Operatives on the communist Left are desperate to silence the voices of those of us who tell the truth about their evil agenda. What is their evil agenda? Whether you want to call it socialism, communism or plain old tyranny, it amounts to the same thing: they want to gather all power into the hands of federal government masters. They are just about completely there at this time.
Communism means that the government owns and controls the means of production and tightly regulates the lives of the citizens. Communism does not tolerate freedom of speech, nor does it recognize individual rights, such as the right to private property. Individual rights must give way to the collective rights of the state, which means whatever the government leaders think is best for maintaining their power.
We are seeing the growth of communism in America as we have never seen in our more than 230-year history. Private property rights are being steadily eroded through devious means that include the United Nations Agenda 21 scheme and the Environmental Protection Agency. States’ rights are being aggressively trampled by the monstrous federal government. Freedom of speech and religion are in the vicious crosshairs of the communist Democrats.
Why is freedom of speech such a great target of the communist Left? It is because those of us who understand the goals of the Left, and are willing to speak out, represent a serious threat to the Left’s power structure. When we publicly tell the truth about their evil plans for our nation, more and more people wake up and see the communist Left for what it is. People who have been lulled to sleep by the lies of the propaganda mouths in the media often wake up when they hear the truth. The so-called mainstream media is packed with, and run by, members of the communist Left. These people are in full agreement with the agenda to subjugate the United States Constitution and the rights of the people and the states to the illegitimate authority of the federal government.
This is why we see such blatant lies coming out of the media. This is why we see the media providing the most outrageous, duplicitous cover for the liar Communist-in-Chief, Barack Obama (or whatever his name is). And, this is why the Left cannot abide those of us who expose the truth about the Left’s lies and its hidden motives.
We recently saw the Left go into a maniacal feeding frenzy when Rush Limbaugh used some strong terms to describe a Democrat operative activist who went before a mock Democrat hearing to present a bogus argument as to why Americans should pay for the contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs for any girl or woman who wants them. Never mind the freedom of conscience and religion of those who oppose funding such things.
The Left latched on to Rush’s words and launched a vicious assault against his advertisers, station owners, operators and corporate broadcasters. Some advertisers caved to the phony outrage and pulled their advertising, and a few stations squeamishly dropped his program.
Why is the Left so rabidly determined to silence Rush and others like him? It is because Rush and many others shed the light of truth on the Left’s anti-American, anti-freedom, anti-Constitution agenda. The Left has nothing but lies to offer, since they cannot tell the truth about their wicked schemes. So, when Rush and others do tell the truth about the Left, it serves to undermine the Left’s power. An informed electorate is a dangerous electorate to the Left, because the plans of the Left would not be accepted by the vast majority of Americans if they knew the ugly truth.
Therefore, freedom of speech is a grand enemy of the Left, and just like in any totalitarian regime throughout history and to this present day, the controlling powers work endlessly to suppress freedom of speech and expression, which go hand-in-hand with freedom of religion, since it is often people of faith who stand against the tyrannical schemes of the communist Left.
And, so it now hits home with me.
It was a stunning, but not surprising, week. Last Friday, I got word that my radio company, Clear Channel, had decided to cancel the airing of my radio blogs. My radio blogs, which I wrote and recorded, were a twice-weekly broadcast which aired very early on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, around 6:45—well outside of “prime time.” The broadcasts averaged around 10 to 12 minutes, maximum. They had been airing here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, with a signal that reaches into Alabama and Louisiana, for two years now. During that time, I have heard from many listeners who have had nothing but praise for the broadcasts. I write from a fiery, conservative Christian perspective, and I do not mince words.
Back on March 3rd, in addition to AmericanClarion.com and ScottFactor.com, a third site, RenewAmerica.com, began carrying my radio blog columns. Renew America has a large readership, and I found out that radical leftist outlets like the Daily Kos pay close attention to that American patriot website. Shortly after Renew America began carrying my columns, I was the subject of a senseless hit piece by the Daily Kos, because of my support for Rush Limbaugh in the wake of the phony outrage campaign against his advertisers.
Commenters on that logic and truth-challenged column called for readers to “flood” my email inbox at Clear Channel. I got a few “hate” emails, which I knew were not from listeners in our area. What I am certain of, but cannot prove, is that these commie Democrat operatives also contacted corporate. It was only after this Daily Kos hit piece that the corporate guys suddenly “discovered” my radio blogs and immediately demanded they cease airing—the faithful listeners who love them be damned!
The bottom line is that I am a small voice out there. In the big picture, compared to the talk radio giants, not many people have heard my broadcasts or read my columns, so it is easy to squash a little conservative bug like me. And, of course, Clear Channel has every right to determine what content they will have on their stations. That is without question.
What is most disturbing about this is the fact that the Left has such a powerful ability to bully corporate-level people. The people who run corporations and the broadcast industry are obviously much more afraid of the vitriolic, Democrat operatives than they are of freedom-loving Americans, even though there are so many more of us than there are of them. It may be due in part to the corporate people being fooled into believing that these highly organized, well-funded leftist campaigns actually consist of honest, concerned listeners submitting their feedback, but that is not the case.
Corporate broadcasters and advertisers are being intimidated and hoodwinked by what amounts to paid actors and their recruited buddies posing as irate listeners. These leftists have bragged that they are doing this. Media Matters for America, a far-left, George Soros-funded group has openly admitted to being engaged in a militant campaign to silence talkers like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
It is really too bad that advertisers and broadcasters are so easily intimidated by the brutish, anti-American, anti-freedom tactics of the radical Left. Besides being fooled by these charlatan activists, they are also intimidated and fearful of thuggish protesters targeting their companies with on-location demonstrations. This is not the American way. This is the communist way. And, until the people who run corporations and the broadcast industry grow a spine and stand up to the tiny, but loud-mouthed, organized, radical leftist minority in this nation, we will continue to see voices for conservatism being silenced in a twisted, self-imposed version of the “Fairness Doctrine.”
along with exposure
Take some writing lessons.
Thanks very much for posting. The National Socialists, neo-fascists and international totalitarians are definitely on the march.
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
Your small example and this glaring example is just more evidence of SOME of the damage they have done...
“Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task.” - Frederic Bastiat 1801-1850
Freedom of Speech is an expression of Freedom of Thought they find abhorrent....which is why they strive to control the media and education.
maggots can't survive daylight.
(Freedom of Speech is Left’s Great Enemy)
TRUTH is Left’s Great Enemy
(There, fixed it!)
What are you talking about?
That is the point of the column, and that point is made in the column. Without freedom of speech, the truth isn't publicly proclaimed, thus the Left targets freedom of speech, since they can't change the truth.
Seems to me that everyone has been using freedom of speech. Some are using it to spread lies, which dilute the truth.
Hate seems so much easier to spread. And some thought that by electing the “first black president” we would be rid of this lie called inequality.
In fact the power of the presidency has been used to foment hatred, not ease it.
A1 is good when practiced by them, but not tolerated when practiced by others.
A2 is excellent for them, but not for anyone else.
A3---->A26 ok by them, but not for others.
Bottom line, they live in a dream world, where they get to decide what is best for everyone.
The problem being, they wish to make that dream a reality.
You’re so right! Free speech does not equal truth in speech, to be sure.
We notice that it is only the speech that tells the truth that is censored, not the speech that tells lies and spreads hatred of the truth.
Thanks for your input.
The above sentence uses 22 words to convey a simple truth: "The Left bullies corporations." The sentiments are worthy, but good writing requires editing.
Oh, well, we can never revise enough. Throughout college English, creative writing, literature—every English class I could get my hands on—I was taught to revise, revise, revise, and I do, for the most part.
I understand the best way to write is with economy of words and with preciseness. Up until last week, my writing was geared to be spoken as a broadcast, which is normally less formal than the written word.
As for the “Left bullies corporations,” that is not the full point of my statement. I really do mean that THAT is “most disturbing,” because corporate people tend to be such pushovers for real or perceived “trends” or “backlash.”
And, to just say, “Left bullies corporations,” still does not convey my point that they have a “powerful ability” in this, because of their well-funded organization and evil determination. Just because someone bullies, does not necessarily mean they are effective or powerful.
And, then there’s the fact that we can always over-think these things, you know...
