Shut Up Now

Rush Limbaugh has been driven from his attempt to fulfill one of his lifelong dreams and owning part of an NFL franchise. Michael Savage has been forbidden to enter Great Britain and even excluded from a Cambridge debate to which he had initially been invited to participate in by tele-link after his entry ban. The left has sought to deprive conservatives of prestige, power, position, and even their voice. Limbaugh was forced to defend every remark he had ever made, and more insidiously, remarks others made that were falsely attributed to him. Savage was placed on a list with actual terrorists and convicted murderers for the crime of speaking his mind on borders, language, and culture. Neither radio host threatened any violence, attempted in any way to inspire or instigate crimes, or harmed anyone. The left lauds anti-American speech and the most outrageous claims about Republicans, particularly the last President Bush. The Dixie Chicks and Charlie Sheen were feted precisely because of their inflammatory anti-Bush remarks. When you bash America from the left, it actually elevates your career and opportunities. On the right, you had best bide your words and bite your tongue or find yourself a victim of this new inverted McCarthyism where people are blacklisted for their rightist convictions and involvements. Liberals believe in free speech only for people they agree with and of course, the vile pornographers on whose filth they subsist in their not so private lives.
