More with Dave Rubin, who gets it exactly right.
Updated, with more from Mark Steyn;
[W]hen it comes to the policies Trump ran on, Tucker is brilliantly effective – which is why his opponents want him off the air. As I’ve said on his show from time to time, the left doesn’t want to win the debate, they want to cancel it. Because it’s easier that way. They’ll let you talk about immigration in partisan horse-race terms: the wall, the funding, the court ruling against the executive order… But to do it the way Tucker does – what’s the purpose of mass immigration in an automated society with no jobs for the men who are already here? who does it benefit? why are formerly cohesive communities coming apart? – the left wants to shut down those questions, permanently.
So they’ve besieged his house, and called his daughter a whore at a country club, and organized an advertiser boycott. And the strain of all that is not easy. But he’s still standing. So now the George Soros guys at Media Matters have combed through hours and hours – days; in fact, weeks – of moldering tape, and found the ten seconds here and twenty seconds there that they hope will end his career.
Yep Good People have been threatened into not speaking. Their hope is that somebody else will fight for them but the truth is simple – nobody looks after the farm yard better than the farmer who owns it. The bottom line is nobody much wants to look after you but if you give them the keys they’ll happily take everything of value and drop you off at the homeless shelter. You want your family to be safe and thrive then put the boots on and make your presence felt. Defend your rights and freedoms ’cause once those are taken it will be impossible to them get back. The lying progressive wolves won’t stop trying to take it all from the meek. Ever.
Failing to show up to riot.
Well, you get it, Martin. But most Canadians either approve the creeping creepiness, or are blissfully ignorant. And the vast majority of the remainder are far too timorous to stand up and speak out.
Sorry – replied to the wrong article (was my face red…)
I keep saying it … I think a civil war is coming. We shouldn’t be smug in Canada, the effects will spill over and we will be doing without a lot stuff that we take for granted. Could get ugly in the Great White North as well. We have a real little tyrant in the PMO at this time and if he/she isn’t gotten rid of by the next election. Canada may well have it’s own revolt. Less bloody I would think, but in the end there may be no more Canada. Just some territories being plundered by outsiders. ….. China comes to mind. The USA may be too busy with it’s civil war to get to us.
And this with Blair and the LPC banning and confiscating legally registered handguns.
Kurt Schlichter would agree and that is why he wrote the fiction book, “People’s Republic”.
Just as they have promised … American Leftists … are determined to turn the US into a EURO-styled Nation where Speech is controlled, not Free … and the US Constitution is summarily dismissed as out of date and out of touch.
Over my dead body. Which the American Left would like to hasten … they’ve said so. Repeatedly.
The problem is that people simple minded enough to believe that ” orange man is bad” will never ever seek information that does not come from the totalitarian hostile left,
they will never even know there is another side to the coin
if that information was to fall on their lap they would dismiss it as fake news from the evil right,
and they will always rely on the same old media that has turned their brain into mush.
I have little doubt that the hardest of the hardest core Democrats know PRECISELY what they’re doing but the 95 – 99% of them – the aptly named NPCs – likely don’t understand that their totalitarian, anti-free speech, anti-freedom actions are precisely what’s brought in this new Dark Age.
It would be fascinating to see some of these NPCs interviewed, to hold them accountable for their thuggery, and see how they respond.
I would agree. They NPCs do not realize that they are being used as cannon fodder for Soros and Alynski. Like the Russian railway and industrial workers discovered already by 1920 that they were not free as had been promised but in fact were enslaved worse than they had been under the Czar.
