Attempted Censorship Comes to Associated Content

In case you think that censorship can only be found in Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., read the articles below. Conservative thought, actually anything other than supposed "mainstream" thought, is being attacked on a website called Associated Content. Those that know me know that I write for this website. I've had my share of attacks over the years too. Once again, it just angers me that no honest discussion can take place. I sympathize more than the author could ever know.

No Free Speech in France Either

I don't know why I found this particular piece surprising, but I did. I might not agree with Ms. Bardot on much, but I do love the fact that she is fighting for Freedom of Speech. Can you imagine if millions of Europeans did the same? Sometimes I wonder if Europe is too far gone.

There Are No Words

It looks like two of my favorite Canadian bloggers are in real trouble. This is getting insane. How long before it hits here? I'm sick and tired of people repressing political viewpoints that they don't agree with. Anchoress is right. It is now war. If you can, please support Kate and Kathy. I am really flabbergasted that this could happen in Canada. Michelle Malkin has picked up their cause too. I hope some "Free Kate and Kathy" websites start popping up! No offense to my parents, who appear to LOVE Canada, I won't be crossing the border any time soon. I'm sorry, but I really can't get over this! It is enough to make my head explode! This is hitting way too close to home.

A Little More Introspection...

Over the last few days, I've read some great materials regarding politics, the War on Terror (or as it is now being called, The Long War), Jihad, the increasing Muslim threat in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe, racism, and much more. It is deeply disconcerting to me that we in the United States don't pay more attention to what it is really going on in the wider world. We may be at War, but one would never know it. We are supposedly the great bastion of democracy in the world (and have been since World War II), yet now we have a large portion of our population actively working to hinder our efforts to defend our very existence.

Long-time readers will know how I've struggled with the direction of this blog. I don't want it to become overly political. There is a need for more art, literature, and music in the world right now. I enjoy all three immensely, and I enjoy sharing things I love with other readers. At the same time, I can't stand back, observe, and not share what I find concerning the most important political questions of our time.

In my opinion, we are rapidly sacrificing our Freedom of Speech on the alter of extreme Political Correctness. If you think that I'm being paranoid, you need to familiarize yourself with the plight of Lionheart in the United Kingdom. You can read much more about his plight here. RADARSITE does a great job of explaining the situation (read it here). The Midnight Sun takes it a bit further. You can read Aurora's take on things here and here. It simply amazes me that such things could be going on the United Kingdom, Canada, etc., even if only half of what is written is true (especially regarding the United Kingdom).

I think that it is best that people educate themselves on what is going on. It isn't pretty, it won't be easy, but I do have hope. I still hope that the U.S. will wake up and actually fight. If we are to once again be the hope of Europe, not to mention protect ourselves at home, we have to quit worrying about "offending" the enemy.
