The Exercise of Our Freedoms Disturbs Our Would Be Masters

SEE HERE There is something deeply troubling about the concern that Tea Party rallies engenders in the minds of our would be masters in power. Apparently the violent riots that they foment over their racist immigration policies are OK but having ordinary Americans gather to protest the increasingly egregious encroachments on their liberty are not OK. This picture is exactly inverted from what it ought to be and that should concern everyone.

On another matter but one which bears philosophical similarity:
RED STATE points out that four reporters were more concerned about the interrogation techniques used that involved lying to a prisioner than about the safety of our troops. There is something seriously wrong with our news media when, as Red State summarizes:
The real travesty here is not that the press disclosed the identity of a protected witness. It is that their delicate sensibilities were offended more by non-physical, non-threatening interrogation techniques than the torture-worthy murder of an American soldier.
