VIRGINIA AND THE NEW ASSAULT ON FREE SPEECH

I have recently seen on TV, as a result of the murder, protests, and violence in Virginia, various Left Wing spokesmen and women stating that free speech does not protect "hate speech." This is a view all to common on university campuses. Because of the Charlottesville clashes, this may be the time of crunch.
THINK! If racist speech is forbidden, we must dump Huck Finn, even if it is the great American novel. What if a book reports Blacks commit violent crimes at a much higher rate than whites or Asians? Some will find that "racist." true but racist, and therefore a hate crime. If the local tv news shows a black criminal hi-jacking a car, that too will be deemed racist. The anchor arrested, or grovelling on camera that he meant nothing by showing the video. The Left will soon try to impose Communist notions of "free speech," - no fascist speech, not hate speech, no racist speech. The result - no free speech. If the Left wins on this issue, if they somehow get biased judges to reinterpret the American Constitution and its protection of free speech, then even on Fox News we will get only an American version of the old Pravda.

STERLING'S FINE AND AMERICAN FREEDOM

     If an American can be fined $2.5 million for racist statements made in private - and revealed to the public by a vindictive whore - then almost any American could be fined and lose all their private property.  Donald Sterling. owner of the LA Clippers, has been fined an enormous amount of money for statements made to his mistress in private.  Most Americans have at some point made what someone might consider a racist statement.  The hearer may be more inclined to deem the statement racist if they aware it could result in the confiscation of all the assets of the "racist."
     In a nation where freedom is speech is enshrined in the Constitution, we drift ever closer to the tyranny associated the the old Soviet Union, where critical comments about the "leader of the people" or comments deemed racist might result in confiscation, loss of job, loss of apartment, and deportation to work to death in the Gulag.  It is time to stand against the emerging Soviet America.
