Being offended Is Not A Legal Issue
Jul 13, 2015 Opinion
The Constitution does not protect some right not to be offended though from the actions of people these days one would be hard pressed to prove it. People of all stripes are offended by a flag and want it removed. Then they got offended over statues and want them removed. They even became offended at the dead bodies of two people from the Confederacy (an officer and his wife) and they want the bodies dug up and buried elsewhere.
A man was shopping at a flea market and he ran across a person selling Nazi and Confederacy memorabilia** and he became so upset he called 911.
[note]I hesitate to call anyone a man who gets upset at seeing such things and, according to his account, became so upset he was shaking an almost vomiting and had to run. Does that make it a flee market?[/note]
No matter how one finds these items they are not illegal to sell (especially since it was on private property) and it is certainly not against the law to offend someone.
A lot of resources were wasted investigating this. Politicians wanted to know if any laws had been broken (how about abuse of the 911 system) and a person from the Anti-Defamation League described the items and the incident by saying:
It’s unfortunate that under the law people have the right to sell these things; but it doesn’t mean they should sell these things ~ Joshua Sayles
You see, it is unfortunate you have rights. If those pesky things were not in the way then the law could clamp down on you for offending people.
I don’t like Che images and think anyone who wears or displays them is a moron but I would fight to my death defending their right to do so.
And one thing is for certain, I would not shake, nearly vomit or run because I saw something I did not like.
People get offended all the time. It is one of the facts of life and there is no law preventing it (thank goodness).
So the best advice I can give is suck it up cupcake…
**It appears the man was upset by the Nazi items because he had a relative in a concentration camp and that the Confederate items were not authentic. No matter, he should have been ticketed for calling 911. He got sick and had to run because of this? I bet he gets apoplectic watching a WWII movie…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

This Is America
Sep 11, 2013 General
On the 12th anniversary of the cowardly attack on our nation I, like many others, sadly remember the horror of the day and the senseless loss of life.
I also think of the liberty lost as this nation changed.
This video of the song “This Is America” by my friends The Oak Ridge Boys is my post for the day.
May God bless this great nation and those who faithfully serve it.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

A Day To Remember 9-11-01
Sep 11, 2011 Political
In honor of those who have lost their lives and those who have carried on to make this country a better, safer, place, there will be no posts (other than this one) here today.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of those injured or killed on 9/11. We are thankful for those who worked then and every day since to keep us free and safe.
May God bless them and May God bless the United States of America.
Cave Canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Would Obama Be To Blame If We Are Attacked?
Sep 9, 2011 Political
When Bush was president he received briefings about non specific threats from bin Laden and his terror network and the possibility of an attack. There were no specific plans or timelines and the briefing was no different than what had been given to Bill Clinton. There was a threat but when, where, and how were not defined.
The attacks of 9/11 came and the left blamed Bush. They claimed he ignored the warnings from the brief and went on vacation. Bush was to blame, according to the left, because he did not stop an attack that he was briefed about. The fact that the brief was non specific and did not pinpoint any information that could be used to stop the attack made no difference to the left because Bush was to blame. It is like Katrina. The local and State government of New Orleans and Louisiana failed miserably but Bush was to blame. Some claimed he blew the levees on purpose and that he steered the storm to that spot.
The tenth anniversary of 9/11 is a few days away and security has been heightened because of the potential for attacks. Obama has been briefed on a non specific threat that indicates the terror network is working on using car bombs in DC and New York to attack Americans on or around 9/11. The brief is non specific and includes no real actionable intelligence. It is about the same kind of warning that Bush received.
So if, God forbid, we are attacked on 9/11, would Obama be to blame for not stopping it?
I did not blame Bush and certainly would not blame Obama. But the left was all over Bush and held him responsible so if we are attacked would Obama have the same blame since he has received the same kind of briefing for which liberals hold Bush accountable?
Just asking?
I hope we are not attacked but one never knows. Despite the denial by the left, there are people who want us dead.
Be vigilant…

Have You Forgotten?
Sep 11, 2010 Political
This song came out in January of 2003.
[note]In December 2002, Darryl played for the troops in Afghanistan and Kuwait. When he came home in the last week of December, he and Wynn Varble wrote the song. Darryl debuted Have You Forgotten at the Grand Ole Opry on January 10, 2003. Source[/note]
It is amazing how quickly attitudes can change. We went from a nation at odds over a close election to a nation united after the attacks on 9-11-01.
After the initial unity we were once again a nation divided as politicians revised history to oppose actions they overwhelmingly and willingly voted for. We became a nation divided over protracted wars. We became a nation divided.
And so we are nine years after the most horrific attacks on our soil, divided.
That we would even allow discussion about the erection of a mosque anywhere near the site where the attacks occurred shows how we are marching further toward dhimmitude.
Have you forgotten?
Let us take time today to remember those innocent people who were murdered in an act of war nine years ago today. Please keep the memories of those in the buildings, those who went to rescue them and those who forced a plane into the ground alive in your hearts and minds.
Let us at least come together as a nation to do that.
And fly your American Flag.
Have you forgotten?
