Free Speech

Protesting Poor Policy Doesn’t Determine Derangement.

It’s hard to believe that people are being excoriated, left and right, for daring to speak their minds on the topic of Israel. That’s right. Unless a person is gushing with love and respect for the State of Israel, they are labeled antisemitic. That’s the equivalent today of being labeled a racist 20 years ago. It can be the death knell for anyone socially or worse, professionally. Why is it a person may be again the government of a clearly secular state, and be brushed with such a toxic label?

These have to do with personal responsibility and family. It’s no longer your fault that you lost your job, even if you were a terrible employee: the government will make sure you’re provided. Your children are not yours, they belong to the state and if you teach them anything that we don’t approve of We’ll take them from you. Deny Trans women are actual biological women?
