TVO's The Agenda: The New McCarthyism - Videocast

from Akaash Maharaj - Practical Idealism · host Akaash Maharaj

There is no worse cancer in a free society than the thuggish impulse to equate dissent as disloyalty... The greatest patriot is the person with the courage to be the lone voice in the crowd crying out that the Emperor has no clothes. The test of our society's democratic nature is our instinct to value the right of our fellow human beings to disagree with us.
