Left-wing Fascist thugs attacked Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, as he attempted to deliver a speech in New York City on Thursday. (Watch the video) He was the invited guest of Columbia University Republicans. The criminals rushed the stage and knocked over tables and chairs, punching and kicking Gilchrist and unfurling banners in English and Arabic. The victim of this violent attack was finally rescued by security and escorted out of auditorium. Neither the police nor security guards made any effort whatsoever to arrest the attackers who assaulted Mr. Gilchrist. This is the latest example in a long list of compelling evidence that the left-wing along with radical Muslims do not believe in free speech unless you agree with them. They feel perfectly free to deny by violence the rights of anyone with an opposing point of view.
This alarming trend is being allowed to happen all over: In Germany, a Mozart opera was canceled for fear of Muslim riots because the opera contains some material which might be offensive to Muslims. An art exhibit in London was scotched for the same reason. Salman Rushdie is forced to hide in fear of his life because he wrote a book critical of Muslim fanatics. Political cartoons were said to be the cause of weeks of riots because they depicted the Muslim founder’s image. The Pope was forced to apologize because he quoted a 14th century author’s opinion that radical Muslims attempted to spread their “faith” at the point of the sword. Everything the Pope said was true.
How long will we continue to endure anti-free speech violence on the part the left-wing Fascists and their counterpart in the radical Muslim community? Do we want to live in a world where only one point of view is allowed?
We must be prepared to enforce freedom of speech. Those who rush the stage during a speech should be arrested and sent to prison. They have no right to assault a person merely because they disagree with what is being said. Muslim radicals who riot because of books or cartoons should be ordered to disperse, and if they fail to do so, they should be shot.
Until we get the resolve to take action to guarantee our freedoms, we most certainly will lose them.
