leftist intolerance for dissent and opposition is as old as the blood soaked guillotines of the French Revolution. Not to mention the Revolution's 20th century descendants from Communists to the Nazis (aka the National Socialists) to their more modern American cousins like all those progressives who hid for decades behind the hoods of the Ku Klux Klan or a few decades later appeared as Bill Ayers and his bomb-setting brethren in the Weathermen.
Most recently these people were on the prowl in the Sandra Fluke dust-up, haughtily demanding that Rush Limbaugh be silenced by removing him from the airwaves. And at various times with various affect they have targeted Lou Dobbs during his CNN tenure, Glenn Beck at Fox, and Pat Buchanan at MSNBC. Not to mention the big push from the early Obama White House itself to try and shutdown Fox News with repeated attacks.
We haven't even touched here on those little gems of fascism on various college campi known as "speech codes."
Either you, Comrade, are on board -- or you are a target. The bullies will be coming. You must be made to shut down -- and shut up. Rush was exactly right in saying that the mayors of Chicago and Boston were "essentially Stalinist."
The difference now is that the American people are in fact finally fed up with this nonsense. The light is on and everybody, and I do mean everybody, is home in the American nation.
For those unfamiliar with the basic tenets of the Left, there has now been provided in the Obama-era a four-year crash course in how leftism really works in early 21st century in America.
The guillotine may be physically departed to the historical mists, but the televised images of an SEIU thug beating up an opponent of Obamacare capture the same mindset at work. Lenin may still lie embalmed in Moscow, but his spirit and that of the Russian Revolution haunts the riots launched by the Occupy Wall Street crowd. Even the tamer example of the Obama administration deciding that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was something they didn't like -- and thus refused to enforce the law -- displays the Left's historic contempt for such a trifle as the Constitution. Not to mention the full-fledged attack on religious liberty that is the administration attempt to force the Catholic Church to violate its fundamental beliefs to appease HHS bureaucrats.
Lawlessness. Thuggery. Force.
These are the age old, age olds of the Left.
They have not changed. Nor will they.
