Americans were appalled and surprised that Muslims were so offended by the Danish cartoon. Danes wouldn't "apologize" at first because they said that it was a "free speech" issue.
*Then several Muslims pointed out that the Danes haven't the "free speech" that everyone thought. In Denmark and many other European countries, for example, it's against the law, for example, to deny the Holocaust (Jewish Brit writer David Irving sits in an Austrian jail for speaking and writing about the Holocaust.) and their government censors pro-Nazi sites on the Danish Internet.
The Danes then (newspaper and government) apologized for causing so much trouble.
*Amsterdam (maybe all of Holland) censors freerepublic.com. That was the first time, last year, that I had ever seen an Internet Nanny. Very weird.

Americans kept saying the WE have free speech....until we rememeber "hate" crimes....which are crimes of THOUGHT. "Muzzling"? Yes, we have it. However, it's a one-way street. Non-minorites get the full punishment of hate-thought crimes; minorities don't. So, it's even more egregious since the law is unevenly applied.

What else would you expect when important national institutions, such as the newsmedia, Hollywood, academia, and the Democrat Party, have been commandeered by mindless hippies still dancing to the counterculture movement of the 1960s???

If the American people are foolish enough to let this bunch of sociopaths, morons, druggies, and brats take over the country, they deserve what the get.

People were dying in the Gulf states while our government demanded that folks who had already proven their decency by their willingness to leave their own families and travel across the country to help were stuck in a hotel room in a sexual-harassment class.

This is America Soviet Style indoctrination.

Basicaly the party line of sexual-harassment is that girls and gays can attack guys but guys can't joke with each other or "criticize" the "authorities" and the established.
