It\u2019s Where We Draw the Line<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Excuse me for another pop-up post, but the newest events called for it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you weren\u2019t aware of the absolute institutional ideological Marxist capture before this week, you\u2019re aware now. It is nothing short of Cluster B-infused moral decay. But before we get too deep, let\u2019s clarify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am a free speech advocate. I disagree with almost everything Harry Sisson ever says. But I will openly defend his right to say it. I believe people say hateful, hurtful, and harmful things on the internet. Hiding behind their keyboard shield like the snakes behind comedy and tragedy masks. But I fully believe in their right to say it. In fact, I want them to say it. So we can all see who the tyrants are. Who the psychopaths are. Who the Cluster-B RCT candidates are. I want you to speak so I know what is out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the election of Trump, a shift began to take place. People all over the political spectrum were beginning to agree that the far left had gone too far. We had to find normalcy. Peaceful dialogue. Common sense. Biology needed to mean something, especially in sports. Merit meant something, especially in the workplace. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, not only did that sentiment not soften, it just got louder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death Celebration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a zombie-style apocalypse of people celebrating the death of one man who stood for civil discourse without violence. Reread that sentence and let that sink in. As<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lou Perez<\/a> said so well,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have come across people who believe that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. It\u2019s OK to murder you if you express opinions they disagree with and<\/em><\/li>
  2. You should not be able to own a gun to defend yourself against people who believe it\u2019s OK to murder you for expressing opinions they disagree with.\u201d<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I did not agree with everything Kirk said, nor how he said it. But I agreed with the fact that we should have more civil discourse without violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am not a fan of \u201ccancel culture<\/em>.\u201d Never have been. Never will be. People should not lose their jobs over comments made. For years, people have been losing their jobs over saying something pro-American or pro-Western. For instance, schoolteacher Warren Smith<\/a> conducted a Socratic thought experiment with a student. When he suggested that the student think through facts before assuming and claiming that J.K. Rowling was hateful, and after the student came to his own realization through, what counseling calls Motivational Interviewing, Smith was fired. This should have never happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Exceptions To the Rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    However, there are clear exceptions to this concept. One basic exception is economic. If you own a business or provide a product and speak in contradiction to your clientele, expect to be cancelled. Ask Tractor Supply<\/a>, Harley-Davidson<\/a>, or the Dixie Chicks<\/a>. It\u2019s simply not a good business move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But maybe the more important example is professions where you are either a mind-molder or a life-saver<\/em><\/strong>. Educators, first responders, therapists, just to name a few. More recently, here\u2019s a list of professionals who are mind-molders or life-savers and have been removed from their position:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
