This item addresses the birth
and seemingly the impending death of free speech (at least, ironically,
at government supported education institutions). Quote: "Mario Savio,
the leader of the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley, was committed to
free speech. But so was Berkeley at the time. In the years before
Savio's movement, Berkeley had hosted speeches by Communists, Nazis
(invited by leftists to cause a stir), and political and literary
speakers of every stripe." And, "Whatever legacy Savio has for the
cause of free speech is dead, but this mindset lives on. The rioters and
goons -- along with their pusillanimous enablers in the administration
-- are carrying on this tradition. It is a tradition that says this is
our sacred place and anyone not loyal to our faith must be resisted,
rejected and renounced. All the talk of "hate speech" is clever
marketing -- like the label the "Free Speech Movement" itself. What
these petty, secular theocrats despise is heresy speech. And they will
throw their bodies into the gears to silence it." https://townhall.com/columnists/jonahgoldberg/2017/04/28/berkeley-didnt-birth-free-speech-but-seems-intent-to-bury-it-n2319295?
This is a leftist oxymoronic
action if ever there was one. Quote: "“While this institution has
maintained an atmosphere of civility and open debate, far too many
campuses across America have become characterized by speech codes, safe
zones, tone policing, administration-sanctioned political correctness —
all of which amounts to nothing less than suppression of the freedom of
speech,” he said. “These all-too-common practices are destructive of
learning and the pursuit of knowledge, and they are wholly outside the
America tradition.” Compared to the way liberal protesters behave at
campuses like UC Berkeley, the students who walked out on Pence were
practically models of wonderful, adult behavior. But let’s not lower the
bar so far that anyone who doesn’t actually riot gets to be praised for
their rude, childish actions. What the students at Notre Dame did was
quite silly, and it only ruined their experience of what should have
been a joyful occasion. And it’s a great lesson that you can sit and
listen to someone you don’t agree with – you don’t have to stomp out and
make a big show of yourself. No one cares what you think. You think
you’re “doing something,” but you’re only making a fool of
yourself." http://www.restoreamericanglory.com/freedoms/we-support-free-speech-say-students-who-walked-out-on-mike-pence/
These students don't seem to
understand how ridiculous and hypocritical they really are. They walked
out of VP Pense's speech yet claim they support free speech. To them
free speech means only that with which they agree. It is truly
unfortunate but that is increasingly the leftist way. http://www.restoreamericanglory.com/freedoms/we-support-free-speech-say-students-who-walked-out-on-mike-pence/
A few other items.
If you do not believe the
government bureaucratic deep state components and private donations from
leftist operations funded by George Soros and others are actively
seeking to undermine our republic, perhaps this piece will disabuse you
of that notion. Quote: "A prominent liberal activist group that is
closely involved with anti-Trump campaigns has been awarded more than
$20 million in taxpayer-funded government grants since 2002, according
to a review of the organization's Form 990s. Make the Road New York
(MRNY), a New York City-based Latino immigrant group with 19,000
dues-paying members, has been actively involved
with anti-Trump campaigns and is closely linked to an organization that
is spearheading a new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span
across 32 states. In addition to generous funding from liberal billionaire George Soros, MRNY has hauled in millions in government grants". http://freebeacon.com/issues/anti-trump-group-received-more-than-20-million-in-government-grants/?
If this is an example of an exalted Democrat I want no part of them. https://thehornnews.com/maxine-waters-screaming-fit-meltdown-video/ She in not the only example of a Democrat exhibiting such behavior. And this piece takes the matter even further.
This woman proved once again
that she thinks she is perfect and whenever she fails it is someone
else's fault. And the Democrats actually wanted her to win. As always
everything is about her and her unbounded ego. The fact is she was and
remains a disaster and if the Democrats have any hope of improving
future chances they need to tell her to stop whining and just go
away. After delivering a blistering hit on the DNC, an interviewer
"... was responding to Clinton's speech on Wednesday, when she said the DNC gave her "nothing"
when it came to data once she won the Democratic nomination. "I get
the nomination, so I'm now the nominee of the Democratic Party," she
said. "I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party. I mean, it was
bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to
poor, non-existent, wrong. I had to inject money into it." It was just
one of several comments Clinton made aimed at blaming others for her
loss. Clinton blamed the press for covering her email scandal "like it was Pearl Harbor." She blamed Trump and Russia for deep levels of coordination that she said cost her the White House. Clinton also suggested Democrats may have to start lying in future elections in order to defeat Republicans. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/former-dnc-data-director-clintons-complaint-is-f-king-bulls-t/article/2624644
That last barb was classic. The Democrat party lied about all manner
of things throughout her entire campaign. The fact is they always do.
The party is morally and ethically bankrupt. Here's more of what
Hillary had to say. I am beginning to think she is mentally unstable.
Adding to thoughts on Hillary's
mental health, consider this item. She claims that her email scandal
was trivial. She knows that is a lie. People are currently in jail for
mishandling classified documents at a vastly lower level than she did.
At one point in time while in the military, I was custodian of 10 safes
containing classified information up to Secret. If I had simply left
one of those safes unlocked at the end of the day I would have committed
a punishable crime. Hillary did far, far worse over a period of at
least four years. One reason I think former FBI Director Comey was
fired is that she got off scot free while others guilty of far less rot
in jail. What General Petraus did was far less serious. While he got a
relatively light sentence he was at least punished. Failure to charge
her with a series of serious felonies was one of the most egregious
miscarriages of justice I have ever seen. The leftist political machine
from Obama on down kept her out of jail. For that they should serve
time. Her constant lies and cavalier attitude about her serious crimes
makes me sick. http://www.libertynewsnow.com/clinton-dismisses-email-scandal-investigation-nothing-significant/article7218
It would a really good thing if
the political left would recognize the blatantly obvious truth laid out
here. Quote: "Racism is only racism if it comes from groups the left
hates." https://townhall.com/columnists/benshapiro/2017/05/10/racism-is-only-racism-if-comes-from-groups-the-left-hates-n2324366?
It is impossible to not detect
the odor of corruption this item reviews. Yet the mainstream media
ignores it and instead focuses on made up fake charges against Trump.
Read the article and tell me which of the two November 2016 presidential
candidates had a favorable relationship with the Russians. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?
This is an item which shows how
the government is under the thumb of their big business croneys. The
H1b visa program ostensibly is in support of filling highly technical
jobs industry cannot find in the American market place. Facts
prove instead that business uses this government perk to lower their
employee costs, not because they cannot fine qualified US
citizen candidates. Quote: "The federal H1b program is intended to
allow foreign workers into the US to do high-skill jobs for which
employers can’t find qualified domestic workers. In reality, it’s a way
for US employers to lower their labor costs, ignoring the large pool of
fully qualified (but more expensive) US workers in favor of cheap
foreign labor. This isn’t a small program, either; in 2014 there were 124,326 new applications approved and 191,531 renewed.
Since this is a three-year program with one possible renewal, the total
number of H1b foreign workers in the US is triple that, or close to a
million lower-wage workers in positions that should otherwise go to US
workers at much higher wages." https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/15/the-h1b-scam/
Any government program that benefits big business and foreigners at the
expense of American citizens should be halted forthwith.
Even elite Democrats are now
saying the obvious. Obama's presidency was a terrible failure. Quote:
"It’s a unique and nearly unprecedented day when a Democrat admits fault
within their own party — but it just happened. Massachusetts Sen.
Elizabeth Warren displayed a rare grasp of reality Monday, when she
acknowledged former President Barack Obama’s failures as
commander-in-chief. In an interview with The Guardian,
Warren slammed Obama for misreporting the successes of his
administration and exaggerating statistics to fit his agenda of securing
his legacy." https://thehornnews.com/elizabeth-warren-admits-obama-terrible/
Despite all the negativity
emanating out of DC some good things are happening. This piece
explains. Quote: "Over a few months, lawmakers used an obscure
legislative rule to ram through changes that will have far-reaching
implications for the coal industry, broadband customers, hunters and
women seeking health care at Planned Parenthood and other abortion
providers. The deadline for scuttling the rules that Democrat Obama
imposed during his final months in office was last Thursday. The 1996
Congressional Review Act had given Republicans the power to make the
changes with a simple majority, within a set time. While the rest of
Washington focused on the furor over President Donald Trump’s firing of
FBI Director James Comey, Republicans were celebrating their effort to
reverse the rules, arguing that it would boost the economy and make it
easier for businesses to operate." https://thehornnews.com/gop-destroys-obamas-legacy-major-regulation-reversals/
To end this piece here is a
brief revisit of the content found in the opening topic. It is
interesting how rich leftist billionaires talk about spending other
people's money to promote equality of income. It is also interesting
how many of these same people are left leaning socialists who express
the desire to control the masses who in comparison have little to
nothing. Being rich gives one the time and resources to ponder about
what are historically proved unattainable utopian ideals... Meanwhile
the masses have little time at day's end for such thoughts. They are
too busy simply trying to stay ahead of government mandates and their
resulting consequences and of course the tax man. Quote: "In 2015,
Mark Zuckerberg claimed he would give his entire fortune away to charity
in his lifetime, and promptly formed an LLC for that purpose… as
opposed to, you know, a charity. This means that instead of
using his own money to help people, he can spend that money on lobbying
politicians in Washington to use YOUR money to help people. See how
generous these rich philanthropists are with everyone else’s money? No,
I guess true charity is the responsibility of the rest of us." https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/05/27/the-real-reason-zuckerberg-supports-a-universal-basic-income/
