Just like most Conservatives and Libertarians who post regularly on social media, I have been bullied and harassed by my progressive friends constantly.  These tedious verbal assaults prove that the political left is a vast top-down echo chamber where reality is frowned upon. For this article I have complied a list of the most common or most absurd comments that my progressive friends have tortured me with over the years.

Just because I was celebrating the fact that Planned Parenthood funding will most likely be on the Department of Government Efficiency chopping block a liberal friend decided to chronicle every single gynecological issue her and her family ever had. She claimed falsely that poor women all across this country would die if Planned Parenthood did not receive funding because that is the only place they get care.  She also repeated the lie over and over again that women in red states are dying because gynecological care was banned by pro-life laws. 

My liberal friends get incensed every time I post the fundamental truth that abortion is murder.  I get bombarded with absurd comments claiming that unborn children are not alive. I often get called a science denier.  Oh the irony. 

One liberal friend informed me that only certain religious sects maintain that unborn children are a vessel for life.  That same friend told me repeatedly that that religion must be kept out of politics.   I found that statement to be rather absurd on several levels. 

Our entire legal system was based on Judean Christian principles.  If you divorce religious morality from government, you get atrocities such as the holocaust and all of the mass slaughters that occurred under communism.

The separation of church and state is a myth.  The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment only prevents the United States from declaring an official State Religion.  It does not prevent individuals from governing according to religious beliefs.  That is actually protected by the Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.

That Didn’t Take Long

As we’ve been noting for a bit the world is treating Donald Trump as if he was already president. He said this about Syria yesterday:

Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!

Less than 24 hour later the Biden Administration does this:

The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) launched a series of precision airstrikes against ISIS in central Syria this Sunday.

The operation, which allegedly targeted key ISIS camps and operatives, comes at a critical juncture as the embattled regime of Bashar Assad teeters on the brink of collapse.

I can’t say if this was justified or not but I find the timing….interesting

Over and over again I have been bullied and harassed on social media by individuals who inhabit the political left.  All I have to do to trigger an onslaught of mean-spirited and abusive comments is to post something on Facebook that goes against official progressive orthodoxy. 

Whenever I encounter posts from my progressive friends that I do not agree with, or that I know are incorrect, or that I know are pure bovine excrement, I simply scroll past like an adult.  My liberal friends rarely return the favor.  There have been times when I’ve had to do battle with 4 or 5 angry leftists at the same time. Each time this happened I felt very much I was ambushed by a pack of rabid dogs.

None of my Conservative or Libertarian friends engage in the same type of bullying and harassing behavior that progressives engage in regularly.  Just about all of my right leaning friends have been tormented by hoards of angry liberals.  Just about all of my progressive friends have bullied and harassed me.  That is the primary difference between the right and the left when it comes to social media.

It took me quite a while to figure out why liberals constantly engage in this holy war against posts that they do not agree with.  Their goal is to bully and harass individuals who do not share their beliefs into silence.  We are heretics to them.  Freedom of speech is not a two-way street to leftists.  They label posts that go against progressive groupthink as misinformation, or hate speech, or both.  Then they declare all-out war on those individuals that dare think for themselves.

The only way I found to fight against this bullying and harassment is to unfriend those that attempt to bully me into silence.  I tried to engage in rational debate and a respectful sharing of views and opinions.  That was not well received at all.  They responded with insults and tantrums.  The bullying only escalated. 

I firmly believe that every individual has a right to believe whatever they wish to believe, and to give voice to those beliefs however they wish.  I firmly believe that no individual has the right to force their beliefs on any other individual.  Sadly, those on the political left do not share these beliefs.

There have in fairness been the rare Democrat voice objecting to the pardon of Hunter Biden although we have also gotten defenses of the pardon from the View and this gem from MSNBC because, well it’s MSNBC:

and there is this at the Bulwark (via hotair)

But for me the big thing is this:

Yep, that’s the real problem, it makes these Never Trump guys look bad.

and as Professor Jacobson notes there is something that they find even worse….

That’s why the Democrats are angry. They’re not angry that Joe Biden pardoned his son. They’re not angry that he lied about it for years. They’re angry that they feel that this had given an advantage to Trump. That’s what the anger is about on the Democrat side, and the Never-Trump side. It’s complete anger that they feel that Joe Biden has handed Trump a potential victory, and that’s what they’re upset about.

What does it come down to? The sin of Pride, pride to keep from consequences, pride in that “we’re better than Trump” and pride in thinking the only problem with corruption is it embarrasses them.

There is a reason why Pride is the 1st of the deadly sins, because it excuses so many others.
