Don't Let the SOBs Get You Down

[American Thinker] As with anybody who has ever shared an opinion not sanctioned by our leftist ruling class, I often come across some mind-controlled foot soldier for Marxism online, trashing something I've written and using the same limited vocabulary of vulgarities to tell me why I should do something profane to myself. Oh, well! Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

Sometimes I get called a "damn hillbilly," and I think, "Well, thank you." If Americans — wherever they now live — could reach deep down inside themselves to find a little leftover hillbilly from a previous generation, then America as a country would find the self-resilience, tenacity, and grit to survive with gusto any bad times that might be ahead.

Unlike the political left, I choose free speech over the government's ever-expanding war on "hate speech" and the inevitable mental slavery such criminalization of thoughts and words always brings. That's how tyranny thrives. First, certain language is labeled blasphemous and forbidden by polite society because it "triggers" listeners. Then censorship is justified in order to banish potentially harmful "triggering." Then the list of "triggering" offenses expands until every utterance is circumscribed. And finally, only one government-enforced belief system remains because there are no longer contrary yet permissible points of view.

#11  I believe it was the one by Haim Hillel Ben-Sasson, an older edition, it came from my late fathers library and was published about 1950. I lent it out and cannot verify thats the author, but I'm pretty sure

#9  Censorship is never good, period.

Hear, hear. If any idea is all that bad, it deserves to wither and die in the light of day.

#8  Censorship is never good, period. "Right reasons" is subject to whose side has the position of authority and control.

#7   "The History of the Jewish People" is a must read!

Who wrote the one you recommend, 746? It’s been a popular subject over the centuries.

#5  Antifa and BLM are, ironically, the modern day Klu Klux Klan.

Same sponsors and organisers (DNC)
Same goal (Shackle Americans from speaking or voting freely)
Same tools and techniques (Terrorism).

#4  The Communists in the Soviet Union censored anti-Semitism.
*Snicker* Have you ever read the Constitution of the Soviet Union? ROFLMAO. The Soviets promised all sorts of 'freedoms' and delivered the Gulags instead.

#3  Eh? The Soviet Union was as Jew-hating as a matter of policy as were the Tsars before them, Shomp Ebbeans2472. Soviet Jews had their internal passports labelled Jew so that everyone would know who they were, because Jews are evil capitalists, donchaknow. There was no censorship of Jew-hatred there.

Though they did vote for the establishment of Israel in 1948, in theiry a pro-Jewish thing to do. But they did so because the leading Israeli political party was Labour Socialist in the British mode, and also to annoy Britain, which didn’t want to let go of the Mandate to rule there they’d been given by League of Nations when the Ottoman empire was broken up.

#2  The value of the dollar is decreasing daily.

They inflated yet another stock market bubble with their $3 trillion "stimulus" shot into the economy as if from a howitzer. And now we have massive inflation and the mother of all speculative bubbles. And a constant stream of official lies and denial.

Watch how much violence ensues when this bubble bursts as it inevitably will in coming months.

The DOJ and FBI are actively using Antifa and BLM (evidenced by their overt support for both groups of domestic terrorists) as paramilitary shock troops to batter American citizens.

Yes. Obvious now, undeniable.

As has been pointed out previously, BLM and Antifa are to the Democrats as the Irish Republican Army are to Sinn Fein in Ireland. A terrorist paramilitary wing of a Marxist political party.

#1  The Communists in the Soviet Union censored anti-Semitism. So censorship is good when it's done for the right reasons.
