SPEECH IS VIOLENCE, AND VICE VERSA
POWERLINE ^ | 4/20/2019 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 04/21/2019 6:09:03 PM PDT by bitt

The apotheosis of the Left’s 21st-Century lunacy is its insistence that disagreeing with leftist dogma–declining to accept the “trans” farce, for example–is “violence” that demands suppression, while actual violence by leftists like Antifa–bashing people in the head with a baseball bat, for instance–is merely free speech exercised by “protesters.” No one in the world, with the possible exception of a handful of mis-educated college professors and students, is dumb enough to be fooled by that inversion. But liberals soldier heedlessly on.

Here is a today’s instance of the phenomenon. April Ryan, a CNN personality, suggested that Sarah Sanders’ head should be “lopped off.” Sanders’ father, Mike Huckabee, protested–whereupon Ryan accused Huckabee of inciting violence against her. You can’t make this stuff up:

They have corrupted logic, language, politics, morality and everything else these rabid leftists touch. Leftist have a mental disease immune to healing. This is what they have created and this is what they have received. We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

The creation of hate speech was the beginning of the end of free speech. Redefining it as violence is the end.

Can someone post a link to the story where April Ryan said Sanders head should be “...lopped off.”?

So there is this dilemma. Evil people abuse the innocent. It’s what the do. It defines their evil nature.

If the innocent ignore the abuse the evil feed on it and up the abuse.

If the innocent get outraged and kill the evil they are no longer innocent. Either way the wheel turns the innocent are destroyed and evil grows.

So evil called checkmate.

So God had to create Hell and said “do not repay evil for evil. Justice is mine, and I WILL REPAY.”

God paid the blood price for sin, and then said checkmate back.

Now the dilemma has changed. Will you trust God, or will you go the way of evil?

Here it is:

Click here for You Tube of self-condemning words....

Interesting choice of words. No mention of an indictment for perjury, a trial or anything having to do with due process. Ryan is jury, judge and executioner. Law enforcement going to let this go on?

If anything, I’m starting to wonder if your tagline understates the case.

“If the innocent get outraged and kill the evil they are no longer innocent.“

Utter hogwash.
