Totally brainwashed- Millions of Dems protest peacefully every weekend but all you know is about 30 or 40 young idiot anarchists in Seattle and Berkeley who are violent and you think they're everywhere and represent Dems, functional idiot dupe.. Yes, food will get worse and less healthy in public schools when the GOP sells out to Big Food...and sugar is everywhere again. Your illogical hate of reason is noted.1. On the Right, the Founders, classical Liberals, and conservatives, all of whom pay homage to the Constitution, which prominently promises this:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
On the Left, Progressivism, Modern Liberalism, Socialism, Communism....and Fascism.
None of these adhere to, support or even give a nod to freedom.
All of them demand the bending of the neck and the knee to the collective.
2. Liberal Kirsten Powers wrote the most excellent best seller,
"The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech."
3. The WSJ's Kimberley Strassel has just penned an essay called,
"The Left’s War on Free Speech," part of which includes the most elemental description of politics today, explained through the words of her children.
"....three kids, ages twelve, nine, and five....a volley of protests about free speech rights....I asked each of them in turn to tell me what they thought “free speech” meant.
a. The twelve-year-old went first. A serious and academic child, he gave a textbook definition that included “Congress shall make no law,” an evocation of James Madison, a tutorial on the Bill of Rights, and warnings about “certain exceptions for public safety and libel.” I was happy to know the private-school fees were yielding something.
b. The nine-year-old went next. A rebel convinced that everyone ignores her, she said that she had no idea what “public safety” or “libel” were, but that “it doesn’t matter, because free speech means there should never be any restrictions on anything that anybody says, anytime or anywhere.”
c. ...the five-year-old’s turn. You could tell she’d been thinking hard about her answer. She fixed both her brother and sister with a ferocious stare and said: “Free speech is that you can say what you want—as long as I like it.”
4. I realized that my oldest was a constitutional conservative, my middle child a libertarian, and my youngest a socialist with totalitarian tendencies."
The Left’s War on Free Speech
The more power they got, the more they thought they could force people to do as they wanted. Enough people are dumbed down, thanks to the fringe element's infiltration of our schools, that they have more leverage than ever before.
Protesting was the American way until the protesters were against them.
Free speech was the American way until too many disagreed with them.
Government and all in the establishment were evil until they considered themselves the authorities.
Whistle blowers were heroes until it they were the ones being exposed.
The leftwing politicians and activists seem to believe that their way is the only acceptable way. And they seem to think that violence is an acceptable means to get their way. The 'peaceful hippies' of yesterday are the leaders of violent mobs today.
Michelle Obama is out there saying that if her lunch program goes away, kids will eat nothing but crap. This is so typical of how liberals think. If they aren't in control then no one else is capable of doing anything right. Schools and parents cannot be trusted to act on their own without being instructed by government bureaucrats.
It's the same with virtually every issue. No one other than themselves can possibly run the universe. What a horrible burden it must be for libs to actually think that only they can tell people how to live.
Those less than peaceful demonstrations have happened in Ferguson, Baltimore, Oakland, Seattle, Dallas, Baton Rouge, and many more areas. If you peaceful progressive Democrats don't like rep you're receiving the you should have made citizen arrests so those evil progressive anarchists didn't give ya' all a bad name.
