I think the point is, it's happening here too and there is seemingly nothing the left won't do to attack our Constitution and those of us who value our God given and Constitutional rights.

Speak out anywhere on social media against the herd mentality of the left and one is subject to viscous unending attacks not just publicly, but in their job, their employer, their families, etc.. People in this country are destroyed for defending their Second Amendment rights online almost daily.

I hear so many ad hominem attacks against PDJT, America, the Second Amendment, speech that doesn't agree with the progressive left just in the place I work and make a living that I almost don't dare speak up.

It's stifling, and it's happening here too.

Not just in England.

I am minded of the student walkout, and the student whose sign didn't match all the others.

Basically, it said "I support 2A" instead of "Roast the NRA" or "Give up your rights so we can be safe" like all the others. All legal opinions to have (on open threats of violence or profanity) yet the principal sent him home.

He sent the boy home because he was afraid there'd be a riot, of course. And what's right and wrong sometimes loses out over what's safe and comfortable.

Agreed, miss marmelstein; and I’m also no follower of Peter Hitchens, who is often snobbishly obtuse. The current “hate speech” policing of internet and public speech in the UK is appallingly craven and needs a well-deserved hiding from free speech advocates like Mrs. Katie Hopkins.

The crack-brained Marxist Jeremy Corbyn is a disgrace to his country and should never be allowed to become UK PM. Brexit forever!

I follow Katie on Twitter. I don’t always agree with her, lol, and she’s got some mouth, but she’s a free woman. I wish Tucker would have her back on again. She’s great.

I’ve never been a P. Hitchens fan. He’s a typical British conservative which is almost always anti-American.

Did it bankrupt every hospital in NYC? It might have but since my brother is now undergoing tests for a very strange illness, I have been dragging around hospitals from Montefiore in the Bronx to New York University (with every hospital in between) in midtown and they all seem to be doing fine.

As I said, I’m not disputing.

In the early 1980s the city of New York City was on the verge of being bankrupt and a lot of the hospitals and Hospital systems with in New York City ended up having to take state and federal bailouts. But those bailouts are what you have today in the form of Medicare and Medicaid it federalized a lot of what used to be local control over the medical system

That's what I was wondering about. Whether the result of bankruptcy was Medicaid taking up the slack. Every sign in the emergency room mentions treatment to anyone.

I do remember a friend of mine getting a free appendetomy in the 1970s! Saved her life.

Agreed, mm, Katie’s delightfully bitchy in confronting, better affronting, her censorious adversaries who are “concerned,” better whinging, about “hate speech” (i.e., ideas they don’t like). Cheers,

Kim Philby

Who was working for the Soviets who also supported and fostered Islamic terror around the globe, rather interesting.
