Expect violent protests at the GOP convention in Cleveland since protesters have already said they intend to ignore restrictions keeping them far from delegates. Liberals and those who fall politically left brag about being “accepting” and “tolerant” of others, yet they are the ones you usually find attacking people for their views. Today’s liberals are much more interested in stifling debate than having it and for them, violence is a legitimate political protest strategy.
Recent examples of intolerance:
- Condoleezza Rice and others have recently been denied a “free speech” opportunity on liberal-leaning campuses.
- South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott got attacked by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People simply for being politically conservative and not following the liberal agenda. Liberals are fine with anyone who doesn’t look like them until they don’t think like them.
- GLAAD attempted to get Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” fired for his religious beliefs in support of traditional marriage.
- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said there’s “no place in New York” for extreme conservatives — extreme being pro-life or pro-gun.
America’s liberal of yesteryear fought for free speech but today a once-vibrant liberal tradition is becoming a force for denying people’s rights and freedoms. Having gained more political power, liberalism today is becoming increasingly intolerant of any dissenting point of view.
Violent protesters don’t seem to realize that their action will only cause the undecided to reject their argument.
