He didn’t mean to, butBill O’Reilly highlighted one major difference between neo-conservatives and progressives with his vile suggestiong that Air American Radio staffers be arrested. O’Reill stated, “So, all those clowns over at the liberal radio network, we could incarcerate them immediately. Will you have that done, please? Send over the FBI and just put them in chains, because they, you know, they’re undermining everything and they don’t care, couldn’t care less.”

O’Reilly’s comments illustrate that neo-conservatives do not believe that anyone who disagrees with them should be allowed to speak. Neocons are all for silencing disagreement in any way possible, using any conceivable reason. Progressives, on the other hand, believe the exact opposite. We even support O’Reilly’s right to make such absurd statements.

One wonders if he realizes just how bad this statement makes him sound.

Okay, this big guy is ultra-cool. It is a big blue bear sculpture that will be constructed at the Colorado Convention Center. The sculpture will be set up outside the Convention Center against one of the glass walls of the building. As the image demonstrates, it will appear that the bear is looking into the Center to see what is going on inside.

I love this city!

I’m late writing about the proposed flag-burning amendment. This is mostly because I cannot believe that an amendment was re-introduced. I thought that we had already dealt with this issue last decade! Burning the flag is a despicable act, but it is also constitutionally-protected free speech. Banning this act would be restricting our First Amendment rights. This amendment would destroy one of the ideals that the flag stands for in an effort to protect the flag. Which just doesn’t make sense.
