To paraphrase the late Joe Sobran, hate speech is any speech liberals hate. Now that leading Web giants and the EU superstate have cemented a pact to target this pernicious threat to civilization, we’ll all have a better understanding of what exactly the egalitarian left considers to be hateful. The question remains, what do we to in order to make our voices heard in the face of an open conspiracy to silence them? The first step is refusing to be cowed into submission. A perfect response, which utilizes Twitter’s platform in order to expose the cowardice and hypocrisy of this campaign, is the I Stand With Hate Speech hashtag.
Aside from leveraging media attention to highlight our perspective, it also rejects the central premise of our ideological opponents. Namely, that we can be shamed into not expressing opinions which dissent from the culturally Marxist weltanschauung.
One of the most powerful tools in the regressive left’s arsenal is its willingness to declare widely held, factually based beliefs off-limits. To delegitimize perfectly acceptable thoughts through a campaign of intellectual intimidation-a campaign aided by the cowardice and lack of will displayed by its opponents. We can’t defeat the left without disarming social progressives of one of their chief weapons, and the only way to do that is by refusing to be shamed...

So what do we do? Go back to direct mail? Does anyone think we can create a Conservative version of Facebook or Twitter?
The techies who do this stuff are narrow geniuses. Their abilities with the internet and rapid enrichment convince them that they are so smart that anything they think of for other people is correct whether it is right or not. That seems to be a one way phenomenon. FR and Drudge are great but don’t provide the social interaction of the Left service and cannot get the advertising necessary to expand such social interaction. Conservatives don’t have the time to blizzard compatible sites as Leftists do. Conservatives have jobs. It is why all the riots and demonstrating are by leftists. They have the time and the manpower- the hordes of non working welfarists who have nothing but time like the college graduates who have no jobs but overblown ideas of their intelligence .
“Stand And Deliver”

"Donald Trump . . . must be praised for being the first national conservative to confront the social justice warriors and their media enablers on their own terms.The specter of a man who simply refuses to be shamed into obeisance, who rejects the cultural shibboleths of the institutional left, has sent the media into a tailspin and forced social progressives to reexamine their entire political strategy. After all, what do you do when the only weapon in your rhetorical arsenal, i.e. condemning your opponents for their non-bien pensant views, is a dud?"
what we need to keep in mind while pursuing all of these paths is the need to internalize a rejection of the left in its entirety. Not simply the principles of the left, but its primary mode of discourse, which includes a refusal to accede to any of its premises-including their demand that you apologize or modify what you believe because it’s “racist,” “sexist,” or “xenophobic."
It’s time we stopped being penitents and started being aggressors.
origination of stand and deliver. It is a hiwayman phrase. In essence it means stop and give me your goods. Like Jack Benny, we too often reply,”I’m thinking...........”
It assumes two choices, your money or your life. But there is another choice.

Sounds like it applies today to car jackers, toll booth collectors (and other bureaucrats like the IRS), and the politicians who introduce, co-sponsor, and vote for bills to increase the tax burden on the citizenry.
