Oh, no? Not maybe by YOUR definition. It's a "hallmark" of the
"dictator" that he has the laws written in such a way as to penalize
his opponents unduly for opposing him. He did in this case, where an unpopular
(with politicians) tax activist who has stopped $25 million in tax increases
had the temerity to TELL THE TRUTH about a politician who had smeared dog poop
all over his neighbor for objecting to that poop being in his yard without a
few "required" words being on the flier he passed out. This
politician got a "slap on the wrist" for the "dog poop
incident" and it no doubt made his win in the election thinner. But he has
the Florida Attorney General file 14 CHARGES against this man, one for every
person who got a copy of the flier (which the court threw out) and STILL got
him $8,000 in fines and 60 days in jail. They conned him into thinking he could
pay a small fine and not even have a conviction on his record, so he pled
guilty. He could have gotten 4,000 years in jail! "The speech regulators
no longer engage in mere civil harassment: now they apply the handcuffs and
iron bars." For my part, anybody who can deprive the government of $25
billion (with a "B") in tax money is a "good guy." And I
can readily see why the Attorney General was so willing to put this man in
prison for such a miniscule "crime." At least he didn't smear his
"victim" with dog poop. The flier he distributed didn't even fit the
description contained in the law under which he was railroaded. It contained NO
recommendation to vote for ANYBODY. It was simply his "free speech"
and what they did to him was patently unconstitutional. If I were in Florida,
they could do it to ME for this blog item. What a load! (Paul Jacob/Town Hall)
