Hey NYT,
You should have asked a few of Stalin’s victims about free speech. They were dying to tell you.

Sticks and stones...yeah, that one and another that comes to mind is “consider the source”.

There are so many more!

The way it is today, maybe everyone should just get on line and shout “Vendetta! Vendetta! at each other all day.

If only all the butt hurt tears could be bottled and sold, then these people could make a decent living and contribute tax revenue...at least.

Another thing is that we are just up to our necks in sappy sap sap sap!
Just watch it in TV commercials alone!
I had to quit watching that.

I always love it when people who work in free speech and free press lecture us about the evils of such things.

That’s the author? Looks like he subsists entirely on soy-milk and tofu.

We all know you must post an excerpt.

But really? You didn’t even want to do that?

What the what?

1) Get some therapy.

2) Find yourself a nice warm safe room and stay there.

3) Do the following:

The New York Times wants to silence anyone who dares disagree with them—this is not complicated stuff.

_They_ are the fascists.

I never have the urge to close someone’s mouth. I simply don’t. It’s really odd. Why would I want that? If they are an idiot then OK, let them speak.

The Objectivists say if free speech is taken away, then it is time for violence. These Ayn Rand people say if free speech is taken away, then it is time to get real rough. I don’t even know if I can quote Ayn Rand’s pope. Leonard Peikoff, on his exact words and he is a philosopher, too.

And what about those phony black lives matter stories -- esp. the tales of the...gentle giant/em>. Not to mention the deification of that other thug, Trayvon Martin.I did my own tribute to St. Trayvon, but you tube removed it and took away my privileges for two months.

The article speaks for itself, go read it. If I had put in an excerpt I suspect that you or some other nitpicking puke would have been nagging at me for some fair use violation.

Get a life.

There once was a little chicken.

One day the little chicken thought the sky was falling.

Chicken little went around saying the sky was going to fall and some said no the sky would not fall.

Yet chicken little believed wholeheartedly the sky would eventually fall in her lifetime.

But the sky did not fall and so chicken little calmed down and was no longer triggered by the envirowhackos.

Moral of the story: DON”T BE A CHICKEN LITTLE!

My generation took pretty seriously, “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me.”

Today it is...


"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words really piss me off BIG TIME!"

Or just plain ‘invader’ works; too.

Then there are “...enemies; foreign and DOMESTIC...” to consider as well.

But it's the THINKING part that REALLY needs to be controlled.

Right, Winston?

Ecclesiastes 10:20 NIV

Do not revile the king even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
