Disagreeing with a liberal automatically means you are a racist./s
But any conservative isn’t a “real” black, hispanic or asian.
"one-in-three Democrats think it's racism any time a white politician criticizes a Democrat politician of color.”Political Correctness is when Democrats are entitled, not only to their own opinions, but to their own facts.Republican politicians should be suing the journalism cartel for libel, and collecting big time. The reason they don’t sue is that in 1964 SCOTUS - that is, the Warren Court - ruled that politicians can’t sue for libel (unless they meet a daunting standard of proof of “actual malice”). That decision was unanimous - but then, but for Scalia the Morrison v. Olson decision would’ve been unanimous too - and nobody thinks Morrison has presidential value. It’s just that the Warren Court didn’t have a Justice Scalia in it, so the liberals got overenthusiastic in New York Times v. Sullivan.
In Sullivan, SCOTUS asserted that it was enforcing freedom of the press under the First Amendment - but the First Amendment didn’t create freedom of the press. The First Amendment, and the entire Bill of Rights, was proposed and adopted to guarantee that the Constitution did not change the rights of Americans. That is more or less explicit in the Ninth Amendment.
“The freedom . . . of the press” preexisted the Constitution, and that freedom did not prevent the enforcement of laws against pornography or laws allowing suits for libel. That is, the right to defend one’s reputation in court via libel suit is a right of the people enforceable under the Ninth Amendment.
Every case is unique, and the Sullivan case is not typical. First, because plaintiff Sullivan was neither a Republican nor a liberal - he was a Southern Democrat. This made him an easy target for a liberal court; liberals that they were they were not, on face value, ruling against Republicans. In the light of history, we see clearly that they were ruling against anyone who wasn’t a liberal Democrat. It would have been extremely controversial to have asserted it in 1964, but we know the reality - major journalism is, and has been for over a century and a half, a cartel. It homogenizes journalism ideologically, and the Democrat Party has no principle in conflict with going along and getting along with journalism. Thus, Democrats do not get libeled by anyone with serious propaganda power, and Sullivan is no skin off their nose. Republicans who oppose liberalism, OTOH, get libeled mercilessly.
Republicans need to launch a major suit for libel, right into the teeth of the Sullivan decision. At least we know of two Justices - Thomas and Kavanaugh - who would understand the argument . . .
But...but...what about a black that disagrees with a Hispanic? Or an Asian that disagrees with a Native American? Or an Indian that disagrees with a black? Or...
And then, what about a male disagreeing with a woman or lgbtq? Oh noz!
Our easy, low/no threat, entitled, spoiled, irrational American lifestyle will kill the America that was. Then, the above will all change. Painfully for most.
Look folks, the reason this is done is to push whites on to the defensive where we don’t ask questions, much less get angry at violence directed at us. The Left did the same thing against white South Africans even though most of them had no hand in Apartheid. The FIRST thing any enemy does is to degrade and deny a people it’s language, traditions and culture. I will NOT be a second class citizen in my own country and neither should you. I wouldn’t ask anyone, of any race or culture, to put up with the shi* we have to.
“They would gladly throw in prison anyone who they accuse of being racist.”
Really? Since boy Clinton, survivalist nuts have told me that leftists would be throwing me gulags. I’m still waiting.
