The Left's War On Free Speech (1 Viewer)

[aquapub]

If liberals are the party of free speech, then why do conservatives have to travel with teams of armed body guards due to constant assaults and attempted assaults?

Why did Democrats try to ban Ann coulter's last book from the shelves?

And most recently, why is it that a professor who dared to express disagreement with the "pro-diversity" crowd about the ultra-violent "religion of peace" ON HIS OWN TIME (this would be, as opposed to all the Ward Churchills out there who use their classrooms as propaganda tools-liberals call THAT free speech) is under attack by campus organizations who want him fired?

Free speech? There is no other logical conclusion one can draw from the behavior of liberals but that they support free anti-American speech, like flag-burning (not that that is actual speech), and free liberal speech, but not ACTUAL free speech.

There's one hiding under my bed!

Call out the Guard! :rofl

I'd certainly disagree with an attempt to ban Coulter's book. While you could make an argument that eliminating sheer idiocy is a good idea, it is not a basis for banning speech, IMO.

Ill chime in now:

Liberals attack free speech for the sake of being politically correct, and then claim to defend unpopular speech. Conservatives attack free speech for the sake of security, religion, or to stifle dissent.

If I had to pick the lesser of the two evils (we are talking extremists right) I would lean towards those who were err for security sake rather than politically correct hypocrites.

"Yeah that's not free speech because I don't support it"
:roll:

Why would I want to have you eliminated?

As for Coulter's easy to verify mountains of evidence and valid points, well, I definitely see no reason to even want to ban her, but I can see why free speech phonies would ditch their "principles" to try and ban her.

Very Good. You've captured the left's theme quite well. :applaud

LOL, you call that the lesser of two evils. To force a religion on people and to keep them from questioning the gov't? Oh man, thats a good one. Keep it up! Nothing better than a good joke in the morning.

Yeah, just like her "mountains of evidence" that call evolution just a made up theory by the left huh? I watched her on C-Spand promoting her book the other day and she actually said, "The only people who believe in evolution can't even be called real scientists. Their only biologists. Not physicists, not chemical engineers." LOL, yeah, 'cause chemical engineers and physicists know how animals behave and the variations in their offspring better than those who study living creatures. Typical Ann Coulter logic, "A pastor would know more about crime than a police officer."

I never condoned the religious extremists, or the authoritarian ones. The ones who do it for security I can respect even though I disagree with.

Fair enough, I would have to agree. However, it looked like you were grouping everybody into two sides, which case that would make me choose the other. BUT, if it WERE between those who do it for security and those who do it to protect the rights of everybody equally (racially speaking), I'd have to say security. Between security and protecting our constitutional rights of freedom, I'd choose freedom because its more important.

What do you think, security or freedom? Personally I mean. Just wondering.

 

[Spartacus FPV]

Freedom can be taken from you, security is a myth. We do all we can to be safe but if there is just one aweful truth to life it's that even something small and ugly can destroy something big and beautiful. But I would never sacrifice any of my liberty for security. I choose freedom, or death.

Hmm, well said. I believe that's basically what this country was founded on.

Thanks for another oxymoron from the left. I think you just made the OP's point. :mrgreen:

 

[mixedmedia]

Here we go again.....

....so why are right-wing extremists always trying to get books pulled out libraries and television and radio shows taken off the airwaves?

Give me a break. Extremists on both sides act like reactionary asses. You yourself might want to try scooching over to the left a hair, aquapub, breathing comes a lot easier when you're not holding your breath waiting for the next big outrage to come down the pike.
