repression is no longer non-violent. The madmen over there arrested a MP for revealing that ILLEGALS were being assisted by the Gov’t. Seems the lackeys of Islam will no longer tolerate the long established rule of law. We Yanks over here may be persuaded to re institute lend-lease for private firearms to private citizens (oops, I mean SUBJECTS) if they promise armed resistance to this group of Islamofascist thugs. I have a nice Rossi .38 Special I can spare. To paraphrase Sherlock Holmes: Watson, bring your service revolver.

So So SO Typical of the Left. I expect Obama’s crowd to pull the same crap here in the States. Clinton did it. And his old crew of lefty anti democracy Sociopaths has already infected Obama’s cabinet. Everyone going after the left on line better start using software that hides their identity. The left will be coming after you, most likely thru the IRS. Thats their Gestapo. But, realy what do you expect from people who ban Smoking In BARS, pull people over for not wearing a seat belt, require an eye exam to buy fake contact lenses,never fix the roads, raise the salarys of teachers who can’t teach, double your property taxes every few years, line the pockets of their political hack friends with your tax money and mostly think that the constitution of the Usa is a Flexible document that allows them to rape and pillage at will. THis is Blog FRee America poster the whale hiding somewhere in nazi jersey waiting for that knock at the door. Your Papers Please.

71. jonesy55: The most shocking thing for me was the use of the law that allows the confiscation of assets from criminal bosses against two fishermen who exceeded their quotas.

Even the very pro-Labour BBC were shocked by this outrage. I am not surprised by it, sadly. All socialist governments are Stalinist to a greater or lesser degree. New Labour pretended to be less socialist/Stalinist in order to get elected. Now they are simply showing their true colours.

The only good thing is that this means Labour is more likely than ever to get kicked out at the next election.

SO WHAT..?
There are 50,000 illegal aliens living in Langley Park, Maryland within site of the US Capitol Dome. ICE could arrest 10,000 on any
given morning in the Langley Crossroads shopping
center New Hampshire Ave/Rte 410. Everytime I hear about a “major” bust of 200 illegals in some remote rural meat packing plant I laugh in derision…Hey US Congress ..drive down New
Hampshire Ave North to the Beltway on the way home from work and check out REALITY.

African Moondog,

Immunity from arrest within the Palace of Westminster only applies to civil matters, not criminal ones. Parliamentary privilege does not stop the operation of criminal law, see Erskine May chapter 7.

Of more concern to me than his arrest is that Mr Green’s parliamentary correspondence, computer files etc were taken without the commons officials insisting that the police get a warrnt and prove that they had the legal power to do this first.

It seems that if anybody it is ultimately the Speaker who failed in his duty to protect the House and MPs. If the police were acting beyong their powers, it was up to the speaker to be aware of this, to claim that ‘he wasn’t told that the police didn’t have a warrant’ isn’t good enough.
