Do We Really Need Freedom of Speech?
Do we really need free speech? Lots of people are asking that question nowadays.
Do we really need free speech? Lots of people are asking that question nowadays. Certainly conservatives aren’t, but a lot of other people are beginning to wonder if free speech is all that it’s cracked up to be. And the tyrannical left is waging an absolute war against free speech, especially that which contradicts their lies. In the video below, Chris Widener, founder of PolitiCrossing and the President of the American Freedom Tour, explains just why important free speech is. Watch below.

“Freedom of speech. The ability to express yourself. It’s a cherished idea — as well it should be. Most of us who live in liberal Western democracies think of it as a basic human right. People have fought and died for it. But now we may be in danger of losing it.
The threat is not coming from without — from external enemies — but from within. A generation is being raised not to believe in freedom OF speech, but rather that they should have freedom FROM speech — from speech they dislike. This is a threat to both pluralism and democracy itself.
We see this in Europe where “sensitivity-based” censorship attempts to ban anything deemed hateful or even just hurtful, and to ban criticism of religion, especially Islam.But the United States, despite its strong Constitutional protections in the Bill of Rights is far from immune from the rising trend of suppression of speech, or what is sometimes called political correctness. This is especially true at America’s colleges and universities, the place where our future leaders are educated and where you’d expect speech to be the most free.
Highly restrictive speech codes are now the norm on campuses, not the exception. According to a study by my organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education — FIRE — 54% of public universities and 59% of private universities impose politically correct speech codes on their students. And thanks to recent Department of Education guidelines 100% of colleges may adopt speech codes in the coming years.”

What Did She Say? Always Watch the Left’s Words!
Words matter. Language matters. Leftists are master manipulators of people.

Words matter. Language matters. Leftists are master manipulators of people. They use language to change people’s beliefs by changing their thoughts and how they think about situation and policies. They can take dangerous riots with fire and explosions and death and call them, “mostly peaceful protests.” Recently Joe Biden’s press secretary, Jen Psaki, used a phrase to describe a group of people that was especially egregious in the way she tries to reframe the view of that group of people. Chris Widener, the founder of PolitiCrossing, as a professional speaker since 1988 and the author of 23 books, helps us take a look at language and how the left uses it against us to turn the minds of American people toward their political ideology.
