A unique perspective from unique person
Tammy Bruce, the self-described lesbian feminist activist, argues in her
provocative new book, "The New Thought Police," that our fundamental
freedoms of expression are under withering assault from powerful special
interest groups on the Left.
According to Bruce, the current attempts to silence Dr. Laura are only the
latest in a long line of attacks on people whose opinions do not conform
with the agendas championed by national feminist, racial, and gay
organizations. From rigid speech codes on college campuses to the knee-jerk
use of such labels as "racist," "homophobic," and "hateful" in an attempt to
socially ostracize people with opposing viewpoints, speaking one's mind
today has become increasingly dangerous.
What makes this book's thesis especially powerful is that the author is a
"progressive" who has served in a leadership position at NOW, an
organization she now decries as a foot soldier in the war against free
speech.
"Ironically," writes Bruce, "it is the progressives who, while seemingly
committed to freedom of expression, attempt to exact severe social
punishments on anyone who espouses an idea or opinion that challenges their
status quo. Perhaps it's time for all of us to reread George Orwell's
'1984.'"
