The Right to Lie
Can you believe the U.S. Supreme Court is actually willing to hear a case challenging an outdated Ohio law that bars candidates and issue groups from lying in their campaigns?
The case, according to the Huffington Post, involved an anti-abortion group’s claim that Ohio’s False Statement Law violated its free speech when it lied about Defeated DemocRAT Dumpy Driehaus’ support for over-taxed payer funded Baby Killing. That case will probably be argued in April, with a ruling announced during the last months of the Supreme Court’s term in May or June.
And what an honor it will be for local attorney Chris Finney to be arguing that case in the highest court in the land. Unfortunately, it won’t be on the side of truth, justice, and the American way, but on the side of people who think it’s OK for candidates and issue groups to lie during their campaigns. It’s right there in the Declaration of Independence, isn’t it— the “Right to Lie, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness?”
Hurley the Historian says on this date in 1998, internet gossip Matt Drudge posted a story about then Pants-Dropper-in Chief Bill Clinton told that got the Disgraced DemocRAT impeached.
So it’s no big surprise that our Quote for Today Committee has once again chosen Slick Willie’s lie that will live in infamy: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.”
Now Let’s Meet Today’s Guest Editor:
Why, it’s none other than Family Friendly Fascist Chris Finney who’ll this time be representing the Greater Cincinnati Right to Lie Association (Protecting Unfettered Free Speech for Politicians Who Can’t Tell the Truth) in front of the U.S. Supreme Court in April.
That’s because The Blower, which takes pride in supporting a person’s right not to tell the truth if he thought it would get him in trouble), has selected our Litigious Lawyer from COAST to be this week’s guest editor and choose three items plus a Quickie for today’s E-dition from our Current Cadre of Conservative Columnists and Contributors.
- “THE PRESIDENT WITHOUT A COUNTRY” by Pat Boone
“We’re no longer a Christian nation.” — President Barack Obama, June 2009
” America has been arrogant.” — President Barack Obama
“After 9/11, America didn’t always live up to her ideals.” — President Barack Obama
“You might say that America is a Muslim nation.” — President Barack Obama, Egypt 2009
Thinking about these and other statements made by the man who wears the title of president, I keep wondering what country he believes he’s president of. In one of my very favorite stories, Edward Everett Hale’s “The Man without a Country,” a young Army lieutenant named Philip Nolan stands condemned for treason during the Revolutionary War, having come under the influence of Aaron Burr. When the judge asks him if he wishes to say anything before sentence is passed, young Nolan defiantly exclaims, “Damn the United States ! I wish I might never hear of the United States again!”
The stunned silence in the courtroom is palpable, pulsing. After a long pause, the judge soberly says to the angry lieutenant: “You have just pronounced your own sentence. You will never hear of the United States again.. I sentence you to spend the rest of your life at sea, on one or another of this country’s naval vessels – under strict orders that no one will ever speak to you again about the country you have just cursed.”
And so it was. Philip Nolan was taken away and spent the next 40 years at sea, never hearing anything but an occasional slip of the tongue about America. The last few pages of the story, recounting Nolan’s dying hours in his small stateroom – now turned into a shrine to the country he foreswore – never fail to bring me to tears. And I find my own love for this dream, this miracle called America , refreshed and renewed. I know how blessed and unique we are.
But reading and hearing the audacious, shocking statements of the man who was recently elected our president – a young black man living the impossible dream of millions of young Americans, past and present, black and white – I want to ask him, “Just what country do you think you’re president of?”
You surely can’t be referring to the United States of America , can you? America is emphatically a Christian nation, and has been from its inception! Seventy percent of her citizens identify themselves as Christian. The Declaration of Independence and our Constitution were framed, written and ratified by Christians. It’s because this was, and is, a nation built on and guided by Judeo-Christian biblical principles that you, sir, have had the inestimable privilege of being elected her president.
You studied law at Harvard, didn’t you, sir? You taught constitutional law in Chicago ? Did you not ever read the statement of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an author of the landmark “Federalist Papers”: “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers – and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation – to select and prefer Christians for their rulers”?
In your studies, you surely must have read the decision of the Supreme Court in 1892: “Our lives and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind. It is impossible that it should be otherwise; and in this sense and to this extent our civilization and our institutions are emphatically Christian.”
Did your professors have you skip over all the high-court decisions right up till the mid 1900’s that echoed and reinforced these views and intentionsDid you pick up the history of American jurisprudence only in 1947, when for the first time a phrase coined by Thomas Jefferson about a “wall of separation between church and state” was used to deny some specific religious expression – contrary to Jefferson’s intent with that statement?
Or, wait a minute: were your ideas about America’s Christianity formed during the 20 years you were a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ under your pastor, Jeremiah Wright? Is that where you got the idea that” America is no longer a Christian nation?” Is this where you, even as you came to call yourself a Christian, formed the belief that “America has been arrogant?”
Even if that’s the understandable explanation of your damning of your country and accusing the whole nation (not just a few military officials trying their best to keep more Americans from being murdered by jihadists) of “not always living up to her ideals,” how did you come up with the ridiculous, alarming notion that we might be “considered a Muslim nation”?
Is it because there are some two million or more Muslims living here, trying to be good Americans? Out of a current population of over 300 million, 70 percent of whom are Christians? Does that make us, by any rational definition, a “Muslim nation/”
Why are we not, then, a “Chinese nation”? A “Korean nation”? Even a “Vietnamese nation”? There are even more of these distinct groups in America than Muslims. And if the distinction you’re trying to make is a religious one, why is America not “a Jewish nation”? There’s actually a case to be made for the latter, because our Constitution – and the success of our Revolution and founding – owe a deep debt to our Jewish brothers.
Have you stopped to think what an actual Muslim America would be like? Have you ever really spent much time in Iran ? Even in Egypt? You, having been instructed in Islam as a kid at a Muslim school in Indonesia and saying you still love the call to evening prayers, can surely picture our nation founded on the Quran, not the Judeo-Christian Bible, and living under Shariah law. Can’t you? You do recall Muhammad’s directives [Surah 9:5,73] to “break the cross” and “kill the infidel”?
It seems increasingly and painfully obvious that you are more influenced by your upbringing and questionable education than most suspected. If you consider yourself the president of a people who are “no longer Christian,” who have “failed to live up to our ideals,” who “have been arrogant,” and might even be “considered Muslim” – you are president of a country most Americans don’t recognize.
Could it be you are a president without a country?
All who love their Christian beliefs, and their country, forward to all in your address book.
- “CLASS WARFARE AT ITS BEST” by John Galt
The folks who are getting the free stuff don’t like The folks who are paying for the free stuff, because The folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.
And the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.
And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more Free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!
Now… The people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are RECEIVING the free stuff that the people who are PAYING for the Free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So… The people who are GETTING the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the Free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.
We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the Free stuff.
Now understand this. All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 238 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumber the people paying for the free stuff. Failure to change that spells the end of the United States as we know it.

- “PUT ME IN CHARGE” by a 21 Year Old Female Who Gets It (Item Appeared in the Waco Tribune Herald)
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your home” will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good..”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules. Before you say that this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago that taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.
AND while you are on government subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Government welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Weekly Whistleblower Limerick Contest
Rude Remarks
This week, everybody who says, Obama’s latest call for “Civility” was just another load of bi-partisan, can’t-we-all-get-along crap, tweeted an entry to the Whistleblower Limerick Contest.
The winner is Randy Rude, our Uncivil Libertarian who says it’s insulting how the Left has deemed the rallies and speech of the TEA Parties and other libertarian groups as uncivil and a threat to political discourse, because unlike Fishwrap bloggers, who pretend to care about maintaining a dose of civility, The Blower should always contain unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent (but not poorly written) information. Everything we write doesn’t have to be so mean-spirited, it’s just so much more fun that way!
Randy wins a list of 1,001 Insults for All Occasions; a seat on Cincinnati Munchkin Mayor John Cranley’s new Uncivil Rights Commission; a chance to avoid next Tuesday’s forum on Civility moderated by Beyond Civility presented by the Charter Committee of Greater Cincinnatian opportunity to be on the air with WLW’s paid legal expert, Lovely Lisa Wells to play the tape recording of that time Eric ‘Call Me Crazy” Deters called telephoned him and called him a “mutherfucker” 427 times in less than five minutes. His winning limerick is:
The reason we have no civility
Is that voters no longer have the ability
To distinguish between truth and fiction –
Thanks to widespread media dereliction –
And, among candidates, a complete lack of virility.
Dishonorable Mentions Include:
The reason we have no civility
And politicians have no virility,
Is the pursuit of the Almighty Buck
It’s turned everyone into a schmuck,
Obsessed with their financial viability.
The reason we have no civility
Can be broken down into a trilogy
Pundits shout at the masses
Spouting nonsense from their asses
To make-up for their lack of abilities
And from our Anderson Laureate, each of these entries has been approved by the American Uncivil Liberties Union:
The reason we have no civility
Is that the Left believes it is nobility.
For them to be kind
And have an open mind
Would simply be beyond their ability.
The reason we have no civility
Is that liberals have no humility.
They then know what is best
For all of the rest
And if you complain, they call it “hostility.”
The reason we have no civility
Is because of liberal hostility
They think they are right
And want to show you the light
The problem is, they have no ability.
The reason we have no civility
Our nature is fraught with fragility.
We might want to be nice
But if you take my advice
You’ll fight the Left with all your ability.
The reason we have no civility
Is that liberals lack humility
They’re than we are,
Matthews, Krugman and Behar,
Don’t expect them to accept responsibility.
The Left hates Beck, Rush and Hannity
But don’t question their humanity
If you don’t follow their script,
Have no doubts, you’ll get ripped
I’ve had enough of their insanity.
So when anything bad takes place,
Whether it’s about gays, Bush, or race,
You can bet your sweet tail
Libs will rant and they will rail
Even though they don’t have a case.
The first line of next week’s limerick is:
