A federal employee decides to write a book on his knowledge of a known government scandal. After signing a book contract with a major publisher, the book deal is subsequently forbidden—by the government. Does this sound like a George Orwell novel? Or an Ayn Rand work...
Obama represents the worst in people: Unaccountability, resentment, envy and unearned entitlement. He speaks to the small-minded and petty in people, and he has the “audacity” to call this “progressive.”
Every day, millions of Americans dispense advice to friends, relatives, and complete strangers through blogs, websites, and a variety of online publications. And each time they do so, many of these Americans could be risking substantial fines and perhaps even...

Even in today's crazy world, there's still some justice to be found in the United States. A convert to Islam who helped promote death threats against the producers of the animated television show "South Park" after it featured a character representing the prophet...
To regulate speech is to regulate thought.
Upholding freedom of speech and rational communication requires a policy of no tolerance for the occupation of property against the will of its owners.
Q. I read with interest your commentary on free speech, published at Capitalism Magazine. I am troubled by the idea of “freedom of ALL speech”. If ideas matter, and they lead to action, then perhaps speech that advocates the violation of fundamental rights...
Don’t resist jihad terror and Islamic supremacism—just surrender, for the sake of the children. That is the message from the Left and its Islamic supremacist allies this week, in the wake of the horrific murders of more than 70 people at a Norwegian...
Enraged over the burning of a Koran in Florida, Muslims have murdered about 20 people in Afghanistan and five in Pakistan—none of whom ever burned a Koran or had any acquaintance with the men who did.These killers are monstrous. They have assassinated...
It was only a matter of time before jihad suicide bombers started operating in Europe. And now they have begun – in yet another salvo in the war against the freedom of speech that the West has barely noticed. “Now the Islamic state has been created. We now...

The prospect of another semi-free country falling to Islam is in danger of happening. In the Philippines a bill that would criminalize the use of words like “Muslim” and “Islamic” to describe criminals has been filed by Sen. Ramon...
“We’re from the government and we’ll have to revoke your blogging license if you keep spreading too much ‘misinformation.’”
“We’re from the government and we’ll have to revoke your blogging license if you keep spreading too much ‘misinformation.’” A few years ago, such a warning would have seemed far-fetched. But recent developments threaten to turn this...
Throughout the debate over South Park, various commentators have been extremely sloppy in their use of the term "censorship." That's a real problem, because censorship is a horrible evil, but it's hard to fight if people don't even know what it is.While in other...
The reporting of news must be left to the voluntary actions of private individuals–any news subsidy inevitably sets the stage for government control of the press.

Would the Seattle Times acquiesce to a “printing press-neutrality” law that dictated how it should run its presses?
Charles Krauthammer makes a trenchant argument in defense of a perennial whipping boy: Everyone knows the First Amendment protects freedom of religion, speech, press and assembly. How many remember that, in addition, the First Amendment protects a fifth freedom -- to...
