George Will should be banned from this site. He is the biggest a$$hole ever.


This bears repeating. Especially the second sentence.

George Will should be banned from this site.

Why this obsession to keep conservatives ignorant of opinions you do not like, and of opinion makers you do not like?

Does it come from a fear that they are better reasoned? Are you afraid that conservative values are too weak to withstand the onslaught of contrary opinions? Do you need redundant reinforcement of your pre-set convictions? Do you not trust fellow conservatives to read, contemplate and come to their own reasoned conservative conclusions without the deadening hand of your censorship? Do you fear that this forum is too ignorant, too shallow, too week, and too stupid to deal with conservative heresy, apostasy or error on the merits without the ad hominem attacks and without the zot vigilantes? What are you afraid of?

If these opinions were in written form instead of in the digital world, would you burn them? Would you burn the opinion makers? Or would you in this modern, enlightened digital age only zot them to outer cyber darkness?

What is the difference in principle, apart from state vs. private action, from the move towards censorship in Europe or the recent failed attempt by the Obama administration to impose censorship through the FCC?

I have been zotted three times so you might discount my views as over-the-top by resorting to the ad hominem(as I have no doubt you will), or you might consider whether this thread has spent most of its energy denigrating George Will rather than dealing with the merits of his argument.
