A fight has erupted in the United Kingdom over the speech rights of
individuals after a candidate for mayor was fired from her post with a
housing organization for expressing biblical views on marriage. The case involving Maureen Martin, 56, from Lewisham, London, is being handled by the Christian Legal Center.
Her lawyers explained she was fired from her post with a housing association, L&Q, for "gross misconduct." The case apparently is the first of kind to see a political candidate fired from her employer over her Christian faith...................Candidate fired for 'gross misconduct' for voicing Christian faith
We have all seen that Biden is not all there upstairs and what's
worse he seems to have ties to China with his son. So there is no
telling as to what is going to happen during his presidency. Is Harris
going to take over right away or are we stuck with a bumbling fool that
clearly has memory problems? But sadly even when he is having moments of
clarity he seems t be against Americans. He just recently claimed that
he planned to defeat the NRA, the only organization that has been
fighting for Americans to keep their 2nd amendment. Just whose side is
he on?
On the 10th anniversary of the Tucson shooting, Biden posted about how he plans to end the gun epidemic and defeat the NRA on his website.
"Ten years ago today, in Tucson, Arizona, six innocent lives were
taken away by a senseless and brutal act of violence: Dorothy Morris,
Judge John Roll, Phyllis Scheck, Dorwin Stoddard, Gabriel Zimmerman, and
nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green. In the decade since, too many
families have known the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence, of
futures stolen and dreams cut down before their time. Today, Jill and I
remember the people we lost in Tucson, and all of the families whose
lives were irreversibly changed that day............To Read More......
How
far can political persecution truly go in the United States of America?
When it becomes verbal open-season on supporters of the current
president, it is perhaps safe to say that things have gone too far. Not
content with shutting down the voices of individuals and even entire social media
companies, the radical left – aided by powerful anti-Trumpers – is
seeking to ostracize millions of Americans. Naughty-list databases are
being openly created and shared online for naming and shaming Trump
supporters and administration officials; citizens are being doxed and
harassed – and it is only just the beginning of what may soon be a case
study in how not to unite a country.
Former CIA Director John Brennan made his position on what should happen to Trump supporters all too clear. He tweeted:
“Anyone now seeking national redemption by claiming to no
longer support Trump must acknowledge how wrong it was to ignore &
enable his corrupt, dishonest, & divisive agenda. Total denunciation
of a despot’s legacy is necessary to eradicate any remaining
malignancy.”
John Brennan
Is this the mark of a rational mind? With echoes of Stalinism and
China’s Cultural Revolution, Brennan is asking for confession and
self-abasement. Sadly, he’s not alone in this historically pertinent
madness. ABC’s Political Director Rick Klein, in a now-deleted Jan. 7
tweet, wrote, “Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is
that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he
commands is going to be something else.”
Brennan’s demands for denunciation by those who wish to be accepted
have one purpose: public humiliation. Klein’s calls for a “cleansing”
are not much better.
Students of history may have concerns about what comes next.
History Repeating?
Former California governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger
released a video that is being praised by those in the legacy media who
have stopped short – just barely – of making the same connection. He
said, “Wednesday was the ‘day of broken glass’ right here in the United
States,” making a parallel between the Capitol attack and Germany’s
Kristallnacht. He continued:
“The mob did not just shatter the windows of the Capitol.
They shattered the ideas we took for granted. They did not just break
down the doors of the building that housed American democracy. They
trampled the very principles on which our country was founded.”
Schwarzenegger’s comparison, however, is deeply flawed. The events
that led up to Kristallnacht in November 1938 began many years before,
with the new German chancellor isolating Jewish citizens. Then Germans
were encouraged to boycott businesses owned by Jews. Eventually, this
led to Jews being removed from civil service posts. The unfortunate
souls were silenced, demeaned, and outcast. Kristallnacht was performed
at the behest of the government who had been persecuting the victims; it
was not, in any way, the citizens responding to what they see as
top-down tyranny.
The former Republican governor proclaimed that “America will come
back from these dark days and shine our lights once again. I believe, as
shaken as we are by the events of recent days, we will come out
stronger because we now understand what can be lost.” What precisely are
the dark days he refers to? He could mean the thousands of Americans
trapped in their homes as their businesses are torched by rioters and
looters. Or he could just as easily be referring to the growing purge of
conservatives on social media platforms. But neither of these very real
darknesses would fit the narrative as well as the historically
inaccurate comparison he was attempting to create.
Language Matters
One thing that has been thumped into the ears of American media
consumers over the last five years is that what people say, the language
they use, matters a lot. But it appears this applies only to a specific
group of people. President Trump calls for a peaceful protest, and it
is wilfully interpreted as a call for insurrection. Nancy Pelosi, Maxine
Waters, and Kamala Harris tacitly encourage BLM/Antifa riots, and the
precision of speech is deemed irrelevant.
Brennan urges public denouncement of American citizens, Klein calls
for a cleansing of human beings for their political views, and – all of a
sudden – words don’t matter quite so much.
