totalitarian. He is correct. Totalitarianism is written into the left’s DNA. Krauthammer wrote
about a left-wing petition “bearing more than 110,000 signatures delivered to
the [Washington] Post demanding a ban on any article questioning global
warming.” He concluded: “I
was gratified by the show of intolerance because it perfectly illustrated my
argument that the left is entering a new phase of ideological agitation — no
longer trying to win the debate but stopping debate altogether, banishing from
public discourse any and all opposition. The proper word for that attitude is
totalitarian.”.....
Today is the cutoff date for public reactions to the
California Supreme Court’s ethics advisory committee’s proposal to forbid
California judges from affiliating with the Boy Scouts, which the left deems
anti-gay. Given the Left’s animosity to traditional value-based institutions,
it is not surprising that it loathes the Boy Scouts. What is remarkable —
actually, frightening — is how easy it has been for the left to make it illegal
for a judge to be a leader in the Boy Scouts. This is the now case in 22
