A police officer saved hundreds of lives in Garland, Texas after two Muslim terrorists attacked a free speech rally. Compare this officer’s courage to the frightened criticism we've heard from some politicians and journalists after the attack. Are the politicians and talking heads really that afraid of free speech?
We’ve seen a parade of hypocrisy. We must speak up and defend all our rights. We must do so.. because journalists and politicians won’t. A lone officer did. |

Bigotry, at least in our schools, universities, major media and bureaucracies, is the sine qua non of some folk's version of a 'new america'. As we have repeatedly seen anyone, regardless of race, gender or party and even private citizens, venturing to prod the 'sacred cows' (as identified by progressives), of the 'new order' are set upon mercilessly.
We've seen pizza shop owners, florists, and bakers vilified nationally for exercising their "right" to decline contracts endorsing the LGBT agenda. That 'community' has even attacked its own in the case of a gay hotelier. Conservatives and populists have been attacked by their own government. Conservative speakers can't get a hearing for their views on most major campuses. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
