Hard to believe this is happening in our lifetimes.

1984 is literally only a decade away...watch the movie minority report and decide for yourself if the stuff in that move will NOT happen in our lifetime...I’m betting the farm that it will...

Thoughts, feelings, hate crimes, political correctness. Freedom bleeds away every day, yet no one (apart from this forum) seems to care.

He's guilty, guilty I say. Publishing drawings he knew to be offensive to religious people.

Government Censorship in Canada began with Pierre Elliot Trudeau. He and his socialist running dogs did not want politicians publicly criticized because they were " Francophone."

"Maise, Non! You deeed nawt zay zat, You said me, I ham wrong habout I want biligualizm? Me, High complin a dat Commission dere!" And Canada stood for THAT.

Now Canada reaps what they have sown, a wholesale loss of freedom.

Lesson: Freedom requires eternal vigilance.

We in the USA should never forget that.

The Hispanics march as we speak.

And Big Brother is ready to help them.

Officer McGovern replied, "You're entitled to your opinions, that's for sure."

At that exact point, I would have been sorely tempted to look her in the eye, thank her and start packing up my papers to go.

What? what are you doing?

Aren't we done here? Didn't you just say I was "entitled to my opinions, that's for sure"???

That means you've just cleared me, doesn't it?

Unless, of course, you were LYING to me, And if you were LYING to me, that means I can't depend on you to NOT LIE to a judge and jury too, doesn't it?

I chose to believe that you are an honorable and truthful woman, and take you at you word...

I would welcome Freedom Loving Canadian refugees as long as they entered openly and declared themselves.

The comments being made are amazing. The Canadians seem to welcome muslim domination.

It may appear that way, but they are actually terrified of it. People often take the side of those who scare them the most. They think being nice to the bullies will make them their friends. Typical liberal stupidity.

Remember, they will use you until they are in charge, then they will kill you last.

1. Canadian style healthcare is only one of the great ideas that the Dems want to import to the U.S. citizenry; this is one of the others.

2. As horrible as this seems, does anyone seriously doubt that the Dems have this in the works for conservative speech?

3. Why do so many people, with an air of superiority, scoff at the idea of a "slippery slope" argument, then wail when the next truncheon bops their collective noses?

4. Republicans are labeled fascists by the left, yet Pubbies would never dream of, and have never been proponents of hate crime legislation. Democrats, on the other hand, vote for these laws consistently. Have we really come to that time in America when 43% of the electorate supports these communist proposals and votes for the candidates that enact them?
