Liberals are the New McCarthyites—and they’re proud of itLink here.
Some of the hallmarks of the original McCarthyism are popping up in today’s variant. Media companies were pressured in the 1950s not to hire people suspected of Communist ties. Today, pressure is being applied to isolate or sideline scholars who disagree with climate-change policies. In the 1950s, people accused of heretical views were sometimes unfairly attacked or threatened. Today, people who oppose gay marriage sometimes see their jobs or businesses put at risk. Ask Brendan Eich, who was forced to step down last year as CEO of Mozilla for making a six-year-old donation to a measure opposing same-sex marriage. Or the owners of the Indiana pizza parlor who had to close their doors after threats mounted when they said they would serve any customers in their restaurant but wouldn’t cater a gay wedding.
Read it all. It has become increasingly obvious in recent years that the left is no longer interested in civil debate. Disagree with them, and their answer is to try to destroy you.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

The Progressives’ paradox….”how can we celebrate ‘diversity’, with ‘traditional’ intolerance?”
The inherent acceptance of multiple dishonesties within a “progressives’ mind” is much like the theoretical multiverse, wherein a single particle may exist in two distinct places, simultaneously.
See the parallel? Lol.
Hmmm. Whose got the guns?
Don’t overestimate the ability of the right, with its support of the second amendment, to resist the intolerance of the left, with its support of a powerful central state. You have to be willing to use your guns in armed resistance, which I think the right would be reluctant to do. Moreover, the left and government wouldn’t (and isn’t) coming after everyone at once. They attack people one-by-one, disarming them and striking fear in the hearts of everyone else.
Blair, “who uses guns and how are they used ?……hmmm”
The quality of a question has a direct
bearing on the quality of an answer.
