Freedom of speech

A community portal about Freedom of speech with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: is enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is granted formal recognition by the laws of most nations. Nonetheless the degree to which the right is upheld in practice varies greatly from one nation to another. In some nations with relatively authoritarian forms of government, overt government censorship is enforced, while among liberal democracies, censorship has been claimed to occur in a different form and there are different approaches to issues such as hate speech, obscenity and defamation laws.

Intolerant Liberal Brats

Written by

From: girlinshortshorts.blogspot.com

In slogging out this blog over the past two years, there has been a phenomena that some might find strange. Almost all of the homophobic and misogynistic comments have come from those who are politically left of center. Even though I viciously attack George Bush , argue the insanity of our foreign policy, strenuously make the case for same sex marriage , am a PETA supporter and push other issues that are traditionally trigger buttons for conservatives —they continue to come around, make reasoned arguments and rarely hit below the belt. But quite frequently liberals get downright offensive. They got me banned from Digg ... Read Full Story

Appeasing Turkey - but maybe the US might find that this is too big an ego to stroke - as the Turkish are very much geared towards Empire - and this oil game is almost over. It will be difficult to force the people to remain on oil in the future - there are just so many factors working against oil at the moment - which are not likely to let up any time soon - 1) access to information - people can readily access information - that means information is no longer controlled by the few commercial or corporate outlets; 2) The high ...

OTTAWA, Jan 6 (Reuters) - An Islamic group's demand that a Canadian magazine publish its response to an article that said Muslims were set to swamp the West has sparked warnings of government-imposed restrictions on freedom of expression. The Canadian Islamic Congress, one of Canada's largest Muslim groups, says Maclean's , a popular Canadian weekly news magazine, subjected Muslims to hate speech with an article in October 2006 by best-selling author Mark Steyn that said a high Muslim birthrate, combined with Muslims "hot for jihad," could conquer a West that is unwilling to stand up for its civilization. The Islamic group has asked a ... Read Full Story

Happy New Year, It's 1984, everyone! Actually, it's been 1984 for a couple of decades now, but I guess only a handful of us have noticed. For a lot of people, worrying about "Big Brother" means another new episode on CBS, but for those of us who trade in ideas , which can be more offensive than anything some bimbo in a bikini might say or do on T.V. to those in the land of PC, we are acutely aware that we are being listened to, if not watched. We laughed, at first, at the ridiculous social paranoia exhibited in the use of such ... Read Full Story

From: islamizationwatch.blogspot.com

Sometime you win the battle - but lose the war. This may be a battle which was won by Muslims in the UN - but ultimately they will lose the war. These Muslims nations have just verified that the barbaric practices - of stoning, female circumcision, and child marriages are indeed Muslim practices. Any nation wishing to import a Muslim population - will view these things as normal Islamic practise - and likely think twice as to whether they wish to take them in or not. Today it can be seen that arrogance is Islam's greatest weakness. The war against free speech is advancing ... Read Full Story
