Please feel free to add to them as you see fit: I am thankful for living in the United States of America, for our Military, for the freedom of worship, and my loving heavenly Father.

Ultimately, there can be no freedom in a society without the freedom of speech. This freedom has been under assault for several years now by those who argue that freedom of speech does not include the freedom to “offend.” Much of the ridicule directed at such “political correctness” has been focused on so-called “hate speech” bans, which are frequently found on college campuses and whose intent is to allegedly protect people from speech that “offends.” Enforcing such bans has proved problematic. Who among us hasn’t been offended by someone else’s speech at one time or another? Who among us hasn’t felt our beliefs and values insulted by someone else’s speech? If every one of us who has been “offended” by someone else’s speech demanded such speech be silenced, there would be very little free speech left. The story below describes the latest attempt by some Muslims to stifle our cherished ...
