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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
