I apologize for going back to this well (and the mixed metaphors). But the Covington cow continues to provide lessons worth milking. The actual event. The professional victim named Nathan Phillips. The media misrepresentation. The Left’s over-the-top response. Liberal Hollywood’s rush to embrace. The violence, intolerance, and anger.
I’m still waiting for Kathy Griffin to appear in a photo holding Nick Sandmann’s smirking severed head.
All of it based on a deliberate deception. A lie that was never meant to be exposed. And that should scare the crap out of regular Americans. The Media’s lies that resonate through the Left’s enormous echo-chamber are never meant to be disproven. They are brute force hacks on reality meant to perpetuate a collective belief whose underlying purpose is to silence dissent.
A Wall of images and sound built to create fear. Intimidation. Silence.
Everything about the original reporting was fraudulent. But in the absence of new media or people on the ground willing to refute the claims no one would ever know.
The biased “news” would be the only truth out there. The knee-jerk threats to life and property would appear justified. And regular Americans would be imprinted with yet another example of what happens when you participate in “fringe” issues like the March for Life or support corrupted administrations like Mr. Trump’s.
Do not support that issue. Never wear that hat. Don’t say these words or think these thoughts. The campus culture applied to the national stage. Look what could happen to you?
All based on a convenient lie.
None of what they said about the encounter on the Washington Mall was true in the real world, but the Left and the Media don’t live in the real world. And they are hell-bent on doing everything they can to make sure you don’t either.
This episode exemplifies the Left’s strategy to silence dissent. If they can’t legislate the Mob will have to do the work for them. Until the Government finds the force it needs to, believe it or not, protect these individuals whom their “freelancing enforcers” threaten without constraint.
The Trap
It’s all a trap. It is a trap where we are not just the likely victims but have an obligation – in the name of liberty – to defend their right to set that trap.
We have to protect their freedom to lie so that we may retain our right to share the truth. Even when their lies produce the level of anger and hatred displayed by the left and their allies. In this instance, against a bunch of kids whose crime was minding their own business. But doing it wearing Red Hats that said Make America Great Again.
Accosted by Liberal foot-soldiers on the ground and “in the air” who hate their own country just slightly less than they hate the people who love it. Not all Democrats are like this. But the Democrat party is where they find support and safe spaces for their intolerance. Only Democrats can fix that problem. They don’t seem to want to do that.
And yes, that is why Donald Trump is President.
