This morning I read that Democrat Representative Omar had quietly
deleted proven lies that she had spewed at the Covington boys even after the
full facts from the full video became public.
How often do we hear this?
After dragging someone, along with their family and others associated
with them through the mud, after issuing any number of threats, after bullying
and name calling, all designed to silence and destroy both the individual along
with anyone else holding views similar to that individual, after all that, when
it is proven that there was a jump to judgement without factual support, the
attackers silently delete their vitriol.
No apology. No remorse for the
pain, suffering, emotional and sometimes physical harm caused, not concern for
a life and reputation damaged and destroyed.
Just quietly delete and then move on to the next victim.
And what does this do for those who are not yet victims of
the hate? It silences them. The Covington boys were wearing MAGA hats. That was their crime in the eyes of the
hateful Left, and for that the Left made sure they were punished. How many parents will let their children wear
MAGA hats to a rally next time (or even allow them to attend a rally). The hat is a form of protected symbolic
speech under our Constitution. The intolerant
Left would deny such speech; indeed, they would deny any speech that holds a
view contrary to their own. That is not the
America laid out in our Constitution.
That is not the America that not only allows but encourages diverse
viewpoints.
The Left’s pattern of intimidation is becoming worse as it tries
to capture everyone in its net. It may
be one thing to try to silence an opponent who has chosen to take on the
ugliness of political office. But bullying
children to prove a political point is simply not OK. The Covington boys, their families and their
school have been put through an undeserved hell that will affect the rest of
their lives. Quietly deleting proof of the
attacks is not a sufficient response.
The Left seems to believe that lying about facts or ignoring
them completely is acceptable if those facts are in any way contrary to the
narrative that the Left would have everyone believe. They have even made statements to the effect
that facts don’t matter if they hold the “correct” moral view. Yet, who are they to set themselves up as the
moral authority in this land that believes in tolerance of diverse views and
values?
Hating Trump because he beat your candidate does not make
your views morally superior. Those who applaud
Trump’s policies such as those that improve the economy and bring unemployment
of minorities to the lowest rates ever are not morally inferior. And, attempting to silence any and all who
hold a view that differs from yours is completely un-American.
The Left’s quiet deletion without apology or remorse after wrongfully
destroying lives of those holding differing views should not be tolerated. I would look to the once objective media to
call them out, but that is pointless since the media for the most part serves
as partner in this behavior and then finds ways to justify it.
The Left tells us they care about everyone, yet their
actions demonstrate a level of hatred I have not seen before in my nearly three
quarters of a century on this earth. They seem driven and blinded by that one ugly
passion and it is getting worse. They seemingly
will not be content until they have subjected the entire populace to their
views and then have been returned to a position where they can officially exert
their tyranny over us all.
I, for one, will not be silenced and I will speak out for
all whom the Left attacks and tries to destroy.
I will not let their hate filled actions intimidate me and I will hope
that those who have been brainwashed by the lies of the Left will awake and
stand strong for the values that have always made America great, beginning with
a tolerance for diversity, including diversity of thought. We simply cannot let our great country be quietly
deleted.
