Freedom Foundation to U.S. Senator: “No one will make us renounce freedom”
Freedom Foundation ^ | 8/15/13 | Trent England

Posted on 08/16/2013 5:35:31 PM PDT by Baynative

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is a statist and a bully. The Senator, known for comparing U.S. soldiers to Nazis, recently used his senatorial letterhead to demand answers from us here at the Freedom Foundation. Sen. Durbin wants to know whether the Freedom Foundation is, or ever has been, a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

Wish we could burn him in effigy like the libtards do, but we’d be arrested for “threatening” him.

Treat him as he is, get a thousand clowns together all wearing Durbin masks. Maybe flash mobs of clowns popping up all over the country.

Well, I live in Illinois, I'd be happy to burn Dick(head) Durbin in effigy ... problem is, I don't know how to make a likeness of Dick(head) Durbin. If someone could make one up for me, I'd be happy to burn Durbin in effigy at a busy intersection to see if I'll get arrested.

Last I looked, walking on the flag, urinating on the flag, and oh yeah -- burning politicians in effigy is FIRST AMENDMENT FREE SPEECH, and I'm always happy to practice that!

FUDD!!!

Durbs hasn’t heard of this “First Amendment” thing as he’s too busy reading his little book of maoisms.

The Durbin letter is chilling; the response is incredibly good:

That is one hell of a smack down on Durbin. Glad to see it, thanks.

I bet Durbin doesn't put the answer letter in the congressional record. It was a brilliant response to freedom grabber Durbin - so fine Durbin won't want it in the record.

Durbin wanted to know if a conservative group was a member of another conservative group. Why the hell not?

Freepers, you are conservatives, would you please tell Durbin if you are a member of the conservative group known as Free Republic? Will you be honest and admit to the fact you are a member of Free Republic? Do you give any money to keep Free Republic on the internet? My God, will you admit to being a monthly donor? Or a dollar a day donor? A donor occasionally?

IF YOU HAVE NOT DONATED IN THE PRESENT FREEPATHON, PLEASE RUIN DURBIN'S LIFE AND MAKE A DONATION.

I WISH WE COULD ALL GO TO WASHIINGTON AND BE THERE WHEN DURBIN'S COMMITTEE TRIES TO DO AWAY WITH SELF DEFENSE. HE WOULD TAKE YOUR GUN RIGHT NOW IF HE COULD. A POX ON DURBIN AND EVERYONE LIKE HIM (yes, I am yelling).

I have heard of ALEC and did not know its purpose or why leftists hated it enough to pressure companies to distance themselves from it. Wow. Now I understand. Way to go FF!

Dick Durbin should be criminally investigated for using the power of the government to inquire into the use of the civil right of free speech and association.

They are far too long winded. The proper response to Durbin is as follows;

Dear Senator Durbin,

Kiss our collective asses.

Love,

ALEC.

And as long as there are plenty of AR-15s and other rifles, the govt will fear the people and there will be liberty.

I just received my latest copy of Biblical Archaeology Review Magazine, a sort of heady academic excursion into sometimes obscure controversies concerning the ancient Near East. [BAR was instrumental in freeing up the Dead Sea Scrolls half-century logjam.]

Imagine my surprise to find an article comparing King David and Bill Clinton! The article says that David was a risk-taker, occasionally overzealous with the opposite sex - '... a man-god who, despite his flaws, became a great leader of his people.' There was a picture of Clinton scowling to reinforce the silly comparison.

As I have repeatedly pointed out recently, this is evidence of Stalinism insidiously pervading our whole society [to wit lately that hapless rodeo clown.] The American Stalinists have done to Egypt just what they hope to do to America.
