Contemporary Standards, Priorities

Martin J. Walsh, Mayor of Boston, MA. He don't need no stinkin' free speech.

What is an ordinary person to conclude? Boston Mayor Martin. J. Walsh says he is offended by comments made by New York businessman Donald Trump, a candidate for President.  Trump said Mexican immigrants are violating criminal laws in the United States. Driving without a license, without insurance, drunk driving, hit and run, negligent homicide. Assault, theft, homicide, rape. Possession of controlled substances, illegal gun possession, sale of drugs, importing drugs, money laundering, and more. There are many reports of these crimes across the United States. Mayor Walsh is not Mexican. He was born in the United States. Why is he offended? 

Maybe we should be more selective in who we invite to our house?

Even if what Mr. Trump said was untrue it is protected speech under the United States Constitution and the Massachusetts constitution. Mayor Walsh is a public official, sworn to uphold the laws and the constitution. Threatening Trump is a form of intimidation. Massachusetts state civil rights law, makes it a felony to intimidate a person who exercises a constitutionally protected right. It indicates that Mayor Walsh does not support free speech, a concept which protects speech you hate. Speech you love does not need protection. If Mayor Walsh supported the First Amendment he might counter what Trump said with more speech. Instead he made personal attacks, a form of propaganda. That is un-American. It shows the misguided standard for public discourse in the nation these days. Mayor Walsh is joined by corporate leaders of Macy's, NASCAR, Walmart, Amazon, and other misguided corporate and elected officials. They ignore the same laws which enable their profit making enterprises and protect their assets. 

Corporations are persons, with constitutional rights. Macy's don't need no stinkin' free speech for Donald Trump.

For about 45 years the FBI told everyone I knew, know and met, "He's a homosexual." I never was and never will be. It is one element of a multi year relentless campaign of character assassination. Where is the accountability, the outrage for all of those people who repeated that lie? Was there any accountability, any punishment for the harm done to me? It is what lawyers call false light, a tort. Has there been any effort to compensate me? Any apology? Any effort to restore my reputation? Any effort to compensate me for loss of social life for 45 years? Nothing of the sort. There is no accountability for abuses of the FBI. Even when they are successfully sued, taxpayers pay for their wrongdoing. They act as if it never happened. They just fade into the woodwork and I am left with no one who knows me. Clever. Where does one go to get one's reputation back? One's social, political and economic support systems?

Being a homosexual in 2015 is to be a member of a wealthy and powerful special interest group. The homosexual lobby is the most powerful special interest group in the nation. Who wouldn't want to be a member of that organization? They run the FBI, many state and federal courts and many local and state governments. They set standards and guidelines for journalists.  

People act as if I just arrived from Alpha Centauri. Who is this person? He's not a homosexual? If he was we would know him. We would know he was harmless and friendly. Maybe he is violent and dangerous. To check they employ psychiatrists, psychologists who test and provoke the stranger. They check to see if he is a racist,  a sexist, a homophobe. If he is not a homosexual he must be a homophobe. All breeders are. Maybe he is a Muslim, then he is safe, harmless and friendly. If he is a feminist, we know he is a good person and harmless. If not he is likely a rapist. All non homosexual men are rapists. Numerous taxpayer funded studies prove that. Better test to see if he rapes women in grocery stores or libraries. Most men do that. We better check. Test him to see if he will have sex with black men. If not he is surely a racist. Try using young women as bait. If that doesn't work try young men. If neither works try toddlers. If none of that works try provoking him when he tries to sleep. Keep him awake, and wake him up every hour or two hours. See what he does. 

But Donald Trump must apologize for telling the truth.

[From article]

If Donald Trump ever wants to build a hotel in Boston, he’ll need to apologize for his comments about Mexican immigrants first, the Hub's mayor said.
“I just don’t agree with him at all,” Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh told the Herald yesterday. “I think his comments are inappropriate. And if he wanted to build a hotel here, he’d have to make some apologies to people in this country.”
Last month in his campaign launch address, Trump said, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”
