"When Free Speech Isn't

James M. Kushiner, editor at Touchstone Magazine, discusses the pattern by 
which free speech is eroded in this example case:

    News from Canada posted at LifeSite about the final outcome in a case 
where someone was punished for criticizing homosexual behavior: the Supreme 
Court refused to hear his appeal. It seems to be the official, 
government-sanctioned position that there is absolutely nothing wrong with 
sodomy and it is a crime to say otherwise.

    It's hard to believe that this can happen in the U. S., but the path 
from toleration seems to lead to acceptance and then to endorsement and to 
the intolerance of opposing views. The "acceptance" stage may be growing 
even in "Christian" circles (e.g. Episcopal Church, NCC, and mainline--some 
megachurches will follow, eventually) and the more it does, the less 
successful will be the claim (to secular courts, I mean)  that the general 
"Christian view" is in opposition to sodomy. Those who lag behind on the 
road of sodom-nation-building will be forced to catch up or face sanctions."

It definately seems as though our churches have been overcome with 
secularism much in the way the Soviets infiltrated the churches during their 
takeover."

Or like when Doug Wilson doesn't like what someone has to say regarding his 
fitness as a religious leader?

His new saying:

"You have the perfect right to say what I want you to say and nothing else.  
If you deviate from that I WILL GET YOU! (and your little dog too!)"
