\nIn December, \u201cDangerous\u201d was the number one bestselling book on Amazon.\u00a0 It sold enough copies to make the New York Times bestseller list.\u00a0 And the book hadn\u2019t even been published – those were advance sales of a book due to be released in March.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>The book won\u2019t be published at all.\u00a0 Simon & Schuster has canceled the book due to a relentless campaign of protests, violence, and boycotts orchestrated by the Left to prevent the author\u2019s message from being heard.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>I know what you\u2019re going to say.\u00a0 The author is a Bad Man who has done Bad Things; therefore, any message he might spread must be a Bad Message which should not be heard, but should be ruthlessly suppressed to protect innocent minds from being corrupted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Of course, that\u2019s merely the Ad Hominem logical fallacy used to apply Alinksky\u2019s Fourth Rule, which is standard fare for Liberals who believe the ends justify the means, I get all that.\u00a0 Here\u2019s my question:\u00a0 does it matter whether the Bad Message is suppressed Before it\u2019s published or After it\u2019s published?\u00a0 Is censorship worse than intimidation?\u00a0\u00a0 Is banning better than burning? \u00a0Because that\u2019s the side you\u2019re on, Liberals.\u00a0 You\u2019re standing with the book burners. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Are you proud of it?<\/span><\/p>\n

To the left, there is neither pride, nor good, nor bad. \u00a0There is merely power and control. \u00a0All else is a sideshow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
