The author says; “I really get tired of people claiming they have lost their “freedoms” during liberal administrations such as Biden/Harris.” (“Have Constitutional Freedoms Really Been Lost?” The Pennysaver, Sept. 5, Page 11) One of the opposition party’s “false memes” that this author and 99% of his like-minded media pundits intentionally omit in their daily journalism is a “simplistic” tidbit of a story like that told by Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg last week.
Zuckerberg penned a letter saying that the Biden-Harris administration and their allies in the FBI intentionally asked them to suppress information that was critical to the election. Zuckerberg actually used the term “censor.”
The opinion says some groups like to “erode the values set by the constitution,” but the Democrats and 99% of the media are not in that group. The outcome of the election may have, and polling tells us would have, changed with the FBI telling the truth about the evidence they had in the Laptop from Hell. The FBI lied and another 50 high-level senior Democrats backed up the lie with more Russian interference claims. The news was to blame Trump with election interference falsely while they used lies of their well-orchestrated election interference to censor the facts.
The author wants to add the COVID free speech, abortion/pro-life rights speech, and book banning to that list list of freedoms that need to be controlled by the one party that controls what should be said and what should not be said. AKA censorship. The author asks, “Have we lost freedoms?” I say yes, but only around 50% that’s acceptable by these standards. The practice of democratic politics seems to commit the offense then to point the finger of the crime at the other party.
The most egregious part of this article is the last sentence, which again flips the facts: “There is a difference between maintaining the rule of law and people who simply want to do whatever they like to do, regardless of its impact on others”. AKA Democrats need to control voters with or without their right to think for themselves.
