Consider Robert Jensen, a professor at the University of Texas who calls the U.S. a terrorist nation, asserts that American policy in Afghanistan is a "war of lies" and that a secretive "small elite seeking to extend its power" has tricked the public into supporting apparent anti-terrorism that is actually "the culmination of a decade of U.S. aggression."

We should consider giving him round-the-clock police protection. Without it, some well-meaning but psychologically unstable patriot might blow the scumbag traitor's head off with a shotgun. We wouldn't want that to happen. Which is why I say we should consider offering him police protection.

Robert Jensen = typical traitor leftist who wants all of the rights but none of the responsibilty!

To Mz. McKinney, et. al.: It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and confirm it to the world.

A citizen should possess "an undoubted right to lay what sentiments he pleases before the public," Blackstone wrote in his "Commentaries" -- which James Madison consulted often while working on drafts of the First Amendment wording -- but "must take the consequences" for any reaction.

Blackstone's Commentaries should be required reading for high school, along with the entire Constitution.
But then again, I don't think most 12th graders could comprehend it.

*bump* for great justice

This is an excellent article. I'm tired of Cynthia McKinney (and other race warlords) crying "racism" when someone criticizes their opinions. They have the right to say what they want... and I have the right to call them traitors and idiots.

FINALLY - a sane and intelligent voice in the wilderness of the PC crowd.

My, how the worm has turned.

These leftists have eliminated free speech on campus and in the workplace. Conservative violators of their written or de facto speech codes pay for violations with their reputations, and sometimes their careers. But when these same lefties are only criticised, rather than threatened in the same way as they have threatened conservatives, they squeal like stuck pigs.

And while that squeal is music to my ears, I hope (but do not expect) that the lefties will discover a new devotion to respect for free speech from all ends of the political spectrum.

Bump - read this in the WSJ today in the airport. When I got home, I wanted to make sure it got posted.

Also, I understand there are back orders for this book on the same subject:
The New Thought Police: Inside the Left's Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds by Tammy Bruce
It can be ordered from drlaura.com

Ma Bell will second that !

I just read "The New Thought Police" by Tammy Bruce. I ordered it from Amazon.com. Had it in a few days. It's a great book. Gets right to the point.
