Good article that's spot on with the left's bullying and scare tactics.
https://www.city-journal.org/html/cr...uth-15668.html

Quote:
"Nothing scandalizes a leftist like the truth. Point out that women and men are different, that black Americans commit a disproportionate amount of violent crime, that most terrorist acts are committed by Muslims, and the Left leaps to its collective feet in openmouthed shock, like Margaret Dumont after a Groucho Marx wisecrack. This is racism! This is sexism! This is some sort of phobia! I’m shocked, shocked to find facts being spoken in polite company!
No one is really shocked, of course. This is simply a form of bullying. The Left has co-opted our good manners and our good will in order to silence our opposition to their bad policies. The idea is to make it seem impolite and immoral to mention the obvious.

The bullying is highly effective and very dangerous. In England, in the city of Rotherham, at least 1,400 non-Muslim girls, some as young as 11, were brutally raped by Muslim immigrants over a period of years in the 2000s. Police and other officials worked to keep the facts hidden because, according to multiple reports, they were afraid of being called racist. Think about that: police officers did not want to seem racist, so they stood by and let their city’s children be raped

No person of importance on the right seeks to silence anyone on the left. The Left, on the other hand, is broadly committed to ostracizing, blacklisting, and even criminalizing right-wing speech.

......So, when it comes to the Great ****hole Controversy of 2018, my feeling is: I do not care, not even a little. I’m sorry that it takes someone like Trump to break the spell of silence the Left is forever weaving around us"
End quote

The essay goes on to further address Trump's "hole" comment in an honest and refreshing way.

And to this bullying point -- I just read ANOTHER story today of a conservative college student bullied by democrats because she dared to offer the conservative side to an argument. This stifling of conservative students or speakers on campus has gotten totally out control.

See -- to have a different opinion or set of actual facts that you won't see on leftist media -- even Obama says you are from a different planet.

The silencing is subtle and begins in school.

1. All these antibullying and zero tolerance policies teach kids to BE QUIET. Don't ask questions. Don't intervene. Don't defend yourself. Don't defend your friends. Stand down.

What happens when a generation of men has been taught NOT to intervene if he sees a man beating up a women? Because in 5th grade Derek was beating on Ashly and Evan stepped in and got in BIG BIG trouble. He got in as much trouble as they did.

OUTCOME: Most of all: Don't get involved. So they learn to shut up and accept what is going on around them. No questions. NO COURAGE. No sense of right and wrong.

2. Tolerance policies: Accept everyone and all accompanying behaviors that are or have been considered abnormal. Don't question. Don't have an opinion. Don't rely on facts. We are telling you what is true. Accept it.

OUTCOME: ALL behavior is just accepted *shrug.* Don't get involved. No sense of decency or common sense.

It's the foundation for what we are seeing now in college campuses. No ideas. No debate. Acceptance of all behaviors that are not considered traditional. And traditional behaviors are considered not only abhorrent but THREATENING.

That whole mantra of people are scared of what they don't understand? It's been turned on it's head. It now applies to any viewpoint that is not *liberal.*

Don't speak *liberal*?

Then you better NOT SPEAK AT ALL.

Yes

No cherry picking distraction will address the topic of the thread or value of the broader issue for discussion.

Its disingenuous. Anyone can do it but it has little value on the whole.

There is a difference between Iran and the USA but that is another topic itself.

All I have to do is point out one wrong assumption to dismiss the entire thing. It could be done for others but there is no need.

Iran isn't killing tens of thousands innocent people. We are.

Some people are not capable of adult conversations

You are a racist, you are a bigot, you are a waste of human life is their Ad hominem way of "debating". It is truly disturbing and pathetic to say the least.

But then again, they follow the example of Chinese cultural revolution. So it is understandable.

The left likes to point to the socialism of European countries as examples of success. They fail to point out that they had to do it by controlling speech. Those controls are still in place and backed up by force and imprisonment.
Be compliant or be silent and if you are not we will jail you for your different ideas.
Reporters are not free to report the truth. They are free to report the governments position and views.

Control the media and dumb down the population to keep the population compliant.

Group think is rampant in socialism.
