by Sophie Jane Evans. Walmart has been forced to apologize after it apparently agreed to bake an ISIS-themed cake for a Louisiana customer - just a day after refusing to create a Confederate battle flag cake for him.

The Totalitarian Mind Set Of Hurt Feelings
by Scott Lazarowitz. Has freedom of speech become a thing of the past in America? College campuses now are intellectual prisons, and the thin-skinned offendotrons are the guards. And in post-9/11 America you can’t criticize the Regime without being called a “traitor” or “unpatriotic.” The political and social fascists and control freaks ... MOREExperts Urge Congress To Protect Free Speech On Campus

What Does It Mean To Be “Free”?
How you can increase your freedom. When most people think of the term freedom, they think of it politically, in the context of living in a “free” country, for example. The libertarian conception of it is the most clear and relevant to us here: freedom is the ability to do whatever you want, so long as it doesn’t infringe on anyone else’s right to do ... MOREJeffrey Lord: Kirsten Powers’ Profile in Courage
A liberal stands up for liberty. This is a book that had to be written — by a liberal. It won’t help Kirsten Powers for a conservative to say this, either. But in writing The Silencing: How the Left Is Killing Free Speech Ms. Powers has done a service to liberals — if they even understand her significant contribution, which is doubtful. She is a profile in ... MORE
Mallory Millett: Why I Love 'Hate Speech'
I love Pamela Geller. I have known and loved her for years. She is a great American! If only everyone who has the honor of calling himself American could grow courage like hers we would be un-terrorizable as a nation. Pamela gets that we are at war and stands as an example for those of us who have lost our way. Many of you under fifty have ... MOREWarren Beatty: Is The End Of Free Speech Near?
Want hate speech laws? Go to hell. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states (in part): "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech[.]" Regarding free speech, the U.S. Supreme Court, in 1964, with unanimity, said: "... we consider this case [NEW YORK TIMES CO. v. SULLIVAN, 376 U.S. 254] against the background of a ... MOREPamela Geller’s Critics Are Proving Her Point
by David French. Let’s be clear: The great freak-out over Pamela Geller’s “draw Muhammad” contest isn’t about love for Islam or for robust and respectful religious pluralism. Indeed, many of those expressing anguish over blasphemy against Islam show no such concern over even the most vile attacks on the Christian faith. Beyond that, they’re ... MOREFederal Court Strikes Down 'No-Speech Zone' That Let Deputies Confiscate Political Signs On Private Property
by Nick Sibilla. A small business owner who had his political signs confiscated by the government won a First Amendment lawsuit last month in federal court. John Russell owns an auto body shop in Cold Spring, Ky., not far from Cincinnati. He allowed the candidates he supported—both Democrats and Republicans—to put up political signs on his ... MORERich Lowry: Why Won’t Pamela Geller Shut Up?
Real hate speech is shut up or I'll kill you. How dare Pamela Geller get targeted by terrorists bent on committing mass murder. That’s been the reaction of a portion of the opinion elite to news that Geller’s “draw Muhammad” contest in Garland, Texas, was (unsuccessfully) assaulted by two heavily armed Muslim men in an attack the ...
