Chicago Tribune Columnist: We Were Lied To About Which Side Would Threaten Free Speech
For years, the left has warned that it would be conservatives who would take away people’s basic rights like the right to free speech. That has been proven to be a lie in recent months.
John Kass writes at the Chicago Tribune:
The lies we were told about who would silence free speech
The lie we were told as kids was this: The end of American liberty would come at the hands of the political right.
Conservatives would take away our right to speak our minds, and use the power of government to silence dissent. The right would intimidate our teachers and professors, and coerce the young.
And then, with the universities in thrall, with control of the apparatus of the state (and the education bureaucracy), the right would have dominion over a once-free people.
Some of us were taught this in school. Others, who couldn’t be bothered to read books, were fed a cartoon version of the diabolical conservative in endless movies and TV shows. The most entertaining of these were science fiction, sometimes with vague references to men in brown shirts and black boots goose-stepping in some future time.
Women would become handmaids, subjugated and turned into breeders. And men would be broken as well. The more lurid fantasies offered armies of Luddites in hooded robes, hunting down subversives for the greater good.
But the lie is obvious now, isn’t it?
Read the rest here.
This truth becomes more obvious every day and most of the media ignores it.
How does this end?
