Clarence Thomas spoke at Stetson University in Florida on the recent Supreme Court decision overturning of regulations against free political speech.
His address is artlessly covered in the New York Times, relying upon what they know about leftists, and what they think about conservatives in determining which comments to highlight.
Certainly Justice Thomas, being a legal genius, has much to tell us regarding the constitutionality of limiting free speech, but with NYT and other left wingers, it’s all about RACE.
Highlighted in the article is a mention of the dark side of regulating corporate speech with the Tillman act, which stifled Republican corporations apparently based upon their favoritism to Blacks.
Yes, the Republican party really was the civil rights party, and, in liberal think, perhaps that ought to bother conservatives. However the real problem to conservatives is that education had dumbed down the citizenry to an intellectually sheeplike status. Most people don’t know that the Republican party fueled all of the civil rights legislation. This educational malpractice has led to self destructive attachment of many minorities to the Democrats, who contemptuously patronize them, while at the same time ‘aborting them for crime control’. (Are you having trouble believing that? No problem. LISTEN to Senator Dick Durbin explain to Senator Brownback, the need for federal funding for abortion in Washington DC.)
Small businesses and interest groups, who did not have sufficient legal expertise and financial resources to form the entities which sidestep McCain Feingold, will once more be able to participate in the politcal processes. In other words, there is increased power to the grass roots, and this is most fearsome to the political elites.
The voices of small business entrepreneurs and their employees, will once more be heard in politics. Grassroots prolife organizations can also enter the game, and we thank Justice Thomas and his right-thinking peers.
