VICTORY’S MASQUERADE – PART II

4.) Voices of opposition are to be ridiculed. To exercise the constitutional right of free speech and question what this administration is doing is to open oneself up to all kinds of name-calling: terrorist, right-wing fanatic, throw-back, unintelligent, mind-numb robot, Nazi, and tea-bagger. All part of the mature response that comes from being associated with the tolerant Left. But their ridicule appears to be having an affect.

A recent survey by Wenzel Strategies shows that Americans are more guarded in what they are willing to say openly. Freedom of speech, it would seem, is perceived to be under serious attack. As soon as the IRS, you know the “guilty until proven innocent” arm of the benevolent government, takes charge of health care enforcement, I should expect that guardedness to become even more prevalent. Let the tax-payer beware.

It is also interesting to note that the news coverage of the recent federal raids on the Hutaree militia are continuously referring to the group as the "Christian" militia. Not the "right wing," not the "illegal," not the "terrorist" militia but the "Christian" militia. Mainstream Christianity, neither Catholic nor Protestant, would identify the Hutaree as exemplifying sound biblical principles, particularly if as alleged, they were plotting sedition and the intentional murder of innocent citizens. But by constantly referring to these alleged terrorists as "Christian," the faith as a whole suffers and believers may become even more guarded in their speech.

From the Tea Bag movement to average conservatives, from "Christian" to Republican, ridicule and suppression from the Left is becoming more and more apparent as we are painted as being dangerous and intolerant.

It is time for a little political reason in the marketplace of ideas.
