A response to this article defending Helen Thomas.

Jamie’s lack of a firm grasp of grammar and syntax is what lost me.

Good post.

I really irks me when people seem to think that the First Amendment allows them to say anything without consequences or repercussions. It just means that the government isn't supposed to arrest you. If your employer decides to fire you ... well ... tough.

Yup, freedom isn’t free.

Good post, I just wanna weep that this has to be explained to us by a Canadian

A good article. Those who do not understand freedom of association or why identity politics which seeks to elevate some categories of person/ideas beyond question or critique are the same people who would have not just our money stolen but our minds shackled.

We see every day the words “diversity” and “tolerance” being used to silence those who have different perspectives. Scientists and teachers are routinely fired or not hired because they do not adhere to liberal bias. Conservatives who think they can accept infringement of freedom of association are suicidal.

This is the same kind of fallacious thinking that leads people to believe that “checks and balances” refers to political parties.

Thanks Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus.

It was with interest that I read Jamie Freeze's article "In Defense of Helen Thomas,"
