Hello, everybody! Welcome! We're one step closer to our own little version of WWII's Nazi Germany here in Amerika, land of the enslaved sheep and home of the psychotic soldiers who've been fighting too long.
Mission accomplished, Bush Administration! You've almost wiped out the freedom of speech. If you wipe your asses a little harder, you could wipe out some more precious freedoms, too, if you're willing!
Note to the rest of the world: I have tried to keep an open mind and think about things from both sides, but today, I'm wondering if I should just give up. The newest revelation from Washington is that the Supreme Court, the highest court who's supposed to be our champions of freedom and justice, have officially made it more difficult for government employees to alert the masses when our government is committing crimes. Hookergate? Forget about it. The NSA is listening in on your phone conversations? Keep your mouth shut (Halt den Mund!). Public knowledge of events like this will become a thing of the past.
Seriously, to everyone else in the world who reads this, don't believe the hype any longer. America is not truly a democracy (we've known that for some time now...we're a socialist republic, not a true democratic nation) and its citizens are not truly free.
By a 5-4 vote, justices said the nation's 20 million public employees do not have carte blanche free speech rights to disclose government's inner-workings. New Justice Samuel Alito cast the tie-breaking vote.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the court's majority, said the First Amendment does not protect "every statement a public employee makes in the course of doing his or her job."
I have to hand it to you, George. Your little lapdog, Alito, knows how to deliver, doesn't he?
