You think you have free speech? Depends on your politics or your skin color or your religion. A French magazine can publish numerous cartoons mocking Christians, a few mocking Jews but one mocking Islam gets them all shot and western governments give cover to the murderers by self-censoring. One set of rules for them, another for us. If you are President Obama, or the mayor of any of the numerous \u201csanctuary cities\u201d in these United States, you can refuse to enforce immigration laws and that\u2019s perfectly fine but if you are a county clerk named Kim Davis in Kentucky who refuses to enforce a court ruling on granting gay \u201cmarriage\u201d licenses, you go straight to jail, do not pass go and do not collect $200. They can do it, but you can\u2019t. You have to follow the rules but they don\u2019t. If you\u2019re a socialist mp from Scotland you can be on a first-name basis with the most murderous dictators in the world, spout treason constantly while taking a paycheck from the Queen and be a national celebrity, a left-wing icon but if you\u2019re name is Tommy Robinson and you say you are against the Islamization of Britain, even while French-kissing a Black, Jewish, homosexual you are going to be called a \u201cNazi\u201d and have the police set on you until they find some reason to put you behind bars.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The point about self-censoring is important.  A good recent example of it was Martin O'Malley's supine retraction<\/a> of 'All lives matter' when confronted by Black Lives Matter idiots.  By the way, it is this sort of disgusting grovelling before thugs and idiots that gives Trump traction.  Probably the main thing animating his supporters is disgust at political correctness. Watch the entire clip; it is less than three minutes.  Sanders at least had the cojones to stand his ground, and the black Kevin Jackson<\/a> talks sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

I read a book by Kevin Jackson recently, Race Pimping<\/em>.  He is one black dude with his head screwed on Right.  To a leftard, that must make him a 'traitor to his race.'<\/span><\/p>\n

By the way, how stupid a phrase!  As if race is a political affiliation. But why not if race is a 'social construct'?  One stupidity breeds another.<\/span><\/p>\n
