They’re not liberals, they’re Stalinists, and we’re kulaks.
“liberals’ (who aren’t liberal, but leftists) were never for free speech.
they were for advancing the agenda of the left, and they used “free speech” when they were in the minority to encourage their side to protest.
now that they are in charge, the get to promote their agenda unfettered...which is what they always wanted.
this is rather obvious to anyone who is not brain dead....
The best example is of the global warming “debate”. We get a bunch of complete BS claiming the science is settled and a completely phony consensus. Then they call anyone who examines the data realistically a “denier”. The earth’s climate hasn’t warmed in approximately 20 years despite rising CO2 levels. They can’t win a credible debate so they use these types of tactics.
I’ll give Kirsten credit: she’s willing to take on her own side when she feels it’s needed. That’s more than most of them will do.
Sounds like she’s “evolving”. It also sounds like a very well thought out and interesting book, I just might look for it.
While I do not agree with her on many issues, I have always admired her for her classy approach. Ms. Powers does not resort to the name calling and mud slinging that most Democrats do. She does not deningrate her opposition. She lays out her facts and opinions and lets them stand on their own.
BTTT: I am reading this book right now and it is AWESOME!!!
Totally required reading for FReepers!
