Thoughtcrime Laws in Our Future
It is established liberal dogma that no right is unlimited. And ultimately that means none is really a right, because those who make law get to decide what a reasonable limit is to the right. Or a judge appointed and approved of by them gets to decide. And neither of them are going to make law and declare the law they made unreasonable, so whatever they decide to do will be defined by them as reasonable, and therefore legal.

So there is no real Constitutional barrier even to thoughtcrime laws: Legislative bodies can outlaw thoughtcrime just the same as they outlaw so-called assault weapons, and liberal judges will back them up. All it will take is enough people being talked into supporting thoughtcrime laws, and given what's happening these days I don't think that'll be all that difficult.

Imagine the kind of thoughtcrime enforcement imposed on communities like Facebook and in schools by way of PC codes being enforced by real police and prosecuted in real courts. The way things are going this really could be in our future. Or more likely our children's future.
