5 thoughts on “Berkeley”

1. At Berkeley, free speech was never its philosophy. Like everything the left does, that was just a lie (like… don’t question my patriotism!) What it was, was cover so they could have Nazis and Communists speak freely. The only appropriate response to a lefty is to call BS even if you’re not sure because you’ll still be right… unexpectedly!

   1. Ken is almost correct. For about 15 months, from the last months of 1964 to the first months of 1966, there really was a movement focused on free speech in the Bay Area. By mid-1966, however, the “New Left” had taken it over and utterly changed its focus. The Red Diaper babies were quite well-coached in how to grab control, and did so.

      1. If you want to change the present order, first on the agenda is to open up the cultural controls that hold that order in place, which means championing absolute free speech. Once you’re in the driver’s seat, that consideration becomes not only secondary but a limit on further progress.

2. It’s funny, I thought the free speech movement was born in Philadelphia around 1775 or so. Huh.

   1. As he points out, it’s been around at least since ancient Athens.
