Why Europe Needed a First Amendment

Jan 02, 2016 05:52


What we are seeing in Europe is a very good demonstration of why the First Amendment, or something like it, is necessary for the maintenance of a truly free society.  The Europeans are not free to express political beliefs of which their masters disapprove, which is hindering the development of lawful opposition to the policy of importing large numbers of Muslim immigrants.  In consequence, despite the growing unpopularity of the program, the people are unable to organize to vote out those who are executing it, and in politicians who are pledged to oppose it.  This means that effective opposition, when it appears, is very likely to be illegal and take the form either of spontaneous violence, or -- eventually -- coups d'etat.

European democracy will fall -- either because it hardens into a dictatorship to prevent the Right opposition from coming into power, or because such opposition will have to come into power by coup or revolution.  If the current Left establishment is able to remain in power, it is likely to be able to do so in the long run only if it arms and incorporates the Muslim immigrants into its forces:  and if it does that, the day will come when the barbarians it has admitted in by the gate themselves seize power.

That, in fact, strikes me as the only way in which the Muslim invaders are likely to win.

And all this could have been avoided had Europe possessed a true guarantee of freedom of speech.
