Traveling down I-95, headed home to Florida from visiting Mary and my parents in Maryland and West Virginia, I found myself yelling in frustration at my radio. Rush Limbaugh asked: Who gives the left power to silence opposition, control speech, and get people fired or ordered into sensitivity training? Rush rattled off numerous examples to prove his point, including a mere 50 leftist student protesters at Rutgers successfully forcing Condoleezza Rice to back down from giving their commencement speech.
Who gives the left such power? I yelled, “We do!”
By the way, while in West Virginia, I attended Mary's dad's 82nd birthday party. Many family members were in attendance. We had a wonderful time of laughter and love. I was the only black person. There was not the slightest vibe of racial tension in the air. I believe that such is the state of race relations among a majority of Americans, except for those who despicably promote racial division for personal and political gain (that is, Democrats).
Back to Rush's question. Who gives the left so much power? Much of the left's power comes from the mainstream media, which is mostly liberal and totally in sync with the Democratic Party's socialist/progressive agenda. The MSM functions as the left's hit men, ready to high-tech lynch any and all challengers.
We cannot do much about that. But we can control our response. While I have written about this on countless occasions, my points bear repeating. Stop allowing the left to set the rules of engagement, and stop helping them beat up on our challengers.
