The two-minute warning

William Baer of Gilford NH Being Arrested

Game almost over?

Sadly, William Baer was arrested for speaking outside of his “two minute” free-speech allotment at a Gilford, NH school board meeting.  Protesting the use of a scandalous novel (which I will not promote here) in his daughters’ high school, his concerns and complaints got to be too much for the board to hear, so they “asked him to leave”, free handcuffs included.

What really gets me though, is the deer-in-the-headlight look and inaction by the other parents sitting in the gallery.  Either they all disagreed with Baer’s position, or they were all too afraid to speak out against this intolerable act.  Surely, they will be the first to complain about the clampdown – when it’s too late to protest.

Ann Barnhardt, an outspoken activist/commodities broker, who ran Barnhardt Capital Management in Colorado, but shut it down and “went Galt“, has something interesting to say about it too.  A quick, worthy read…

**Emphasis mine and with all due to respect to those who went out to the Bundy Ranch in Nevada.  There are many fronts we can fight on, especially if you couldn’t physically head West and stand up to the BLM…

The video of the man being arrested at the school board meeting because goes over the “two minute” rule for complaining about the fact that his 14 year-old daughter was assigned PORNOGRAPHY in English class. Oh yeah, I saw it.

Subpoint A.) It has to be said: what kind of parent would send their child to a public school today in the first place? I’m dead serious here. Public school is handing your children over to Marxist, satanic psychopaths because you (the parents, and let’s face it, grandparents too. If I was a grandparent, I’d offer to help with the home schooling myself OR chip in to pay for private tutors. Hey. Two BRILLIANT ideas in one sentence: something for the old folks to do besides watching the damn TeeVee AND the call for the resurgence in the private tutoring business!) are too damn greedy and/or lazy to homeschool. ”We can’t AFFORD it.” Yeah. The immortal souls of your OWN CHILDREN are of little to no value. Way to go, post-Christian denizens of the Iniquitous Gutter Kleptarchy. Way to “take up your crosses.” Nice hustle.

Subpoint B.) The most terrifying thing about that video is the fact that NOBODY did ANYTHING to stop than man – who had done nothing wrong – from being arrested. In fact, they all just sat there trying desperately to pretend that they weren’t seeing any of it. THAT is what was so chilling. All of the men (and some of the women) should have leapt to their feet and formed a perimeter around the man. Make that fat, conscienceless, miserable tick of a wannabe Stormtrooper understand that if he wants to go there, shit can most definitely get REAL. But no. No, no. That roomful of cowards just sat there and watched. And, you know, that is EXACTLY how it is going to be when the mass arrests and disappearings start. There will be some minor tyrant (probably a damn woman, as in this case) who will say in an ice-cold tone dripping with faux-politeness, “Sir. Sir. Sir I need you to step over to the edge of the ditch, Sir. Sir, I need you to step over there and kneel down now, Sir. Sir….” You want a battle to fight? You want to make a stand? I’m sorry, but it isn’t out on that ranch in Nevada. It was in that room where a FATHER DARED QUESTION A SCHOOL BOARD ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER BEING ASSIGNED PORNOGRAPHY, AND GOT ARRESTED FOR IT. There’s your battle. There’s your hill to die on, if ever, ever there was one.
