Progressives now use censorship as a weapon, increasingly working in unison to stamp out the views of those who dissent from the Left's consensus.
Based Politics (based-politics.com) "As we observed the 21st anniversary of 9/11 on Sunday, two thoughts came to mind: First, of course, remembering the thousands of heroes and victims who perished on that awful day.
"Second, recalling how much we got wrong in the aftermath.
"President George W. Bush addressed the nation on September 20, 2001, fingering the terrorist group al-Qaeda and its leader Osama Bin Laden as the culprits for the attacks. This would lead to America’s longest war in Afghanistan where we ultimately accomplished nothing, and a long war in Iraq that was just as pointless and had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11.
"Still, that night Bush explained why he believed these terrorists hated us so much.
“They hate our freedoms—our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom
"to vote and assemble and disagree with each other,” Bush said.
"Bush implied that such freedoms were most nation’s universal desires, framing his new War on Terror as a battle of the world against extremists.
“This is not, however, just America’s fight,” the president warned. “And what is at stake is not just America’s freedom.”
" 'This is the world’s fight. This is civilization’s fight,” Bush promised. “This is the fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and freedom.”
"Never mind the fact that the terrorists had specific reasons for the attack, all based on U.S. foreign policy and not basic Western liberties. To date, no 9/11s have occurred in Canada or Holland. Never mind that high-profile figures such as conservative pundit Pat Buchanan had warned two years prior that such an attack could happen due to constant U.S. intervention in the Middle East. ". . .
