Free Speech and Criticism of our Government: In reply to Sister Paulette
Shalom sister Paulette,
I have asked several Serbs here whether or not they are against America or the American people or whether they hold ALL of us Americans responsible for what Bill & Hillary Clinton and George Bandar Wahabbi Bush did to Serbia and the Serbian people. The answer was a resounding "NO" and that they only blame "official Washington" and NOT America or the American people for the crimes of Clinton and Bush in supporting the Holocaust denying Tudjman HDZ Ustasha Nazi Croats and the Bosnian and Albanian Islamist Nazi mass murderers in ethnically cleansing over a 1.5 Million Serbs from Bosnia and Croatia/Krajina as well as ethnically cleansing the ENTIRE JEWISH POPULATION of Pristina [Kosovo] in Nazi SS fashion, along with nearly half a Million Serbs from their ancestral spiritual heartland: Kosovo and Metohija.
Nobody likes to see America or the American people atacked by pro-muslim Leftists and Liberals - especially me as I live in this great country and love America and my American brothers and sisters - but to say that we are not allowed to criticize our government in Washington for its anti-American and unconstitutional actions in supporting Nazi terrorist mass murderers like the Albanian KLA, the Bosnian SDA Izetbegovic Islamofascists and the Croatian HDZ Ustasha Nazis is a little draconian.
Sister Paulette, go ahead and criticize and condemn Putin, Medevedev and the Russian government all you like for its support of Iran but please do not fall into the same trap as our brother AryehYehudah did and start saying things like "Russia is evil" or "ALL Orthodox Christian nations are scumbags who should go to hell with the rest of the Islamo-nazi bastards"
You may or may not be aware of Julia Gorin - she is a conservative American of Jewish heritage and many of her posts are scathing in their criticisms not merely of Clinton and the entire Democratic party but also of Bush and the Republican party for siding with the Islamofascist terrorist enemies of America in the Balkans and Middle East.
Some here would probably describe Julia gorin's posts as "anti-American" or "America-bashing" but they are actually NOT about bashing America and the American people at all. It is about making sure that our politicians are held accountable and these crimes by our government's leaders and bureaucrats are exposed and that they do not get repeated over and over again with monotonous regularity.
Here are a few quotes by famous Americans concerning this vitally important issue concerning criticism of our government as it pertains to freedom of speech:
Shalom,
Joshua.
“The Framers [of the Constitution] knew that free speech is the friend of change and revolution. But they also knew that it is always the deadliest enemy of tyranny.”
“Paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell.”
Hugo LaFayette Black - American Jurist, Lawyer and Politician best known for his absolutist belief in the Bill of Rights as a guarantor of freedom of speech, 1886-1971
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (1858-10-27 – 1919-01-06), also known as T.R. or Teddy, was the 26th President of the United States (1901–1909).
"In every country where man is free to think and to speak, differences of opinion will arise from difference of perception, and the imperfection of reason; but these differences when permitted, as in this happy country, to purify themselves by free discussion, are but as passing clouds overspreading our land transiently and leaving our horizon more bright and serene."
"In every country where man is free to think and to speak, differences of opinion will arise from difference of perception, and the imperfection of reason; but these differences when permitted, as in this happy country, to purify themselves by free discussion, are but as passing clouds overspreading our land transiently and leaving our horizon more bright and serene."
"Difference of opinion leads to enquiry, and enquiry to truth; and that, I am sure, is the ultimate and sincere object of us both. We both value too much the freedom of opinion sanctioned by our Constitution, not to cherish its exercise even where in opposition to ourselves."
Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826)[1] was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776) was this nation's greatest champion of representative democracy and the rights of man. He was our most eloquent spokesman on the founding principles of American self-government and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States.
