ALSO SEE: Student Tasered for Armed Madhouse Question to Kerry The First Amendment - According to John Kerry Thoughts on freedom of speech while watching Kerry watching a student being ejected from an auditorium at the University of Florida. I can remember, during the run up to the Kerry win in '04, he had what looked like this goon squad of union guys from the teamsters or pipe-fitters, or whatever as a sort of an ad-hoc security force. No one was allowed into a Kerry event who had any kind of pro-Bush signage. Of course Bush did the same thing. The worst example of this (I happened to see on TV) - was where these stooges took out a Republican who managed to sneak into a Kerry event with a pro-Bush sign. Under Kerry's gaze, five of these Neanderthals really flattened him, and probably put the poor guy in the hospital. The candidate didn't miss a beat in his speech. I was really pissed off about it and said so. No one in the Democratic Party wanted to hear anything about it at the time. I should have stopped supporting Kerry right then. To this day, I believe he was on the take from Bush. I'm sure he promised his old Skull and Boner buddy that, if he did win, he would never serve. You may remember, old John couldn't get that concession speech out fast enough. I'm sure he had the final draft ready months before election day. Read Naomi Klein. We are all completely shocked and awed by the authority of the military and the police. No one even stepped in to defend the guy in Florida being taken down by the campus cops in what seems to be a clear use of unnecessary force. One girl did scream at them, I guess, but no one physically interfered with the deadly force being administered. (How many more have to die before they take the tasers away from cops - especially those poorly trained rent-a-cops?) I sometimes get a little scared when contemplating my attendance at certain public events. When I see crap like this going down, I always feel compelled to step in - no matter what the odds. I suffer from a dangerous defect in my instinct for self perseveration in situations where someone is in need or danger. I always think of their safety as somehow being more important than my own. It has resulted in a few rather severe beatings in the past - none by police fortunately. I have never seemed to learn. At least, back in the pre-Bush days, I could usually count on someone occasionally coming to my aid and helping me out. Now, I am not so sure I can count on anyone around me to even give a damn. Back in the "halcyon" sixties, the police had to constantly watch their backs. When attacks, like the one at the University of Florida occurred, they were, often as not, surrounded by angry, threatening fellow-protesters. The "pigs" were frequently forced to release their prisoner. Back then, few peace officers would have been dumb enough to even pull a stunt like the campus keystoners tried the other day. Kids then would even stand up to guns and tear gas. What a sorry bunch of sheep we are educating today. We have become a whole nation of bloody sheep. In other news… They sure shut up that old Commie, Sally Field on the Emmys the other night. I guess "God Damned Wars" is not fair and balanced enough language for the FCC. When informed of the deletion, Sally was overheard remarking to a Fox producer, "You hate me, you really really hate me!" Peace, Bob Boldt PS: I just saw on the news, that a bunch of kids did show up on campus with protest signs later. They just don't seem to have the physical courage they used to. I guess there may be some cause for hope though... Recommend this article...
