The local Democrat front, known as The Hammond Times, has, again, endorsed the worst possible candidate in the race for the State Legislature. In the following column in the newspaper Doug Ross shows his unique inability to actually think anything that is not provided to him by Hammond Mayor McDermott, also know as Chair of the Lake County Democrat Party. See the following from The Hammond Times: House District 12. Reardon does not got that much of a supportive endorsement... | Continue »

Money quotes from today's ruling: "The AFDI Ad is not only protected speech—it is core political speech. The Ad expresses AFDI’s pro-Israel perspective on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict in the Middle East, and implicitly calls for a pro-Israel U.S. foreign policy with regard to that conflict. The AFDI Ad is, further, a form of response to political ads on the same subject that have appeared in the same space. As such, the AFDI Ad is afforded the highest level of protection under the First Amendment." Judge Engelmayor's ruling today (“At the heart of the First Amendment is the recognition of the fundamental importance of the free flow of ideas and opinions on matters of public interest and concern.”) "The Court, therefore, analyzes plaintiffs’ claim that MTA violated the First Amendment in rejecting the AFDI Ad “against the background of a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open." Whatever weight might be assigned to the governmental interest in banning demeaning speech on the exterior of New York City buses on an even-handed basis, there is no good reason for protecting some individuals and groups, but not others, from such abuse. MTA’s no- demeaning standard, as currently formulated, is, therefore, inconsistent with the First Amendment. To be sure, there are likely adherents to Jihad who are non-Muslims, such that the Ad can literally be read to assail as savages all adherents to Jihad regardless of their religion—much as there assuredly are many adherents to Islam who do not accept Jihad, at least when defined as a violent crusade against enemies generally, or against Israel specifically. But, realistically, when it is read as a reasonable person would, the AFDI Ad plainly depicts Muslims—the primary adherents to this tenet of Islam—as “savages.” Pamela Geller, Robert Muise (AFLC), David Yerushalmi (AFLC) and Robert Spencer AFDI triumphed in our lawsuit against the NYC MTA's ban on our pro-Israel ad. We won on all points. Straight down the line. Judge Engelmayer wrote a wonderful opinion. Brilliant. And AFDI is now on the law books. Freedom, freedom, freedom ...... the sweet, delicious taste of it. This is a great victory for the First Amendment. The freedom of speech is increasingly threatened in the U.S. in recent years -- the Left and Islamic supremacists are doing all they can to rule honest discussion of Islamic jihad violence and Jew-hatred out... | Continue »

These pages have discussed how Purdue University investigated my free speech for over three months. The overall investigation and consequences to me are not yet over. But that is a story that must wait for another day. While the University... | Continue »

The Purdue University Chronicle_03.19.12, a student newspaper, is almost exclusively devoted to me, lucky me. In it, the Purdue Calumet Social Justice Club, has gotten beside itself because I named the wrong person as its advisor on this blog. Correction:... | Continue »

Muslim "peace" is what most of Islam is about. One is fooling themselves to consider Islam just another religious perspective. That could only be justified if one considers that the Incas are also just another religious perspective and that their... | Continue »

In the last half of Part II of my ongoing series -- detailing the unholy alliance between the local Democrats and one of Purdue University's regional campuses -- I talked about how Chancellor Cohen of Purdue University Calumet decided that it was his role and duty, as a State official by virtue of his position as Chancellor of a State funded university, to provide aid and comfort to an elected Democratic Indiana State legislator, John C. Aguilera. I have termed... | Continue »

At the end of my last blog on this topic, I stated that little did I know that the trail of letters from McDermott to Cohen to me was the first act in an ongoing performance. Events from that "first act" did die down, but not before Cohen and I exchanged letters and McDermott delivered a ringing radio performance. | Continue »

Now that they have fully appreciated what the NWI Regional Development Authority (RDA) is all about, the NWI County of LaPorte is counting its blessings for having said "NO!" to that useless, self-serving organization. Citizens of LaPorte County consider themselves lucky; they dodged a bullet aimed at their heart from Governor Mitch Daniels trying to get them to join a sinking ship. Not only where they being pressured to join a sinking ship, they would have been forced to pay... | Continue »
