Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should

Just because you can doesn't mean you should... Wise and timeless words spoken by my Mom to me when I was much younger and dumber. Words that the modern left has no clue about.

We have the absolute right to free speech in this country, but just because you can doesn't mean you should. Take our friend Maxwell Alejandro Frost for example. Yesterday, our favorite Uber driver with a credit score so low he couldn't rent an apartment when he was elected to congress broke off this gem about President Trump and the GOP, "Donald Trump doesn't want a democracy, he wants a throne. The president and his lapdogs in the Congress, the VP, the chairman of the FCC, AG, Secretary of State are implementing a dangerous agenda to punish their opposition. Fascism is not on the way, it is here." Less than 10 days after Charlie Kirk was murdered, Frost isn't backing off his inflammatory rhetoric. Frost went on to say that the first amendment is his power. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Frost has amnesia. He's forgotten about the last 16 years of left wing cancel culture, legalized propaganda (Smith Mundt modernization of 2013), censorship on social media including deplatforming of this show by Facebook, the Global Disinformation Network, the Biden administration's disinformation department within DHS, the Biden State Department's office set up to monitor social media and create dossiers on individuals who served as "vectors of disinformation." To left wing bomb throwers like Frost there is no censorship of speech on college campuses, and conservative speakers like Ben Shapiro, Riley Gaines, and Charlie Kirk weren't being intimidated, cornered and attacked, and killed.

Over the past 50 years the left gained control of many of our core institutions- public schools, colleges, the national media both electronic and print, Hollywood, the music industry, the courts, and the bureaucracies at all levels of government. In each case, the left has leveraged control of those institutions to censor speech and undermine traditional American values. And when the left doesn't get its way, it gets violent.

Just in the last 8 years- the GOP baseball practice shooting, Rand Paul being attacked and beat up in his yard, Tucker Carlson's house being attacked, an assassin at Justice Cavanaugh's house, the "summer of love," two assassination attempts against Trump, the killing of Charlie Kirk, and so many more... all a result of inflammatory speech by the left and censorship of the right. In other words, indoctrination of a violent left wing ideology with no real balance from a conservative perspective due to censorship led to violence.

How pervasive is it? I googled "violent left wing attacks against the GOP in the last 10 years" and it took 3 pages before I got a link that had any kind of right wing perspective, and that was a TV station in Des Moines, Iowa, and 3 more pages before I saw another one from Fox News.

Maxwell Alejandro Frost said yesterday that "the first amendment is his power." That's a real interesting statement coming from the likes of him. Imagine if the Bill of Rights was introduced as 10 separate bills in Congress today. Do you think the first amendment, with its guarantees of free speech, religious freedom, freedom of press, would garner even one democratic vote?

How about the second amendment's right to bear arms? Laughable, they're trying to get rid of that now.

How about the fourth amendment? Do you really think the democrats are against unreasonable search and seizure?

How about the fifth amendment's protections against double jeopardy, protection of private property, and self-incrimination? Think that would stand a chance?

And the sixth amendment, the part about an impartial jury. Ask the J6 defendants, any GOP with a case in the DC Circuit or southern district of New York if they had a right to an impartial jury.

How about the eighth amendment? Ask the J6 defendants if they were protected against excessive bails, fines, and cruel and unusual punishment.

How about the ninth amendment? Ask any democrat on Capitol Hill if their rights are derived from government specifically or if their rights are inalienable and derived from God.

As for the tenth amendment, the fact that federalism has largely been replaced with statism in our country is your answer.

In the case of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the left has perverted and twisted the narrative around our rights and responsibilities. For example, there is a growing theme on the left and media that right wing calls for leftist's jobs due to idiotic and inflammatory speech is the moral equivalent of violence, in this case Kirk's killing. How can you justify those who engage in that kind of inflammatory speech teaching or working with your children, administering your healthcare, enforcing your laws, or having your life in their hands in transportation? The media will tell you that Kirk was the "divisive" one, not those who seek to inflame and intimidate. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

The same people who kneeled and told us George Floyd was a saint want to tell you what to think, feel, and do. Napolean Bonaparte said, "War is when your government tells you who your enemy is. Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself."

Regarding Charlie Kirk, the Danish philosopher Soren Kirkegaard summed it up best when he said, "When the tyrant dies, his reign ends. When the martyr dies, his reign begins." As for the rest of us, Kirkegaard summarized it this way, "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards." Kirkegaard's philosophy was one of faith transformed into action, which is exactly what Charlie Kirk stood for.

As for the democrats like Maxwell Alejandro Frost, they should read 1 Corinthians 10: 23-24, which say "Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible, but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others"...... Or in the words of my late Mom, just because you can doesn't mean you should.
