Astonishingly, we have now entered an era in which it is illegal to simply remind people of the law. In fact, it seems to be an act of sedition.
Apparently, simply for stating the law, Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the crime of sedition. Our nation’s SODAFOP (Secretary of Defense and Former Television Personality) has called for the Pentagon to investigate the esteemed Senator from Arizona.
I know, I know, it sounds like something out of a sketch by Monty Python. But even the Pythons knew when something was too absurd.
In a way this is liberating. If you ever get pulled over by a police officer and he tries to read you your rights, you can respond arresting the cop — a citizen’s arrest — for committing exactly the same crime that Senator Kelly committed.
Poor George Orwell. The only slogans he could come up with for his fictional dystopia were “War is Peace”. “Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength”. It probably never occurred to him that the real world would end up embracing something as mind-numbingly stupid as “Legal is Illegal”.
