Freedom of speech has come to mean freedom to agree with the current governmental zeitgeist.

In 1215 human rights meant a king could be restrained by his subjects.

Contrast that with what the American left considers human rights today.

Its enough to bring you to tears.

” John Robson and Brigitte Pellerin are proposing to tell that story in an anniversary documentary to be filmed in America, Britain and elsewhere. The film is being crowdfunded via Kickstarter, and they’re already three-quarters of the way toward their goal. If you live in the British Isles, North America, Australia, New Zealand or one of the other realms of liberty spawned by Magna Carta, I do hope you’ll consider chipping in and supporting John and Brigitte’s documentary. I can’t think of anyone better to tell this story and its meaning for those of us around the English-speaking world who enjoy its blessings today.”

I plan on donating.

"Too many people today understand the word "rights" to mean baubles and trinkets"
