This makes me think...

Here is my 2 cents worth. I am not calling names and pointing fingers here. Just raising the questions that I had and showing what I know.

The question is why is Obama so upset about this cartoon on the cover of the New Yorker? (That is the leftist “I am smarter than you” magazine).

Who do we know in the world gets all bent out of shape about cartoons that depict them in a not so good light? Normal every day people? Christians? Muslims?

I know that I don’t care what other people think. I don’t care if you want to draw me in any way. Your opinion is exactly that and to each his own. But your opinion of me, unless I am close to you, means nothing to me. You won’t be able to hurt me because I know who and what I am.

Now with all these things being said. We have freedom of speech in this country (well at least we used to). If you want to say something about me, go right ahead. I may not agree with it but that is ok. If someone wants to stop you from saying whatever it is, I will be on your side allowing you the right to say it anyway. Because freedom is not relative; just like truth is not relative. If I allow someone to stop you from saying anything, then somewhere down the road they can stop me from saying something. And therefore speech becomes policed.

I don’t put too much stock in the wisdom of men. However Voltaire did have a particular quote that I have loved and repeat as often as I can. “I may not agree with what you say. But I will defend to my dying day your right to say it.”

This is the problem. The Leftists in the media and in Hollywood want to be able to say what ever they want. But when you want to say something that they don’t agree with they scream and holler and piss and moan. I mean they even go so far as to get you fired… (hello Imus). But you know that is just getting us back for slavery or something else the evil republicans have done in the past. Because we know that only dim - o - crats are for the people. Right?

(Here is a little secret that you may not know. In fact if you went to a college or university that is saturated by Libtards, you almost certainly don’t know this. The Republican party was founded by people that wanted to end slavery. In fact that was one of the original pillars of the party platform.)

I am not a Republican, I am an independent. But I am also a conservative first. And have some Libertarian leanings. I am for the freedom of choice as long as it only effects you (unless that includes killing innocent babies, then I don’t agree with your choice to murder). Just like I think Charles Mansen did not do the right thing. Murderers of babies are wrong.
