Jim Wallis slips, tells the truth

This is Political Correctness defined: Dissenters are to "stop talking".
In other words: "Shut up," he explained.

Freedom of Religion and the Social Contract

The events of the last week have brought to our attention the freedoms enunciated in the First Amendment to the US Constitution, and how other jurisdictions don't extend the same protections. The Left is now calling upon suppressing freedom of speech that is "offensive" to Muslims. The irony is that they have it exactly backwards. If anyone's freedom of speech/religion deserves to be abridged, it's the Muslims themselves.
The First Amendment says two things about religion:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...

I see these two as a package deal: The Episcopalians agreed not to try to be the official state religion in exchange for the Catholics not having Inquisitions to punish heretics, etc. To participate in religious liberty, your religion has to allow that same liberty to others. If you believe you have the right to use violence against those who disagree with you, then we have the right to use violence to stop you.

Folks, we have to have such a landslide that it's beyond the Margin of Fraud, or they'll do the same thing in election offices this November.

I don't think I can disagree with a word of this:

Particularly the recent trend of using "BOGO" for "Buy one, get one half off," which I call "bogus", is annoying in the extreme.


Oh, and as long as I have my Language Martinet hat on, it's "per se", not "per say". Really, folks, if you're trying to use fancy words to make yourself seem smarter, and you misspell them, your plan fails spectacularly.
