Free Speech in an Age of Jihad Libel Tourism, “Hate Speech,” and Political Freedom The lovely Julia Flyte and I will be driving our convertible to New York City tomorrow under hopefully sunny skies to attend a seminar. Said seminar will be this Thursday ... hosted by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies and The New Criterion. The subject is "Free Speech in an Age of Jihad Libel Tourism, “Hate Speech,” and Political Freedom". Mark Steyn will be the Luncheon Keynote Speaker ... his topic: “The Dimming of Liberty: Legal Jihad and the Criminalization of Resistance.” Perhaps there will be seething on the street. One never knows ... one can but hope. Should prove interesting. I'm sure to have some photos. Perhaps video. Check back!
