Fascism comes to Vermont

But really, its been here for awhile.

From the Times argus

MIDDLEBURY — Hundreds of Middlebury College students demonstrated ahead of a lecture by speaker Charles Murray, who some have called a white nationalist. Murray wrote “The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life” and “Coming Apart: The State of White America, 1960-2010.”

Before Murray spoke Thursday, students turned their backs on him and chanted, “Your message is hatred. We can’t tolerate it.” More than 450 alumni also signed a letter decrying the decision to bring Murray to campus.

The student group American Enterprise Institute Club invited Murray and the Political Science Department cosponsored the lecture. Middlebury College said the student group had a right to invite him.

“I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it”  Attributed to Voltaire.

Such a statement would be considered racist today.  How you ask?  Good question.

Of course this behavior is and has been happening on college campuses all across the country for a long time.

Freedom of speech for me but not for thee.

This gentleman was quite a revolutionary in his day. Of course later on he himself was declared an “enemy of the people” and was shot after a show trail in 1938.

Of course if you are not going to allow certain speakers to speak on your campus, what about their books? Is it such a leap from shutting down their lectures to…

This?

I wonder what Peter, Pat, Phil, and Bernie, have to say about this? Their silence is deafening.

Why most conservative bloggers use a pseudonym.

Social commentary / March 1, 2017

Because liberalism is a mental disease, and like some Muslims they can become really unhinged when their sacred ideologies are questioned and challenged.

From American Thinker.

And for those who think they’ll stand by this president despite the attacks, think again.  Tom Brady is hounded by liberals over his friendship with Trump.  Celebrities are blacklisted if they offer support.  Activist websites openly bully companies to discontinue Trump merchandise.  Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Burlington, and others have now dropped the Trump label, and the list of  capitulating stores is growing.

Lesson: You don’t like someone?  Stalk him.  Trash everything he does.  Mock, demean, ridicule, and ostracize this person.  For those who still hang with your victim, attack them as well.  Harass, threaten, and blackball them until they too turn on your target.

Praise Trump in any capacity and feel the heat. Just ask Mr. Van Jones.

Unlike Libs who proudly can with pride display their ignorance and gibberish in letters to the editor of the local party organ and sign their own name without fear of consequences, conservatives have to be more circumspect.

This is why we use a pseudonyms.
