Hey, PC police,
'tis the season for "Silent Night", not for a silent right.
Gonna keep this
report short and to the point, to let you quickly get back to family, friends
and fellowship. So, let's put this Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty, A&E flap
into a big picture perspective. Let me take a shot at tying together this fight
over freedom of expression with other major battles now raging in this age of
Obama. Yes, I do see connections, I do spot a pattern here.
It's all about
intimidation, badgering, bullying, trying to subdue or shame us into silence.
It's all about the self-appointed, self-anointed, presumptuous PC police on the
Left trying to suppress beliefs, opinions and ideas they don't agree with, ones
they find offensive or incompatible with their world view.
Millions of
Americans, generally content to live their lives, mind their own business, take
care of their families - millions upon millions are rising up and speaking out
about the Phil Robertson suspension from the A&E show Duck Dynasty. These
fed-up folks of the heartland of this good country get the very real sense that
the PC police - the masterminds, the overlords - are trying to suspend their
rights, their freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom from
persecution for sharing their beliefs.
Consider how
this fits into the big picture of what's going on politically in America - with
government in Washington as well as in state capitals around the country.
Consider the extremely troubling episodes involving the IRS campaign of
intimidation and
threats against Tea Party and other conservative groups. The NSA collection of
massive amounts of personal data on who knows who - certainly a menacing
prospect to many.
Americans to the
Right on the political spectrum are sick and tired not only of attempts to
silence us, to discredit us, to dismiss our faith and our fundamental values,
we're also fed up with not being heard. It's becoming crystal clear in this Phil
fight that a very vocal but relatively small minority of self-important censors
is trying to put a muzzle on the majority. Social media support for Phil
Robertson and his right to speak out has been far, far greater than the support
for A&E's decision to bow down to the gods of politically correct
speech.
Americans are
sick and tired of having the masters of progressive government force policies
and programs down our throats - ObamaCare - that we say over and over, loud and
clear, in every greater numbers - we don't want it. Yet the left persists,
claiming to embrace diversity and practice tolerance, when in fact they demand
conformity and promote intolerance at every turn.
So, in this
season of Silent Night, let's celebrate the good news of a no-longer silent
Right. When a great chorus of voices is joyfully ringing out, and calling out
the great pretenders on the Left who are desperately trying to replace
traditional values and Christian principles with their own perverse brand of
secular orthodoxy.
Still to them,
and certainly to you, a very Merry Christmas from LibertyNEWS TV.
