Why Free Speech in the 60s is Being Banned This Century
Some of us are old enough to remember the “free speech movement” of the 1960s. It featured bully pulpits on the Berkeley, California campus (and many other universities) that championed the right to say what you please. The leaders of the movement proclaimed the “right to free speech.”
That’s a good thing. Freedom of speech is paramount in our Constitution based on the inalienable rights that God gives each human being.
The free speech movement took place during the height of the Vietnam conflict, the hippie culture. and the overall youth free love/sexual revolution. The young dreamers demanded their right to speak out. They said that “freedom” was the issue.

The media war is a huge step backwards. Who is to blame? What is to be done? Here’s my perspective and advice to Donald Trump, the American press, and the people of the United States. Read More
Did Donald Trump Save America?

I’ve also been pondering what might have happened if he didn’t.
Then Dennis Prager produced this column which became a number one read all over the Internet and blogosphere. He put into words what many of us had been thinking.
