Thanks for the heads up on this one, Black Agnes!

Excerpt from this Wall Street Journal article:

If at first you don't succeed, get some friends in high places to shut your opponents up. That's the latest Washington power play, as Democrats and liberals attack the Chamber of Commerce and independent spending groups in an attempt to stop businesses from participating in politics.

Since the Supreme Court's January decision in Citizens United v. FEC, Democrats in Congress have been trying to pass legislation to repeal the First Amendment for business, though not for unions. Having failed on that score, they're now turning to legal and political threats. Funny how all of this outrage never surfaced when the likes of Peter Lewis of Progressive insurance and George Soros helped to make Democrats financially dominant in 2006 and 2008...

Could this be described as the Hussein dictatorship?

Could this be described as the Hussein wannabe dictatorship?

Thank you, too, Black Agnes!

Thanks for the ping, and for the excerpt, nutmeg!

“Since the Supreme Court’s January decision in Citizens United v. FEC, Democrats in Congress have been trying to pass legislation to repeal the First Amendment for business, though not for unions.”

First amendment for me, but not for thee?
