Carnival of True Civil Liberties IV

Posted on October 24, 2005

Here it is folks! The 4th edition of the Carnival of True Civil liberties! Next week it will be passed along to other blogs to host.

Gina at ginasrantings presents What Happened to His civil Rights ? Indeed, too many schools have fallen prey to the political correctness movement. Religious expression is no longer tolerated, but censored.

Gribbit at Gribbit’s Word presents Is The Plame Investigation Falling Apart? Excellent post, make sure to read it. Gribbit is always making me think.

Buckley F. Williams at The Nose On Your Face presents ACLU Sues Bush For ‘Hurricanist’ Remarks Great blog if you like satire. The ironic thing about this however, is that when you use satire about the ACLU, its sometimes easy to think you are reading the truth.

Carolyn Hileman at Carolyn Hileman presents Separation of church and state? Quite a nasty debate going on over there. Make sure to check out the comments.

The MaryHunter at TMH’s Bacon Bits presents Maryland GOP to Reform Eminent Domain Now there is a prime example of judicial activism stripping away liberty if I’ve ever seen one. Even liberals were shocked at this decision.

David at third world county presents Poly-Ticks: an omnibus postWhen an organization that disingenuously calls itself “The American Civil Liberties Union” campaigns to obstruct free speech* and free exercise of religion, seeks to endanger that greatest of rights—life itself—and can get YOU to pay for their misbehavior, can civil liberties long survive?

Ian at The Political Teen presents O’Reilly: ACLU v. Christmas (VIDEO) That is right folks! Christmas is just around the corner, and the ACLU will be out on the hunt like a rabid wolf! Get prepared to fight back!

TFS Magnum at TFS Magnum presents Sexual Predator Near VA Metro Station When our rights under the second amendment are infringed, the predators among us are given free reign. In places like Washington DC – and the Metro system that services it – violent criminals are free to prey upon law-abiding citizens.

Speaking of the second amendment, which the ACLU doesn’t believe in. Kender at Kenders’ Musings presents Guns=Freedom or Why is The Second Amendment So Important? He says, ” I have been thinking of the second amendment of the Constitution more than usual lately.”

Fausta at Bad Hair Blog presents Morality pays off. The issues our kids face today aren’t only about sex, AIDS, or other STD’s — there are issues of and about morality, family, and values.

Ogre at Ogre’s Politics and Views presents ACLU Supports Voter Fraud. Their problem, this time, is in regards to a law passed by the elected representatives of the Georgia Legislature and signed into law by the governor. The law would have required voters to actually provide some evidence of identification before people were allowed to vote.

If you enjoyed the carnival, and would like to be included in next week’s carnival, please submit your posts to the Carnival Submission Form!

Real Teen at Right on the Right presents Another Email To The ACLU Apparantly they don’t find his expressions important enough to respond.

    Glad to see that you are posting a non-stop string of humor pieces, keep up the good work. Let me know of you want me to write some humor stuff for you.

    Here, let me know what you think of this one, it’s a poem I call “Ode to the Southern Renaissance Man”

    Of the size of his flag he’ll regale ya
    And his knowledge of sheep genitalia
    He’s a loyal Bush fan
    See, he’s plastered his van
    Front to back with Bush paraphernalia

    Speaks in grunts and words single-syllabic
    Rebel flag is his state’s social fabric
    That he wears on his back
    Racist chic (the new black)
    Thinks that Condi is hot (for a black chick)

    His lust for Rush Limbaugh is chronic
    Though he claims that its only platonic
    A confirmed crapto-head
    Rush’s pic by his bed
    The mere thought of Rush gets him hardon-ic

    Drives two rusted old gray Chevy half-tons
    Favorite things are cold beers and warm guns
    Pile of trash in his yard
    He don’t work none too hard
    Loves all stem cells (except for the gay ones)

    Left school early but might can still cipher
    Rebel Yell he considers a cry ‘fer
    Some saving of face
    By the South’s “master race”
    At the Johnny Reb club he’s a lifer

    Saw Dukes of Hazzard and went apoplectic
    He’s a hillbilly film genre skeptic
    Burt’s Boss Hogg he found lazy
    And Jess Simpson as Daisy
    He found forced, trite, and quite antiseptic

    Mention Clinton, his lip starts to quiver
    “Hillary” down his spine sends a shiver
    Head in a**, he don’t know
    ‘bout the fiscal death blow
    GOP to him’s set to deliver

    Haute cuisine 2 big Macs (extra cheese)
    Mention Reagan he drops to his knees
    Though he’s flat busted broke
    Still he loves the rich folk
    Though it screws him he’ll do as they please

    High culture to him? Wax museum
    The next NASCAR event? Bet you’ll see him
    Sunburned, drunk, weighs a ton
    There’s a million, which one?
    He’s the one with the 12 beer per diem

    Loves the war long as it ain’t him fightin’
    The sad truth is it’s hard to enlighten
    One who lacks brains or balls
    Hides when his country calls
    Loves war talk, but real war tends to frighten

    Though morally blind he can see
    Fiscal damage done by GOP
    Supports them all the more
    Hates those gays, loves that war
    Sign on scrotum and head: Vacancy

    A twice-born evangelical dimwit
    Found Christ once, but misplaced him, dagnabbit
    Born of crap and whole cloth
    Greatest virtue is sloth
    Moral and intellectual midget

    He is fat, foul-smelling and toothless
    Loves his dog, to his kids he is ruthless
    Works full time at the dump
    Proudly dumb as a stump
    Claims his sex scandal rumors are truthless

    Says the South will be risin’ agin’
    Should we fear Southern Man and his kin?
    Shoot, they’s plumb out of luck
    Couldn’t start Granny’s truck
    They’ll regroup with some home-distilled gin

    They’ll debate whether South Carolina
    Is the country’s a**hole or vagina
    It’s the foremost debate
    In the reddest Red State
    While Bush exports all their jobs to China

    Wow, Phil.

    Since you didn’t have the balls to leave a link to yourself, (which means Grib won’t pay attention to this comment) allow me to say this….your 15 badly written limericks put together into a poem was not only boring to read but rather stupid and stereotypical thinking.

    But that is OK…..to see someone from a leftist perspective have such a stereotype about people from the south while listening to people on the left scream about not stereotyping other groups while they do it theirself is refreshingly honest.

    Thank you for that.
