“If you have wrongthink, you will not be allowed.”
Behind the Black ^ | April 6, 2018 | Robert Zimmerman

Posted on 04/06/2018 1:47:01 PM PDT by Voption

The fascist, intolerant, and oppressive nature of today’s leftist culture has now gotten so bad that The Atlantic, a liberal publication long considered a reasonable intellectual voice from the left, can no longer tolerate for more than two weeks the hiring of a conservative, even though that conservative, Kevin Williamson, was also a vehement opponent of Donald Trump....Williamson’s firing is only one example of a legion of similar stories. There is the fascist intolerance of modern academia for example. Or we can talk about the hateful scapegoating of innocent NRA members...Or maybe we should mention the hate and violence committed against children and students, merely because they either wear a “Make America Great Again” t-shirt or carry signs supporting Trump.

“even though that conservative, Kevin Williamson, was also a vehement opponent of Donald Trump”

Maybe one of those guys whose faux chivalry helps to keep him out of trouble where women are concerned.

Michael Kelly breathed the light of truth into the Atlantic for just a few short years, before he became the first American reporter to die in Iraq back in 2003.

It was his editorship that Made Atlantic Great Again.

Without him the mag/rag devolved quickly into a reflexive lefty handmaiden and continued to deteriorate precipitously. Today it is staffed by the usual liars and loons who would openly cheer the death of Kelly, a brave and honest man.

...worked the 76’, 80’, and 84’ Reagan campaigns here in Michigan...but I don’t have a Blog.

What IS IT, with Robert Zimmerman’s science/political blog, that pulls out the crazies?
Would somebody please tell me?
(I can guess, but it’s pretty ugly.)

1. You are new.

2. The blog is new.

We(the FR commmunity) aren’t opposed to bloggers but, if you are the originator/blogger We prefer your thoughts are shared in full.

So, those items above are the trigger for my response.

Thank you for being straight with me.

—It’s not my Blog, I’m not Him, I’ve never met the guy,(He’s not Bob Dylan or George Zimmerman’s brother) and I specifically Post under “Bloggers & Personal.”

—Yes, I am new to FR.
I will however start collecting my Social Security checks next year, and was a Movement Conservative way back when DJT loved abortions & liberal-progressive democrat-policies. (some of which he still loves, like Phony Infrastructure borrowing/spending.)

—Zimmerman has been running his Blog for like’ 15+ years. He has no advertising, doesn’t have ‘premium membership,’ and gives it all away for free in a crisp-n-clean package, and doesn’t require you to sign in to comment.

He does take donations, or you can buy his books-— he doesn’t however run extended “marathons” begging for money constantly.

Welcome to FR.

Vendome-
I appreciate you being straight with me. (He’s also not the democrat-hack weasel, with the same name.)

this is a repeat from me, but illustrative of his work;
