Excellent article. Liberals seem to want to shut down free speech when they disagree with it.
“We progressives need to stick together and embellish our talking points without someone from the outside pointing out fallacies in our ideology.”
This statement summarizes liberal ideology - from their own lips - better than anything.
If a Conservative doesn’t like guns, he doesn’t buy one. If a Liberal/Progressive doesn’t like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.
If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn’t eat meat. If a Liberal/Progressive is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.
If a Conservative is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a Liberal/Progressive is homosexual, he demands legislated respect.
If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A Liberal/Progressive wonders who is going to take care of him.
If a Conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberal/Progressives demand that those they don’t like be shut down.
If a Conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church. A Liberal/Progressive wants any mention of God and Christianity silenced.
If a Conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. If a Liberal/Progressive decides he needs health care, he demands that the rest of us pay for his.
If a Conservative sees someone become successful and wealthy, he studies how they did it and applies what he learned it to his own efforts. If a Liberal/Progressive sees someone become successful and wealthy, he accuses them of stealing from the poor and wants Government control of all markets.
If a Conservative reads this, he’ll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A Liberal/Progressive will forward it to his Senator and Congressman because he’s “offended” and wants Government control of the Internet.
In all fairness, he just shut down a blog. It seems he may have changed the blog rules to cover himself...not quite shutting down free speech...But I know what you mean...
