MORE PROOF THAT THE LEFT IS SIMPLY ANTI-FREE SPEECH

GATEWAY: LEFTIST MOB SHUTS DOWN HOROWITZ TALK AT EMORY UNIVERSITY!
The Left was out in force at Emory University in Atlanta on Wednesday night.

The "enraged" billboards were planted in White Hall outside the auditorium where David Horowitz was planning on speaking.

But the real rage was inside the auditorium.

It was amazing to watch. The crowd of Leftists, and Muslims and Students were determined not to let David Horowitz speak.

Afterwards, many, many of the students said they were ashamed of the way the mob acted. But, they certainly didn't try to stop it.

... The Left's favorite chant- "Racist, Sexist, Antigay, David Horowitz go away!"

Is David Horowitz antigay? Is that why he asked Tammy Bruce to speak at Pepperdine?

The Leftists and Muslims both joined to harass David Horowitz. Both Leftists and Muslims were standing with their backs to Horowitz until the talk was cancelled.
Until the talk was cancelled.

AND HERE'S SIMILAR NEWS FROM ITALY; VIA LAURA W./ACE:
This Is What It Looks Like

Dear BDS sufferers, Moonbats, and Lefties of all stripes: you know that repression and loss of free speech you've paradoxically been bitching nonstop about for the last few years?

This is what it really looks like. From the Italian left, of course.
The Levi-Prodi law lays out that anyone with a blog or a website has to register it with the ROC, a register of the Communications Authority, produce certificates, pay a tax, even if they provide information without any intention to make money.

------------------------------------------

the Levi-Prodi law obliges anyone who has a website or a blog to get a publishing company and to have a journalist who is on the register of professionals as the responsible director.
Even a teenage catblogger would have to pay a fee and have editorial oversight in order to post pictures of Signor Puffy.
THIS IS SIMILAR TOP THE DEM'S PLANS TO BRING BACK "THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE" IN ORDER TO SNUFF OUT RIGHT-WING TALKRADIO. (More HERE and HERE.)

After the jihadoterrorists, the biggest threat to our liberty is from the Left.

And what makes them worse in many ways is the fact that they are HERE and that they are also assisting the jihadoterrorists by acting as a Fifth Column.

Which is why I have been saying this for YEARS: In order to defeat the jihadist enemy abroad we must first defeat the Leftist enemy at home.

NANNYSTATE IDIOCY FROM THE TORIES

SADLY, TORIE BOSS CAMERON IS PROVING TO BE MORE LIKE CHIRAC THAN SARKOZY OR THATCHER:

THIS IS LONDION (VIA GINA COBB):
Patients who refuse to change their unhealthy lifestyles should not be treated by the NHS, the Conservatives said today.

In a bid to ease spiralling levels of obesity and other health concerns, a Tory panel said certain treatments should be denied to patients who refuse to co-operate with health professionals and live healthier lifestyles.

And those who do manage to improve their general health by losing weight and quitting smoking, for example, would receive "Health Miles" cards.

Points earned could then be used to pay for health-related products such as gym membership and fresh vegetables.

The aim is a shift in the NHS towards preventing disease and ill-health rather than having to treat it.

The proposal was one of a raft of measures suggested in a review of public services, ordered by David Cameron.
DAILY MAIL (UK):
"It is inconsistent with the concept of the responsible citizen to imagine that it is realistic for citizens, having paid their taxes, to expect that the state will underwrite the health implications of any lifestyle decision they choose to make," they say.
When socialized medicine program fails, the "solution" is to impose tighter and tighter arbitrary controls on patients.

How will those controls work? Will everyone who engages in behaviors the medical establishment deems high risk -- from high risk pregnancies to alternative lifestyles -- be denied medical care? Or will only certain unhealthy lifestyles be penalized, while other "politically correct" unhealthy lifestyles receive a free pass?
D' YA THINK THEY'LL INCLUDE HOMOSEXUALITY AS A RISKY LIFESTYLE AND REFUSE TO PAY FOR HIV TREATMENT!?!? NOPE. THAT WOULDN'T BE PC.

THIS EFFORT BY CAMERON IS REALLY JUST ABOUT AN ELITE FOISTING THEIR VALUES ON THE MASSES - "FOR THE COMMON GOOD" OF COURSE.

BY HANDING OVER HEALTHCARE TO THE GOVERNMENT, WE'VE GIVEN THIS ELITE THE POWER TO INFLICT THEIR PC VALUES ON ALL OF US. THIS IS STALINISM.

WHAT MAKES IT WORSE IS THAT SO MANY OF THE NANNYSTATE GOVERNMENTS ALSO CONTROL PENSIONS. THIS CREATES A CONFLICT OF INTEREST ON THE STATE:
THEY SAVE TWICE BY DENYING YOU CARE AND LETTING YOU DIE:
THEY SAVE THE MEDICAL EXPENSE AND THE PENSION PAYOUT.
CAMERON IS NOT A THATCHER CONSERVATIVE - A HAYEKIAN. HE IS A BLAIRITE LEFTIST. THATCHER SHOULD SPEAK OUT. AND THE REAL CONSERVATIVES - LED BY ANCRAM - SHOULD RETAKE THE PARTY. (MORE HERE.)

CAMERON IS BAD. BROWN IS WORSE. HILLARY AND THE DEMS: WORSER STILL.
