American Values
The Intolerant Left
Take a moment to watch this brief video. It features a Canadian business owner who breaks down during an interview while describing the threats she's facing for simply making a donation to support the Freedom Convoy. Her freedom to participate in civic life in Canada is being threatened by intolerant leftists.
It is important to see what is being done to people who stand up against the increasingly Marxist left. The natural instinct is for folks to say, "I don't want that to happen to me."
And, of course, that's exactly why it is being done! The left is making examples out of people hoping the rest of us will back down and keep our mouths shut.
That's why Kyle Rittenhouse had to be put through hell. Because he dared to resist the mob.
That's why Mark and Patricia McCloskey had to be destroyed. Because they had the audacity to walk out onto their front porch to resist the mob.
That's why the left is using January 6th to demonize any protest by conservatives as an "insurrection by white supremacists," while the left made excuses for the "mostly peaceful protests" – the fiery riots in 2020. The list goes on and on.
It boils down to this: The left wants to quarantine the public square so it's free, not of COVID, but of conservatives. We are the "disease" the left is trying to eliminate.
The one constant in American politics since the 1960s is that the left owns the streets. This is critical to their plan. If they own the streets, they can intimidate politicians at every level. They can send the signal that something is really wrong in our country when there's so much turmoil in the streets.
And they don't want conservatives gathering in large numbers. The left hates the annual March for Life. They couldn't stomach a group of Catholic boys standing on the Lincoln Memorial looking happy and wearing MAGA hats. So, they tried to destroy them.
And the left actually tried to make Trump rallies illegal. Remember the claim that after every Trump rally there was massive increase in hate crimes? Of course, it was totally bogus, but that's the intolerant, totalitarian left.
Here's the bottom line: The left knows it is outnumbered, that there are more of us than there are of them. But the left punches above its weight. It's active. It's aggressive. It's loud. It demands attention.
But if normal Americans actually start standing up against this insanity, the left fears it could be crushed. So, it's trying to crush us first.
We must use every right at our disposal – the right to free speech, the right to assemble, the right to vote. We must redouble our efforts to defend our values, no matter how much they try to stop us.
