True.

But that’s not what is being presented nor is it what a growing majority think/believe.

When are we going to stop preaching to the choir/get out of our bubble?

” subordinate all business activity to the command of the state, and which tolerates no dissent”

Which is happening in every aspect our society. Education, Media: sports, entertainment, news.

For example...I know who signs my paycheck and I know I walk a fine line. My political and religious beliefs posed a problem so I shut my mouth when it interfered with my employment. For the most part. I still can’t really can’t keep my mouth shut but I have tempered it somewhat.

Heh this is what happens in a liberal state when the conservatives have left it, lol. Frankly, I’m gonna keep my job and shut my mouth since I have NO back up.

Here is a small example of what we are up against. A few days ago, some obscure Christian - somewhere - tweeted a complaint that the Starbucks holiday cups didn't have a sufficiently Christian motif. The media picked up on this, and made a big deal out of it.

Yesterday, the Seattle Times (my local newspaper of record) published a cartoon depicting nasty Christians refusing to help poor people because they were holding out the (presumably offensive) Starbuck's cup for handouts. It was one of the worst journalistic cheap-shots I've ever seen.
