If Obama and his ilk had their way, Republicans would be required to wear muzzles an red stars, and have identification numbers tattooed on our forearms.
Where is the LSM on this?
Are those prosecutors and sheriffs under that governor’s direct authority, that he can just fire them? They could be elected positions.
Ok, and so how many times on this forum have I said “I love my Governor!!”. Several. I’ve also said many times that I look forward to him being President some day, until an acquaintance of his family said he is done with politics, not interested in the nastiness of it all. All the more reason for him to be President if it weren’t for the nasty MSM and corrupt Congress. Oh well, it’s a sign of what our world is coming to.
Totally 100% agree.
I am heartened by Governor Blunt’s words.
But these people care nothing about WORDS.
It is ACTIONS alone which will stop this nightmare - if it can be stopped.
It is nothing less than Police State Gestapo tactics and has no place whatsoever in this nation.
Freepmail to you! But leaving work and heading to a barbecue, more later.
He should have ended with “anyone taking action to quell a citizen’s first amendments rights will be financial liable for their actions ON THEIR OWN. The Government of the State of Missouri will NOT defend or represent you in any way shape or form.
PS I have my pad of pardons standing by. Try it.
The response from 0bama will be along the lines of “It’s all a bunch of vicious lies, and if you repeat them, we will make sure you are prosecuted!”
What color for Obama? Maybe black and white shirts? /s
Absolutely the correct response.
These are ELECTED OFFICIALS. They can’t be fired by Blunt! I’m sure he would love to have that ability right now. The Attorney General is an Obama-worshipping boot-licker and is real tight with McCullough and Joyce. The state judiciary is dominated by Democrats. Only real hope for swift action lies with Catherine Hanaway, the U.S Attorney for Eastern Missouri.
Firing is one thing, especially if it was an elected position. That should require some form of impeachment. Suspension is different. Usually the governor is in charge of all law enforcement in the state, even if the prosecutors and sheriffs are elected. Perhaps Missouri has a different provision, but it would surprise me. One expects that the governor can tell any other official that he is suspended pending the outcome of an investigation. Since the governor didn’t say that, maybe he can’t.
It’s not just communism; its totalitarianism, which anyone that knows anything about Obama would expect anyway, after all he is a street agitator.
Right, perfectly nice statement by the Govenor but I would have thought he would have annouced an investigation and promise to see these scumbags prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if it was shown (as one would assume) they are using the power of their offices to intimidate and silence critics right to free speech.
Is New Mexico next? Of course, the dems have already taken over the election process, so maybe they don't need the intimidation factor here.
OBAMA
Thats not the Barak Obama campaign that I thought I knew.
CHANGE: The Messiah Plan:
1. Take control of the media (Check)
2. Challenge political opponents right to speak (Check).
3. Portray Capitalism as evil and a failure (Check).
4. Take their Guns (working on it)
4. Destroy political opposition through intimidation, coercion and force (working on it)
Result. The United Socialist States of the Republic.
Now if *I* say that, people would call me Mad Salamander.
[I knew I should’ve buffered criticism by picking a “mad” user name]....;-D
You all do realize that the only way this will stop is by armed rebellion? They will not give up nor will the courts help; I don’t enjoy typing those words but I don’t see any other alternative down the road.
