Free Speech For Me But Not For Thee

Our Canadian neighbors are somewhat more restrictive of political speech than we are here in the USA.
Up there in the Frozen North, it’s not permitted to speak out against Islam. In fact, if you’re not a Muslim, quoting the Koran is considered hate speech.

When an Obamaton Says Everyone’s Entitled To Their Opinion…

…they never mean it, and don’t you forget it. That’s the truth, boys & girls. When they say they want a discussion, what they want is an echo chamber, nothing more and nothing less. I’ve not yet seen it fail.

More than that, they should resist every “soft” effort to make speech out of bounds on the grounds that it can hurt someone’s feelings. Absent this constant vigilance to protect our [...]

Nothing New at the Royal York Hotel

So I headed down to the Royal York hotel this morning to catch the Law Is Cool kids’ press conference.
Faisal Joseph (dressed a little like Huggybear in his gold accoutrements, yet looking a lot like a 10th grade English teacher that offers the girls “extra credit”), counsel for the Canadian Islamic Congress, sat amid the [...]

Only In America

Certainly not in Canada, where we have Human Rights Commissions and Richard Warman suing anyone who invokes him.
U.S. free-speech advocates on Tuesday gave their annual “muzzle” awards to violators including police who charged a woman for swearing at her overflowing toilet, and a motor vehicles department that deemed a “GETOSAMA” license plate offensive.

Moving My Domains Off of Islamic Censors at Network Solutions

I was so busy yesterday that I missed the dust up over Network Solutions decision to cave in to the interests of disgruntled Muslims and block the domain that Geert Wilders was planning on using for a 15 minute mini-documentary protesting radical Islam.
