Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

January 11 2011

Prompted by a vicious criminal assault in which a federal judge and five others were murdered, and a congresswoman and more than a dozen others were wounded, New York Republican Representative Peter King is preparing legislation making it a federal crime for commoners to carry firearms within 1000 feet of a federal official.

Pennsylvania Democrat Robert Brady will introduce legislation making it a crime to threaten or incite violence against a federal official. New York Democrat Louise Slaughter, who blames criticism of the government for the act of a mentally unbalanced nihilist, is exploring what she calls ?ways to better police language on the airwaves.? South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn, insisting that the ?parameters? of free speech must be reset, will push to reinstate the so-called Fairness Doctrine.

Last week, the House of Representatives read the Constitution. This week, that body is preparing to destroy what is left of it.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
