freedom of speech

From our perspective, what Justice Gorsuch and the Supreme Court majority have just done is force every employer and religious institution in America to put up with any form of bizarre acting out or manifestation of mental illness. So long as it is cloaked in the newly bestowed protection of gender dysmorphia or homosexuality, churches cannot expect employees to uphold their doctrines and employers now cannot rid themselves of disruptive or off-putting employees for fear of being accused of sexual discrimination.

Democrats demanding the “deplatforming” of those whose opinions they don’t like is the 21st century equivalent of pressuring papermakers to stop selling newsprint to newspapers that criticize the King and it gives voters a deep look into the dark, totalitarian heart of the new “progressive” Democratic Party.

Plenty of Hong Kong residents oppose independence, or at least the pursuit of independence against the PRC’s wishes. But they also believe in allowing people to express their views freely. Going after those deemed disrespectful toward China would be a nightmare.

We have an exclusive look at a new EarToTheGround.us poll conducted through the collaboration of ConservativeHQ.com and other individuals and organizations. The poll found Americans are deeply divided on the meaning of patriotism, the Constitution and how they viewed religion and prominent cultural brands and institutions.

The central message of the poll is “dance with the one who brung ya,” and more specifically, dance with the Trump voters and their agenda.

#NeverTrumpers seem to forget that Clinton’s hostility toward the First Amendment could be put into practice by her appointments not only to the Supreme Court, but also to the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Communications Commission, and the Justice Department. The appointees would follow a heavily partisan course, prosecuting Clinton’s Republican and conservative opponents and making the #NeverTrumpers’ dream of a post-Trump rebuilding of the Republican Party with them in charge unlikely if not impossible.

Those looking to explain Donald Trump’s populist support and the rise of the #AltRight need look no further than the firing of Diane Amoratis and the disinvitation of Lou Holtz to understand the outrage at the double of standard of what constitutes “hate” and the legitimate feeling of ordinary Americans that they are being marginalized in their own country.

Pamela Geller told CNN on Thursday that she believed that Usamaah Abdullah Rahim, whom police said they shot dead on Tuesday after he allegedly confronted them with a large knife, had intended to come after her.

The Univ. of NC at Wilmington will appeal the ruling in favor of a lawsuit that alleged that the university denied professor Mike Adams a promotion for his conservative views and tried to violate his freedom of speech. The courts ordered UNCW to pay him over $1 Million in back pay and legal fees.

The Supreme Court said that city councils and other public boards are free to open their meetings with an explicitly Christian prayer, ruling that judges may not act as "censors of religious speech" simply because the prayers reflect the views of the dominant faith.

Christians in the U.S. military are being told they must forfeit their First Amendment rights. 

Clearly, this administration includes intimidation and thought control as part of President Obama's plan for "transforming America."

As Ted Cruz said, “The reason that so many Americans love "Duck Dynasty" is because it represents the America usually ignored or mocked by liberal elites: a family that loves and cares for each other, believes in God, and speaks openly about their faith.” You can stand with Phil Robertson, Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin by signing our petition demanding A&E reinstate Phil Robertson and end the censoring of his Christian witness. 

Those who are inclined to take a live and let live attitude toward the same-sex marriage debate must understand that Phil Robertson is only the latest victim of a totalitarian movement in which any dissent, including that based upon Biblical teachings, is driven from the public discourse regarding homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Please sign our petition to A&E demanding that Phil Robertson be reinstated to his role in "Duck Dynasty."

A prominent Jewish publication slammed Gov. Christie for approving a bill banning so-called gay conversion therapy on minors, calling it "highly disappointing."
