Funny thing is, I’ve never seen or heard a Conservative (other than ultra-wackjobs that are in no-way part of any mainstream), who has ever even remotely hinted that this is something they’d ever consider. The only ones I’ve heard REPEATEDLY either hint it or basically come right out and say they wanted to forcibly shut people up is…THE LEFT!

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard someone from the left, from top politicians to the garden variety home-town barking moonbat, say that Fox News should be shut down, Conservative bloggers should be thrown off the ‘net, and Conservative radio talk show hosts should be jailed, and on and on and on. How many times recently have we heard calls for those who (gasp) dare to question “Global Warming”, (er…uh…”Climate Change”…ummm…whatever the hell they’ll call it next when their caught making crap up), to be drummed out of their jobs and and be run out of town on a rail?

How many Communist revolutions have said they stood for the “voice of the people,” but once the people fight to put them into power, the first thing they do is silence the voice of the people? There is no room for differing opinion or beliefs on the left. You are either for them or against them. If you are against them, you are lower than pond scum and deserve any jailing, censorship, or even death that is visited upon you by the “enlightened left.”

These little scare tactics by the left remind me of some that I heard ALL THE TIME before Bush was first elected. I heard from MANY black friends, co-workers, and associates that they had “heard” that if this Bush character got into office, that all blacks would be rounded up and put back into slavery. Yessiree Bob! Bush (who was also supposedly a high muckety-muck in the KKK), was going to arrest all blacks and send them back to the plantations. This I heard from college professors, professionals, college graduates, high school graduates, high school drop-outs, and well, basically from blacks from every type of economic and educational back round.

Hmm. We’re counting down the last year of Bush’s 8 in office. I wonder if he has something incredibly dastardly up his sleeve for the next 6 months, or if all the people that parroted that story to me were just blind kool-aid drinkers. Methinks the latter.
