CA Democratic Leader: Free Speech Is Terrorism
Sadly, there are many other liberals that feel this way too! Scary! At least most of them aren’t stupid enough to voice it. California’s Speaker of the Assembly, Karen Bass was.
How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature’s work?
The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: “You vote for revenue and your career is over.” I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.
Maybe Bass should embed with our forces in Iraq or Afghanistan to get a sense of what terrorism really means. On second thought, the men and women on the front lines have it bad enough.
And while we’re looking at that exchange, what happened to Patt Morrison, the LA Times reporter? Did Morrison not feel that answer worthy of a follow-up — like, “Are you seriously equating dissent with terrorism?” Or better yet, “Have you lost your mind?” Morrison appears more interested in promoting Bass than actually conducting an interview.
Beware the politicians who consider dissent terrorism. They’re either idiotic beyond belief, or tyrants waiting for an opportunity. Bass might just be both.
Normally, Democrats take the side of terrorists, righteously defending them from those who would subject them to oppression. But terrorism doesn’t always find favor with our current rulers. For example, expressing the view that our taxes are high enough without being sent even further through the stratosphere is a form of terrorism fiercely condemned by California Assembly Speaker Karen Bass.
After the pesky First Amendment has followed the Tenth into the trashcan, the Department of Homeland Security will devote itself to dealing firmly with this terrorist threat. When the airwaves are rid of terrorists pleading for tax relief, it can move on to the Internet.
