The New Inquisition

How long will this country remain free? Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it. But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about such things?

Meanwhile, attempts to shut down people whose free speech interferes with other people's political agendas go on, with remarkably little notice, much less outrage. The Internal Revenue Service's targeting the tax-exempt status of conservative groups is just one of these attempts to fight political battles by shutting up the opposition, rather than answering them.

Another insidious attempt to silence voices that dissent from current politically correct crusades is targeting scientists who do not agree with the "global warming" scenario.

Congressman Raul Grijalva has been writing universities, demanding financial records showing who is financing the research of dissenting scientists, and demanding their internal communications as well. Mr. Grijalva says that financial disclosure needs to be part of the public's "right to know" who is financing those who express different views.

You knew this was coming if you used the word inquisition.

I’m with the Congressman. The American public needs to know who has been on the receiving end of billions in taxpayer grants to forward the warmist agenda.

While we’re at it, we can also look into the environmental cronyism too.

One thing is for sure - not enough people love liberty to be bothered with defending it.

But the list of people who are waking up and willing to defend freedom is growing by the day. Let’s hope it’s not a day late and a dollar short.

How long will this country remain free?

I think that time has already passed. We have the appearances of freedom.

We The People have been screaming at our representatives to stop the invasion of illegal aliens for decades.

Grijalva is a Stalinist plain and simple. If these petty tinpot tyrants keep this up, they’re going to find out the hard way they’ve gone too far.

[[Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it.]]

So in other words freedom is over then. We’ve had our constitutional rights taken from us little by little over the last how many decades, and people haven’t fought back yet- then along comes a _resident who blatantly violates our constitutional rights, breaks the law, attacks Christians and conservatives blatantly and without any shame, is trying to thrust a MASSIVE unscientific global warming agenda on us without ANY proof that man’s piddly 0.00137% CO2 in atmosphere is the cause- has attacked anyone who tried to stand up to him- on and on it goes, and no one has done a damn thing to stop it- now he’s going for nationwide gun controls and militarizing the police force, and we STILL haven’t done a damn thing-

Again, [[Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it.]]... the time to defend freedom has long since come and gone-

[Bob434]

and note, I’m am not saying just give up because it’s useless, but I am saying much of America just doesn’t give a crap anymore because they are now the ‘gimmedat’ society that thinks the gubmint is going to take care of them and pay all their bills

Heretic laws...

But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about such things?

They can't even stop looking at their phones long enough to keep their car from crossing the center line.

They obviously don't care about freedom if they don't care about killing themselves and taking out somebody else with them.

Amen to that!

Along with the funding of the homosexual and feminist agendas (Marxism) and communist curricula (hate God/Christianity)——all which are incompatible with Natural Law Theory and God’s Laws (the Constitution and our “Justice” (virtue) System)..

All this Marxism is to destroy our Constitution (already jettisoned) and put in Stalin’s Rule of Man (made-up IRRATIONAL, UNEQUAL, UNNATURAL “laws” which are Null and Void according to Justice John Marshall—father of Jurisprudence. We will have totalitarianism then—and all children’s minds will be controlled exactly like Wundt/Fichte/Watson planned over 100 years ago.

Limit Language, and you limit worldview. (Minds like Brave New World kids-—cradle to grave zombies incapable of profound thinking like our Founders and grandparents. Operant-conditioned children (like most of today’s young public school graduates) (Puerile, immoral, irrational, Limbic mind-controlled, where Reason and Logic never can enter).

When Laws cease to be Just, they cease to be Law and our “Just” Laws were removed with Oliver Wendell Holmes, jr-—who took Virtue (literally) out of Justice (Can’t do that!!!!) It is why all the insanity in law exists now (Up is Down and Vice is Virtue). Right Reason has been jettisoned for irrational (evil) Marxism.

Marxism is ALWAYS antithetical to our Constitution which has Individual Natural Rights only from GOD which are UNALIENABLE——we can’t even give them away if we wanted. (Euthanasia/Abortison/sodomy-—all incompatible with “Just” Law and US Justice System.
