Dear sports, this was originally posted on the great Copious Dissent a week ago. This post is slightly modified.

“Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil”. -Thomas Mann

One of the greatest blessings of living in America is our First Amendment, which protects the right of all of us to speak out without facing government persecution. People in other countries, even strong Western democracies, are not as fortunate.

The French government, for instance, is prosecuting 73-year-old former film goddess Bridget Bardot for criticizing the ritual [Islamic] slaughter of sheep in a 2004 letter to Nicholas Sarkozy, now France’s president. -From Projo

Man, in Australia regards the true freedom of the US Constitutional and Amendment kinds, they were never really around in the first place. Because baby, a few of the fundamental rights we had, have been able to be modified down, and virtually without a squeak. “Waiter! I’ll have some more cheese!”

So dear sports, it is a funny thing to have over an eighteen month period, an epiphany about your own country, mine being the very, very far away land of Oz. To realise that there is apart from a few scattered columnists, blogs and the rare and isolated radio program, entirely no public forum, voice or constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech or expression of the kind found in America.

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
