Greenwald: Democratic Party the epitome of fascism they claim to fight (Tucker Carlson Tonight transcript)

Fox News ^ | 25 Jan, 2021 | Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald

[MtnClimber]

....Glenn, I want to ask you about this bill from Stephanie Murphy, which strikes me as particularly ominous in the context of the moment we are in that would ban people who fall within some category that she is defining, who have certain beliefs from effectively from serving in government.

Should your personal beliefs be a criterion for employment in the Federal government?

GLENN GREENWALD, JOURNALIST: Well, the through line for everything that just talked about, Tucker, is that the Democratic Party, which now controls the House, the Senate and the White House genuinely believes they have a monopoly on objective truth. They believe they're the party of science and rationality, and that the only way to disagree with them is if you're either a deranged conspiracy theorist or a seditionist, somebody who is engaged in criminal conduct or terrorism.

And therefore, they genuinely believe, it's not a show. It's not a pretext. They all have convinced one another through this echo chamber that they've created, essentially, the entire media except this network, which is why they want to shut it down, that if you disagree with their orthodoxies and their consensus, you are a threat and a danger.

And it's so ironic they spent four years claiming they are fighting fascism and authoritarianism, and what are they trying to do now? They're trying to harness corporate and monopoly power to silence everyone who disagrees with them, the very hallmark, the epitome of the fascism they claim to be fighting, but which in reality they embody

The progressives are so mentally agile that they can leap and twist to find 52 genders and tell you how to live your own life all within the same thought.

[GOP Poet]

Democrats are everything they accuse their enemies of. Just like Marx said, the greatest manipulation is accusing another of what you yourself are doing.

No,not fascism. As bad as the fascists were they were amateurs when compared to the Red Guards. Freepers younger than a certain age might not be familiar with the Red Guards. A bit of research time would enlighten those Freepers.

Greenwald: Democratic Party the epitome of fascism they claim to fight

Not just facists, but the Demonicrat Party is also an organization of lying, murdering traitors.

Let’s not forget that big media businesses are with them, too. Sound familiar? Check out:

And it's so ironic they spent four years claiming they are fighting fascism and authoritarianism, and what are they trying to do now? They're trying to harness corporate and monopoly power to silence everyone who disagrees with them, the very hallmark, the epitome of the fascism they claim to be fighting, but which in reality they embody

They were always the fascists. Even when they claimed to be fighting fascism, they were merely ascribing their own motives on to the sitting administration. Whatever the radical leftists dream of doing if *they* were in power is what they claim their opponents are doing.

We have had plenty of warning of exactly what the left was planning to do once it seized power. The question is, will we be able to stop it?

The salient point:

“Government has every right to tell you what to do. Controlling the behavior of citizens is one of the basic prerogatives of any organized societies when we have it. Government can try to prevent you from committing murder, or rape, or from speeding or jaywalking. That’s all allowed, it’s legitimate.

But no democratic government can ever tell you what to think. Your mind belongs to you. It is yours and yours alone. Once politicians attempt to control what you believe, they are no longer politicians, they are by definition dictators. And if they succeed in controlling what you believe, you are no longer a citizen. You are not a free man, you are a slave.

So yes, Tom Friedman, this is frightening. It’s everywhere, all of a sudden. No one is pushing back. Instead, they have all — almost every one of them join the mob of sensors, hysterics and Jacobin destroyers, all working on behalf of entrenched power to take total control of everything. Overstatement? No, it’s not.”

You are entirely right that the Democrats are WAY over the line calling for 1984’s “RightThink” and proposing law to go after those who don’t share their view. Those who consider citizens who veer conservative and patriotic as “domestic terrorists” are, in fact, the real disease that should be contained lest it spread faster than their fear-tool China virus.

"Dunn lasted barely six months in Obamaland before the press uncovered some remarks she made during a 2009 high school graduation speech where she cited two of her “favorite political philosophers. One was Mother Theresa, which was fair enough. But the other was Mao Zedong. She was out the door less than a month after that. But now she’s back, baby, and she’ll be whispering in Joe Biden’s ear as he makes critical foreign policy decisions, including how he plans to frame the United States’ relationship with China going forward.

While people's beliefs change, I wonder, have her's?

You can never go back.

"When you go carryin' pictures of Chairman Mao,
You won't be makin' it with anyone any how."

But with Biden "The Fool on the Hill" seems more appropriate.
