Had cooler heads prevailed, the story might have been seen as the insignificant little flap it really was. For what chance, do you think, did Polite ever have of actually ramming something through city council prohibiting political expression in public spaces? In reality, I’d say his prospects were about zero.The Left would like to lull us into a false sense of security, wouldn't they?
But look what's happening in places where the Left is in power, like Canada and Europe. They are locking up people who say things that offend the Left. They are using their power to stifle the opinions of everyone who disagrees with them. They don't really believe in freedom at all.
Liberals are only "liberal" until they get power.
Considering that some Christian activists are facing up to 47 years in jail for peacefully protesting a group of homosexuals in another part of this state, I would say that conservatives are right to make a big deal out of what this liberal fascist politician threatened to do.
