Well Jay, the time has come for me to say goodbye. Note to people who are really happy about this: I’m not leaving the planet, just this blog.
As I noted in a personal email, after much thought, I have decided to end my participation and contribution to Lynn v. Sekulow and will be doing some blogging elsewhere.
I’ve enjoyed debating these issues with you. I’m sure we’ll encounter each other on the cable television and college circuits. You definitely make a wonderful sparring partner.
I appreciate all our loyal readers who post comments here. I encourage you all to keep up your interest in these important constitutional issues. I wish you the best.
Barry,
I would not use that label to identify the President. I will say, however, that President Obama continues to embrace and promote pro-abortion policies that many Americans strongly disagree with.
Take the outcome of the election – an unmistakable repudiation of the President’s policies. As columnist George Will put it, “This election was a nationwide recoil against Barack Obama’s idea of unlimited government.”
He’s right. And, voters also sent another message: they don’t want the President’s pro-abortion, government-run health care law. It’s clear that most Americans who went to the polls oppose ObamaCare and want it repealed. Exit polling found that 59% of those who voted on election day favor repealing the law – numbers that have been consistent since the troubling health care measure was passed in March.
Jay,
I think you would agree with me that businesses have the right to hire and fire as they see fit.
Fox News, per usual, has manufactured a controversy here, and that’s all there is to it.
But since you mentioned you believe Juan Williams’ had the “right to express a thought,” I’d like to at least say that I am a strong proponent of free speech, too.
For example, I don’t dispute that Personhood Colorado, the anti-choice group behind Colorado’s Amendment 62, had the free speech right to create a political ad that demonized President Obama as the “Angel of Death.” That was the name given to the Nazi doctor who performed medical experiments and tortured men, women and children in concentration camps during the Holocaust – hardly an accurate comparison.
