Voltaire and the 1st

'I do not agree with a word you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it' Or something like that. Voltaire said it, but you can't ask him how it went, he died quite a while ago. Anyway, that's the gist of his quote, I think you all can get the picture. You people are smart, I hope.

Now to bring us to Don Imus. Should we defend to the death his right to say that the losers of a basketball game are "Nappy headed hoes?"

According to Voltaire, we don't need to agree that losing a basketball game makes you a glorified garden tool with nappy hair. I most definitely do not. Nor should you. If you agree with that assumption get off this blog and never return. You should know what I think of bigots like you. Now scram. You shouldn't even be able to reach this sentence. Are you gone yet?

It is jerks like Imus who make people like me, (blog writing Libertarians) absolutely pissed off because they only encourage those other third derivatives of position (jerks) to abridge the first amendment. It is that sin, more than anything else, for which he MUST be kicked off every blasted airway in this country. And the planet. And the universe while we are at it.

Those who speak openly, to many people, are required by sheer love of gods (God) and country and liberal democracy to watch their words and make sure nothing NOTHING that they say makes the ever aggravating communitarian's (Order and Equality above freedom) increasingly anxious to knock the first to the ground.

Everyone entrusted to speak to the masses must bear those things in mind. There are always going to be fools who don't think before they endanger the voices of all, but try not to join them. I hope I never do.
