He Sees The Light?...

Conservative commentator/preacher/Politician/pundit Chuck Baldwin is worried about free speech and political correctness.......now........in 2009........about 30 years after it would have mattered,

First, it was a Missouri Analysis and Information Center (MIAC) report; then it was a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report; now it is a New York congressman's bill. Each of these items, taken on their own, is problematic enough; taken together they portend "a clear and present danger" to the liberties of the American people. It is getting very serious now.

As readers may recall, the MIAC report profiled certain people as being potential violence-prone "militia members": including people who supported Presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and myself. In addition, anyone who opposed one or more of the following were also included in the list: the New World Order, the U.N., gun control, the violation of Posse Comitatus, the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax, the Ammunition Accountability Act, a possible Constitutional Convention, the North American Union, the Universal Service Program, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), abortion on demand, or illegal immigration.

He's so concerned about this whole politically correct free speech infringement thing the Left is employing that he himself chooses to use their own catch phrases and favorite boogy man to drive home the point,

"Let me ask a reasonable question: how long does anyone think it would be, after being profiled by DHS and denied the lawful purchase of firearms, that those same people would be subjected to gun confiscation? And how long do you think it would be before DHS began profiling more and more groups of people, thus subjecting them to gun confiscation?

This was exactly the strategy employed by Adolf Hitler. The Jews were the first people denied their civil rights--especially the right to own and possess firearms. Of course, after disarming Jews, the rest of the German citizenry was likewise disarmed. And we all know where that led."

Ahh Hitler, the gift that keeps on giving!

Isn't it interesting how certain people keep throwing out the Nazis as the prime example of the suppression of free speech and rights even though any mainstream commentary of Hitler and Nazi Germany that veers slightly away from the 'authorized' cartoonish characterization of them is openly attacked and/or suppressed?
