WHO?

[Newbomb Turk]

Easy to tire quickly of his raised voice rants on the radio.

“Protesting election fraud is not an authoritarian act. Just the opposite.”

The most effective weapon we have had yet was the Tea Party, because they popped up in all the states and home towns and took over the local political power structure. We need to go back to that means to change things. Change has to come from the local level.

“He was a never- Trumper, until he wasn’t - which was early on in the Trump Administration. “

AS USUAL I will dissent from the Freeper Lines. I do not always agree with Schapiro. In fact there are some times where he does kind of get on my nerves. Like when he says that the November election wasnt stolen. I couldnt disagree with him more. But there’s a lot of things that I Do agree with him about. And I find him to be respectful in disagreement as I think we all should be. One of the things that I fear the most is confirmation bias. Where I only pursue and I only listen to those opinions that agree with me in every degree. I listen to Ben Schapiro specifically because he articulates his points soundly and with precision. If I disagree with Schapiro, at least I know why.

And so I would caution us all against succumbing to this confirmation bias. Lets stop the friendly fire. It doesn’t help anyone when we stop listening to each other as well as the communist institutionalized liars.

I listed to him for about two weeks. What gets me is how often he said “Trump was stupid...,” or “Trump acted stupidly...” and then within days, Trump was proven correct every time.

Ben Shapiro is a controlled opposition neocon.

[Jim Noble]

Shapiro doesn’t pull any punches. He asserts that the rioters on January 6, 2021, were authoritarians of the right. That is, they sought to overthrow the constitutional means by which we pass power peacefully from one president and party to the next

Everything you need to know about Ben Shapiro in a few short words.

Neocon archbishop junior

Wrong religion.

" He asserts that the rioters on January 6, 2021, were authoritarians of the right"

The people who stormed the capital were ANTIFA. Just like it was ANTIFA and others protesting and rioting for four years. The Trump supporters showed up to the Capital after ANTIFA drove congress out. Watch the video and check the timelines. Trump supporters do not, did not, and had not acted that way for four years. Only ANTIFA, BLM and other allied groups acted that way.

The fact that the video of the storming of the capital was filmed by a BLM supporter, who was arrested when BLM was blocking traffic and shots were fired at motorists, should be a really obvious clue who the rioters really were.

It's been a year since the election. Shapiro really needs to get over his TDS and get his facts straight.

Ben Shapiro is a left-wing operative. His offices are not in California but in Tennessee.

He asserts that the rioters on January 6, 2021, were authoritarians of the right. That is, they sought to overthrow the constitutional means by which we pass power peacefully from one president and party to the next.

I stopped reading there. Shapiro obviously understands nothing about January 6.

[Jim Noble]

The Right is so anti authoritarian

And that is why they fail.

[Chewbarkah]

“Shapiro doesn’t name names just innuendo.”

Bingo. First step in suppressing a threat is to identify the source clearly. It’s also necessary as a propaganda tactic. Shapiro doesn’t want to be effective.

The US government always selects a poster child to personify its enemies, as if these individuals operate without broad support. Noriega is a drug kingpin! Saddam has WMD! Hitler is the Nazi Party all by his damn self!

Not sure why you aimed those comments at me ...

"America is in an authoritarian moment."

More like an hour. This is by no means a 'transitory' state. The Left now has an iron grip over nearly every institution in society.

"Our country has experienced one before, during the heavy-handed, jack-booted presidency of Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Liberty survived him and if Americans right, left, and center who love liberty band together, be brave, and fight back, it will survive this one, too, but it’s up to us."

While it is true that we have survived heavy handed presidents like Wilson and FDR before, the problem today is that our country has changed substantially in terms of its demographics, culture, and morality. It's no longer the country we once knew. The 'us' he refers is now an increasingly shrinking and isolated segment of a population that, for the most part, could care less about liberty.

Bulshite times 100

Never ever more than tepid support of Trump

He liked that jackass Levin saw he was being creamed by the Trump wave and moved position to preserve his coins

Eff both of them

Talk radio and punditry are not the answer to squat

[wardaddy]

Blah

[wardaddy]

He doesn’t live here....not Oy Vey enuff

He may have his HQ here but he lives in very blue southeast Florida

I stopped reading when he praised Pence.

************

Same here. Just hearing his name is total turn off.

IMO Pence had a moral obligation to speak to the problem of voting integrity, to highlight obvious and widespread disparities. He didn’t even do that.

He’s so typical of people who want the job of leadership but don’t want to lead. He’s useless.
