lazy hazy crazy days of summer...

those days of soda and pretzels and beer..

as we enter the Memorial Day weekend, the launch of summer vacations, bikinis, lazing on sunny afternoons....and remember the ones who fought for freedom....it's an important message..a message that gets lost in political posturing....and who has the poorest posture of anyone in the area? correct..the News-Press....
now I've been researching the connection among the rightwingers in town and it appears that Wendy is the chief mouthpiece for rightwing propaganda...

let's look at two stories about free speech: the first concerns a girly student at San Marcos high school who walked out of a class when the substitute teacher said some things about conservatives she didn't like..instead of challenging the teacher, raising her hand and voicing her opinions, this future beauty pageant contestant walked out and ran to mommy and daddy who connected her with the News-Press....and the News-Press ran the front page story "student outs bad teacher"....in this case free speech is seen as "indoctrination" by the conservatives..

then we have a front page story about "Little Man Hate" David Horowitz, who makes money by getting conservatives to pay him for spouting off at the mouth about the evils of Islam and liberal studies at universities...Horowitz used to be a liberal, then turned conservative when the money ran out...he's like a stray dog they adopted and bring out every and then to show the neighbors..but the title of the story was a "Night of Free Speech"....in the News-Press world, it's ok for Horowitz to have free speech rights, but not a lowly substitute teacher at San Marcos High!! in this case free speech is a good thing if it's hate speech!!

there is a connection between David Horowitz, the News-Press and a teabagger group in Montecito called Golden State Alliance for Liberty (GSAL), led by Mary Belle Snowflake, which I will explore later....

but lawful free speech demands everyone have a voice that will not be silenced, no matter how the speech offends you, troubles you, upsets you, makes you cringe..it's an essential right that makes America the greatest place on earth..and woe to those who try to infringe on that right!!!
