Barbarians at the Gate

Ken Masugi has penned a nice piece titled "Speaking Up for Barbarism."   He takes on those who, in the aftermath last Saturday's massacre in Arizona, would have us effectively muzzle ourselves for fear that our words might encite some to violence.

A society of self-imposed silence should not be confused with a peaceful or civil society.  In fact, to the contrary, such a society has already begun its descent into the very barbarism it seeks to avoid.
