Upon first seeing this, the takedown of Sidney Hill, a disabled man at the Alaska State Fair, it looks disturbing.
That the man is a loudmouth and a LaRouche supporter is beside the point. These are the people that the Constitution is meant to protect.
It is a state fair and the First Amendment must be respected in public places, right?
Well there are a few limits. The Alaska State Fair is not on public grounds. It is private property. That changes the entire perspective of the event.
The courts have deemed that the First Amendment is restricted on private property. No one has a right to walk up on a person’s lawn and hold a protest there. Imagine Hill carrying his banner down the middle of a local mall as he barks out his thoughts. That would not be acceptable either. He would be interfering with the commercial interests of the businesses in a private setting. Yet the courts have been very careful about completely limiting free speech even in that setting.
What happened at the Alaska State Fair is more like a movie theatre or concert. People pay to enter with expectations of entertainment other than Sidney Hill. No one would accept Hill standing up in front of a movie theatre with his banner. The paid patrons would not be happy. Why should paying fairgoers expect less?
Hill made a commotion and interfered with a show performing nearby. That put him in a weak position regarding freedom of speech. Security first tried to persuade him to leave, but that did not work so he was arrested.
If Hill had performed his protest outside the gate on public property and this had happened, then there is a story. As long as he did not impede the movement of other people on public property, he has the absolute right to speak his mind. However, the Constitution does not give anyone the right to be an obnoxious jerk on private property.
Looking around the internet and it becomes clear that this video is becoming a favorite for those who think that America has become a police state under Obama.
You can see this presented at Infowars.com, BreitBart.tv, ConservativeAmericanVet.com, Dittos-Rush.com, GodLikeProductions.com, Casttv.com and many other places. These and the other websites who posted this video while criticizing the actions of the fair’s security fail to realize that Sidney Hill’s right to free speech at that venue is no more appropriate than a hacker breaking into their websites and posting pro-Obama messages. I have hunch they would not support free speech in those cases.
Glenn Beck promised over one hundred thousand people would attend his rally at the Lincoln Memorial. He even hoped for more, as the permit with the National Park Service listed a rally for 300,000.
Estimating crowd numbers is a near-impossible task. The Park Service gave it up in 1997 after being criticized for underreporting the Million Man March.
Cronyism is an age-old problem of politics. Those who are most trusted by an officeholder get the best appointed positions. They often weld considerable power despites often being horribly inept or corrupt.
Fidel Castro may be getting older and feebler, but the real problem is what is going on in his head.

There is a purpose for this technology in the military or checkpoints at borders, but to think that it is going to stay there is wishful thinking.
Tomorrow Glenn Beck will hold a rally “Restoring Honor” at the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech.”
I don’t buy it. If you support one position, then you must support the other. Beck has a right to hold a peaceful rally on public property at anytime. The mosque has the same rights to be constructed as any project in New York City.
It was so much easier in the good old Cold War days to demonize the godless commies in the Soviet Union and Red China. Now we have people like Louisiana Rep. John Fleming who 
Candidates have been trying to find a way to control questions from journalists for years. Chris Young, a mayoral candidate in Providence, finally achieved that. He simply serenaded the anchor with a song he wrote.
