The liberals are too busy celebrating gays getting married to worry about the future of libraries.

could we leave the fish alone and get back to the library?

“Or do Democrat librarians only believe in free speech when it is what they want to hear?”

Years ago I went to see a locally controversial movie – an early Michael Moore production called “Blood in their faces”. It was about Michigan Neo-nazis and was filmed largely at a place I was associated with through work. So a lot of local liberals got in a twitter because much of the film was just these nazis spouting their stuff and there was very little commentary, and some folks felt that Moore had given them too big of a platform from with to spew forth their . …. message. So I went to the movie and shouldered my way through the demonstrators and spotted one with a sign stating “NO FREE SPEECH FOR FASCISTS” and I still have not figured that one one.
Then there was the time I was tossed out of the anti-discrimination rally because I was (still am) white, but that’s another story for . …………… eeeeek

Well, duh WebbyGrl. Of course free speech is only for the democrats. How dare those conservative librarians (all 2 of us) speak about their views.

*Mrs. Bush is married to a man who doesn’t even support the First Amendment or an Individual’s right to privacy!*

It’s funny that he never has pushed legislation to rid us of that pesky 1st amendment, isn’t it? And you do know who has been behind the only recent attempts and successes at doing so, right? [Hint: hate speech codes @ your university].

LOL….yer funny….

Mrs. Bush is married to a man who doesn’t even support the First Amendment or an Individual’s right to privacy!

Not all librarians are forward thinking people…and to be married to such a person as W., well that alone speaks volumes.

*I’ll be very interested to see how the Democrats in the library community react*

They won’t be able to react–they’ll all be Philadelphia’d. They’ll probably willingly fall on their own swords with a smile on their faces though–for their ‘transformational’ Dear Leader–as long as the order comes is relayed via their Commissars in ALA.

So Sarah Palin “supposedly” wanted to ban a book. So what? Big deal. I’ll be very interested to see how the Democrats in the library community react as the libs in Congress attempt to re-instate the Fairness Doctrine which will in-effect silence talk radio. Or do Democrat librarians only believe in free speech when it is what they want to hear?

Obama is going to find out what Clinton found out: Congress is in control of the country. Whenever Clinton tried to pass a bill contrary to the Congress’ wishes, he’d get a visit from the Speaker of the House or the President Pro-Tem of the Senate (contrary to Biden’s assertions, the VP IS the pres. of the Senate), telling him just where his power came from. And so Obama will cave, like Clinton.

Reagan, on the other hand, simply said, “you will pass it or I will veto every bill that you send my way!” Obama doesn’t have that kind of nerve.

Not a very good librarian if you forgot there was an election.
