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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
