"[FONT=&quot]Only days into the new school year, and already anti-Israel activists are making a splash on college campuses from one corner of the country to the other. Two reports today confirm that activists with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, commonly referred to as the BDS Movement, are maintaining their efforts to silence any voices that may express pro-Israel positions on campuses."

And,
"Former University of Missouri professor Melissa Click has landed a new job nearly 1,600 miles away in Spokane, Wash, according to Gonzaga University's website.

Click is listed on the faculty page of the university's website as a lecturer.

Click was fired from her position as an assistant professor of communications in February, and her appeal of the decision was denied in March. She achieved national attention after video footage of her assaulting a student journalist went viral."

An assistant professor in communications who isn't familiar with the First Amendment. And people wonder why liberals like Sen. Reid, Sen. Clinton, and Mr. Trump want to attack free speech. Universities which brag about being a place for debate and discussion are virulently opposed to free speech.

Please cite several instances where Trump is attacking free speech.

Oh, you want several. I don't know why Trumpkins will believe anything a liar, a huckster, a deadbeat, and a liberal tells them but won't believe things that make perfectly good sense. I'll give you one. Perhaps you can find one that supports any one of the five parts of the First Amendment.

"Donald Trump said Friday that if elected president he will change the nation's libel laws in order to make it easier to sue news organizations. "One of the things I'm going to do if I win... I'm going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money," Trump said during a rally in Fort Worth, Texas."
Donald Trump wants to 'open up' libel laws so he can sue press - Feb. 26, 2016

Ah, yes, win lots of money. That is all that drives Donald Trump, isn't it. And, Donald Trump seems to have Barack Obama as his mentor on being a president. They are both liberals but Donald Trump isn't going to ask Congress to pass a law. Oh, lordy, no, tyrants don't do that. Kings don't do that. Rulers don't do that. They just make new laws.

And then:
"Sign up to volunteer for Donald Trump’s campaign, and you might be giving up more than you bargained for.

Earlier this week, reporters began poring over the 2,271-word nondisclosure agreement that Trump’s campaign requires its volunteers sign. The forms are extraordinarily broad, virtually prohibiting any volunteers from criticizing Trump or his family for the rest of their lifetimes, according to Rachel Sklar, a lawyer and CNN contributor."
Donald Trump volunteers are signing a lifelong contract never to criticize him - Vox

Wow, a 2,271 word document just to keep volunteers from criticizing him...ever. That's a man who truly values free speech. I wonder what he's afraid of. He not sounds a lot like Barack Obama but a lot like his good friend, Sen. Hillary Clinton.

If it's any consolation to the Trumpkins, I've only got one each for Sen. Reid and Sen. Clinton arguing against the First Amendment.

I suppose some folks might call those examples lame, but I won't. Have a nice day.
