Are We Running Out of Time?
american thinker ^ | May 25, 2015 | Eileen F. Toplansky

In writing about his beloved Cuba, Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo asserts that "totalitarianism is as much about tyranny as about [the] manipulation of time." He knows only too well how the Castro brothers have destroyed the hopes and dreams of the Cuban people for more than a half century. And now in a devastating blow and under the guise of rapprochement, Barack Obama continues to support this communist tyranny. And the Cuban people continue to suffer and weep for true freedom.

While sadly, we Americans continue to squander it. A 2013 poll revealed that "40 percent of Americans said the First Amendment 'goes too far' and 56 percent of Americans refused to support a right to say things that are racially offensive (47 percent refused to support a right to say things that are offensive to religious groups)."

It is particularly alarming when any attempt to muzzle political speech occurs because as James Madison opined "the right of freely examining public characters and public measures, and of free communication among the people thereon . . . has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right."

It bears reminding that one of the first acts of Obama's presidency was to return the bust of Winston Churchill; in retrospect it is clear that in an obscene and perverse twist on Churchill's famous 1940 World War II quotation about the Royal Air Force that "[n]ever in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" that never in American history have we had a President who has done so much with so few to harm so many. Obamacare has hurt millions and each day more damaging news about this travesty emerges in the form of the following:

Those videos are all from different areas.....back when the videos first came online (2010-2012), they had a much, much, much, much different sound, all of them had a different sound.

This new video that came out with new interest has audio played over the old videos that much likely came from the ending of the movie “Red State.”

What they don’t mention in this article is that support for the 1st amendment varies greatly depending on race.

Again it all comes down to immigration and cultural integration... without that everything else is moot, and the left understands this.
