The Pen and the Scimitar

Colleges discussing free speech zones on campus aren't so much out of bounds as ahead of the curve.

Where once our free speech zone spanned every jurisdiction that a Western nation ruled, now that freedom is under assault and that assault is from within.

The pen is mightier than the sword, it is said. But the scimitar seems to trump the pen these days.

Speaking truth to power as a liberal ideal is just a joke, eh?
