- People Know The Consequences: Why Did France Allow The Tabloid To Provoke Muslims?
No more CONDEMNING screed against the demands of Islam exists than Anjem Choudry ‘explaining’ that Muslims just cannot be provoked, and that freedom of speech (which will always ultimately be blasphemy to SOME) is a product of our corruption. From...

Roosevelt Rockwell and the Four Freedoms 1943
Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms series was inspired by Roosevelt's Four Freedoms speech to Congress on January 6, 1941. The Saturday Evening Post first published the paintings in 1943.
Within a year of the speech we would be pulled into World War II
In 1943 the government finally used Rockwell's paintings as posters to sell war bonds. How do you think that would go over today?
The excerpt for Rockwell's inspiration. . .
In the future days which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want, which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear, which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor -- anywhere in the world.
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called "new order" of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.
