Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
If "freedom of speech" does not include all speech, then the exception will become the rule by such people as Angela Merkel.
Angela Merkel: For those who claim they can no longer
express their opinion, I say this to them: If you express and pronounced
opinion, you must live with the fact that you will be contradicted.
Expressing an opinion does not come at zero cost. But freedom of
expression has its limits. Those limits begin where hatred is spread.
They begin where the dignity of other people is violated. This house
will and must oppose extreme speech. Otherwise our society will no
longer be the
free society that it was.
