Op-ed:
The True Instigators of Hate vs. Freedom of Speech

“We don’t care what land she hides in or what sky shields she hides
behind...[W]e will send all our Lions to achieve her slaughter.”
ISIS communique placing a fatwa on Pamela Geller's head
Pamela Geller and her group 'American Freedom Defense Initiative'
have been the center of controversy this week because of the happenings
in Garland, Texas...controversy over her right to free
speech...controversy over her right to hold an event depicting the
'so-called' prophet muhammad in cartoon form. And we all know by now the
unfolding chain of events that led to the rightful deaths of two
homegrown muslim islamic terrorists that were hell-bent on murdering
Pamela and other innocents in attendance. And while Pamela's detractors
say she is a true instigator of hate, the ISIS fatwa shows to what extent
those who wish to kill us all will go to in their effort to reach that
nefarious goal.
“We incited no one. We didn’t call for violence, justify violence, or
approve of violence,” was Pamela's response adding that,
“No one is
forced to kill for being insulted. Those who choose to do so are
responsible for their actions. No one else is.” And how right Pamela is
for one major problem facing American society today is the 'so-called'
passing of the buck in the refusal of many...especially those who
'behave badly'...to take responsibility for their own actions.
But what remains the touch point of this entire incident is 'We the
People's' right to free speech...Pamela's right, your right, and my
right to say what we think without being slammed or threatened by those on
the kumbaya left who sympathize with the enemy or by those 'supposedly'
on our side who in reality are anything but. And being that the right to
free speech is both afforded us and protects us as per the First
Amendment to the Constitution, the Supreme Court still at times
addresses the question of what exactly constitutes 'protected
speech'...interpreting those words to mean that NO 'arm' of the
government...neither federal nor state...can abridge or deny the right
to free speech. Simply, the bottom line remains that
“Congress shall
make no law...abridging freedom of speech”...period.
And that freedom includes the right to engage in 'symbolic' speech as
per Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989) and United States v. Eichman
496 U.S. 310 (1990)...and what are cartoons but individual or collective
'symbols' of people, thoughts, convictions, or ideas. But the basis of
free speech goes back to James Madison who proposed the notion
of 'freedom of speech' when addressing the First Congress on June 8,
1789.
In an address that adhered to the Founder's belief against
minimizing the limits of what people could say coupled with their belief
that open exchanges of ideas would encourage tolerance among people of
opposing views...Madison proposed two separate phrases about the
'freedom of speech' be added to the Constitution, with the first phrase
being that,
"The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right
to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of
the press, one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable,"
and with the second phrase being that,
"No state shall violate the equal
rights of conscience, or of the press." Madison's first proposal was incorporated into the First Amendment while his second proposal, rejected
at first, became part of the Bill of Rights a century later...after the
14th Amendment was enacted...and remains so to this day NO matter that
the media and the 'blue' states seem NOT to have any conscience at all when
it concerns the free speech of conservatives.

NO conscience at all when conservatives like Pamela Geller...who is in
the forefront of pointing out the dangers that 'so-called' radical
islam...complete with the abomination known as Sharia Law...pose to our
country...dares to speak her mind and hold an event that refuses to
embrace the left's and the media's placating the wishes of the muslim
occupying the White House...wishes that include acceptance of an
ideology counter to all our American values, morals, and ideals. And of
course the administration, the media, the left, and some on the right,
refuse to accept that others may hold and express beliefs different than
their own, and so they start attacking the messenger instead of attacking
those who deserve to be attacked...as in 'those out to kill us all.'

And one of the saddest things in this ongoing debate over Pamela
Geller's right to free speech happens to revolve around those we thought
were on our side...those who continue to criticize Pamela for putting
on an event they claim she knew would be incendiary...an event they say
defames and mocks all muslims for the actions of a few. And people like
FOX's Bill O'Reilly do NOTHING but add fuel to this rhetoric's fire with
his expressing disdain over Pamela's inviting people to draw mohammad,
deliberately, according to him, provoking muslims in such a manner that
she brought the attack upon herself. And why...because as per O'Reilly
she knew that any depiction of muhammad is a 'supposed' sin to those who
practice islam. Adding that Pamela's event was NOT about free speech,
O'Relly bloviated that it had everything to do with behavior...Pamela's
behavior NOT the behavior of those who ended up as chalk silhouettes on a
sidewalk outside the event.

And to that I say NO way as O'Reilly and his 'supposedly' on our side
bunch who are anything but are ignorant to the fact that the people
they're defending are the very same people who cut others heads off
simply for being Christians or Jews...need I say more. These are who
they defend when they should be heralding those, like Pamela Geller, who
speak out against these very savages and the things they do.
And as for those on the left who say this event in its artistic criticism
of muhammad borders on...if NOT outright is...a form of 'hate
speech'...speech NOT protected under the First Amendment...critics like
Evan Kohlmann, NBC's terrorism expert, who on 'Hardball' said Pamela
and her supporters are
“trying to provoke a response from the Muslim
community, and unfortunately, this was predictable” ...just do NOT get
that Pamela's event actually helps to protect their right to freely
criticize both her and her event without fear of physical reprisal...without fear of
having a fatwa placed on their oh so cowardly heads.

And with muslim placators ignoring our Constitutionally afforded right
to speak freely against islam, whether through a cartoon event or
through pen to paper, comes a nightmare from which 'We the People' might
NEVER wake up. Now having federal attorney's looking at ways muslim
civil rights might have been violated by those posting inflammatory or
negative words against either islam or muslims on social media...social
media like facebook...Obama says the Federal government may have the
right...the legal right...to imprison those exercising their
First Amendment right to criticize, mock, or even insult those with
their butts up in the air facing East.
NOT giving a damn about the growing persecution of Christians and Jews
both here in America and worldwide, Obama and crew are holding an event
on June 4th called 'Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society'...anything
but coincidentally on the same day as he is set to give away part of our
Second Amendment rights by signing the U(seless) N(ations) Small Arms
Treaty. This event will 'supposedly' focus on muslim culture (a culture
of savage barbarism if you ask me) and how that 'supposed' culture is NO
different than that of any other peaceful culture or religion, clearly
ignoring the fact that nearly all terrorist acts to date have been
committed in the name of islam...in the name of allah...including the
attack on an innocuous cartoon event. And with Obama and his media
cohorts clearly trying to promote islam...choosing to protect islamist's
First Amendment rights but NOT the rights of American like Pamela
Geller...he and the media forget that islam is truly offensive to we
Americans, our American culture, and our American way of life.

And now with muslims here in our country having been emboldened by
Obama's demands that America cater and bow down to those who issued a
fatwa on a patriot's head, the Obama regime nor the FBI lifts NOT a
finger to protect Pamela Geller from the savages out to kill her. And
the media is complicit in spewing the hate against Pamela and in turning
the First Amendment into empty words written long ago in a document
called the Constitution that thanks to Obama seems NO longer to be the law of our land.
And know that we must stand up for free speech...we must stand up for the Constitution...and we must NEVER allow those in power to make us
afraid to criticize a 'supposed' religion responsible for so much death
and suffering throughout the world. And, most importantly, we must understand that
if a patriot like Pamela Geller can be turned into the villain by a
regime and its media cohorts, then what happened to Pamela will happen
again...I just wonder who among us will be next.
