Marjorie Taylor Greene and I share the same political party. We share some political views. We don't share all the same political views, God knows, but I don't see how that really makes a difference, do you?
The same "cancel" rhetoric used against the freshman from Georgia has been used against Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Doug Collins, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, and even grandfatherly Mitch McConnell.
Let's be clear: Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Chuck Schumer, and Dick Durbin claim all Republicans are dangerous extremists when it serves their political purpose. Hell, they depicted Paul Ryan murdering an elderly, wheelchair-bound woman to make a political point.
It's not just MTG they claim to abhor. And, it's not just elected officials who must be purged from society.
In the opening weeks of the Biden Administration, high-profile political players openly spoke of "reprogramming" Trump supporters.
CNN has taken it upon themselves to have Fox News removed from cable systems across the country. Never mind the inconvenient fact that CNN is owned by one of the nation's largest cable providers (nothing improper about this, right?
The organized Left wants Tucker Carlson silenced and removed from the airwaves, and they've even sent their own angry insurrectionists to storm his home and terrorize his family to send the message. Incidentally, there are still no criminal charges in the attack on Tucker Carlson's family.
Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube are actively removing content they disagree with, and they colluded to silence the legitimate and accurate reporting from The New York Post on the FBI criminal investigation into Hunter Biden's shady, overseas deals that allegedly benefited Joe Biden.
If those eleven Republicans who leaped at the chance to be on the "nice list" at CNN (for now) think that this ends with their new colleague from North West Georgia, they're as misinformed as the QAnon crew they are trying to separate themselves from.
And, if you think this ends with Marjorie Taylor Greene, you're not paying attention.
Does anyone find it shocking that the same party that has now openly embraced radical socialist ideology as the mainstream of their political platform is also less-than-tolerant of opposing voices and political movements? It kind of goes with the territory, doesn't it?
For socialism to work, it tends to require a level of authoritarianism where going one's own way and not choosing to participate in the state-controlled system is not tolerated. This is how Marxism is always applied. You must adhere to the new plan, or you will be punished.
That's not really a climate that welcomes free speech and dissent.
And make no mistake, the socialists are now right in the middle of the Democrat's agenda. Bernie Sanders, once the crazy commie in the corner of the room ranting about how misunderstood the mighty Soviet economy was, has now been elevated to Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. And just yesterday, he began the purge on Capitol Hill by replacing long-serving committee staffers with his hand-picked campaign staff... the die-hards who drank the Commie Kool-Aid and actually wanted this Marxist in the White House.
This is who they are now. So are we to assume that they don't like the memes that Taylor Greene "liked" on Facebook, but they'll play nice with Marco Rubio? Seriously?
I'd love to think that our press will stay free and that conservative opinion will still be allowed in the public marketplace of ideas, but there have been a lot of developments in our society over the past year or so that I never imagined would be possible and, here we are.
I know you care about this, and that's why I want to give you an option to help our voices to continue, unfettered and free from big tech and government censors.
I can imagine a future, a near future, where voices like Kurt Schlichter's and Derek Hunter's are not allowed to be heard.
Where incredible, on-site video journalism like Julio Rosas's that reveals the truth behind BLM and ANTIFA riots will not be allowed.
Where insightful and provocative analysis from Katie Pavlich will be demonized and marginalized as "extreme" and "dangerous."
Where the entirety of Townhall's content is deemed too fringe and would be considered as "incitement" if it's too critical of the Biden/Harris/Sanders agenda.
I can imagine all of that, can't you?
There's one way to preempt the power of the unholy alliance between the government and big tech today.
And yet we have people on the “right” wanting to help them destroy Greene, thinking they will be eaten last.
Now had she been compromised by a Chinese spy, that would have been another thing entirely
The ‘Crackdown’ Only Begins with Marjorie Taylor Greene
Yep just like with the whole ‘racism’ canard. It will never be enough and the left won’t stop till they completely crush the right or we make it stop.
Sadly, that is 100% correct.
Reminds one of:
“First they came for the Jews and I did nothing, then they came for the gypsies, and I did nothing, then they came for me..........”
Just saying
IMHO
That’s the problem with these types of situations.
Our people in Congress always think in specific instances
rather than in an expanded world view.
This won’t be the last. This is the new model. This is
where it goes from here, from one rep to the next, shutting
them all up. Don’t speak or you’ll be next.
Look at the despicable things the Left has done. Lets start
with Harris who helped bail out rioters so they could riot
more.
Was she removed from committee appointments? (Frankly,
why not?) No. So the idea mere words would garner Green
the removals is illogical.
11 of our Congress Critters switched sides for the vote,
helping to ensure they are next.
I’ve come to the conclusion it isn’t if your qualified
that attracts voters to vote for you. It only matters
how unqualified you are.
Biden? I rest my case.
The 'Crackdown' Only Begins with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Mods, can you fix the link?
I figured that the 404 returned was an indication that the crackdown successfully purged this fine article.
Remember when Alex Jones was pulled from YouTube and people thought it was a one off thing? Yes he had all kinds of unusual beliefs but notice he is pretty careful about slander. That test case then led to a rampage of cancellations.
Short memories.
Conservative Republican Steve King (R-IA) was removed from all committee assignments after he mentioned in an interview that he was a “white nationalist” (He was white and he was a nationalist). He was defeated in the 2020 primary by an establishment backed candidate.
The purge continues.
She just now gave a great talk to the press live. She nailed it. She called out the press for what they are and they attacked her when she took questions. She is an American patriot and conservative. She represents north west Georgia a conservative stronghold... she represents her people and stands for them. A big Trump supporter.
Mat Gaetz said that her speech was so good he felt like her wanted to smoke a cigarette. And the fox lady interviewing him look like she almost croaked when he said it.
Now had she been compromised by a Chinese spy, that would have been another thing entirely.
I think the Republicans could use a page out of the Democrat playbook and start crying sexism! Democrats hate women!
Add PBS to the “color of your skin” being the most important. PBS’ entire programming is directed at playing the poor downtrodden black that fights against the mean whites. Every night, news and programming centers around that theme. I didn’t realize that the “pity the poor black” programming was so prevalent until I got rid of cable and can only receive PBS on the airwaves. Even the news on PBS is slanted to the far left.
“”If those eleven Republicans who leaped at the chance to be on the “nice list” at CNN (for now)””
Who are they?
Link still doesn’t work...Why is it so difficult to excerpt those names from whatever source is working?
“”The Republicans who voted to strip Greene of her committee roles were Reps. Adam Kinzinger, Brian Fitzpatrick, Carlos Gimenez, John Katko, Chris Jacobs, Young Kim, Nicole Malliotakis, María Salazar, Chris Smith, Fred Upton, and Mario Diaz-Balart.””
I like her. Trump liked her which says a lot....She’s not quite extreme enough for me. But she has great courage. She is spunky and outspoken and not stupidly. Those qualities make commies mad. And she’s attractive, which really makes the commie women mad because they are ugly.
First they will deprogram (purge) the military, so that it becomes their creature;
Next, disarmament (the Jackson bill), so we cannot fight back and those that do will face a hostile military;
Then, they purge the rest of us, until we look like China where you need a license to comment on social media.
