A Small Shift Regarding Freedom of Expression


It is a small shift in the right direction and it is a reminder to non-citizens:

The United States Constitution is written primarily with the American citizen in mind.  And while it provides an expansive canopy for the non-citizens who live here, these individuals must never forget that they are our guests.  And as our guests,  behavior should be exemplary. The ability of the non-citizen  to remain here is at the pleasure of our Department of State.  The welcome can be swiftly and legally rescinded when the non-citizen presumes upon the same right to an expansive freedom of expression as that  afforded the citizen. With citizenship come certain unalienable rights.  With guest status - the welcome mat can be yanked. If you are here as a non-citizen, learn from us.  But do not allow yourself to forget that you are not "us".   

If you are a non-citizen, please observe how our government allows the citizen to protest.  But do not join the protest.  The only real change achieved on any level is with the civic duty of voting.  You also are denied that right. Be reticent regarding your behavior and actions.

If you are the non-citizen do not spit on our government by raising your voice against our policies toward your nation of birth.   We will make it possible for you to return to your nation and work to make it better. 

We are a good people.  But we want you to be good too.  Be good with your studies, your employment, the way in which you treat your neighbor.   But do not raise your voice in derision and mock when one of our citizens is assassinated.  This makes you unwelcome in our presence.

Remember that we are a good people.  But do not mistake our goodness for a lack of common sense.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Charlie Kirk Memorial: Live Blog: The Largest Church Service in Human History

Live Blogging:  Charlie Kirk Memorial Blackfoot is comfortably snoozing in a different time zone.  So I will go ahead and start the post.  Undoubtedly, when I return to the desktop, Blackfoot will have added a few thoughts and I will enter the arena again. Security.  The word floated across my consciousness several times yesterday.  The perimeter of two stadiums and parking lots must be secured for the Charlie Kirk Memorial.  Within full envelope surveillance are tricks of the trade which most of us are unaware of - in blissful manner. Problematic, is not only an estimated crowd of 100,000 souls, but the abbreviated timeline to secure the venue.  We had a friend who worked full-time providing security for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium when it was in Irving, Texas.  When the team hosted the Super Bowl in 2011, several alphabet agencies were involved in securing the space for weeks in advance.  Every can of nacho sauce, toilet paper, and toothpick...

Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. Proverbs 28:26  (ESV) Robert Westman went on a killing spree and murdered two children and injured eighteen others - mainly children  6-15 years of age.  This man hunted within the safe pasture of the church.  He turned a place of worship into a killing field of the innocent.   I have worked within (locked) childhood, adolescent, and adult psychiatric units.  And when dealing with a child, there is no more difficult work than healing of the young mind.  What was I to do, with the five year old boy who would back up to the door of his room and try to sodomize himself on the door knob? True story.  And it still breaks my heart. President Biden, and his nonsensical wife Jill, strongly applauded this social disorder (transgenderism) - this against the very natural order  disaster -  which was brought into existence by wicked educators and brainwashin...
