George Orwell predicted that a small group of totalitarians would take over formerly free, democratic societies. He predicted that ordinary citizens would be punished by the government for expressing any view deemed incorrect by the state.

Orwell predicted that ordinary citizens would be terrorized and deceived into compliance.

It is happening today in the United States.

Freedom of speech is rapidly being eliminated. Ordinary citizens are losing their jobs for simply telling the truth.

The leftist media in Florida will tell you "He wasn't fired, he was re-assigned." Same with the liberal superintendent of schools in Miami-Dade, Alberto Carvalho.

Carvalho cheered this principal's removal, asserting ANY speech, even if it UNINTENTIONALLY OFFENDS the protected class, is cause for punishment.

Every time Alberto speaks, the media in Florida fawn over him...this is the status of the 1st Amendment in America today....the left is given freedom to speak all the time. The conservatives are told to shut up.

A teacher friend told me that all teachers had been instructed to forgo any use of social media. (In other words, if you don’t want to be fired for thought crimes, don’t commit thought crimes.)

Freedom of speech is rapidly being eliminated.

History will note that its the "progressive" statists - again - doing the oppressing, while 'good men do nothing'.

And they will end up killing people en mass unless stopped. As they always do.

Santayana said it.

He wasn’t fired. He was liberated from his job to find other opportunities.

This is what we are dealing with. TPP is their end game. Read it at least twice to grasp it all, lots to digest. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/805656/posts?page=1

Yep. Some people are just realizing that you can lose your job because of what you think.

A civil suit for improper dismissal should be on the way....
