CNN is frightened of free speech

Today, Townhall's Julio Rosas captured another episode of the left's continued freak-out over Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter. He captured it when CNN's David Zurawik said that we need to regulate free speech like Europe.

Zurawik is quoted as saying "You need regulation. You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell. We are there. Trump opened the gates of hell and now they’re chasing us down."

While that's a stunning quote, Zurawik started by saying "There's a bigger problem here about how we're going to control the channels of communication in this country." Zurawik continued, saying "In 1927, we had the Radio Act; in 1934, we had the Communications Act. Congress stepped in. We made rules. The FCC wasn't great but it's still regulating the broadcast industry. You can't do all these things. You can't use vulgar language."

These control freaks seem frightened with the possibility of losing total control of their ability to shape their message. This isn't the Democrat Party of Bill Clinton, Daniel Patrick Moynihan or Hubert Humphrey. Today's Democrats are more like Marxists or the Chinese Communist Party.

When Nancy Pelosi was growing up in Baltimore, her father was a Democrat ward boss in charge of getting out every vote possible for the election. When she became Speaker, she brought that thinking to passing legislation. Machine politics for elections is now machine politics for policy. The thought of listening to people isn't part of the Democrats'/Marxists'/fascists' thinking. That's why they've lost the Rust Belt and the Heartland.

This is what Marxist Democrats look like:

This type of activity is pushing people away from the Democrat Party. It's fueling this November's red wave.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
