In the wake of the shooting of Congressman Steve Scalise and other Republicans, a NJ Democrat strategist, James Devine, wants to #huntRepublicanCongressmen.
Whoa!
Talk about giving two thumbs up to the shooter. Hey, you bird doggers, get out your hunting rifles and go get yerself a Republican!
When our forefathers wrote free speech into the Constitution they certainly were not thinking of flag burning, riots, screaming protesters, physical attacks on opponents, etc. Too many people today, even some so-called conservatives, justify heckling and shrieking disruptions as "free speech."
We expect liberals to say that; but it's time for conservatives to call a mob a mob, even those who don't resort to physical violence. Going to a talk and disrupting it with whistles or screaming, etc. is NOT free speech. It's the opposite of free speech. You can disagree. You can ask hostile questions. But shouting somebody down because you don't like the content of their speech is not exercising free speech rights. It violates the free speech rights of others. When it happens in a classroom at an institution supposedly dedicated to the free exchange of ideas, it is especially appalling. Like this pathetic display of ignorance below.
This event was particularly appalling because the university was involved in the suppression of free speech which resulted in Shapiro filing a civil lawsuit which forced the university to change its policies. It's called tough love and it's what every conservative needs to be prepared to do when free speech rights are violated. Bring charges against those who use physical violence against you. Sue when necessary!
Tell me again why anyone should believe liberals are loving and compassionate? Any party that advocates killing babies won't respect anyone else's life or property either.
