Sharia continues to strangle free speech
PUBLIC POST +++++++++++++++++++ Sharia continues to strangle free speech By Diana West COPENHAGEN, Denmark — I am being patted down by a female Danish security officer in the basement of the parliament building in Copenhagen and I have a thought. I have just triggered the metal detector — my heels, I'm sure — en route upstairs to the Landstingssalen, formerly the parliament's upper house. There, I am scheduled to deliver a speech at the invitation of the Danish Free Press Society, or Trykkefrihedsselskabet.Sotomayor - Anti- Free Speech

BLOG TEEN'S SUPREME IRE
RIPS SONIA AS A FOE OF FREE SPEECH
By JENNIFER FERMINO
BATTLE: Avery Doninger was barred from holding student office over a blog vulgarity, and Sonia Sotomayor backed the girl'sConnecticut school.
A Connecticut teen who used a vulgar epithet on a personal blog to describe her school's administrators never imagined someone like Sonia Sotomayor would stand in the way of her student-government career.
But the Supreme Court nominee did just that last year, when she sided with school brass, which had barred the ambitious student from holding office over the offending blog entry.
Free speech for me, not for thee
Free speech for me, not for thee By Rich Lowry Barack Obama has already brought change. He's ended the "chilling effect." Any restrictions on speech — real or imagined — were once inevitably deemed to have a "chilling effect" on people who would otherwise exercise their First Amendment rights if they weren't so frightened by the possibility of running afoul of the law.Ellen's Commencement Speech
I'm a SUCKER for commencement speeches. CSPAN one year spent one whole Saturday playing commencement speech after speech and I think I watched them all! Anyways, here is Ellen's speech to the Tulane class of 2009, who were freshmen when Katrina hit:Campus Leftists Don't Believe in Free Speech
Campus Leftists Don't Believe in Free Speech By DAVID HOROWITZ I arrived in Austin, Texas, one evening recently to give a speech about academic freedom at the university there. Entering the hall where I was to give my speech, I was greeted -- if that's the word -- by a raucous protest organized by a professor and self-styled Bolshevik, Dana Cloud. Forty protesters hoisted placards high in the air and robotically chanted "Down With Horowitz," "Racist Go Home," and "No More Witch-hunts."Jerry Seinfeld uses free speech defense in cookbook lawsuit
Humor is one of those things that is totally subjective and completely open for debate. A lot of people think that in order for something to be truly funny, it has to be risky or offensive. And while I don’t agree with that, safe humor is never quite as good as the jokes that walk a much finer line.Obama's Cairo Speech
This speech aired a little too early for me to watch.

Barack Obama addressed the nation for the first time as President-elect in front of a crowd of 125,000 people at Grant Park in Chicago at midnight on Tuesday shortly after McCain’s concession speech. “If there is anyone out there who doubts that America is a place where anything is possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Obama declared.

Former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov was giving a speech last weekend in Moscow when things got a little bizarre! Kasparov, a critic of the Kremlin, was speaking at a meeting of opposition activists when suddenly an uninvited guest flew into the room. Was it a bird, or a plane?Control Your Speech
From: Starting Your Day Right daily devotionals by Joyce Meyer A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life. Proverbs 15:4 The Bible says that if a person can control his speech, he can curb his entire nature: "For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature" (James 3:2) No one is completely mature in the Lord, so there is always room for improvement.
