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 |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
