• Right winger, anti-government loudmouth Paul Weyrich now worries about the disappearance of the State. A bit late in the game, for the anti-gommit shills, no wthat they are in power, to lament about the loss of power of government, even if it is more "state's rights" than federalist.
• Contrast the above with aTypical Joe, who reports about an interview with Eamonn Kelly, President & CEO, Global Business Network and his vision of a new global state evolving in the future.
• Bigots hiding behind the Cross Call2Action protests yoga class. Citing the First Amendment's separation of church and state, this group is actively seeking that individuals or groups with perspectives different from their own be banned from discussing them in public areas, like elementary schools. That's curious, as I recall, Call2Action was agressively pushing their own cultish agenda items at the North Carolina Legislature last May, as part of an organized rally against the rights of gay folks to have equal rights. Go figure.
The right to be intolerant of others. Good Pilgrims they. I suppose they forgot the other component of the First Amendment, Freedom of Speech.
• While on the subject of intolerance Orcinus has, in my opinion, one of the best written analysis of the Toledo Riots. Unlike the pious protestations of the Neo-Nazi group that planned a demonstration [that didn't sem to really occur] then incited the melee, Neiwart's piece provides more than adequate background on the motivations of the racist group's leader, former communist sympathizer, Bill White.
• While on the subject of Freedom of Speech, it'll be interesting to see how the Supreme Court rules on the ability of whistle-blowers to report wrongdoings without being punished themselves.
• That's it for now. Oh yeah, pix credit for the wrath of God goes to Radical Russ. ¶ 08:31
