The nation\u2019s universities have become no-go zones for people who do not hew to the one-party, anti-American, anti-police, anti-business attitudes of the violent brownshirts. Quiet, scholarly geniuses like Charles Murray and Heather Mac Donald \u2014 who dare to suggest that Americans should work for a living, who speak out in defense of the police \u2014 are shouted down, shoved, sometimes assaulted, and chased from campuses under guard. Ann Coulter \u2014 a long-time friend, staggeringly intelligent and amusing \u2014 is not permitted to speak at a University of California, Berkeley, campus, because she makes such witty, shining defenses of our great nation. This is a taxpayer-funded campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an atmosphere of terror on campuses across the country. My beloved law school alma mater, mighty Yale, shamed itself recently by blackballing faculty who wanted to keep a sense of humor on the campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The formula is simple. Get a few nonwhite students to label a potential speaker a racist, whether or not there is the slightest evidence he or she is. Then bring in the looney left faculty, then bring in the women with fake charges of sexism, and soon you have a mighty avalanche against the speaker. The fascists call themselves anti-fascists, of course. But anyone with eyes and ears can see and hear who\u2019s burning the books.<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as I know, neither Hitler nor the Japanese ever planned to invade America. Certainly Vietnam didn\u2019t. North Korea is a menace, but a poverty-stricken nation of 22 million is not going to subjugate us and take away our freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

They don\u2019t have to. We\u2019ve done it to ourselves on our campuses. Via our imbecile young people and their pawns and masters in the faculties, we have incinerated the First Amendment. We\u2019ve made sure that our young learn only lies and subversive propaganda against America. Hitler had his storm troopers to silence the opposition. We have Black Lives Matter, which aims to emasculate the main force guarding black lives \u2014 the police \u2014 and which is always in the vanguard at closing down free speech. It\u2019s a catastrophe for this country. It\u2019s not what our young men and their parents fought for, died for, and wept for in The War. Look quick. We\u2019re losing this war for freedom \u2014 and fast.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
