re: Sedition Act which banned the use of any “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the government

Which of course has been replaced with political correctness. Goes after the same speech, that which offends someone. And it's been expanded to include any kind of speech which offends, not just anyone but rather a ‘protected’ minority. If you are white, Christian and male you it's open season on you.

The double standard is staggering. Liberals do nothing but run their mouths, using the most insulting or demeaning words they can string together. Then they accuse the Right of being the hate mongers.

Did anyone else happen to catch Andrew Breitbart on the Rush Humphrey show yesterday? Wow! He sure let loose on the recently departed Lion of the Left. I won't even try to paraphrase what he had to say, but it was so refreshing. Hopefully I can find the interview online and link to it.

For the first time in my lifetime they liberals are being actively engaged, and it's through the graces of the new media. And they don't know how to handle it! They've gone through decade after decade doing their damage the Right has been too busy making the country run, so the liberals could be liberals, to take them on. Well, that seems to have changed. The liberal MO of going on the attack at the first sign of criticism or questioning their goals worked for a lot of years. At last the Right has realized they have to take on the Left and match tactic for tactic or there won't be an America, as we know and love it, in a few years.

I sense this Obama presidency and the near-panic rush to get so much done so quickly, all of it bad for America, is the Left’s Tet Offensive. They see themselves within striking distance of taking over America.

Someone is pulling the strings. And there's a string for each piece of the liberal left. A string for race, one for wealth, another for voters, and so on. Whoever is pulling the strings has managed to convince these disparate parties that THEIR pet project or goal is within reach. Truth is the puller of the strings couldn't care less about these people and their aspirations. The moment the takeover is complete every one of these groups will be told to forget their goals and fall in line behind the string pullers or they will be destroyed.

Man, I hate sounding like a dyed in the wool, old fashioned conspiratorial lunatic fringe charter member, but there's just too much happening too quickly for it be coincidence.

Your points are well taken and I think I can confidently say that there are many who agree with you. Of course we know that Soros is one of the “string pullers” and his minions of which there must be many.

You’re not part of the “conspiratorial lunatic fringe”, there have always been those who conspire to do evil. Oh, they don’t think it evil but it is. Hold up Scripture to what they are doing at it becomes very evident, very clear, who can doubt it?

Good points, I’m glad you’re out there, that’s why FR is so valuable.

Acts, Bills, and Laws, May 16, 1918
The Espionage Act of 1917 was amended by Congress the following year to not only target those who interfered with the draft, but also those individuals who publicly criticized the government — including negative comments about the flag, military or Constitution.

The revised law provided in part:

SECTION 3. Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States, or to promote the success of its enemies, or shall willfully make or convey false reports, or false statements, ...or incite insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny, or refusal of duty, in the military or naval forces of the United States, or shall willfully obstruct ...the recruiting or enlistment service of the United States, or ...shall willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language about the form of government of the United States, or the Constitution of the United States, or the military or naval forces of the United States ...or shall willfully display the flag of any foreign enemy, or shall willfully ...urge, incite, or advocate any curtailment of production ...or advocate, teach, defend, or suggest the doing of any of the acts or things in this section enumerated and whoever shall by word or act support or favor the cause of any country with which the United States is at war or by word or act oppose the cause of the United States therein, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not more than 20 years, or both....
United States, Statutes at Large, Washington, D.C., 1918, Vol. XL, p. 553 and following.

More than 2,000 prosecutions occurred under the original and amended Espionage Act, the most famous of which was that of Socialist spokesman and draft opponent, Eugene V. Debs, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

Both the Espionage Act and the Sedition Act were repealed in 1921.

“Man, I hate sounding like a dyed in the wool, old fashioned conspiratorial lunatic fringe charter member, but there's just too much happening too quickly for it be coincidence.”

The truth is that the radical leftist fringe has been working for decades to position themselves for what they see as the right time to “change America”. Listen to Glenn Beck. He's only beginning to uncover the extent to which Obama has installed openly communist party members all throughout his fiefdom. Your wildest conspiracy theories don't hold a candle on what they are doing in plain sight. And they will continue to actively destroy America while pointing at you and saying “right wing nutcase”. It's their Alinsky playbook.

It's not that I don't agree with you on this, but will just say I believe these people are too ridiculously anserine too pull it off.

Don’t worry you don’t sound that way, and you are not alone.

BTW:

This week, Beck has addressed this big rush to pass so many bills at once. He says they are deliberately trying to overshelm the system. If you have not been able to watch Beck, I suggest you get the text or video of his show; he is really connecting the dots. And it’s really chilling.

” , is the Left’s Tet Offensive “

You’re coming dangerously close to thinking the unthinkable, and saying the unsayable...

The Second American Revolution has been being fought since 1968, and we’re within a gnat’s whisker of losing it....

What we’re now being called to fight is the counter-revolution...

No, it’s not a coincidence. You are absolutely correct.

Someone is pulling the strings. And there’s a string for each piece of the liberal left. A string for race, one for wealth, another for voters, and so on. Whoever is pulling the strings has managed to convince these disparate parties that THEIR pet project or goal is within reach. Truth is the puller of the strings couldn’t care less about these people and their aspirations.
