I had dinner Friday night at the Beverly Hills home of a retired "journalist" and as usual, the discussion was mostly about politics. The topic of censorship came up (Rush, etc.) and it was sad to hear that all in attendance are now in favor of censorship... "where appropriate".

I asked questions like "are you against free speech"... responses were things like "we have to be sure that only the truth is spoken" and "there needs to be control over thoughts expressed".

I can’t stand too much sex and violence in movies.

But rather than demand the banning of those movies, I can simply choose not to watch.

If they don’t like what we have to say, they don’t have to pop in and look.

It’s still a free country, sort of, I guess.

I’m willing to be that it won’t be long. There IS a conspiracy afoot to silence anyone who doesn’t agree with Obama and the liberal/communist/socialist agenda. We’re in for a rough ride.

"we have to be sure that only the truth is spoken" and "there needs to be control over thoughts expressed".

They never want to finish the thought. That is, in their world 'free speech', who decides what is 'truth' and who exercises 'control'?

Incredible. If I am you I will avoid contacting any of those hateful left wing lunatics. I have no liberal friends and I am intending to keep it as such.

Kudos to you. I would have barfed all over all of the dinner guests.

Strange, didn’t Beverly Hills used to be part of America a long time ago?
