How can Coltface pick on anyone for talking mean?
I try to remember that some of our members require spoon-feeding of ideas, so forgive me for simply posting the Ann Coulter column.
Here is the breakdown so that you can understand, as " talking mean" actually has nothing
to do with the OP.
1. Ms. Coulter was invited to speak to students at the University.
2. Left wing 'scholars' looked into their well-worn compendium on civil discourse, and 'market place of ideas' strategies, and shouted and rioted so that Ms. Coulter could not deliver here talk.
3. No one was force to join the assembly who wished to hear ideas with which they might or might not agree.
Still with me?
4. Canada represents ersatz-EU, in that free speech means only if the left agrees with your speech content.
5. Those of us who honor the first amendment of the US Constitution, see it as a higher level of social evolution than censorship, would champion Ms. Coulter's right to speak, and critique Canadian culture in this regard.
5a. Consider the this quote, attributed to Voltaire: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Have someone explain it to you.
Since when does our First Amendment apply to Canada? When in Rome...
