“Freedom is the freedom to say two and two make four.  If that is granted, all else follows.”  Winston Smith, in George Orwell’s 1984.

Winston might have overstated the power in being able to speak the truth, but there is no question that it is easier to enslave people when the truth can be suppressed.

There are many ways the truth can be suppressed though and not all of them are by government.  Massive propaganda machines burying truth under a heavy blanket of big lies can suppress truth even when it is legal to speak the truth.  The effectiveness of this tried and true method is being demonstrated all around us every day, though not in all sectors; those who are not stupid see through the blanket.  But there are masses of fools who can not.

Liberal Violence and Hypocrisy Sixty million times since the passage of Roe v Wade a mother has killed the child she carried. So many mothers betraying their own baby reminds us of the bloody knife liberals hold hidden behind their back. The liberal cult uses the poor and downtrodden now as a weapon of political war and pretends to care about them and want to help them because it would be immoral not to do so, even while claiming that morality must not be the basis of law.

Or take what little is produced and live like kings while those they claim to be champions of live in poverty and in chains, as leaders of communist parties and other dictators have done. This kind of betrayal has taken place in the...

HOW TO DEFEAT ISLAMIC JIHAD Here are a few things that should be done to defend America from jihad, just a few things that would make a huge difference, between destroying this enemy and going on with our lives, or living with never-ending war, as we are doing now: Define the enemy. Give our generals a clear mission, give them what they need to carry out that mission, and then stay out of the way and let them do their job. The same goes for intelligence. Stop sending our soldiers off to war with their hands tied. Get rid of the insane ROE the traitor Obama imposes on them. Clearly establish that combatants who do not wear uniforms (because they want to blend in with civilians) have no rights when they are captured. This used to be a fundamental law of war and should be implemented now in the Islamic wars, because now as before, combatants who hide behind civilians get civilians killed. Legitimate combatants wear a uniform or have some kind of identifying mark that’s easily vis...

Those who try to destroy the 2nd Amendment will ultimately do the same to the 1st: there is much truth in the saying that the pen is mightier than the sword, and that truth is not lost on those who seek to disarm us.  In fact this battle is already well underway.
