My hats off to the liberal minded hyppocrite! If anybody in this country has perfected the art of exploiting the 1st amendment it's the liberal mind.What is so wonderfully brilliant about their strategy is that it comes without guilt. We used to have guilt in this country that came from a common sense approach to how we should behave as a culture.Those who skirted this behavior were made to feel ashamed of themselves and then were summarily marched off to the village square where they were placed in stocks to allow the rest of us to see the punishment for idiocy and also give us something to do pre-tv by staring at the guy, laughing , and heaving cabbage at his head. (actually it was probably tomatoes but let's face it, cabbage is a funnier vegetable name). What makes the 1st amendment beautiful is that it is supposed to instill self imposed censorship which honored the fact that we are free to think and speak as we feel. In other words, the fact that you live in a country that allows you the freedom to burn it's flag is EXACTLY the reason why you shouldn't. You DON'T burn the flag to honor the fact that you CAN!!! I say all this as I watch this Ward Churchill controversy that allows a tenured professor to say that those who died in the world trade center were equivelent to Adolph Eichmann.I am not even going to comment on those statements as plenty of smarter people than me have already expressed disgust for his idealogical idiocy. What bothers me is that he is some kind of self appointed Native American activist who is of the "white european males are all evil" mentality which raises the question how can we trust your opinion on that concept  Mr."CHURCHILL" since your descended from that same degenerate ilk? What I'm most curious about is why he continues to work, earn money, and live in such an oppresive country as ours? Certainly one would expect him to donate all of his earnings to political causes which are solely designed to accomplish one utopian goal, to finally, once and for all, remove all non natives from these shores and send us back where we came from.(All of us except Churchill as I'm sure he would expect to be made king). Goodness knows if it wasn't for the white imperialist this nation would still have Indians roaming free on their sacred land hunting buffalo with bow and arrow as the rest of us lose our souls while we utilize computers, jet travel and penicillin. The humor I find in these scenarios is not to excuse the abuse that the human in power has continually displayed towards the weaker human, and there is no question that human rights were horribly abused in the formation of this country. What I speak of is only the fact that the safety, freedom, income, full stomache, shelter, automobile, medical advances, unrestricted travel, universities, cheap clothing, access to free thought, AND the constitutional amendment that gives you the freedom and protection to think like a moron ALL exists because this country was conceived and created by the very group he claims to hate. His freedom to speak his mind against the "white man" exists because of the "white man's" ideas. He is caught in an endless loop that allows the liberal mind to continue to make a profit and create constituencies based on putting down this country without acknowledging who gave him this privilige in the first place.Yes when it comes to the liberal way of thinking, they are experts at 3 things. Narrow mindedness, ungratefullness and self imposed lobotomies.
