Free speech has become a conservative
idea (by default) because liberals don’t believe in it any more. Liberals have given up on the idea of coming
up with the best argument and now work tirelessly to silence their opposition
so they can win the argument by default.
Liberals need to do this because their ideas don’t work very well in the
real world; and if their ideas are tested and evaluated logically, they will be
rejected by most people. So, how do they
get around that? John Hawkins of Townhall.com offers this explanation:
1)
Libsplaining:
For every guy out there mansplaining, there are probably 500 liberals libsplaining
what some conservative supposedly ‘really meant’ at exactly the same time. If you’re conservative, pretty much anything
you say will be reinterpreted by liberals to mean something totally different. If you are against welfare … because you think
it encourages people not to work … you must hate black people. If you think we need to cut wasteful
government programs … you despise poor people. If you weren’t in love with Trump, but really
didn’t like Hillary, so you voted for him … you obviously want to turn America into
Nazi Germany and you hate women. None of
this would be more than an annoyance except for the fact that liberals then
take their completely nonsensical interpretation of what conservatives say and
present it to the world as reality. Liberals
seem to be practically incapable of taking common conservative beliefs at face
value because that could lead them to intellectually engage in a debate about the
best way to handle a problem … which could lead them away from liberal doctrine.
2)
Violence:
Why are the liberal fascists in ANTIFA violently protesting? They’re violently protesting that people they
disagree with are allowed to speak at all.
Incidentally, “people they disagree with” runs the gamut from Nazis to
mainstream conservatives. Ultimately,
the liberals who send death and rape threats to conservative women like Dana
Loesch and Michelle Malkin have the same goal as ANTIFA – They want to use the
threat of violence to convince them to quit and to intimidate other women who
agree with them. The limits on it are
determined in large part by what they believe they can escape punishment for
doing. Not every liberal will get
violent, but violent groups like ANTIFA would be nothing without friendly
police departments and college campuses that turn a blind eye to their
activities. When they think they can get
away with it, liberals are perfectly comfortable with using violence to silence
their political opponents. Keep that in
mind when they demand that you give up your guns.
3)
De-Platforming:
If a conservative puts his opinion out there, but no one is allowed to hear it,
does it really matter? Liberals have
worked hard to take over newspapers, Hollywood and the schools … not just to indoctrinate
people with their views … but to make sure conservative views can’t get out. You’re now starting to see that same philosophy
become more public at Twitter, Facebook, Google and YouTube (Owned by Google)
as those social media giants become increasingly unfriendly ground for
conservatives. If liberals can control
whom you’re allowed to hear, they can control your thinking.
4)
Political Correctness / Safe Spaces / Microaggressions: Safe spaces and
microaggressions are the little sisters of political correctness; but they all serve
the same purpose. They’re designed to
silence people who say things liberals don’t like … because – “Shut up, that’s
why!” You saw a great example of this
with James Damore at Google who used an open forum there to make scientifically
supported arguments that liberals didn’t like about women in STEM and then was
fired for it. That’s the perfect world
for liberals. They win by default
without having to defend their arguments at all because the other side isn’t
allowed to say anything except liberal-approved talking points.
5)
Liberal Fakes:
Besides Fox News and a few conservative
newspapers and radio stations, it’s rare to see a genuine conservative presence
in the mainstream media. The vast
majority of people who bring you the “conservative” point of view in the MSM
are weak-kneed moderates at best and liberals at worst. The role of these conservatives, who seldom
have any real support on the Right, is to agree with liberals about how
terrible Republicans are while occasionally making watered-down arguments about
issues that won’t offend the Left too much.
6)
False Labeling:
In America, there are certain groups that the vast majority of us simply
ignore. We don’t pay any attention to
their arguments because nobody much cares what an actual white supremacist,
Nazi, Fascist or racist has to say. So
naturally, if you listen to liberals, other than them, pretty much everyone is
a white supremacist, Nazi, fascist or racist. They go on about it so much that you’d think
we were simultaneously in the pre-Civil War Years, Nazi Germany and Mussolini’s
Italy … all at the same time. Typically,
the evidence for this Nazi renaissance in America is little more than the fact
that there are people who disagree with liberal policies along with comments
that would be shrugged off or ignored if a liberal had said them.
7) The
Ventriloquist Dummy:
Liberals love to find someone you’re not supposed to criticize to stick up
front when there’s a hot political issue. The latest ones are David Hogg and the other
Parkland kids they’re putting on TV as much as possible to push for gun
control. They make their arguments and …
you’re not supposed to respond because other kids who may not have agreed with
them at all, were killed. Meanwhile,
David Hogg and company are paraded on TV and repeat the same boring talking
points every other liberal does. Despite
the fact he was President, liberals even tried to do this with Barack Obama. Conservatives are opposing Obama’s gun control?
Well, what do you expect since it was proposed
by a black man? Obama shouldn’t let ISIS
run wild in Iraq. Of course you’re
saying that since Obama is a black man. Liberals
treat being black like a get-out-of-criticism free card unless the black
American in question is conservative. Then,
the liberal knives come out. Otherwise,
it’s shut up, shut up, shut up.
Thank you, John Hawkins, for freely
speaking your observations. I couldn’t
have said it better!
