For example,
putting Galileo to death because
he didn’t agree with the “accepted” consensus
that the Sun revolved around the Earth

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_galilei

Galileo died of natural causes, you dim wit

Galileo continued to receive visitors until 1642,
when, after suffering fever and heart palpitations,
he died on 8 January 1642, aged 77

Sorta reminds me of people who would dared to claim they could sail around the world without falling off the edge and were scorned and ridiculed and threatened with jail or even worse like death pre 1400’s

It seems to me that if someone threatens you with death for your opinion, are they not risking the same fate? At the very least I think a person can do time for a death threat. The closer the threat gets, the closer you get to a right to self defense.

The left engages in all these outrageous behaviors and the thing that concerns me is average Americans don’t assemble in anger against these miscreants.

Same goes for “apologizing” because someone insulted Mohammed. As an American citizen my God given right is to say whatever I damn please. Don’t go apologizing for Free Speech. And damn well don’t start talking about executing me for it!

It wouldn’t be the first time a society killed off someone for his or her intellectual views. The Greeks killed Socrates because of his beliefs.

If we solve the problem, assuming there is one, we won’t get any more funding to study it.

Factual thought crime is always punished by death or isolation. What’s new or known?

This Man Made Global Warming non-science does create irrational paranoia in the zero info-bots staring like zombies into their smart phones. Such paranoia can create mob behavior which will call for the deaths of those who have been demonized by Alinsky tactics. I can just see the words flashing on their smart phones, “Exterminate the inferior specis! Death to the Global Warming Deniers!”

Galileo was sentenced to house arrest because he lied to the bishops when he said he would delay publishing his paper on how the earth’s rotation caused tides, but then published it anyway.

Liberals want to take us back to the middle ages...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Inquisition

From the link:

Various motives have been proposed for the monarchs’ decision to found the Inquisition such as increasing political authority, weakening opposition, suppressing conversos, profiting from confiscation of the property of convicted heretics, reducing social tensions, and protecting the kingdom from the danger of a fifth column.

In the 1960s, Allan Sherman had a great deal of fun with this viewpoint, in a song called "Good Advice":

"Christopher Columbus was a seaman second class
"When I told him that the Indies could be found,
"By sailing to the West instead of sailing to the East.
"I advised him that I thought the world was round (I really thought so).
"Then I sent him down to ask good Queen Isabella
"To pawn her jewels for all they were worth.
"Next month, he set sail, and as everyone knows
"He fell off the edge of the earth."

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing, but having a hard time articulating it into words. Why aren’t we countering these bastards with the same level of threats if they attempt to silence or jail us or worse. They need to know that they will be met with force if they try any of their BS.
