Reader says Ridgewood’s Mayor should go on record voicing his support for Charlie Hebdo and the Ridgewood blog in support of Free Speech !
By any chance, is Ridgewood’s Mayor on record voicing his support for Charlie Hebdo in the wake of the brutal attack on free speech in France? Or is White Horse Strategies only interested in representing clients who benefit when people are afraid to freely speak their minds?
Events of this nature, if they are to be held at all, should be privately organized. For elected representatives to be the planners, hosts and organizers seems like a tactic employed by the National socialist party. Does anyone know their Great Depression and WWII-era history? Even Roosevelt sought to corrupt and coopt public discourse by secretly training thousands of so-called “four minute men” and quietly dispersing them around the country to attend local public meetings where they would take full advantage of open microphone time to proselytize regarding issues near and dear to the collectivist heart of the executive branch. Are we seeing a return to this tactic, 70 years hence?
If the puerile, atheist, nihilist rag Charlie Hebdo and it’s anemic typical print circulation of 60,000 is to be defended arm-in-arm by 40 world leaders marching in solidarity against attack by Islamist barbarians, certainly free-market, free-speech and We-the-People-oriented theridgewoodblog.net with its 90,000 unique electronic visitors per month can expect to be effectively defended against gratuitous depredation by two and 499/1000ths amigos bent on incessantly holding non-public public meetings calling for “civility in public discourse” until we collectively cry “Uncle” for fear of being bored to death. Hey PJ, by any chance, do you have a cartoonist on staff capable of amateurishly lampooning the prophet Aronsohn in honor of tonight’s gala free-speech-chilling civilapalooza?
Je Suis Paulie !
Je Suis Pooch !
I like it #1! Very catchy.
Why not The Mayor inserted himself into the Gun Control controversy not to long ago. Why not this. Paul here your chance.
To back that post up
Aronsohn, who recently joined more than 700 mayors, including about 80 from New Jersey, in the bipartisan national group Mayors Against Illegal Handguns, told attendees that all facets of the issue – from mental health to a national “culture of violence” – need to be addressed to reduce gun violence.
“It’s really important that we stand here tonight, but I would argue that it’s even more important we stand together tomorrow and the next day going forward,” said Aronsohn, who praised the dialogue in Ridgewood. “Thanks for coming out … Let’s keep it going.”
Thats on his website #4.
Here is one for you PJ
The Muslim call to prayer will soon be heard every week across the campus of Duke University in North Carolina.
We are DONE!
Hey James how about NOT censoring the posts on your blog, which we know is being done, that are not offensive huh….don’t be like the loony liberal left that says it’s only fine to have free speech as long as the loony liberal left approves of your speech.
whats was censored ? and who is “we”
What those bozo professors and students at Duke don’t quite get is that they would still get their heads hacked off if ISIS/AQ had the chance.
#9 I just heard on the news They have changed their mind now.
Thank God people and donors spoke up.
Oh, this is hilarious. Je suis Paulie, Je suis Pooch, Je suis the Hawk. Yeah, they all advocate free speech unless the person at the microphone is saying something they do not want to hear. Then that person is interrupted or yelled at or given the brush off. Remember the woman who was so determined about Graydon and they started screaming at her? Remember when the hotheaded DM went nuts on Ellie Gruber? You are not allowed to ask any direct questions of any member of the council, yep this is free speech.
Je suis Paulie. Whoever coined that deserves and award.
Je suis Paulie!
Je suis Pucci!
Free Speech for Me, but Not For Thee!
Oui, oui!!
