Here’s a good article on why so-called hate speech is nothing more than an attempt at criminalizing speech offensive to the left. Usually this means speech that makes use of reason and facts against their positions. But the most damaging aspect is that it reinforces identity politics and is fundamentally incompatible with a free society.

Whenever you hear innocuous sounding names describing some policy or law, you should be suspicious. Such is the case with “net neutrality,” which ostensibly ensures that service providers are not blocking websites or interfering with internet access. But this isn’t happening. So-called net neutrality is really a power grab and a stepping-stone for government interference [...]

Political pundit Ann Coulter was scheduled to give a speech at a university in Canada only to have it canceled after a violent mob of indoctrinated protesters (aka students) shut down the event.
Here is living proof that the political left is pretty much the opposite of everything it claims to be, and is basically indistinguishable [...]

While in China president Obama gave a speech in which he said, “I think that the more freely information flows, the stronger the society becomes, because then citizens of countries around the world can hold their own governments accountable.” Trying to contain one’s laughter, Obama also claimed, “I’m a big supporter of non-censorship.” Even Associated [...]

Over at the blog Neo-Neocon there is an article worth mentioning called Tyranny and Obama: success or failure. Basically it is a reminder for Americans to keep up the pressure against this administration despite its declining poll numbers on various issues. Unfortunately, the establishment media is almost entirely controlled by liberals in lockstep with Obama; [...]

The First Amendment has been under attack for some time beginning with the so-called ‘Fairness’ Doctrine. Now they bring us ‘airwave neutrality’ or ‘localism’ and net ‘neutrality’.
Additionally, top Obama administration officials openly attack FOX news (or any person or group that doesn’t tow the Party line). The White House attacks FOX as ‘not being a [...]
