We have got a whole bunch of news today in which pansies abound from coast to coast.   In what should come as no surprise, the first story comes out of San Francisco where anti-freedom mayor Gavin Newsome is proposing a tax on beverages high in fructose corn syrup.  Yep, that Coke is going to cost more so your government can provide oversight of what you drink.   For those of you educated by the government this means that you are losing more rights, more money and the ability to make individual choices.   Remember, liberals only care about choice on one issue and one issue only.  They loathe all other choice, especially when it comes to free speech, the right to defend yourself or your property, education or retirement.  Aside from their single issue, they believe that all other choices must be made by the government because only they know what is best for us. 

In another story, unsurprisingly coming from government academia, broadcast professor David Hazinski wants government regulation of citizen media.   This type of blatant violation of our first amendment rights would have far reaching effects as it would require government oversight of everything said or written by each and every American in a public forum.   Consider the state of our biased mainstream media today and just imagine the internet, YouTube, myspace, Drudge, Townhall or even goldenpansy.com being regulated by the likes of PBS and the Clinton News Network.   The only reason that liberals like Hazinski seek this type of oversight is control of the airwaves which may be popular in Venezuela or Cuba, but it is something completely un-American and deserving of a Pansy Award. 

Moving onto New Jersey, we have Jon Corzine, another criminal coddling liberal signing a bill banning the death penalty into law.   This move has spared the life of Jesse Timmendequas, the sex offender who killed little Megan Kanka and inspired Megan’s law back in the day and age when common sense and conservative ideals prevailed.   Perhaps Corzine can show a little more disrespect to the victims of horrible crimes and just release all the murderous sex offenders back into the community to shore up support for his re-election bid which certainly won’t be successful if only real Americans were allowed to vote.  

So here we have it, three very different stories that all reflect the insidious nature of liberalism.   All three of these characters are worthy of a Pansy Achievement Award, so I am asking you to tell me who is the biggest pansy of the week!   Let’s put it to a vote and see what our readers have to say.   You will find the survey at the following URL:
