Americans used to be able to disagree and engage in debate based on principles and the facts at hand, but no more. That America has been steadily eroded since the time of Woodrow Wilson, thanks to his chief propagandist, Edward Bernays, an expert on crowd manipulation lauded by Joseph Goebbels.

The latest Wikileaks email dump from Podesta reveals an admission that the goal of the Democrat party has been to create an uninformed and compliant voter population. How sadly true this statement is becomes graphically apparent when Hillary is caught garbling her speech to say " . . . and we're going to raise taxes on the middle class!" the crowd behind her went wild with approval, apparently oblivious to anything she was saying. I think she could have said "free cheeseburger and flies" and gotten the same response.

The blindly compliant crowds see nothing wrong with censorship of any speech that does not obey the diktat of the party. When they can't get a corrupt, activist judiciary to enforce the censorship, they create a new category of offense using the limitlessly malleable cover of political correctness, as in "microaggression," "cultural appropriation," and the cry of "racist," which now means whatever the accuser wants it to mean. Public shaming, social media death threats, and physical violence are the final battery of tools to suppress oppositional speech.

Thank you for the quote. One more time Ayn Rand's brilliance is put on display.

If the statements, accusations, charges, and Etc against Hillaliar are all false?
How come I do not see any slander or defamation of character lawsuits being filed?

It is more than the right to disagree, it is the right to act when those actions do not hurt others. If you want to use fiat currency or have 'free' health care I don't care as long as I can disagree by not participating with either. If I can't do that then the right of the majority to use violence to force me to comply indicates I am a slave with the right to complain.

I couldn't agree more.
The corollary is the right to say NO.
One of the worst phrases to come out of the 20th century is to "go along in order to get along."
Think about it. Evaluate it. Come to a decision regardless of what anyone else may think. However, this does not mean that you cannot hear an opposing view. Never get so concretized that your mind can never be changed when presented with new facts or things you haven't considered.

I have friend with many different ideologies and beliefs and of every race and color. Conversely, I know assholes in each ideology and belief and every race and color. I prefer not to and go out of my way in dealing with assholes.

That said, I do enjoy a productive argument.
