Book Banning?

My previous post commented on Ann Coulter's book, "Godless," and I offered my thoughts on the subject. I think that Ms. Coulter is too intelligent to have stated her case in the manner in which she did.

The uproar over the book is what is most noteworthy. From the left and the right, there are angry responses to her comments. Quietly, some people admit to agreeing with her premise, but at the same time, disapproving her caustic style.

Today, however, something more sinister has occurred. Two New Jersey assemblywomen, Linda Stender and Joan Quigley, have requested that New Jersey retailers ban the book from their shelves.

Did I hear that correctly? Unfortunately, yes. Exactly what country are we living in?

First, the outrageous hypocrisy.

Did any legislators call for banning the voice or the opinions of Ward Churchill, when he said that the people who were killed in the Towers on 911 were "little eichmanns?"

The democrats and socialists are democratic and socialistic for a period equal to exactly how long you think what they think, say what they say, and read what they want you to read.

With the gigantic mouths that continually degrade US troops, capitalism, religious beliefs, and the things that We The People have come to know as the foundations of our lives, a dissenting voice is not likely to be tolerated.

While the democrats and socialists forbid Handel's Messiah at a "Holiday" concert, they call for the banning of books with words with which they disagree.

What is happening is very, very frightening. But it need not be. We The People must stop sitting quietly by, feeling guilty for believing what we believe and thinking what we think. There must be an outcry against such "representatives" as these two women, who would DARE to suggest that banning books should even be considered.

Linda Stender and Joan Quigley should be removed from their positions of public trust immediately.
