More Than Ever, It\u2019s Time to Unleash the Power of ‘No’<\/a><\/p>\n

For way too long, too many conservatives and other normal people have failed to deploy our most potent weapon in the defense of free thought and expression \u2013 the utter refusal to go along with the demands of the carnivorous left.\u00a0As has been said before by me<\/a>\u00a0and others, we need to introduce these spoiled brats to the concept of \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is a critical moment, and how we react now will determine if our future is citizenship or serfdom. The Democrats\u2019 kinetic operation that was the rioting has failed, the violent thuggery egged-on and enabled by half-wit MSNBCNN talk-holes, feckless lefty pols, and the blue check jerk-stapo ended up appalling the voters, and not just Republicans. The grave strategic error of sending the masked marauders of Marxism marching into limo lib enclaves like Beverly Hills convinced a lot of people who hate Trump that maybe law and order isn\u2019t such a bad thing after all. Defund the police? Yeah, that\u2019s a tough sell outside a sociology department. Mansions and BMWs burn just like churches and police cars do.<\/p>\n

The rioting was really an information operation, and a failed one. There were two big problems for the furious rioters. One was that normal people saw no connection between protesting the treatment of George Floyd and looting big screens from the local Target, except that both disgusted them. The second issue was the inability to identify a specific enemy. Who exactly was the person supporting the killing of George Floyd? What was the name of the person who said, \u201cYeah, that was a good thing\u201d? Across the spectrum, liberal to conservative, people were appalled at what they saw on the video. Even Judge Mom, a former deputy district attorney, said she would have considered charging it as first-degree murder under California law. Talk about unity \u2013 America was united in the conclusion that his treatment was a crime. So, the left had a real problem because there was no individual to apply Alinsky Rule 13 to: \u201cPick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

But a larger, more comprehensive information operation is still ongoing, one in which a bunch of pampered SJW stormtroopers, aided and abetted by the weak and frightened elder caste of liberals occupying the heights of the establishment, are attempting to define the tolerable range of ideas and expression within our culture. In a shocking turn that would surprise only stupid people, the tolerable range of ideas and expression they wish to establish corresponds exactly to the ideas and expressions they agree with. The Venn diagram of what they think and what they allow to be thought is a single circle.<\/p>\n

The rest of us are expected to shut up, and thereby concede and recognize their mastery over us.<\/p>\n

We could do that, sure.<\/p>\n

Or we could tell them \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll go with \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look at what\u2019s happening. You had a U.S. senator articulating a position that polls say 58 percent of Americans agree with, that riots should be suppressed with military force if necessary \u2013 and the\u00a0New York Times\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0nursery erupted with silly infants babbling that this idea makes them \u201cunsafe.\u201d And worse, the editorial board \u2013 which at least used to pretend to harken to the idea of free expression \u2013 folded like one of Eric Swalwell\u2019s cheap, stinky suits.<\/p>\n

Think of what would happen if the editors at the\u00a0NYT<\/em> said \u201cno\u201d to these glorified interns\u2026……….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
