Free speech on the run, even in the home of the brave

Constitutionally protected speech, no matter how offensive, is a glorious and uniquely American invention, Neil Macdonald writes. But these days it seems to be under attack from thought police everywhere, even in the U.S.

    For those who want to gloat about how this is mostly a lefty phenomenon, think about the reaction here to the Westboro church's behavior at military funerals and the reaction here about kicking the shit out of them in retaliation. Or even how the FRITP guys deserved a good beating. That's what McDonald is talking about, the repercussions to free speech from private individuals, not government censorship. (in the US).

    I would like to see us move more to the US model tho, get rid of hate speech laws.

    Never happen. Curtailing free speech has become a cottage industry in Canada that employs thousands. How would they survive if they couldn't tell us what to think and say.
