The candidate of change, the shining proponent of a "new way" in national politics, says that you aren't allowed to bring a sign to his rally. So much for the right of free political speech. To add insult to injury, this rally was held at the publicly funded University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. So, now the government is lending the weight of its authority to squelch free speech. So, where is the hew and cry about this unAmerican activity? Did the media even note this heavy-handed policy?

But, it is all true nonetheless. The rally was held and weak-spined school officials bent over and meekly accepted the rules derived from the fascistic penchant of the Obama campaign with its anti-first amendment proclivities. Some few small voices questioned this oppression of American rights, but for the most part no one seems to have noticed that Virginians had their Constitutional rights quashed that day.

The French mathematician/philosopher Jules Henri Poincaré once wrote that “to doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.” This is the principle you violate here. If you discount an entire work because of a single misspelling or error in grammar you are acting foolishly. To “doubt everything” in the piece because of a single misspelled word is not very smart.
