Entry: Correcting Richard Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/correcting_richard#25781 Post contents: The only thing more grating than being lectured on "freedom" and "democracy" by descendents of cultures with absolutely no exposure to these blessings is have these latter-day Platos try to eliminate what little freedom and democracy we have left. Look at what's become of Europe, where these traditions were first conceived and nutured - and tremble. The relentless, groundless campaign for “tolerance” and “anti-hate” is the silent dog whistle of the progressive coterie. Toot it, and would-be freedom fighters everywhere prick up their ears, loll out sticky tongues and start looking for a barricade to piss-mark. Relentless demands and crippling legislation to protect "special groups" from monstrous honkeys are oppressing the rest of us. The tipping point is reached when enforceable laws are passed. Anti-hate speech measrures are endemic in Europe and Canada (and already under fire there). How could we wish such inquisitions here? A democracy cannot designate specially protected groups without contradicting its compact with the balance of its citizenry. Yet here and in Europe, there are constant calls to police the Internet, control speech, contain “hate” and promote “tolerance”, all to protect these self-cherished groups from… what? Phantom storm troopers? What’s astounding is that these “anti-hate” campaigns are at their most frenzied in societies where there are absolutely no elements of officially sanctioned “intolerance” – excepting, of course, routine malice and stealth containment aimed at Christians and whites. In this country, these calls come most emphatically from groups like the ADL and SPLC, who have managed to insinuate themselves as semi-official Tolerance Patrols for government and media. Enough!
