The Left Isn’t Stopping at Merely Censoring the Right’s Free Speech
Town Hall ^ | 28 Jan, 2019 | Rachel Alexander

No one is talking about the most disturbing aspect of the confrontational incident involving the Covington Catholic school boys. Those boys were not speaking. No one was trying to silence their voices or shout them down. They were merely standing there wearing MAGA hats. Not content with just silencing conservatives, the left is now actively trying to chase conservatives out of the public sphere and society at large. The Native American man, Nathan Phillips, who confronted the boys with his drum was trying to chase them away from the Lincoln Memorial. The person who edited the video to make it appear that the boys were the ones accosting Phillips wanted to justify what Phillips was doing. The media went along with it and condemned the boys.

This type of totalitarian censorship has been creeping into society more and more during the Trump administration. It is totalitarian because the First Amendment protects both the freedom of speech and the freedom of assembly. Someone merely shows up in a public place wearing a MAGA hat and they risk being attacked. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders showed up to eat dinner with her family at a restaurant and the owners kicked her out. Perhaps most frightening of all, Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s family didn’t even leave their home and they had masked protesters yelling outside and banging on their door, chanting, “We know where you sleep at night.” ….

This is a logical extension of the left’s tactics of resorting to silencing their ideological opponents because they can’t beat them in substantive debates. This is how Antifa arose. Those young, angry Millennials don’t have the brainpower to defeat conservative arguments, so they resort to violence.

In their mostly paranoid, and over imagined persecuted minds, minds they justify the terrible things they do to others as somwhow evening the score?
Lying..cheating ..stealing..mocking authority..destroying traditions..violence.
It’s sort of like they are still trying to work out their personal issues from elementary and High School?
Like the popular kid (in their minds rich and privileged)
The bully (community organizer?) ..the nerd..the smelly kid (Hillary?)..the class clown..the moron..
While most of us have gotten past it.
The phrase, “ get over yourself” comes to mind.

This truth must really be grasped if we are to be prepared. Communists kill people.That is their end-game. Pray and build yourselves up in the faith accordingly.

Agreed!

And even though they pretend to be peaceful, they are not.

(HAT TIP ROOSTER REDUX) The left has moved seamlessly from "concentration camp" to "death camp" thinking.
In WW11 concentration camps Nazi atrocities so gruesome were committed, they are still not spoken of.

Now we hear Lefties speaking freely about their most morbid fantasies:
feeding teenage boys headfirst into wood-chippers, locking them in their school and burning it down......... and so on.

This from "tolerant and compassionate" types fawning over a drunken liar, beating a drum,
trying to get a rise out of innocent teen age boys. HIS GOAL: lucrative "victimhood."

And DEATH!
BLACK PILLED DOES IT AGAIN!
Watch the first 60 seconds & you’ll stay for the delivery! The left and feminists have written the obituary for western culture. Co-authors? The millions who remain silent as those dead American babies are replaced by the alien cultures now assaulting our gates. PLEASE SHARE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6_ozsZrbdQ
