Joshua Norton’s Contribution to the World
Joshua Abraham Norton of San Francisco (via England) recobanized that the State of the Union was in disrepair in 1859, and realized that he alone could save the United States of America from certain catastrophe. Subsequently, and for legitimate reasons, he unselfishly declared himself Emperor Norton the First.
From Wikipedia:
In accordance with his self-appointed role of emperor, Norton issued numerous decrees on matters of the state. After assuming absolute control over the country, he saw no further need for a legislature, and on October 12, 1859, he issued a decree that formally “dissolved” the United States Congress. In the decree, Norton observed:
“…fraud and corruption prevent a fair and proper expression of the public voice; that open violation of the laws are constantly occurring, caused by mobs, parties, factions and undue influence of political sects; that the citizen has not that protection of person and property which he is entitled.”
He was humored and tolerated at the time; meanwhile I’ve put in an order for more Joshua Nortons.
“Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.” –John Lennon
Harry Truman’s classic observation rings true as well.

The First Amendment Was Added to the U.S. Constitution for a Reason.
And because of the First Amendment, there was a Second Amendment. The purpose of the Second Amendment was to enforce the First.
When Union thugs are hired and encouraged to squelch the speech of those individual citizens who oppose the rapid enactment of socialist policies in this Country, and the mainstream media is complicit with and encourages attacks on the basic right of Freedom of Speech, I get pissed. I can’t wait for November 2010. (Click the image for a bonus.)
