I have to ask people on the left. You are pro censorship, and you are anti free speech. This is indisputable. It’s just gotten scary-for those of us who observe something other than fantasy football-it has been for quite a while-you already are steadily shutting down free speech on college campuses, with your “free speech ‘zones,'” speech codes, and your so called “microaggressions” (Christmas Vacation, Boyfriend, golf outing) You have shut down any chance of conservative speakers from speaking engagements on college campuses, if faculty does not dis-invite on the millenniums (and gen x, baby boomers) demands, you tear down flyers and shout down speakers because they offer a different point of view. You have the Attorney General of the United States admitting openly that she had spoken to the FBI about prosecuting people for what they say. You read that right-(you should alr
eady know). Our head of the Justice department actually trying to prosecute free speech…There should be outrage, but there is nothing-nobody even cares-the less we care the more they take-because they now know that Americans no longer care about their constitutional rights. Now Michael Savage a highly rated radio talk show host, is being yanked mid-show from New York, then many major markets when he launched into a segment concerning Hillary Clinton’s health. The left has tried to shut down talk radio in the past.
FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education), in their annual study of campus speech codes (this is frightening), found that in over 400 of America’s largest and most prestigious universities, 62% restrict speech protected by the first amendment. We are turning out graduates-our future leaders, that no longer value the bill of Rights-they believe your free speech should be restricted-your speech…..let me dumb it down a bit for the average American-people are already restricting what you can and can not say. Liberals-the left, support the path to totalitarian control. They shut down peoples right to assembly by committing criminal acts to shut down rallies they do not like.
Some of the words considered “problematic” on the campus of the University of New Hampshire include: Mothering
Fathering
Illegal Alien

Poor person
Obese

Healthy
Orientals
Freshmen
Media news blackouts, Media lies, any opposing views or contradicting alternative views are being attacked and shut down. What about what when it backfires against the left? Will they be cheer-leading then? This IS a national crisis. We are all taking the Neville Chamberlain approach. President Obama in addressing the United Nations said we should be bound by international norms-giving up some freedom in favor of multilateral “restraints.” Where does that leave the Constitution? It will be subservient to International law. They have been out in the open pursuing this because they no know that naive Americans just don’t care anymore. We have the attention span of a gnat, which insults well meaning, decent gnats. We don’t believe America can really go down-how arrogant. The Roman Empire lasted 507 years. What’s left of Rome is ruins, they were just as convinced Rome would last forever. Is it too much extrapolation on my part? History tells me that I am not. When the word “healthy” is “problematic” on the campus of an institution of higher learning, we need to seriously be concerned-these trends never reverse themselves, and they never stop their forward progress, save the outbreak of civil war, or war with other nations. It’s sad to me what my children are inheriting, and you should be concerned for your own as well, no matter where you fall on the political spectrum.
