FREE SPEECH? IT'S UP TO YOU NOW
We are in a hold-your-breath moment in American history. Our civil liberties tremble in enormous danger from Stalinist legislation that could, within days, largely shatter our freedom of speech. American civil liberties are our best protection from the abuses of government. They define the U.S.A. we know and love, a nation where we can travel and gather in extraordinary freedom, write and read almost anything, and speak our minds in public. Without civil liberties, there will be no America left in which to resist “Islamofascism” or wage “culture wars.” Before any other battle, we must protect our rights.
On Thursday April 12, Sens. Ted Kennedy and Gordon Smith re-introduced the federal thought crimes bill, renaming it after Matthew Shepard, the most famous and misrepresented “hate crime victim.” It’s like the maraschino cherry in the poisoned gin of lies spread about this legislation (See, "Top 11 Reasons You Should Fight Hate Laws" ). Shepard wasn’t the victim of a hate crime and his brutal death was prosecuted without federal help (which is what a federal hate bill is all about).
