BO Now Taking Private Property Without Compensation

(Before It's News)

Whether you agree or disagree with the use of the name Washington Redskins in relation to that particular NFL team, what the Obama administration is now doing via the power of its Department of Justice to strip the commercial rights of the name and logo is outright theft by the federal government. It is the taking of private property without compensation.

Apparently that doesn’t matter, because the this White House is doing it anyway.

This basis for the Obama administration’s argument is that the term “Redskin” is offensive to some, therefore is not afforded trademark protection. What offense the administration is citing is unclear given there has not been on complaint leveled against the trademark rights of the Washington Redskins according to a Washington Times report.

Even more troubling is that the Obama White House has taken it upon itself to pick and choose what is worthy of First Amendment protections and what is not. Remember, reader, this is the administration that just passed via Executive Order sweeping regulatory powers over the Internet. It would be foolish not to think that the same principle of attacking a football team because of its name and logo will not be repeated throughout the Internet where political speech can be deemed offensive speech and therefore not afforded basic First Amendment protections.

The Washington Redskins have enjoyed ownership of that name for decades. It is the team’s property, a means by which it earns revenue. The Obama DOJ is taking that property without compensation under the guise of political correctness gone mad. Poll after poll has shown a vast majority of Americans have no issue with the team name. Even a majority of Native Americans polled indicate the same indifference, though the Obama administration also cites more recent (and smaller sample) polls done by liberal college professors that indicate a majority do take offense to the team name and logo.
