The overt persecution of conservatives and their ideas
continues unabated. Activists in Wisconsin attacking Scott Walker, the
preposterous indictment of Texas governor Rick Perry, the attempts to ban
conservative groups’ advertisements in several states, the IRS harrassment and
many other leftist/progressive actions vividly illustrate their desire to stamp
out the first amendment. There is, clearly, a deep and growing animus among the
left towards the Constitution of the United States of America. In fact, under
the spurious ruse of campaign-finance reform Democrats are now pushing a ‘constitutional
amendment’ that would give the congress the power to censor everything from
books and movies to newspapers and television commercials!
They
propose to create a federal sensor to
suppress criticism of the government, elected officials, and office seekers. Is that chilling enough? Putin shouldn’t
antagonize the U.S. at this juncture. It’s needless. We are becoming Russia. Wait a few more years,
V.P., and we might just join you in
complete intolerance of dissent and a desire to annex less powerful nations.
(Maybe we can divvy up Poland).
Don’t believe it? Rochester Institute of Technology professor
Lawrence Torcello is on record as
saying that we should “jail those who don’t believe in global warming.” Jail those who don’t believe. Should we
jail those who don’t believe in the
tooth fairy as well? Should we jail
those who don’t believe in Christianity? Jail
those who don’t believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman? Jail those who do?
In
fairness, it should be pointed out that this is not the most outlandish
statement of leftist intolerance I’ve come across…even on the subject of global
warming/cooling/climate change/ lack of change/ change in the rate of change/lack
of change in the rate of change. There
is a professor- of “Systematic Musicology” no less- at the University of Graz
in Austria who wrote that climate change “deniers” should be executed.
Global
warming is the biggest “science-based”
fraud since eugenics. And if the Austrian
professor of “Systematic Musicology” has his way, it will share at least one of
its “remedies”.
When
the United States Constitution (that musty but fungible old ‘living document’
in statists eyes) and its Amendments/ Bill of Rights are destroyed, and the
last 47 people on Earth who understand the
concept of Natural Law expire… global freedom expires with them.
Russia,
China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba? The Axis of Evil.
Switzerland,
Sweden, Costa Rica, Ireland, Jordan? Nice countries all, but not going to
foster and protect freedom around the globe.
As
radio host, author and commentator Dennis Prager has so astutely observed, the
future of the world will be decided between three ideologies…secular humanism
or progressive/leftist beliefs, Islam and Shariah, and (founding) “American”
beliefs/values. In a tragic and almost indescribable irony, Americans are
rapidly giving up (or are no longer being taught so don’t even recognize) their own founding values. Leftists do not
tolerate “American” values, but do, incredibly, tolerate Islamic beliefs that
are virtually antithetical to their own ( the stoning of homosexuals, keeping
women veiled and barefoot and pregnant, not allowing them to work or drive,
etc.). And Islamist extremists don’t tolerate “American” or secular beliefs, and in fact will exterminate them whenever
possible.
Unless
something changes, there is only one way this scenario can play out.
Radical Islamists and Intolerant,
hypocritical, politically-correct , brutal statist thugs will always win unless people who believe in
real freedom are willing- always and forever- to be called every nasty name in
the book, to be shouted down and to be
harassed and even jailed or killed.
To
sacrifice their lives, fortune and sacred
honor.
To
begin the world anew. Once more.
