Knowing Glenn somewhat, this really troubles me. As a historian, I ask, where have we seen it before. John C. Calhoun raised the issue of speech and press when it came to slavery, saying (and I’m too lazy to go get the quotation right now), “If we are entitled to have slaves, then we are entitled to have them in peace,” and he went on to explain that this meant free from criticism or comments in papers or from abolitionists. In other words, Calhoun not only wanted perpetual slavery, but he wanted an absolute gag on ANYONE criticising it in any way. Does this sound familiar when it comes to homosexuality?
...or “hate speech” of any kind, including criticisms of Islam, linking Islam to Islamic terrorists and Islamic terrorism, or — my personal favorite — leftwing wrecker politics suck as the global warming scam and use of the RICO Act against abortion protesters. Thanks LS!
