Let me see. Freedom of Speech — the liberals used to be real hot about this one. I guess it does not apply in merry ol’ England anymore or on American College Campuses. Hilarious. Whatever happened to the liberal battle cry of Voltaire: “I do not agree with a word you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it”?  Now, anyone who disagrees with the liberals is branded with having spoken ‘hate-speech.’ This is a wonderful Orwellian phrase don’t you think?

Gordon Brown’s government protects the right of Pakistani Iman’s living in England to call for the death’s of millions.   But now, this same government lumps Michael Savage in with Russian Skin-heads who have killed over dozen people. Savage is also lumped in with Hamas thugs who have killed children by bashing their heads in with rifle butts.  Savage is a radio talk show host who has never endorsed violence of any sort. This is fact, otherwise he would have been yanked off the airwaves years ago.  Look it up, the law is clear on this.  Savage is a study in controlled rage, and I personally tire of him quickly.  But, he has the right to be as he is.

The west is drifting into Fascism. Quietly we go into this dark because we have the modern equivalents of bread and circuses — welfare and TV, and, we are still rich, fat and at ease. This acquiescence to the abrogation of our rights is a product of our culture becoming lazy, and dependent upon the wisdom those in power.  This is a recipe for future disaster.

I find it unreal the level of hypocrisy in our modern governments.    This list of persona-nongrata always used to have those who actually had committed violence.  Now it appears to becoming a list that includes those who views differ from those in power.  I am sure Savage will appreciate the spike in his listenership.  He typically has 12 Million people listening to his show on any given night.  This is now sure to rise.  The question that remains is under what realistic pretext was Savage banned: he is angry?!?

The desire to ban conservative speech from the public square is most apparent on American College Campuses.  Recently Tom Tancredo was shouted down and his talk interrupted by the local members of the liberal thought police.  Since they apparently could not out-wit, out-logic or at the very least politely disagree with Tancredo they stormed the stage yelling like crazed banshees and unfurled a sign.   So much for defending the rights of others to be heard.

Then there is the  pie throwing at other conservative speakers like Ann Coulter, Mike Adams, and others.  Such erudite thought, I don’t like what you say so I will throw things.  The monkeys at the zoo throw poop when agitated.   The liberals are operating at the same level here.

On can only laugh, sadly, at the habit of college’s not allowing conservative speakers to speak on the campus at all citing worries about incitement to violence or offending someone. These same colleges then give an audience to the likes of Ahmadinejad and porn industry workers.  For some reason, the arguments of the campus authorities ring hollow here.

The left, in its desire to silence its critics, is on the road to totalitarianism.  Just because you think you are correct and earnest in your views, does not mean those who oppose your views think they are less correct or are less earnest in their beliefs.  A free society must tolerate the speech of all voices.  Fearing your goals of achieving your vision of Utopia will not be reached because the voices of opposition may turn the lowing masses against your ideals, is no excuse to silence those voices.  The alternative should be inconceivable.

UPDATE:
“They forget how they called people treasonous who actually had the nerve to say that invading Iraq wasn’t necessarily the best idea.”
Classic liberal red-herring. Name calling by private citizens is equated with government sanctioned censorship.  Also there is a huge difference between being called a name and being shouted down and driven from the public square.  Oh, by the way — Sanity you are an unpatriotic, treasonous, dog.  I look forward to your next pitiful diatribe.
