As the elections draw closer, it is a good time to reflect on the liberties and rights that we enjoy in America. The most fundamental of all the rights that we enjoy is contained in the 1st Amendment.
In what is clearly a victory for free speech and the free expression of religion, the City of Atlanta has agreed to settle with Kelvin Cochran for $1.2 million in damages and attorneys’ fees. For those who may not remember him, Mr. Cochran was the Atlanta Fire Chief who was suspended in November, 2014 for writing a book on his own time that expressed biblical views on marriage and sex. He was later fired in January, 2015. This happened at the height of the hysteria that said everyone must approve of same sex marriage.
Early voting has begun in some states for the 2018 election cycle. As we do so, it is important to remember the recent activities of the Democratic Party. In particular, everyone needs to remember what the Democrats and their allies in the media did to people like Brett Kavanaugh, Mark Judge, Leland Keyser, etc.
Jack Cashill has posted a report over at American Thinker regarding the whole sordid Kavanaugh affair. See it here.
Jack is willing to grant that there may be some truth to Christine Blasey Ford’s story. However, he lays out in detail both the material and non-material deceptions in her testimony and her letter. He also shows how such evidence that exists exonerates Brett Kavanaugh. ...
Are the 2018 mid-term elections the most important in America’s history? It seems like every election is supposed to be the most important. I do not think these mid-terms are the most important elections. The most important election in the country’s history was 2016. It is hard to imagine how different the country would be if HRC had won that election.
A feel-good story for those of us who need one after all the negativity of the last few months.
A remarkable event occurred in June in western Nebraska, a reflection of a city’s history, pride and appreciation for the military. The spirit of the North Platte Canteen resurrected itself.
On TV recently Hillary Clinton claimed that the only way to return civility to American politics is to put Democrats back in power. Apparently Mrs. Clinton has spent considerable time out in the woods communing with the spirits. She ignored the fact that the Democrats had just tried to destroy Judge Kavanaugh’s reputation – based on what? A couple of unsubstantiated sexual misconduct accusations from nearly four decades ago, a bunch of nonsense from a high school yearbook, and some whiny complaints about the man’s tone in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee!
Violence, slander and defamation are the new normal for the Democratic Party. If you do not like the outcome of a particular vote, you riot. If you do not like the verdict of a trial, you rampage through the area. If you do not agree with the political viewpoints of Republican congressmen, you try to assassinate them. If you do not like the outcome of a confirmation vote, you break into the offices of Senators and you assault them or their staffers. If you want to influence a Senator’s vote, you don’t advance your ideas about the issue, you threaten the Senator’s staffers with rape. These are some of the ways of the modern Democratic Party and their followers.
