Impeachment: The New Front In The War On Free Speech

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's haughty restrictions on fiery Upstate New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik's questioning of ousted U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch on Friday were the most visible manifestation of Democrats' impeachment efforts being in reality a communications war.

The message from Democrats is that the president of the United States exercising the same constitutional right of free speech enshrined in the First Amendment that all Americans enjoy is an obscenity - indeed a felony, it supposedly being a process crime that interferes with the House's impeachment inquiry.

The outrage from Democrats over Attorney General William Barr's choice of the word "Spying" while testifying to Congress in the spring to describe the Obama Administration's probing of dealings between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.

If the ideas that Democrats' espouse were as beneficial for Americans as Democrats hold them to be, they would be eager to put them up against the conservative proposals they revile, anxious to engage in debate after debate.

From losing a domestic war on poverty to losing, via incrementalism, a foreign war in Vietnam; from seeing personal morals turned upside down in the sixties to feeling tax revenues trickle down in the eighties, the ideas of the left have failed.

Democrats simply cannot win a war of competing ideas, so they must change the conflict to one of competing communication strategies.

A Donald Trump associated with tax cuts, regulatory relief, record high markets and record low unemployment, fighting back against Chinese economic warfare, restraining unfettered immigration, and fulfilling previous presidents of both parties' pledge to relocate our embassy to Jerusalem - that Donald Trump is sure to win reelection next year.
