Safe Spaces Or Free Speech?

Waaaahhhh!

The concept of free speech is a bedrock of the American notion of God-given, government protected individual liberty, but lately the institutions of higher learning (I write that with tongue firmly in cheek) have found the need to provide space spaces on campus in which our oh-so-tolerant students may find safe haven from speech that may chafe upon their delicate sensibilities.  No, it's true.  Our college age children in America today, finding themselves on the very threshold of adulthood, haven't grasped the idea that we are all free to express ourselves, even if that expression is somehow offensive to some.  But no, they've been indoctrinated to recoil in shock and fear at thoughts or ideas that are not popular with the enlightened, elite class who teach them.  What frightens these weak and insecure coddlings?  Well, many things:  white men, Republicans, Christians, folks with guns, any inventive Halloween costume, conservatives, white people in general, white men with large penises (OK, I made that last one up), and anything else that is outside their very narrow homogeneous comfort zone.  Here's a quote from Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University:  "I’m not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic. Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims".

Suicidal Liberal Mindset

Ay yi yi. This is exactly what we can expect from fifty years of liberal, regressive programming of our kids, from Common Core to the morals-free pop culture.  This is how the left has prepared our youth to face the  certain harsh unfairness inherent in the big bad world.  Sniff.  Don't say or do anything that may offend me.  

Meanwhile, as they and liberals the world over exercise their kumbaya and unicorn world view and ignore the obvious, the clear and present danger right in their front yards, these self absorbed whiners are destined to be snuffed out right quick.  Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch once said, in the context of self defense, "If you look like food, you will be eaten".  

The wolves are coming, just as they always have, and in their 7th century mindset, there's a beggar's banquet here in US just waiting for them. As long as they don't offend them.

Bon Appetite!
