Redskins Forever

What does this have to do with the First Amendment?



 President Barack Obama says he would "think about changing" the Washington Redskins' name if

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic. [...]

The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent.  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr..;
Schenck v. United States1919
he owned the football team as he waded into the controversy involving a word many consider offensive to Native Americans.

Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names such as the Redskins offend "a sizable group of people." He said that while fans get attached to the names, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place.

I occasionally make an effort, especially after Sunday Mass, to love my enemies, but when it comes to Clownbama I'd   have to masquerade as the village idiot.  I really do see Obama as a psycho who HAS invaded my home, and at gun-point  forced us to hand over our titles of deed and wealth—and then— for good measure,  raped my wife and children (3 boys and a girl all), and on the way out reminded us- "I won the election." So, you see,  it's impossible;  but I do what I can.  In this Redskins case, I have just two words.  First Amendment. 


I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.Voltaire
The United States Supreme Court case Schenck v. United States in 1919, seems to be the genesis for what have become outrages against  First Amendment,  like "Hate Speech" laws.   I would argue that the court was wrong in 1919,  because it involved  the distribution of  flyers opposing the draft during World War I.  Clear and Present Danger?  I don't think so; I see free speech.  Plus, note that Holmes expressed the caveat "falsely" shouting fire in a theater ... .

Anyway, Liberals have latched onto  that "Fire in the Theater" euphemism to enact "Hate Speech decided by whom?" laws.    The dangers are  obvious, and inherent.  At the heart of the professional anti-Redsikin rabble's argument  is a suggestion that calling a team  The Redskins is as offensive as calling them The Niggers.  I hardly see the social parallel, but that's no never mind. 

I have a First Amendment right to call anybody, anything,  that does not infer libel or slander, whether it upsets you or not.   Voltaire's "..I'll defend your right to say it  ... "  was ubiquitously taught  when I was schooled, but now?   If enough people feel the same way about The Redskins as do the savage left, they can call them the Reds, or any g'damn thing they like.  But ban Redskins legally?  What Voltaire said. Sheesh!

STFU Barry.

Ron "I Metzger in St. Louis: sent me this.  I think I used it before, or at least saw it before, but is there a better Memorial Day picture?  I know, I'm a day late, but I'm engaged in some heavy lifting these days, and my  time isn't always my time (just like people who work).  Anyway, we could use more symbolic tribute like this considering some Drudge itemry I saw yesterday.

Happy Pearl Harbor Day Everybody!
The linked Raw Story's headline is  "Conservatives freak out over Lena Dunham’s peculiar Memorial Day tweet."  Interesting categorization wot, that suggests "non conservatives"  could care less, which I feel is certainly the case.  I don't have to say that Lena Dunham is not alone in her generation (Gen Y)  when it comes to being undereducated re: anything that happened before she was born, do I? Good.

And this corollary
Am I still the only person to think ending the universal draft was terrible, even disastrous  policy in the long term? 

And so what if there are no living veterans?  Duh.

A group of international scientists is sounding a global alarm, warning that population growth, climate change and environmental destruction are pushing Earth toward calamitous — and irreversible — biological changes.  [LATIMES]



Here's how Anthony Watts dealt with this one.  Well, you can read it I'll just post a few of the comments which will give you what you need to know (it's all  more contrived climate crap):

Nature, record heat, tipping points, Hansen’s opinion on weather noise, and all that

  1. Fred 2 says:

    Why doesn’t the meme, “We are doomed, doomed I say. So give me more money and control over your life” seem convincing?

  2. stpaulchuck says:

    1895…. we were just coming out of the Little Ice Age. Today’s temperatures are higher than that. *shock* *surprise* [/snark]

    In point of fact we are merely approaching the Middle Ages Warm Period temperatures. That was a time period which was absolutely great for humans and other creatures, yet we’re supposed to be horrified. What a crock of BS.

The LA TIMES, On the discovery of  phytoplankton (carbon dioxide munchers -) which the AGW lobby had already listed as goners, this amusing insight.

So, yes, the phytoplankton could have been growing for a long time, Bontempi said, which she finds "fascinating."

"Things are happening on this planet that we never knew existed."

But let's not let this "setback" keep us from our appointed rounds,quoth Algore, and his merry band? Again from Anthony Watts.

Jo Nova chronicles the snapping of the Gergis hockey stick

Note: I’m reposting this excellent essay from Jo Nova to give it a wide as an audience as possible. Be sure to bookmark her site if you have not already. – Anthony

300,000 dollars and three years to produce a paper that lasted three weeks: Gergis

The paper might have been scientifically invalid, but it was a box-office success. The headlines were everywhere


Blah-Blah- Blah.  I know that most of you are also utterly confounded by the AGW climate lobby's refusal to acknowledge that they are thoroughly discredited.  Take James Hansen, (when news first leaked that Tipper discovered Al was screwing someone else, everyone's first guess was Hansen),   head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.  How does he keep his job?  How can he possibly have any standing left in the scientific community?  The same goes for Michael "Hockey Stick" Mann.  Rather than carry coal to Newcastle,  I'll suggest that this  is an epiphany.

Torquemada, Hansen/Gore, Richard Dawkins


Ben Stein examines the issue of academic freedom and decides that there is none when it comes to the debate over intelligent design.  Stein's not arguing for or against "intelligent design" (which is not "creationism"), but rather the "scientific community's response to any debate. And, I do mean any.  What we find are the same academia mindsets (the debate is over), catch-phrases (the debate is over),  and  penalty for straying outside the box - excommunication.  Trust me on this one - at least begin watching, or bookmark it.

This is the whole movie.
