The left is not the harmless crybabies they appear to be at first. If we dont speak up now they will bully us into giving up our First Amendment rights by threatening our jobs licenses and reputations.
Has society really become quite thin-skinned or is acting offended" a new tactic that is being used to shut down legitimate political debate? Progressives are increasingly claiming to be offended whenever those on the right disagree with their left-wing positions. It doesnt matter what the issue is; the left will divert a legitimate political debate into an accusation that the right disagrees with them because they are full of hate towards them. This puts the right on the defensive and removes the real debate from discussion. It then becomes difficult for the right to ever prevail with their position because to do so would mean hate" had won.
Economics? Disagree with welfare and youre full of hate and intolerance towards the poor. Social issues? Disagree with the left on abortion or gay marriage and you dont like women or gays. Foreign policy? Disagree on foreign policy and you hate Muslims Palestinians and the poor in less fortunate countries. Second Amendment? If you support gun rights then you have a cold and callous view towards the victims of gun violence. Affirmative action? If you disagree with affirmative action then youre a racist. Unions? Disagree with them and you despise working-class Americans.
The offended attitude ploy has become stifling. The left has brainwashed thousands of people across the country into seeking out chances to be offended. Meanwhile these same people who act hysterically offended by a differing political view will pay $90 to attend a comedy show laughing the hardest of anyone at the comedians racist misogynist and obscene jokes. This is evidence theyre not really offended by those who merely harbor different political positions on issues.
Try to make a joke about any of these issues with one of these thin-skinned victims and they will tear into you at best report you to your employer or appropriate government agency at worst. Were seeing more and more people lose their jobs over simply posting an outspoken viewpoint on Facebook. The left will whip up its victims into a frenzy and have them bombard the employer with angry complaints until the employer complies and terminates the employee.
