What Is Liberty? The Right to Do What You Ought

America’s Fascist-In-Chief wants to make certain that his Chekist FBI can detain or arrest a person, or otherwise violate all Americans’ Inalienable God-given Rights, simply for having said or done something that was not a problem the day before. And in Commie Joe’s world, if a good and decent American opposes him and future Commie leaders, he can be deprived of his livelihood and have his reputation ruined, sent to the American-stylized gulags that can’t be too far in the future should the trend towards tyranny proceed unabated. 

The government has been able to use these fifth columnists to suppress wide dissemination of information they find inconvenient or disruptive to their activities and plans.  Already, the term “hate speech” is gaining widespread use to suppress freedom of speech in numerous settings.  Since it lacks a precise definition, it is easily adapted to apply to anything the Left finds objectionable.  As such it becomes justification for any number of attacks on free expression and exchange of factual information. 

The very vocal opponents of voter ID invariably use the venerable ‘Racist!” charge to silence all others. Without fact, logic, or reason, they claim voter ID is the primary means of voter suppression, especially among Blacks, who tend to support their liberal agenda. They fail to explain just how ‘racist’ voter ID creates voter suppression or stifles voter’s rights. “It’s just ‘racist!” All in. All done. End of argument. OK – let’s run with that.

Biden wants us to ignore the trucker who crossed state lines (this is illegal) going from New York to Pennsylvania with a load of ballots that disappeared, trailer and all, during the night after the trucker delivered them, first to a place where nobody came to sign for them (he said he waited for six hours), and then later, to another location, where nobody appeared to sign for the load. He gave up waiting and returned the next morning to find the entire trailer, ballots and all, had disappeared.

What Biden and the Democrats must hope for, along with Republicans, is to persuade the political center: the independent and undecided voters. Such voters make up approximately 25% of the electorate, and like most of us, they have friends and loved ones from both sides of the political debate. Neither Donald Trump nor any other serious Republican figure has gone so far as to label fellow citizens who happen to disagree with them as “threats;” members of the mainstream media notwithstanding.
