The Bubbling Up of Dissent by the Left From Beneath Their Fascist Cancel Culture

Diogenes Sarcastica™ "It's damaging to our country when people are forced from their jobs, their clubs or their associations with others because they express ideas that bother other people. I know there’s nothing in the law or the Constitution that prevents it from happening. I’m simply saying it’s a bad thing when it does happen, especially when we make it such a common event. The most damaging effect will be to make people fearful about expressing themselves at all. Fortunately, I harbor no such fear. 
"A healthy society has no trouble dealing with the presence of extreme or even absurd ideas as part of the public discourse, because better ideas usually rise to win the day when there’s an open and honest debate. The problem with our present society-takes-care-of-it approach to speech punishing is that the loudest and most aggressive factions get to decide which speech is acceptable. And the political left, those who deny creating this present fascist style stifling atmosphere are getting nervous now that it has turned on them.
"Today, Harper's Magazine printed a letter to be featured in a future issue that I found interesting, considering who signed it. This open letter on open debate is signed by a wide range of notable people (100) including, Gloria Steinem, CNN's Fareed Zakaria, Noam Chomsky, leftist scumbag Matthew Yglesias, David Brooks, my former teacher Wynton Marsalis, J.K. Rowling, Francis Fukuyama, and Salman Rushdie among other artist, journalist and scholarly elite.  It's an interesting read, even with the ridicules attempt to pin censorship on the right, and you may find the entire list of signatures surprising.
"Fear of the mob or true concern?? You decide. Here's The Full TextA Sample below.

. . . We are already paying the price in greater risk aversion among writers, artists, and journalists who fear for their livelihoods if they depart from the consensus, or even lack sufficient zeal in agreement......" 
. . . "The left knows they have unleashed a monster. And the monster is driving the wagon.

"Some of the most influential and important ideas in human history started out as radical, and out-of-the-mainstream. But because people were not afraid to express them, even in the face of sanction, they eventually changed history for the better. Is it no longer possible for that to happen because the Twitter mob won’t stand for it?

"And do mainstream journalists really believe in free expression? Or do they really love limits on free expression, as long as they get to be the enforcers??"
“No sensible person should think that any governor should be able to rule by decree for almost a year, with no accountability at all,” Wszolek said.

Washington Times  "LANSING, Mich. — Organizers said Monday that they will begin collecting voter signatures within days for a veto-proof measure that would repeal a law that has given Gov. Gretchen Whitmer broad emergency powers during the pandemic.
"The ballot committee Unlock Michigan announced its plan after the state elections board approved a summary of the petition. It would rescind a 1945 law that the Democratic governor has cited to close businesses, limit gathering sizes and restrict other activities to curb the coronavirus.
"The group, which has ties to Republicans, needs about 340,000 valid signatures. If enough are gathered within a 180-day period, the repeal legislation could be enacted by the GOP-controlled Legislature and not be vetoed.
"The committee’s website features a video of Karl Manke, the Owosso barber who reopened early in defiance of Whitmer’s stay-at-home order. She later let barbershops open as part of a gradual restart of the state’s economy.
"Unlock Michigan spokesman Fred Wszolek said the governor should not be able to continually stretch her state of emergency declaration - the underpinning for her restrictions. In May, Whitmer prevailed in court when a judge ruled she could use the 1945 law to lengthen the emergency despite not getting a legislative extension under a 1976 law." . . .

Don Lemon: Jesus Was Not Perfect When He Was Here On Earth

Weasel Zippers
This guy…



Thank you, Don Lemon  "The "great one" Mark Levin refers to Don Lemon as the "dumbest broadcaster on television."  Or is that Brian Stelter?  No matter.  Two sides of the same lying media coin.
"On Monday night, in an interview with Terry Crews, Don Lemon (inadvertently) gave up the game.  When Crews challenged Lemon regarding black-on-black crime and the death of a half dozen black children this past week, Lemon stated;
The Black Lives Matter movement was started because it was talking about police brutality. If you want an All Black Lives Matter movement that talks about gun violence in communities, including, you know, black communities, then start that movement with that name. 
"All this time, we were told that Black Lives Mattered.  Anyone who disagreed with Black Lives Matter was deemed racist for not advocating for the safety of, ahem, black lives.  It now is clear — thank you Don Lemon — that seemingly not all black lives matter.  Only those who die as a result of police brutality do — or, more particularly, only those deaths that can be leveraged for cultural or political gain."
. . . 
"Black Lives Matter are Marxist-anarchist "community organizers," rubbing raw the sores of discontent.  Their intention is the destruction of western civilization.
"Here is a list of their demands:
  • All black Americans should receive a guaranteed minimum income, health care, schooling, food, real estate, genital mutilation if they want to pretend to be members of the opposite sex, and abortion.
  • Bring an "an end to all jails" as we know them.
  • Disrupt the traditional family.
  • Demand reparations on behalf of foreign nations.
  • Form a "global liberation movement" that will "overturn US imperialism [and] capitalism." . . .
Fox News' Tucker Carlson Attacks Don Lemon: CNN Wants 'Dumb People on TV'
Trump slams Don Lemon as 'dumbest man on television' over debate question
"What do you say to those Trump voters who prioritize the economy over the president's bigotry?" Lemon asked Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
"This is not a journalist. He’s an insecure child-man, looking for attention."

Don Lemon’s Anti-Trump Rant Takes Swing At Melania, Compares To Michelle Obama

Ex-SEAL's hammering of CNN's Don Lemon goes viral  


. . . "After all he's gone through, Mattos wrote in a statement spotlighted by BizPacReview, he's "now returned home to the USA where a CNN host has labeled me as a radicalized right wing terrorist simply because of my gender and the color of my skin."
" 'If CNN does not fire Don Lemon immediately, it only goes to show that they are truly the 'enemy of the people,'" he wrote.
