Hitchens: Seizure of Power Over the Mind--Kirkpatrick Reacts
Channel: Larry the guy from Michigan
Date: 2022-10-14

Within the last year, Peter Hitchens, a British columnist, published an article titled "An Entire Generation are Puzzled by the Idea that Anyone has the Right to say Things they don't Agree With."  Hitchens claims, "Free speech is already dead in Britain. It is just that the chattering classes have not realised it yet." Larry Kirkpatrick reacts to Hitchens' article, and observes there is a violence toward the very idea of freedom embedded in all attacks on free speech.

Is free speech somehow guaranteed in the church as well, or must each generation refight the battle for freedom to continue to believe truth? Cultural encroachments pound down ballistically against the church. Can even the church avoid the acid rain of cancel culture?
