Dissent Is Terrorism

They warned me that if I voted Conservative, dissent would be viewed as treason.

And they were right; according to Whoopi, speaking out against intrusive searching is “an act of terrorism”:

Via Rob Port.

David Harsanyi notes that it’s not just the Who0per:

Not so long ago, the left positioned itself as the defender of innocents against the Bush administration’s war on terror, which was “just one tiny step away from fascism.” The Constitution was sacred, especially when we faced danger — and even more especially when a Republican was president.

It is a little galling that the left likely would have upheld accused terrorists’ Islamic scruples against full-body scanning…

It was not long ago that Democrats were regularly quoting Thomas Jefferson, who never actually said that “those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” (Every nanny-state initiative in existence exempted, of course.)

Yet today, left-wing pundits, typified by syndicated liberal columnist Ruth Marcus, implore Americans to grow up, become better automatons, get moving and submit. The admired liberal columnist Michael Kinsley first offers us tales of TSA kindheartedness and then tells us the same.

Many left-wing publications that cautioned us against George W. Bush’s ham-fisted intrusions now defend Barack Obama’s ham-fisted intrusions.

Modern liberals.  I’m not saying they support authoritarian dictatorship.  But they are the kind of people any would-be dictator needs to have around to take control.

    Wrong. These are not liberals, they are leftists.

    See the 20th Century for details.

  2. Lots of hypocrisy on the left, as you point out. I still submit that the government and its agents (TSA in this case) have the power to search and detain suspicious persons. The problem is that they are picking on the wrong people in order to remain PC. Profiling works. There is no point in searching people of the wrong demographics. And the instant that TSA started diverting people of middle eastern or african descent, the whoopsters of the world would do a 180 degree turn and complain about individual rights being trampled.
