Savage Banned in the UK! ......Why???????

Hi Everyone,

Here are 4 big news links. I can not believe Michael Savage was banned yesterday in the UK. The world gets stranger by the day. What is going on with the Govt's around the world? Freedom of Speech is very important. Even if you do not agree with Michael Savage this is what free speech is all about. Protecting speech even if we do not agree with it.

Thanks,

There’s something the Brits may not be revealing about why Michael Savage won’t be summering in Derbyshire.
I’ll give you a hint: you’re getting warmer.

Twitter was been… all atwitter over Tuesday’s report at Politics Daily that inflammatory radio talk show host Michael Savage has been named on the British governments list of sixteen undesirable individuals who are banned from entering the United Kingdom.

The British Home Secretary (the equivalent of the US Secretary of Homeland Security), Jacqui Smith, is given credit in the Politics Daily article for making the decision to make the names public. According to Tuesday’s World Net Daily, Smith appeared on Britain’s GMTV and dispensed with subtlety.

Smith explained to Britain’s GMTV that she believed it was “important that people understand the sorts of values and sorts of standards that we have here, the fact that it’s a privilege to come and the sort of things that mean you won’t be welcome in this country.”
“Coming to this country is a privilege,” she said. “If you can’t live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country and, what’s more, now we will make public those people that we have excluded.”

I don't believe for a minute that the United Kingdom decided to ban entry to U.S. talk-radio star Michael Savage on its own initiative.

First of all, Savage was not asking to enter the U.K.

Second of all, while Savage is a big fish in the U.S., his program is not widely known across the pond.

What would possess Home
Secretary Jacqui Smith to single out Savage on a short list of 16 people worldwide who would not be welcome?

I think I know the answer.

But first, you have to understand the backdrop to this story.

Free Market Update #1
No, the Free Market Did Not Cause the Financial Crisis
The Daily Reckoning

05/05/09 Auburn, Alabama In March 2007 then-Treasury secretary Henry Paulson told Americans that the global economy was “as strong as I’ve seen it in my business career.” “Our financial institutions are strong,” he added in March 2008. “Our investment banks are strong. Our banks are strong. They’re going to be strong for many, many years.” Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said in May 2007, “We do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or to the financial system.” In August 2008, Paulson and Bernanke assured the country that other than perhaps $25 billion in bailout money for Fannie and Freddie, the fundamentals of the economy were sound.

How Unions and Governments Destroy Businesses
The Daily Reckoning

05/04/09 London, England In the newspapers there is much discussion of what General Motors should do. This discussion has gone on for many years. Until now, it was a conversation carried on by serious analysts and auto industry experts. They all said the same thing: GM needed to clear out its management, dump much of its expensive, “legacy” overhead, and produce better cars. Why didn’t it do so?


And now, it’s broke. And even politicians think they know how to run an auto company. Just read the papers. “Obama insists on changes,” says one headline.

EDITORIAL: Thought crimes
Punishing people for what they think
Washington Times

By | Thursday, April 30, 2009


Democrats are making it illegal to think certain things. The House of Representatives passed legislation yesterday that extends federal so-called hate-crimes laws to include sexual orientation. This is a move to provide special status for specific groups. It is also unnecessary. If a miscreant kills or rapes somebody, he should be prosecuted for murder or rape. What he might have been thinking is beside the point.

Economy Alert #1
Sapping America's Energy
Global-warming legislation would drive up the cost of everything.
Wall Street Journal

April 16, 2009

By Pete Du Pont

If Americans don't start paying attention to what Congress is up to, our nation's energy policy may seriously change for the worse. A bill styled the American Clean Energy and Security Act, sponsored by Democrats Henry Waxman of California and Edward Markey of Massachusetts, soon goes before the House. The enactment of laws to combat global warming is an established priority of the new administration and Congress, and their impact on the lives and opportunities of America's people would be substantial and detrimental.

Gun Control Alert #1

Lou Dobbs on May 1st, 2009

A renewed effort, tonight, that could curtail our Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms if President Obama has his way. He wants the Senate to ratify a little known treaty that would create a national registry for guns. Under that treaty other nations would be able to identify gun owners in the United States. Bill Tucker has our report.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2009/05/01/ldt.tucker.gun.rights.cnn


BILL TUCKER, CNN NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): President Obama went to Mexico and brought back a 12-year-old treaty.

BARACK OBAMA (D), UNITED STATES PRESIDENT: I am urging the Senate in the united states to ratify an interamerican treaty known as SIFTA, to curb small arms trafficking that is a source of so many of the weapons used in this drug war.

TUCKER: The treaty, signed by President Clinton in 1997, was never ratified by the Senate. It calls for the institution of a regime of gun control never before seen in the United States, creating a gun registration system that would be open to international sharing. Offenders would be prosecuted under treaty law and they would be eligible for extradition.

Proponents, like Senator Dick Luger, are urging passage saying, "We should consider ratifying during this Congress the Inter-American Convention against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunitions, Explosives, and related materials." Gun rights activists are incensed.

LARRY PRATT, GUN OWNERS OF AMERICA: It reflects a deep distrust that the government of the United States has had toward the people that somehow we need to be regulated because of other people's inability to have a peaceful and orderly society?

TUCKER: Which cuts to the deep distrust some gun owners have for government in general and specifically this administration. President Obama as a senator consistently supported gun control legislation. His attorney general, Eric Holder, is also in favor of gun control. But one strong supporter of the Second Amendment in the Senate is determined to see the president does not get his wish.

SEN JOHN BARRASSO (R), WYOMING: The president said it is a very high priority for him to get this treaty that takes away our Second Amendment rights ratified by the Senate. It is a very high priority for me to make sure this treaty never gets ratified by the United States Senate. And we will find the votes to defeat it.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

TUCKER: Gun control is an issue the Democratic congressional leadership has not been eager to embrace just yet but that is what has gun rights groups concerned about this treaty. It isn't being presented as gun control. Instead, Lou, it's being presented as an international treaty that has been ratified by 29 other countries so therefore it must be right that we ratify it as well.

DOBBS: Well, I don't know who -- what do you mean, it must be right? Because 29 other countries don't have a Second Amendment or a constitution?

TUCKER: Correct. And that seems to be President Obama's logic. This is an international treaty.

DOBBS: Well, we're fools if we don't pay attention to what is being done before our very eyes. And that is what's taking place. And no one can blame President Obama. We have only ourselves to blame because he has made it very clear, as has his attorney general, the chief law enforcement officer in the country, they just want to do a few things with gun laws like take them away in large measure. Bill Tucker, thank you very much.
