A bill, symbolic though it may be, heads for the Senate<\/a>.\u00a0 It shows the growing impatience that a sizable number of Americans have over this whole freedom garbage.\u00a0 Like many in the post-modern Left, the desire is for a country founded on values-based rights: if you don\u2019t have the right values, you don\u2019t deserve the rights.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe for\u00a0a minute that most Americans are stupid enough to believe the word drool of folks like Senator Schumer<\/span> as he invokes the classic \u2018they\u2019re coming to get you\u2019! McCarthy style paranoia about the<\/span> GOP and the Catholic Church wanting to take away birth control.\u00a0 Americans, despite our best efforts, aren\u2019t that stupid.<\/p>\n

Instead, like people who watch the news, knowing full well that it\u2019s agenda driven propaganda, we ignore the truth and facts altogether, and affirm whatever it is that gets us what we want.\u00a0 So it will be interesting to watch what happens.\u00a0 The Senate, Democrat controlled, looks poised to strike another blow against traditional freedom and inch us that much closer to good old leftist tyranny, with over 40% of the population giving their approval.\u00a0 Maybe not.\u00a0 We\u2019ll just have to see.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
