Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

While Ms. Sweeney might be an unlikely avatar for our increasingly illiberal and insane times, an avatar of the left’s hate and endless outrage, she certainly is.  Indeed, the absurdity of the whole situation only helps illustrate the point. Last week, Sydney Sweeney made news once again when detractors objected to her choice of clothing… Continue reading Reminder: Progressives hate Sydney Sweeney simply because she appeared in a clothing ad and all they have is hate for any disagreement, real or even perceived

Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

While some say this more aggressive use of power will come back to haunt us as Democrats regain these same powers and use them in turn, conservatives have already been silenced and punished.  There is little more that they can do, and a little retribution is more than well deserved. “You have unleashed the whirlwind… Continue reading Progressives should’ve listened to Chuck Schumer because they are the ones now reaping the whirlwind

Free speech is not free of consequences and why no one will cry for Jimmy Kimmel

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

To paraphrase Clint Eastwood, most Americans aren’t all broken up about that man’s rights because we live in a world where speech has consequences and sometimes you simply need to apologize. Democrats and progressives have found a new avatar to express their outrage that President Donald Trump is leading America into a fascist regime, albeit… Continue reading Free speech is not free of consequences and why no one will cry for Jimmy Kimmel

One person’s hate speech is another’s truth

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The universal condemnation of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments and demands for a new free speech absolutism were the rare positive developments in a horrible, baffling week, but I can’t help thinking much of it is situational and the battle will continue. Earlier this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi managed to do the impossible when… Continue reading One person’s hate speech is another’s truth

There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, we might update it to one man’s defender of democracy is another’s fascist.  There’s an old expression that one man’s terrorist is another’s freedom fighter, but today, especially in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shocking killing last week, we might update… Continue reading Inside every American is a fascist waiting to come out

The danger of rationalizing the irrational and the real danger of political rhetoric

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

If there’s a problem with political discourse, it’s not that speech turns rational people into irrational killers. It’s how so many people, especially young people have been taught to believe violence is justified, and how others think it acceptable to dishonor the dead for political reasons.  In mathematics, there are numbers that are deemed irrational… Continue reading The danger of rationalizing the irrational and the real danger of political rhetoric

The root cause of our political discontent

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

Democracy requires debate, but debate assumes that both sides have a legitimate position even if they strenuously disagree.  Fascists, however, are fundamentally illegitimate, not to be reasoned with, but defeated or destroyed, hence there is no more room for debate in many Democrat circles. Both before and after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, many reasons… Continue reading The root cause of our political discontent

The progressive heart of darkness

Christian TwisteLeave a comment

The real problem might not be with the shooter himself, but the darkness in the hearts of those celebrating the brutal killing of a 31 year old man with two young children, those who have become what they claim to hate.  While we do not yet know who assassinated conservative activist and Turning Point USA… Continue reading The progressive heart of darkness
