In Oxford, Mississippi, of all places, with its famous square and the home of William Faulkner, Jefferson’s notion of an “empire of liberty” came crashing down, as officials at Ole Miss continued their extensive offensive on tradition and history . Making matters much worse, a student at Ole Miss, Dylan Wood, was arrested at last week’s game for possessing a stick-less state flag. Under the guise of the flag being too large (it turns out by a scant three inches) and violating stadium policies, police officers, using foul language and threatening manners, attempted to confiscate Wood’s flag.
According to Mississippiconservativedaily:
There is a war on-going at Ole Miss, a war on Southern traditions, a war on freedom of speech, and now a war on the Fourth Amendment. To be truthful, what has transpired at the University of Mississippi in Oxford is a violation of the American spirit, the idea that people are born free and equal, that we are bestowed with God-given rights of life and liberty.
The rights of the people, protected by the Constitution, are not subject to the feelings of others, nor are they subject to the whims of university administrators or their political benefactors. This is what fascism is; it’s interesting people on the left are fine with this, but when people on the right wish to protect their national sovereignty as Donald Trump speaks, the leftists call him a fascist. Can you have it both ways? With progressive liberals, it seemed so. What do you think?
