Do you think maybe these folks are bitter?

It’s not on the rise, the libs have always used it. They preach they are the people’s party but behind closed doors they still consider blacks to be “untermensch”. It’s just now it’s becoming more fashionable as that party spirals more and more out of control.

“I once believed the liberal agenda would bring about a kinder, gentler existence to our planet. Now I'm beginning to have my doubts.”

Well, I suppose that is progress, such as it is. Personally, I have never doubted liberals for what they are - arrogant, condescending, elitists who believe the rest of us are too stupid to run our own lives without their supervision. And, they want me to give them my guns...

There's nothing in the least "fair" about the radical approach to "free" speech. A class claiming to be oppressed arrogates to itself rights that it has no intention of sharing, based on the lie that such rights were commonly denied it in the past and hence may be legitimately be denied by it to others. One law for everybody has no place in this Balkanized little political delusion.

Village Voice columnist Nat Hentoff wrote a book on the topic come years ago - Free Speech For Me - Not For Thee. Some of the examples are a bit dated - Anita Bryant, for one - but the theme is more true now then when it was written. Speech codes are power plays, and what is significant about them isn't the specific speech they cover but the ability of authority to render and enforce them.
