Censorship is alive on college campuses

Al Sharpton, censorship, Christians, college campuses, free speech, gays, Islam, Jews, Muslim

Recently an editorial appeared in my alma mater West Virginia University’s student newspaper the Daily Athenaeum, calling for the censorship of certain speech. One of our most precious rights in America is the right to free speech. It is a fundamental tenant of a free society. It is why so many people want to come here and live. Unfortunately there has been a movement by the left to redefine and limit free speech. Free speech now must now be constrained by shackles of diversity. The writer was offended by a speaker, Tyler Herrinton, who spoke about his religious beliefs. I never heard of this guy and did not hear him speak. I am not defending him but his right to say what he believes. It seems as though he has violated the new rules of free speech. It is acceptable to speak out against Christians and Jews, and conservatives and whites but we must not speak against Muslims, the religion of Islam, gays or minorities.

It is ironic that college campuses, formerly hotbeds of free speech, are now places where free speech is restricted. There is no outcry when our government funds “art” like the “Piss Christ”, which is very offensive to Christians. There is no outcry when the New Black Panthers state that they want to eliminate the white race or when Al Sharpton calls white people “crackers” or Jews “diamond dealers”. And Muslims have so terrified the world that no one can speak out against terrorists’ attacks for fear of insulting their religious beliefs. College campuses welcome terrorists like Bill Ayers to speak but they throw stuff at conservatives like Ann Coulter if they are invited to speak and call for the school to ban speakers who don’t follow their politically correct ideals.

The writer frames her call for selective censorship under the tired cloth of diversity. Diversity is a good thing when it is a natural outcome of a free society. It is not a good thing when forced upon a society. College campuses should be a place for listening to all ideas, not just those on the left side of the political spectrum.

We have elected the Enemy!

fascist, main stream media, Muslim, Netanyahu, Obama, terrorist, View

The main stream media did not want to vette candidate Barack Hussein Obama. Perhaps they knew more than they let on but decided their ideologies were more important than the truth. IBD has been on this for years. This may help explain why Obama chose the View and Letterman over meeting with Netanyahu, and why he still blames Muslim terrorism on a movie that no one watched. This is a must read.

This shows how well the main stream media has done in keeping Americans un-informed.

The Tree of Mamre

Our last post had a fake video. Sadly, this video is real.

“Does it bother you that Obama is a Mormon, and Mitt Romney is black?”

Democracy can only survive with an informed electorate, but these people have no clue. If we are lucky, they will be too busy watch TV to bother voting.

(H/t Half-Baked Sourdough)

The Steel Ceiling of Dependency

Democrat Party, dependency, food stamps, Obama, Ronald Reagan, welfare

One of the big lies that the Democrat Party wants you to believe is that everyone in the lower, middle and upper class are the same people year after year. In reality people move up and down through the classes routinely. Do you remember the time when everyone dreamed of doing well and becoming wealthy? That is the American dream. And we all want our children to do better in life than we did. Now wealth is demonized by the Democrats.

Obama wants the lie to be reality. The Congressional Budget Office reports that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits (food stamps), a 70% increase from 2007. This is expected to continue to grow through 2014. The strategy is to keep the same people dependent on the federal government for their day to day needs. This locks in votes at the expense of human dignity.

Ronald Reagan wisely stated that we should measure compassion by the number of people we take off of welfare, not add to it. He also believed in America’s greatness and in the greatness of America’s people. Obama and the Democrat Party do not believe in the spirit of the American people. They do not believe that they are capable of success without the giant helping hand of the federal government. Hopefully the people will realize that one hand of the government is handing out goodies the other is pushing down on the heads of Americans so that they remain stuck in the despair of dependency.

Democrat Party, FDR, Obama, welfare

“The lessons of history … show conclusively that continued dependence upon
relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to
the national fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic,
a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.”
— Franklin Delano Roosevelt
