Finally
in the PC world that stifles discourse and freedom to ideas express,
A
federal appellate ccurt rejects the USPTO’s attempts to freedom of speech
suppress
Simon
Tam the founder of the Slants the first all Asian-American band
Applied
for a trademark which was rejected by the USPTO out of hand
The
term Slants might be disparaging to Asians, a dreaded PC insult
Based
on 1st Amendment rights the court overturned the results
This
is not a case of a bunch of rednecks trying incite violence by creating a
Yellow Peril fear
But
a band of Asians marking their brand to listeners to be able to the Slants steer
The
owner of the Redskins cannot believe his fortune unwrapped under the judicial Christmas
Tree
At
last a wound to the growing tide of PC suppression flooding free
Trademarks
are a useful tool to expand sales and protect the brand
If
a mark is deemed by consumers to be offensive, a wave of rejections will on the
seller quickly land
The
market will make its choice
The
feds must never be the deciding voice
Classic
case in point as ISIS runs unchecked cutting off heads
ISIS
Pharmaceuticals changed its name so any connect to jihad the market would shed
Pity
the poor idiots masquerading as students at an esteemed university as Yale
Signing
a petition to ban the First Amendment shows stupidity beyond the pale
But
to the left the First should only mean it is protected only if with them you
agree
Such
closed mind thinking would have prevented us from being the home of the brave
and the land of the free
