Making The World Safe For . . . Politicians

by Paul Jacob - July 27th, 2008 - Townhall.com

In 2006, Citizen Guetzloe premeditatedly communicated with thousands of his fellow citizens by mailing a police report involving David C. Strong, then a candidate for mayor, to approximately 4,000 Winter Park residents. The mailing contained some additional editorial comment, but there was no call to vote for or against any candidate — not that that should matter, of course.

Believing he would pay a small fine and ultimately not even have a conviction on his record, Guetzloe pled “no contest.” Instead, Judge C. Jeffrey Arnold sentenced him to 60 days in jail, $8,500 in fines, and three years supervised probation. All for the crime of spreading around his opinion without following all the byzantine rules and regulations enacted into law by incumbent politicians.

So much for freedom of speech.

Of course such actions by any of a myriad of left wing organizations or individuals against any conservative would not even have warranted a fine. It would have been dismissed out of hand. What you really find is that Guetzloe is a conservative anti-tax crusader. That is the crime that liberal activist Judge Arnold found him guilty of.

There is no justice in America. The courts are corrupt.
