Dissent and disloyalty12/10/2018
“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason if we remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate and to defend causes which were, for the moment, unpopular.”
— Edward R. Murrow The hallmark of a free society12/10/2018
“In a free society, standards of public morality can be measured only by whether physical coercion — violence against persons or property — occurs. There is no right not to be offended by words, actions, or symbols.”
— Richard E. Sincere, Jr. Elite socialism12/10/2018
“If one understands that Socialism is not a ‘share the wealth’ program but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super rich men promoting Socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately Socialism, is not a movement of the down-trodden masses but of the economic elite.”
— Gary Allen Free speech for me but not for thee12/10/2018
“And here lies the great irony. The people who are the most opposed to free expression are the same people who want to express themselves as freely, outrageously, and disturbingly as imaginable. Self-expression is a right that they want to keep all to themselves. The rest of us must express ourselves in a way that conforms precisely to their wishes. They demand that we adjust our language — adjust our perception of reality itself — to meld with their delusions. ‘Here is the script you must follow,’ announces the man who refuses to even follow his own biology.”
— Matt Walsh Hate from the political left12/10/2018
“Sadly today, much of the political Left has become a hate group. As a hate group, they truly believe they alone have the unique right to censor others, to defame others, even to violently attack and murder others whose speech they don’t like. This is now evident everywhere throughout Leftist culture, including in Hollywood and the Oscars. With Google clearly being run by Leftists, and Facebook run by Leftists, and most of the internet gatekeepers dominated by intolerant Leftists, the shocking realization is that none of us are safe from the hatred, intolerance and censorship of the techno-liberals who tell themselves ‘the ends justify the means’ to silence Trump supporters and defame those who support Trump.”
— Mike Adams Government coercion12/10/2018
“Coercion by government, the main fear of our founding fathers, is now its most common attribute.”
— Philip K. Howard Electing the worst of the worst12/10/2018
“Frankly, I don’t know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I’m not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we’re Number One. There’s no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on ‘Macbeth.’ The five of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words.”
— Burt Prelutsky The new social control12/10/2018
“What occurs to me in reading their book is that the new American approach to social control is so much more sophisticated and pervasive that it really deserves a new name. It isn’t just propaganda any more, it’s ‘prop-agenda.’ It’s not so much the control of what we think, but the control of what we think about. When our governments want to sell us a course of action, they do it by making sure it’s the only thing on the agenda, the only thing everyone’s talking about. And they pre-load the ensuing discussion with highly selected images, devious and prejudicial language, dubious linkages, weak or false ‘intelligence,’ and selected ‘leaks’.”
— Brian Eno Self-government12/10/2018
“Government of the self was the original basis for republican government, reflecting the view that civil society was much more than politics. Society was made up of men and women who gave order to their lives by entering into associations on a voluntary basis, quite apart from government, for all the various reasons of fellowship, philanthrophy, faith, and commerce.”
— Hans L. Eicholz The two sides of race12/10/2018
“America’s Ruling Class has a schizophrenic attitude towards race. If you want to talk about issues like crime or immigration, then ‘race’ is a social construct with no biological basis and if you disagree then you’re worse than Hitler. However, when it comes to Affirmative Action, or noticing that minorities disproportionately suffer from certain congenital illnesses, then ‘race’ magically becomes both biological and painfully real.”
