Both the far left and the far right believe they know the truth but can't stand for anyone to post an opposing view.
The only reason to ask those who disagree with you not to post is you are unsure your view can prevail in the open market place of opinions. You believe others are dumber than you and will not see through what you can clearly see through.
It is the ultimate put down of your peers and the expression of a colossal ego.
Sir,
Words mean things. Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally used words to deceive, targeting the open marketplaces of ideas. Code Pink and most Democrats do that now.
Those who are thus deceived lose the will to fight. If I can—by informing the deceived and exposing the deceivers—prevent intelligent but uninformed (there is a huge difference) people from being DIScouraged, then I shall do so.
Friendly fire—ISN’T. For a second opinion, find a Bible and look up Proverbs 23:7. Words can be either blessings or curses. Doubt and cynicism are the result of hearing curses without renouncing and denouncing them. Doubters and cynics don’t fight for their core beliefs for they have none they consider worth fighting for.
It has little to do with my ego. It has everything to do with moral imperatives and encouragement and preservation of our beloved Republic.
