WikiLeaks a puppet for future massive Internet regulation?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

From The Hill: Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor predicted Thursday that a case involving WikiLeaks would likely come before the court. She said that the WikiLeaks “incident,” in which the group posted thousands of classified Afghanistan war documents online, “and others are going to provoke legislation that’s already being discussed in Congress, and so some [...]

Is The Mosque Catholic?

Friday, August 20th, 2010

I had posted my blog post I made on Aug 18, which included a video and petition opposing construction of a mosque near the WTC, to several mailing lists and newsgroups I am on. It seems that more people agreed with construction than I thought. Most criticism comes from a Catholic Yahoo group, where many [...]

Join Obamacare Class Action Suit

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

Van Irion, a lawyer and Congressional candidate from Tennessee, recently began a class action suit to repeal the recently-passed Obamacare. There is more to Irion’s case than just Obamacare – he is challenging several FDR-era Supreme Court rulings which have since given near unlimited powers to the federal government. For example, one of Obamacare’s notable [...]

In North Myrtle Beach right now

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

The ride was great, the beach is better. The GPS device in the car we rented spies on traffic around the country and gave us paths through country roads when it would avoid traffic. Morally and Constitutionally terrible, but helpful every now and then I guess. And the beach was great today.   You Are [...]

“Blogs vs. Twitter & Facebook” Arguments, As Applied to the Bill of Rights

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

There have been a lot of posts (and political lobbying) within the past few years by a dying Media 1.0 establishment and a gullible public to discourage the creation and reading of blogs, this time by encouraging Twitter and Facebook as replacements for blogs. Examples: 1 2 3 4 Rather than go on a standard [...]

Text content on xcopfly.com, with exceptions listed here, is in the public domain

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Some commenters have been asking whether or not the site can be quoted or reproduced. I have been putting off deciding this – I will not use the popular Creative Commons licenses because later versions include a sneak GPL-style provision allowing relicensing under “compatible licenses” approved by Creative Commons (the organization) as “in the spirit” [...]

I hate this.

They don’t even give any reasoning anymore behind their unwelcome infringements on your right to free speech. I’m not just talking about the government – I’m talking about every aspect of your personal life.

Great Anti-17th-Amendment Article

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Other than the buttons on the side and some links in the blogroll, I don’t like to discuss politics on this blog, as I’ve run political blogs before and it’s just frustrating and boring after a while. However, I’ve just come across a great article, fully cited, on the 17th Amendment and the damage it [...]

Repeal Freedom of Speech – it’s 230 years old!

Monday, February 1st, 2010

This video is scary. A conspiracy theorist goes around the streets of California trying to get signatures for a “Repeal the 1st Amendment” petition. He markets the 1st Amendment as outdated and tells people signing that a repeal will prevent “hate speech” and will ban criticism of the President. No joke! Watch the video: Video [...]
