FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS DISAPPEARING IN AMERICA
I don't think most Americans appreciate "Freedom of Speech." I am not referring to the ABUSE or MISUSE of free speech, in the form of libel, slander, obscenity, profanity, defamation, political correctness, double speak or revisionism.
Most (if not all) the countries of the world are very careful about the things they say. This is not because of a high moral standard, but because there are societal, religious, political, cultural guidelines that folks are afraid to cross. Do not confuse the destructive repercussions of oppressive rule with self imposed standards of dignity and decorum and compassion.
We, as a society and nation, have been moving toward controlled speech recently. We refer to it as "politically correct speech." But this oppression of speech is also being used to change history, redefine religions, raise prejudices against certain groups. This is seen in the attacks and false accusations and forced removal of Southern heritage, history and culture (not to be confused with racism and slavery, which were ugly parts of the history of The United States of America, and the rest of the known world), and the defamation of the entire southern region of our country. This has opened the door for the same kind of verbal and legal and societal attacks on Christianity.
Liberals (as seen in BHO) champion the failed political, economic, religious, philosophical and social leanings of the rest of the world, and they want America to be like those countries (go figure). This begins with speech that promotes deceit and forbids truth. The rest of the world has a head start, but Liberal America is quickly getting in step.
