Free Speech has been under assault by both Liberals and Conservatives in recent decades, but mostly by Liberals in the past twenty years via Political Correctness and Cancel Culture. There was a time when Liberals actively supported freedom of expression because they understood it was THE primary freedom from which all other freedoms flowed. The early figures from my own country’s history protected speech with the FIRST Amendment to the Constitution because they knew all too well that ideas that are considered taboo and offensive today might be considered essential truths by future generations.
The forever-hypocritical 1960s generation of American Liberals were all about Free Speech when THEIR ideas were the ones offending people. Once they considered themselves to be comfortably in the cultural, educational and political driver’s seat by the early 1990s they decided they wanted their own already outdated worldview enshrined in stone and presented as THE one true set of values.
They became the Political Correctness Police and anyone who offended their 1960s attitudes had to be silenced because – as they knew so well from their own experience – when controversial ideas are given the room to breathe they can often thrive. The totalitarian asses of the 1960s left can’t bear the fact that younger people might have opinions that offend THEM as much as their opinions offended their parents’ generation.
And it’s not just in America. All around the world similar assaults on Freedom of Expression are being made by white, one percenter fascists like Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg and their ilk. When hypersensitive fools around the world want material banned as “offensive” to their closed minds, too many people still cave to their shrill demands. Considering that the more easily offended someone is the less intelligent they tend to be I find it amazing that Politically Correct censorship has thrived the way it has.
Keep in mind Spinoza’s wonderful line “Every man should think what he likes and say what he thinks.” That still rings true because no matter what the hypersensitive fools who want to censor the rest of us find offensive NONE of them has the right to try to extinguish one single product of the human mind.

Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog takes another look at the ongoing disaster that is the Biden Regime and its enablers. 
The courageous defiance toward senile yet corrupt Joe Biden and his regime continues as “Let’s go Brandon” showed up at the recent World Series game and 
Even the Democrat media outlet the New York Times is forced to admit 
Joe Biden continues to demonstrate that he is easily the creepiest, most deranged figure to stay in the White House. His unhinged behavior at last week’s softball make-believe “Town Hall” was a source of ridicule around the world.

“LOOK AT ME”, Jill Biden was forced to say into the blank, uncomprehending face of her husband, the head of the Biden Regime. Jill was – like so many times before – trying to get the attention of her corrupt, inept and increasingly demented spouse Joe Biden and get him to stop making a public spectacle of himself. (Too late!)
The recent Rasmussen Poll found that 56% believe the 2020 presidential election was tainted by cheating. (link below) Here at Independent Voter site Balladeer’s Blog I’ve never made any secret of the fact that the cheating and tampering seems to me to be as obvious – maybe even MORE obvious – than the cheating in the forever-tainted 1876 and year 2000 elections. 
Here at Independent Voter Site Balladeer’s Blog I make no bones about the fact that I’d be happy to see America’s rival gangs of white-collar criminals – the Democrat and Republican Parties – splinter into multiple smaller parties. I don’t support either political party so my opinions are not based on helping either of them. I repeat that every so often for the benefit of new readers.
