The Left Aborts Its Right To Be Called Tolerant … Or Intelligent

Issues & Insights, by The Editorial Board

 

Let’s review the news since Friday’s Supreme Court decision – a decision that gave power back to the people to decide what laws should apply when it comes to abortion. Riots. Arson. Calls to assassinate a sitting justice. Threats of violence against anyone who is pro-life.

Taking away right to free speech? 

 

We have a right to be called tolerant. Fascism takes away rights

Who Are the Real Insurrectionists?

by Victor Davis Hanson

 

For 120 days in summer 2020, violent protesters destroyed some $2 billion in property and injured 1,500 police officers in riots that led to over 35 deaths. Because blue-state mayors and governors saw BLM and Antifa instigators as useful street soldiers, most of those arrested were never tried in court. Street thugs paid no price for declaring themselves de facto owners of downtown areas of Seattle, which police themselves conceded were no-go zones. Why did public officials in blue states ignore the violence? They were certain that it enjoyed majority support among their leftwing constituencies.

For ChiGoose, Th3 and the rest of the apologists.

 

 

PROTESTS, THEIRS AND OURS

 

The Left has a rather schizophrenic attitude toward protests and demonstrations.

 

Some are wonderful, like the George Floyd riots, which were not, in fact, protests at all. Or like arson and other destruction committed at pro-life facilities. Others are detestable, like the Dutch farmers’ protests, or the French “yellow vests,” or the Canadian truckers. Some protests, too, can only be ignored, like when hundreds of thousands of pro-life citizens show up for their annual march in Washington.

 

Currently the Left is “demonstrating” against the Supreme Court justices who concurred in the Dobbs decision. A few nights ago, as Scott has noted, left-wingers harassed Justice Brett Kavanaugh and other diners at the Morton’s steak house in D.C. Liberals viewed this effort as a triumph–Kavanaugh reportedly had to exit out a back door–and a pro-Democratic Party organization is now offering cash bounties to anyone who sees a conservative justice out in public in time for a flash mob to assemble.

 

When asked about such tactics, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was nonplussed. These are peaceful demonstrations, she replied, the very essence of democracy!

 

Actually, they are manifestations of the totalitarian impulse. One defining feature of a totalitarian regime is that everything is political. There is no such thing as private life. This is what today’s liberals believe. Thus, a conservative politician or, in this case, Supreme Court justice–keep in mind that the same tactics were used against members of the Executive Branch in the Trump administration–is not permitted to go out to dinner, or otherwise appear in public, with his or her family. There is no space for mutual respect, or even tolerance, of citizens with whom the Left disagrees. They must be destroyed, and their lives made miserable. There is nothing “democratic” about this. It is the stuff of Stalinism.

 

And, of course, all of this discussion takes place in the context of at least one assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh, the same man who was falsely and relentlessly smeared by the Democratic Party during his confirmation hearings. I think the leaders of the Democratic Party are well aware that their over-the-top attacks on conservative justices, and the kinds of harassment we have seen in recent days, are likely to lead to more assassination attempts. I think leaders of the Democratic Party hope that one or more conservative justices will be assassinated while Joe Biden is still (at least nominally) president, so that he can appoint a left-wing successor. I think this is why Attorney General Merrick Garland refuses to enforce 18 U.S.C. § 1507, which bans demonstrations at the homes of judges that attempt to influence their decisions. And I think this is why the Biden administration cheers on the mobs who harass conservatives in public places.

 

If this assessment seems harsh, ask yourself: what other hypothesis is consistent with the Democrats’ actions?

We’ve been writing a lot about ShutDownDC recently. This is the group that is still very proud to have disrupted Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s dinner at a restaurant, forcing Kavanaugh to slip out the back. Worse yet, the group then offered “bounties”: Just message them if you see Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett, or Roberts out in public and they’ll pay you $50 — or $200 if they’re still there 30 minutes after your message.

 

Harassing Kavanaugh at a restaurant after an assassin had been arrested near his home didn’t show a lot of class, and neither does ShutDownDC’s promise to disrupt the congressional baseball game, the practices for which made Republicans a target of a shooter who managed to wound Rep. Steve Scalise. So maybe lay off the baseball game? No way.
