How The Left Gets Away With Unlawful Discrimination

In the United States of today, only liberals and the far-left are allowed to discriminate without fear of penalty and do so with a vengeance.

As I have stressed in the past, human nature dictates that we tend to embrace the truth right up until the moment it reflects poorly upon us or our cause. A truth that liberals and the far-left ignore or deny is that over the course of the last four decades, they have put a strangle-hold on the three largest megaphones of our nation by one means and one means only.

Discrimination.

Those three megaphones being the media, academia and entertainment.

For the last 40 years-plus, liberals and the far-left have not only come to dominate the media, academia, and entertainment, but have systematically engaged in an effort to limit or outright eradicate Republican, conservative, libertarian, independent, and even Christian thought.

They have done so by methodically gaining positions of power within those fields and then going out of their way to only hire those who thought like them and more importantly, acted like them.

The irony that many of these liberals made their names or launched their careers fighting discrimination is not lost on them.

They know they are engaged in unlawful discrimination but truly believe that any means now justifies the end they seek.

That end being total capitulation to the "progressive" group-think they espouse.

Totalitarian thought by any other name is still totalitarian thought.

Firing someone for their beliefs has to be a violation of labor law. If not I'm shocked, considering the enormity of nondiscrimination laws on the books.

Kinda goes without saying that the seriousness of the charges only ever goes one way.

In my experience whenever some progressive has “finally” started to care about misdeeds because a conservative or Republican is involved, and I point out past examples of when they haven’t been upset in the least but have circled the wagons instead, said progressives always take it as if a diversion tactic rather than me challenging them that they should be upset at all, the gall and hypocrisy of their offense.

Though sometimes I’m not that subtle and simply congratulate them for finally caring about wrongdoing in high places....

Last I looked neither SJWs nor “snowflake” is a protected class. Those folks should be unemployable.

[Obadiah]

A more important irony in all of this being that in some real ways, ultrawealthy conservatives and Christians bear some of the responsibility for this now unchecked discrimination and liberal groupthink.
For the last four decades plus, when the opportunity came to buy a media outlet, many chose to sit on the sidelines and let wealthy liberals grab yet one more subset of the megaphones of our nation.

This guy is spot on. For all the wealth a lot of individual Conservatives, they sit on their hands and keep their money locked in a vault until they die. And then they hand almost all of it over to some leftist university to get a building named after them. I've seen this happen on any number of occasions and just shake my head in disbelief.

“Those folks should be unemployable.”

I won’t hire anyone even remotely liberal. Deny them financial power.

Now we know we can ask political affiliation. Don’t hire anyone of the liberal persuasion.

We have watched Liberals,Socialists and out right Communists buy out the country for over a hundred years. The foreign influence is also staggering. They own the media,schools,judges,unions,most cities and Deep State DC.

Anyone who claims the current-day USA is governed by “rule of law” is deluded.

[joma89]

I would tend to agree with your statement but more importantly, are we willing to fight to get the basic concept of rule of law back from those who want rule of man?
