The Black Republican

Emmett Tyrrell has an excellent piece at TownHall.com today, describing the absolute assault on the First Amendment by liberalism. Referring to the furor over Harvard President Lawrence Summers' contention that men and women are different, Tyrrell writes:

For years now there have been things that one simply cannot say in the presence of progressives. The possibility that men and women have different aptitudes is one of those things. There are others. This means, of course, that there are things progressives are unlikely to hear. When they do hear them they are astonished, and as Professor Hopkins demonstrates, physically convulsed.

These are the fruits of "Political Correctness" - a term which, ironically, Tyrrell never actually uses. Liberalism has banished the freedom to speak frankly about mundane issues, especially when the thought is considered by liberals as stupid or unpopular. And as a result, liberals have grown physically incapable of hearing contrary political ideas.

Contrast this with our discussion yesterday, where liberals refuse to censor themselves regarding highly sensitive military and national security information. On the one hand, the liberal seeks to mute the voice of their opponents with restrictions on their liberty, and on the other he threatens to destroy the country that protects his freedoms through sedition, all the while claiming that he is the victim as he speaks for tyrants.

May God give us the wisdom and courage to defeat these vipers in our midst.
