- Soviet Leader Nikita Khrushchev, 1959
Having made tremendous
progress throughout history, advancing, protecting, and promoting freedom of
speech, we find ourselves at a threshold when book burnings, forbidden free
expression of ideas, and printing for the elite consumption, not the masses, do
not seem like such a thing of the past, even though we have the Internet for
now.
Free speech must now be
interpreted and filtered through the warped minds of the progressive academia,
Hollywood, and the main stream media who have learned absolutely nothing from
the atrocities of history.
Free speech by
progressives is government-controlled speech that labels dissenting ideas as
hate speech, talk which is not protected, resulting in banning from a country,
like Michael Savage, a school, a meeting, a university, or a job.
Your formerly free speech
is now relegated to a far corner of a university, “free speech zone,” and
subject to violent liberal protests. You are the person who provoked them and
thus must be banned. Pamela Geller found herself attacked for criticizing radical
Islam. She deserved what she got because she provoked them, said liberals.
Liberals despise talk
radio as offensive unless their progressive denizens own and run the show. They
promote political correctness because it is suppression of speech and that is
the end-goal. Michael Savage asked very pointedly on his May 6, 2015 show, “Do
you want self-suppression to empower evil?”
A cartoon is repugnant and
provocative, liberals say. But it is
free speech to stomp and burn the American flag; the woman, who respects our
Stars and Stripes, the freedom it stands for, tries to save it and put out the
flames, and is promptly and unceremoniously arrested.
There is no excuse for
violence if you are provoked. Martin Luther King did not provoke violence
during his march. Christians are not violent when liberals disgustingly display
Jesus in an exhibit floating in urine, or when Hollywood creates characters
that urinate on the crucified Jesus. Nobody attacks filthy rappers or comedians
because we are civilized and understand that offensive speech is protected. We
just change the channel and refuse to watch or buy their filth advertised as music,
art, or theater.
But we are allowing the
killing of free speech for the silent majority. We allow the indoctrination of
our children into abhorrent ideas spewed from the halls of academia and we pay
higher and higher tuitions to such universities.
Boston University incoming Assistant
Professor of Sociology and African-American Studies, Saida Grundy, has made
several anti-Whites comments via Tweeter such as “White masculinity isn’t the
problem for America’s colleges, white masculinity is THE problem for America’s
colleges.” The school responded that the professor is practicing her freedom of
speech. Really? How many white people have lost their jobs for lesser comments
deemed as hate speech or unacceptable?

Across the pond, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown exercises her freedom of speech, “I
don’t like white men, I want them to be a lost species,” while conservative talk
show host Michael Savage is still banned from Britain. http://www.breitbart.com/london/2014/06/24/yasmin-alibhai-brown-i-don-t-like-white-men-i-want-them-to-be-a-lost-species/
Liberals view free speech as progressive ideas which are indisputable and non-debatable.
Their version of science and of reality is settled. If you object, reject, and
try to debate the progressive, regressive, and oppressive minority in control
with reason and fact, you are a hate monger, an Islamophobe, a homophobe, a
terrorist, a traitor, and a bigot. Progressives say that we should all be
capitulators to leftist Marxist ideology and Leninist indoctrination,
worshippers of global warming, and appeasers to radical Islam.
We allow indoctrination
into Islam in our schools (wearing hijab for a day, covering heads during field
trips to mosques, being Muslim for a day, covering our cherished Christian symbols
in order to appease uncomfortable Islamists). We allow the promotion of mob
justice by the very elected officials who are supposed to maintain law and
order.
Having been the
victim of abject and blatant discrimination in the halls of academia during my
college years and teaching career, I have to wonder, how many America-loving,
outstanding college teachers and straight A students were passed up during the
application process for employment or admission to a university so that America-hating
affirmative action quotas were fulfilled?
