And the message is this: We are still under assault from our betters in the ruling class. You know, the Harvard educated, inside-the-beltway blatherers who wish to smother free speech completely with political correctness; who believe that Socialism really will work this time around, now that they’re in charge; who simply want to control our lives in all ways great (healthcare), small (lightbulbs), and everything in between...

The firing of Juan Williams at NPR is a turning point for our nation. Every one of us: conservative, liberal, independent, Tea Partier, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Pastafarian, whatever… Every. One. Of. Us. must decide: Is this what we really want? Has it really come to the point where a respected commentator and author and liberal and minority — or any one of us — can be summarily fired from his job for simply telling the truth?

I’ve been asking people for years that they get defunded. There’s no reason why we (conservatives) should pay for their bile, if so, then let liberals pay for Limbaugh’s program; I bet they’ll really get a kick out of that!

A big part of the politically correct code comes from these ethnic studies programs in colleges. This can be outlawed at the state level, I think Arizona has done this already. It has been past time to do this as well as defund these race-based groups.
