"We are in the grip of a soft totalitarianism which is no less deadly for being soft. Instead of threatening people with prison for having the wrong opinions, it threatens them with unemployment. If we actually had labor camps and midnight arrests, and state censors sitting in newspaper offices and TV studios, people might take notice what was going on. As it is, they just wonder why everything gets worse and nobody does anything about it"
Peter Hitchens "Mail on Sunday" column September 10, 2017
What Peter Hitchens writes about from his own vantage point in the UK applies to this side of the Atlantic.....
If you have the wrong opinion you risk losing your job. And quite often, you do lose your job.
One visible victim of this process is Judge Roy Moore, Moore lost his job twice. He was removed as Alabama's Chief Justice for putting a Ten Commandments monument in the Supreme Court building and refusing to obey a federal court ruling against it. Recently he was again removed as Chief Justice.....court ruling on gay marriage in Alabama.
The recent hostility to President Trump's condemnation of violence from all sides in Charlottesville and refusal of anyone with one notable exception in the White House in standing with him in noting the violence of the left-wing elements there speaks volumes as the kind of "soft totalitarianism" we live under.
....force his conformity to this totalitarianism, a joint resolution of the Uniparty (Democrat and Republican) members of Congress was sent for his signature to roundly condemn racists, KKK, neo-Nazis for violence while ignoring the left-wing Antifa violence.
.....no one else in the White House would share President Trump's accurate observation about events in Charlottesville, that includes Vice President Mike Pence. Pence is campaigning in Alabama for Luther Strange.......

We need Roy Moore's to do it.
We need Donald Trump type office holders at all levels to overcome it.
Luther Strange is the Cheap Labor Express Mitch McConnell backed insider.
What stopped you from posting the whole thing?
Supposedly it is your own material, right?
I would suggest he might be trying to avoid being labeled a blog pimper.
Yea ,,,, what he said !
Excerpting to drive traffic to his blog is what makes him a pimp.
If you say so.
Why is Trump supporting Strange?
Maybe he doesn't want to support someone who said America deserved 9/11.
I don’t have to say so. Just making an objective, factual observation. It’s obvious to anyone who clicks on your profile and “In Forum”.

It looks like the majority of your contributions are blog poster attacks. Instead of writing thoughtful meaningful content yourself you constantly criticize others who do.
Pathetic!
Am I the only one who thinks Luther Strange is the perfect name for a cartoon villain?
If you say so.
In retrospect, parts of America did.
We have fallen horribly since then, "electing" an open fascist and probable Muslim twice, and jettisoning all moral principles for a mess of pottage.
I will be in Huntsville, Alabama, on Saturday night to support Luther Strange for Senate. "BigLuther" is a great guy who gets things done!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2017
Looking forward to Friday night in the Great State of Alabama. I am supporting "Big" Luther Strange because he was so loyal & helpful to me!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2017
Alabama is sooolucky to have a candidate like "Big" Luther Strange. Smart, tough on crime, borders & trade, loves Vets & Military. Tuesday!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2017
The NRA strongly endorses Luther Strange for Senator of Alabama.Thatmeans all gun owners should vote for Big Luther. He won't let you down!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 21, 2017
BTTT
In retrospect, parts of America did.
Congratulations on supporting Muslim terrorists murdering your fellow Americans.
Enabled by smothering political correctness practiced by prior administrations. If we had an enforceable border, do you think that would have happened?
Ravenous enemies of this country have always existed, will always exist, Muslim or not.
I'm suspicious of anyone supported by Mitch McConnell.
I guess he is playing with Mitch as well as the Democrats.
We shall see what that produces in legislation coming across his desk.
But Luther Strange will not advance the agenda Donald Trump campaigned on and has been tweeting about frequently.
Roy Moore is a veteran and served in Vietnam....the National Rifle Association fronts for Republican Establishment as well as National Right to Life.
Rand Paul has to have an organization of his own (National Pro Life Alliance) to counter NRL’s pimping (that word’s been used somewhere-sarc) for business as usual politicians.
I’ve opposed the GOPe on numerous occasions and their comeback is always that their candidate or candidates “get things done”.
The arguments President Trump makes for Luther Strange are inconsistent with his other tweets and his speeches etc. et.
They reset the rally for Friday night I strongly suspect to limit publicity since the grassroots in AL are strongly for Moore.
