Description edit
Our freedom to speak our minds is under attack. Like the Thought Police of George Orwell's 1984, powerful special interest groups on the Left are mounting a withering assault on our rights in the name of "social equality." Liberty has been turned on its ear as the rights of the few restrict... read more

Quotes edit
-
“Look around you. Labels such as "racist," "sexist," and "homophobe" are routinely used to demonize anyone who utters a word the doesn't support the Left's agenda. Television producers allow their scripts to be edited by groups that purport to represent aggrieved minorities. On college campuses, student newspapers that don't toe the party line are collected and destroyed, and speakers with un-PC views are shouted down.”
-
“You see, there is nothing in the theory of feminism or civil rights that requires people to stop thinking their own thoughts. On the contrary, civil rights are reliant on freedom of expression. The spiral down and away from individual liberty can be traced directly to the rejection of the rights of each person in favor of the rights of the many. This group rights mentality is nothing new; it derives from the "progressive" concept that the individual must submit to what is best for everyone else. This concept, however, stems not from the idea of civil rights but from the well of socialism, the foundational model of the Far Left. Once we accept group theory, it becomes not only easier to reject individual rights (such as freedom of expression) but also actually essential that we do so.”

“Is it any wonder that so many Americans hesitate to engage in some of our more important social debates--debates over such issues as school vouchers, affirmative action, drugs, prison reform, and crime--when almost anything you say might be labeled racist?”
-
“When ideologues entrench themselves in the system, they exploit and ruin those on whose backs they rode to power. Just ask the minorities of the former Soviet Union how their socialist dream turned into a nightmare, one in which tens of millions who were different, or who spoke and wrote differently, or who were suspected of thinking differently from the ideologues, went to their death.”
-
“The famous speech Martin Luther King Jr. delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, included the sentence: "I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Today's left wing, through identity politics, affirmative action policies, and hiring quotas, has shattered that dream.”
-
“Forty years later, Friedan told the real story. In 'Life So Far', published in 2000, she recounts, "I would come into New York on my days off from the hospital <and> would go to Communist Front meetings and rallies...I looked up the address of the Communist Party headquarters in New York and...went into their dark and dingy building on 13th Street and announced I wanted to become a member." This was in 1942, a quarter-century before she and a few others founded NOW. Friedan's revelation that, while she may have been a bored and frustrated housewife, she had also been a member of the Communist Party, shed some much-needed light on how left-wing politics has been masquerading as authentic feminism.”
