You know,
I like this.
Is Zogby always a huge apologist for the Left? Absolutely. Yes, he always puts things in the best light possible for the Left. But being published, he also has to be a bit realistic, or he will lose ALL credibility. He can’t just spout utter nonsense when millions potentially see it and can rebut him.
And unlike most Leftists today he is willing to debate–he is willing to press his point rather than just retreat, whimpering, into the warm and moist Lefty fever swamps. And THAT makes him very much “old-school.” It means that he is willing to stay in the arena and argue facts.
What a breath of fresh air from the facile fleeing of most Democrats!
Of course, being obliged to argue actual facts limits him to reality, something most Democrat shills abhor. So he can look more Conservative–but he is actually not. He’s just constrained by the facts in a way most Lefty shills aren’t.

Honestly, I am
surprised at just how good this article is.
Amid all the fume and fury we see that censorship has become a core part of liberal-elite ideology.
And it’s true: The Left has openly become the party against free speech and indeed, against moral agency in general. THAT has always been the battleground, and Leftism has now openly declared what side it is on.
The notion that free speech is somehow at odds with democracy is perverse.
Good is bad, right is wrong, up is down, men are women, mentors are groomers. ALL is turned upside down according to the Left.
The words of Isaiah come forcefully to mind: Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay…
So yes, Leftists are currently howling at having their cherished beliefs revealed as potter’s clay. It is truly the shrieking of the damned.
But his [Musk’s] attempted takeover of Twitter has already done us a great service, in revealing how important censorship now is to America’s permanently hysterical elites.
know how to DO that!
HATE free speech. Actually, they are an enemy to all forms of freedom and moral agency. THAT is what Leftism is! They are all about force and coercion, though of course it is all tied up in the happy talk of fairies and unicorns. They have to fool the rubes, after all…
So of course free speech on Twitter is an existential threat to them!
The totalitarian Left — but I repeat myself — doesn’t like “free speech” unless they’re in charge of defining it through their hand-chosen “fact-checkers.”

Oh, were there,
now? I guess you really cannot trust the FBI anymore. It’s a shame…
The feds thought they had a slam-dunk case. It wasn’t. No convictions after all that theater. Everyone saw it was an entrapment game.

Yeah, it is NOT
The real point is not the Democrats’ unpopularity at the moment, it is the structural challenge they face in the Senate:
It is that Leftism as a whole is an unambiguous failure. It is logically and practically bankrupt.
And we shouldn’t be surprised that a system based on force and lack of moral agency is a dog that don’t hunt! We’ve had plenty of historical examples that show that.
for Leftists:
See, Leftists almost always can’t handle rational argument or disagreement. It has become part of the Lefty “Rules” to never leave the Lefty “Circle of Safety” and intellectually engage. Part of it is the intellectual weakness of their arguments. But a good deal of it is the overweening narcissism of most Leftists.
And this problem started with the bastardization of the self-esteem movement. Though THAT is an argument for another day…
It’s all feelings, and no facts. And since it’s hard to argue against feelings, Leftists never really have to defend or justify their ideas. YOU are just a jerk to try and argue with them! And what they do is therefore most often oblivious to facts and rationality.
So, for several important reasons Leftists don’t dare put their theories and beliefs on the line. There’s no more “Crossfire” for a reason! It’s much easier for them to pretend that they are persecuted and run off to some friendly, fetid Lefty fever swamp rather than engage in rational argument!
And therefore it is damning. ALL progress is stopped, which IS the definition of “damnation.” We can call it “Epistemological Closure” if we want to get all fancy-dancy, but it is more common to use the word, “damnation.” We think we know the answers so we are simply not willing to consider alternative explanations. THAT is Epistemological Closure.
And it’s both rigid and fragile. ANY contrary information threatens to bring down the whole house of cards! Because if I was wrong on THIS after being so cocksure of it, what else might I be wrong about?

Yeah, Lefties
are notoriously thin-skinned! Typically, they can’t tolerate anyone who disagrees with them in any way. And they just can’t abide a joke at their expense!
Typically, they are too intellectually weak and just can’t stand the rough-and-tumble of the marketplace of ideas, and instead retreat to the warm, moist embrace of Lefty fever swamps. We’ve even seen that here!

Yes,
yes that’s true…
